King Kevin Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Few random thoughts ,I watched the Newcastle game on holiday in Spain but thought the margins of defeat were quite narrow could easily have been a draw . What I did notice is the conversation going on between NP ,CP and the rest of the coaching staff, gut feeling only but thought too many chef's spoil the broth it just didn't look right . Also with no loan window this year seems a strange management decision to completely change the style with the business not completed by the end of the transfer window . Having said that NP was my choice based on the obvious ability of the current crop of players to get us over the line ,bumpy ride ahead I am afraid.

That's what makes being the owner such a difficult job, at the minute it's not one I'd necessarily choose Mel for! No but I find it quite ironic how all of a sudden there are a lot of people questioning the appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When does it end? Add to this the STUPID decision to go for a temporary manager, rather than permanent replacement who would have had time to sort things out.

Also who says we need to be spending millions? We're proven that doesn't necessarily work. NP got his scouting team in place not long before the window closed, let's hope they're doing their jobs and finding us some value for money.

Yes it's been a poor start, yes our lack of ability to score is worrying but why is the managers job being questioned on a weekly basis now, it's madness. Unless I'm mistaken this is the manager that was leading every fan poll for the job, now we have him let's give the bloke half a chance. No season as ever been won or lost in September. We do need stability, I'll say that. But I do have to add that I personally never wanted him and have still seen no reason why he's the best man for the job. It makes it very hard to get behind him in those circumstances. I do it, there's no use in changing things up now. But it's made harder for those of us for whom he wasn't the first choice.

I do it, there's no use in changing things up now. But it's made harder for those of us for whom he wasn't the first choice. Pearson wasn't my first choice either, in fact nobody was, every name mentioned did nothing for me. I wasn't against it, just wasn't shouting for him. I still feel abandoned by McClaren and true love never dies overnight. Takes a long time for a heart to heal. We do have Pearson now, he's our man, as you say stability is key, I'm not writing the season off but I will happily put promotion to one side so we can start again next season without having to scrap everything and start again. Not just the manager but coaching team as well. We've started the transitional period now, time to buckle up and enjoy the ride, no way this awful run will continue.

Gaspode Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I wonder why folk are so surprised with how things are turning out - we all cling to this idea that it was effectively Pearson's team that won the Premier League and hope he can do a similar job here - well don't forget that for a large chunk of his last season at Leicester, they were utterly and completely useless - they were nailed on for relegation until he somehow managed to instil some fight in them and they went on a great run that saved them. All that's happening at the iPro is that we're copying that model..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Seen quite a few posts pleading for patience, telling supporters to give Pearson the time to get it right as he will take Derby County to the Premier League. For those confident of this being the case... May I ask why? Why is Pearson the man to get us promoted? Is it because of what he did at Leicester? Is that all you're going on? Not what he did at Hull City? His scenario now at Derby is completely different. He doesn't have Steve Walsh, Ben Wrigglesworth or Craig Shakespeare by his side. His coaching staff is different, his playing squad is totally different. Would you be so confident backing Alex McLeish because of what he did at Birmingham City? Pearson inherited Schmeichel, Morgan, Drinkwater and Nugent while the likes of Vardy, Knockeart and Mahrez were identified by Walsh. Schlupp, Moore and King were youth players who came through the academy. So if you're arguement is Pearson is excellent in the transfer market, responsible for Leicester's squad... That's not exactly true is it? Why are you so confident Pearson is the right man? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
europia Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 For me, it's more of a hope than a rock solid belief. I just don't want to see yet another managerial change so soon after the McLaren - Clement - Wassall debacles. So I really hope Nigel Pearson does OK and we get some stability at the club.

simsdcfc Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I think in time things will click. It could be on saturday or it could be in 5 games or more. I think we will buy some players in jan and get rid aswell then we will have a great 2nd half of the season and just edge in the play offs. If pearson was sacked who would we get in as a replacement? Perhaps we could take pep off city or even ancellotti ? Dont think so somehow get real. This forum is so toxic and puts me in a mood looking at it. No wonder the players have no pride. We would be better playing behind closed doors. Keep up the good work pearson and co you will reap the rewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
