Bosshogg Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I like Powell always have, however we'll only find out what he's like as a manager if we give him a go. He can't be worse than Pearson and at least last night the players looked like they were playing for him. There are trickier games ahead but there would be no harm in seeing how it goes for a few games? After 4 games or so we may be waving him goodbye or clamouring for him to stay on permanently.

I agree that Powell couldn't possibly do worse than Pearson at the moment. BUT when the season is mid way through and the pressure is mounting. I don't think Powell could do a job for us. He did fairly well at Huddersfield, had an average time at Charlton. But he has never really been a promotion chasing manager. Just don't feel he would be able to get us to that end of the table. He defiantly could stop us from being relegated lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average time at Charlton? I can only assume you mean in this league - he got them promoted from League 1 with 101 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about his time in this league, If we were relegated and needed someone to bring us up then he would be my man of course lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powell's Charlton team were not helped or backed by the board at all, not sure it's fair to judge him there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Got Charlton to within striking distance of the play offs, until the Belgians came in and started signing boat loads of Liege players. Still feeling the effects now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Give him the job. (altho the interview was a bit OTT in praise of Pearson, and that might cost him). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powell like Wasall just needs time in a job. He was harshly sacked at both huddersfield and charlton whilst doing a good job. If he got us to mid table or bottom half, given where we are now, that equates to play off form, and would no doubt carry it on given a full season or 2. Managers need time to build if you ask me.

Premier ram Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Wouldnt it be great if an honest , genuine , good professional , nice all round guy like Chris Powell succeeds at the Rams in amongst all the murky goings on in football at the moment . Best of luck Chris you have my full support and if the powers that be at DCFC decide you are the man for the job , lets hope all the players and fans at our club support you in your quest to get the Rams back in the top flight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 'Judge a man by the company he keeps ' springs to mind. Powell comes across as such a nice guy, and I'm sure he is, but is and has been fulsome in his praise of Nigel Pearson from the off. Maybe we had the right guy all along, or is Powell's judgement wrong? If it is wrong, maybe he's not the best candidate to lead us going forward?

R.D Plenty of rams fans like Powell because he did good things in the past for us. C.P likes Pearson because he did good things for him in the past. Powell's judgement clouded or not is influenced by Pearson encouraging him into coaching, think it's as simple as that mate. Have to like the Powell myself because he clearly likes our club, doesn't mean he's a great manager but he's more tested than Wassall at championship level and he's here now. I'd be prepared to give him a try as Tuesday's performance convinced me worst case scenario of going down looks unlikely and who knows he could suddenly get us to gel with the new found 4-3-3, albeit against a poor team. Either way there are worse options than C.P and I don't want another expensive mistake. Hope Mel gives him a fair crack myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagerbob Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Hes a solid Championship manager with plenty of experience in dealing with the media. Which, it seems to most fans is important. How they react to defeats, game throwing away, certain questions etc always seems to go under the microscope. Especially when i consider how both Wassall and Pearson were treated by fans. The most important thing is, he buys Mel time aswell. We dont need to rush into getting the best candidate only for him to fail again, Giving CP the job at least until the end of the season will mean stability and hopefully wont be as naieve as Wassall was due to his experience.

Herein lies the problem I suspect. There really is no pleasing some folk. We could have someone with Pep Guardilola's nous and Salma Hayeks tits and folk would still be moaning. Let's wait 5 mins before the sharp knives come out for crissakes. I despair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
