Dunno about that. I'm fairly confident we'll improve from last season but now we've got Newcastle with Benitez, Villa who've just been taken over so could spend big, Brighton have got Hughton tied down to a new deal and will probably improve their squad, Norwich you'd expect to keep most of their squad together and will be up there, Wigan I reckon may be up there, your lot out of the embargo and a new owner and Fulham out of the embargo .... It gets said nearly every season that 'this year will be the hardest,' but it's the first time in a while I'm actually thinking it could be.

Kennington Ram Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Yep, mostly happy. Pearson has a terrific track record, and I can still remember watching Leicester tear us apart with ease and a clear game plan - the second best in the league at the time - in their promotion season. Hope we do that to a few of our main rivals next season. Scouting system needs sorting still, because we've basically been signing dross or been paying big money with mixed results since Clough left. Not all bad, but we've got a pretty worrying strike rate. Hopefully Pearson will knock some sense into them or knows some mates who can do better, but I just hope he doesn't clear players out and then sign sub-par replacements we've scouted for him... Chris Powell knows how to make Butterfield work well, which is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevor1946 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 W OW this club has now moved into gear.a no-nonsense guy,always liked him,calls a spade a spade. Player power no chance,,dirty tricks he knows them all,a top manager,what a choice Chris Powell as the assistant Mel Morris must have learned a lot,in a short time,well done on a great appointment --- ,A TIP. If going into the dressing room,when things,are not right------were a crash hat and duck,and the air will be blue. From me well done Mel Morris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennington Ram Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Also, a further thought, Pearson seems like the kind of guy who would rather hammer a nail through his nuts than limply bother to contend with your local rivals like Clement did in his only East Mids Derby. He seems like someone who understands English football at all levels, as he's been there done that etc - I liked Clement but he always seemed a bit unconcerned with anything other than the highest levels of the game...

Kernow Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 A lot of positive comments on the Leicester forum about him and our chances now we have him. The consensus is we'll be up within 2 seasons. I think that should be the aim. I'd be happy with a solid season this year and consistency. Hopefully he gets the time that Clement wasn't allowed.

The fact he was a fan favourite is neither here nor there - he just has a great reputation as a bloke and as a manager To get him in as a #2 is am amazing feat when he could have had the manager's job at most clubs in this league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
São Paulo Ram Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Decent appointment at Championship level. He'll get us playing with a bit of swagger again I think. If he can keep hold of Will Hughes, bring in a couple of decent centre backs, I think we can't go far wrong. It will be very interesting to see what his transfer budget will be...although if he can make signings like he did at Leicester (Vardy, Mahrez and Kante) then maybe it isn't that important.

PistoldPete2 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I missed all the fun. Lots of experience of the Championship these guys. Hope they won't get much more experience of it tho, exactly one more year will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRBee Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Great appointment - will certainly have my 100% support Our slip ups in recent seasons dictate we needed an experienced manager. Like Chris Powell 's appt as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarrowRam Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Good appointment for derby. Knows how to get out of the championship. He won't take any rubbish of anyone. Glad it's been an ounces now. Let's look forward. Glad we've kept Darren Wassall with the academy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Well that's that sorted then, experienced, successful and available, and a decent assistant in Chris Powell with very good connections with Derby and a wealth of experience, well done to Mel Morris etc, what more can he do? Hopfully we get the luck to accompany both of them, and the players should be very interested in what is happening. a big thank you to Darren Wassal for improving the football and returning to his full time role.

TETRA Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Good appointment, someone who knows how to get out of the Championship at last. I've always rated Chris Powell even more so than Pearson if I'm honest. The two together should be a good combination. Let's just hope though that Mel keeps out of the dressing room & leaves them to it. It will be interesting now to see what Pearson does with the squad he's inherited. as I can't somehow see him being given another £25 Million to spend.

Sportsmail understands Derby believe Pearson can provide the required inspiration for the current squad without the need for another summer of heavy investment. The club spent in the region of £20million last year but for the third season in succession failed to gain promotion, losing to Hull in the play-off semi finals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
