One could say that Mel has listened and done what was asked - brought in a manager with a track record of promotion and of keeping a team in the prem. Restored the post of manager from head Coach and got an assistant who many on here would have been happy as a managerial appointment.


I'd say its not too shabby an appointment and we will see what happens!

Morris seems to have made a massive u turn... Not a bad thing that he has acknowledge what a major mess HE made of last season. Possibly thrown 100 mill away but hay ho he is a businessman who knows now he was out of his depth in a football environment.

I really like the Powell connection - I wasn't keen on McClaren until I heard of his backroom team, that one tipped it for me. And that would have worked out better if the **** hadn't got greedy for Newcastle.

Powell worked with Pearson at Leicester, they know each other and now he has management experience - I think Chris has done okay in management, never had easy situations to deal with, I thought he was hard done to at Charlton but Huddersfield didn't work out for him. But he knows Pearson and knows Derby. Good appointment.
