Jon_Grooves Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Another ex Derby player from the modern day glory years under Jim Smith. It seems MM likes to to appoint some one from that good time with each new Head coach/Manager appointment. Paul Simpson & Mclaren, Wassall and Now Powell under Pearson. Maybe with Powell as assistant manager, Mel might be thinking he could step up as the main man once Pearson eventually leaves and we have a Derby man as our number one? Thats if Pearson stays with us for a while and is a success. obvs Wassall is also a probable future number one, and also a player from around the Jim Smith era. Real good Derby appointments from Mel Morris. I really like having that old Derby connection within the club. Keeping it pure Derby, definitely part of what comes under 'the derby way' philosophy.

Kernow Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Pearson wanted Powell so it's his choice. I think it's just coincidence that Powell happened to be at Derby. If Pearson went to Villa instead, Powell probably would have gone there too. They've coached together before and Pearson expressed a desire to coach with Powell again after he left Leicester, so I wouldn't say this was Mel's idea, he was just happy to accept Pearson's wishes and hire Powell.

Exactly.... but what a great coincidence that Pearson chose to come to Derby. We couldn't be more pleased that Chris is part of his trusted management.

Mick Harford Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I had a look at players and staff from Jim Smiths time that had a go at management/coaching. Got this: Managers Gary Rowett Chris Powell Igor Stimac Aljosa Asanovic Paul SImpson Paulo Wanchope Kev Cooper Steve McClaren Mauricio SolísCoaches/temp managers Darren Wassall Lee Carsley Robin Van Der Laan Francesco Baiano Stefano Eranio Steve ElliottGK Coaches Martin Taylor Andy Quy Eric Steele Mart Poom Russell Hoult Sure I have missed some as well, but that is bloody brilliant, and surely shows what an excellent atmosphere there was there at the time. Now if we could un-sack Eric Steele then everything would be perfect now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but it would be a pretty awkward exit interview with Super Bueller when we have to explain that, although he's doing a splendid job, he just isn't Eric Steeley enough.

Eric Steele is much older so has gained more experience. Just because of his experience doesnt suggest that Pascal isnt as good as, or better than Steele was when he was Pascals age.
