Nigel Pearson - New Rams Boss

[whitelion]

Just announced on Five Live

 

[James Bond's body double]

Think he will do well, Chris Powell lined up as assistant.

 

[Ernest]

Big TROUBLE for us as he will WHIP them into shape and they will be top 2 contenders for sure

 

[martin tyler]

He will do ok there. Most sensible appointment by them in recent times although that is not saying a lot. There biggest problem I think must be massively overrated players on big salaries.

 

[brightn'ove]

It took him a few years to get going at Leicester, let's hope it takes a few at derby.

 

[WhingForPresident]

YER AN OSTRICH M8

 

[Mo Gosfield]

You can see a 10-12 point improvement over last season and that will put them pretty close to top two.

 

[BensGrandad]

He will be a good appointment from them. Has Harry left as a consultant?

Just build the side around Will Hughes.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

More FFP rules to be broken then. Derby are good at that, so is Pearson.

Just build the side around Will Hughes.

Newcastle after him

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

He was bound to end up somewhere sooner or later. It's a good appointment and he's bound to backed heavily in the transfer market. Next year's championship is getting stronger and stronger. It's going to be one hell of a competition.

 

[Justice]

Good we have had quite a few wins against Pearson's sides.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Good appointments for them.

I wonder if Powell is the contingency in case Pearson hacks everyone off.

 

[worthingseagull123]

Good manager

 

[BensGrandad]

Good appointments for them.

Both ex Leicester but were they there together as a management team but I like Chris Powell and think he is a good manager/coach Charlton could have done worse than take him back as they did Jose Riga.

 

[joeinbrighton]

Pearson's a decent manager at Championship level, although I do think he is a tad overrated and something of a loose cannon.

People will point to what Leicester have done this past season and say what a big part Pearson played in getting them there. Of course he contributed, but given what Leicester have achieved this past season and at the end of the previous season where they stayed up from an improbable position, you have to wonder how a team that obviously had good players all along managed to get themselves so badly marooned in the relegation zone in the first place. I don't think that reflects too well on Pearson.

 

[el punal]

It took him a few years to get going at Leicester, let's hope it takes a few at derby.

Let's hope he takes them on a pre-season tour of Thailand, that should reduce the numbers in the playing squad.

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

Good appointments for them.

I wonder if Powell is the contingency in case Pearson hacks everyone off.

It looks like the classic good/bad combination, Powell for the arm round the shoulder and Pearson for the sheer terror.

 

[lizard]

Good appointment, expect them to be challenging with us next season.
