Will Pearson be sacked??? (Breaking news: now suspended)

[Derbyshire Seagull]

Funniest thing I heard the Radio Derby phone in. One caller said they should take the Ram off the shirt and replace it with a headless chicken

The call 30 minutes in is a good one too....

Pearson does bring a lot of it on himself as a personality. Even before that infamous filmed outburst at a journalist there have been plenty of charmless and unpleasant reactions to very reasonable questions.

A very good Derby team is finally starting to break up, losing Hendrick and Martin was a blow, others may follow. They had their chance(s), really should have gone up when they lost to QPR at Wembley - they deserved it, but if your team breaks up the chance may not come round again.

I am sure there are a few Brighton fans hoping like hell that isn't what will happen to us after 3 play-offs in 4 years without even a Wembley trip to show for it. So far we have proved able to regenerate, which is testament to the board's ambition.

Guffaw! BBC radio Derby binfest!

 

[Blues Rock DJ]

last I heard publicly from Derby was that they didn't want promotion......so relegation it is then ?

A lot of anger being thrown at their super rich chairman Mel Morris. Interfering to much, throwing money around but no real plan or strategy.

The problem is they do have the quality , its just getting the performances and results out of them

I'll just remind everyone that when Leicester played us at the Amex under Pearson he dropped Knockaert and played. Hammond

This might have been the case and clearly no Plan B yet this season but why Pearson can't make some some Plans from his ludicrously expensive attacking shopping basket of : Johnny Russell, James Wilson, Darren Bent, Nick Blackman, Weimann, *and* Vydra is a pleasure to watch. (and a fair few wingers too)

They have yet another attacker on trial at the moment - Peter Skapetis, 21 year old released by Stoke after 2 years out with knee injuries.

And Sol Bamba....

As mystifying as starting without Will Hughes against us 1st game of the season

Pearson gone? Not in charge for tonights game - Powell taking charge.

Some twitter rumours from earlier suggested that Pearson had a massive fallout with Mel (owner) - so looks like those rumours were true!

Shame. They might get a decent manager now.

"Derby County say that manager Nigel Pearson will not be taking charge of tonight's Championship game at Cardiff City "at the request of the club"."

Punch-Up anyone ?

 

[BensGrandad]

They have a ready made competent replacement in charge in the form of Chris Powell.

 

[Mackenzie]

Bad news for Cardiff I suspect!

Skapetis is currently on trial with us. Came on as a late sub for the DS at West Ham last night.
