Nigel Pearson

Meeting withSteve Bruce Sunday

It would be very strange if Mel were to appoint Pearson who obviously is his own man and unlikely to let Mel anywhere near team matters. Something not quite right here although I am not doubting the knowledge source of SDSR. I think there are a few twists & turns and I hope that there is a quality lined up. For me the standard of suggested candidates is underwhelming to say the least.

But isn't that what we need, regardless of what Mel said originally?

The club needs an experienced manager, supported financially with no interference.

Pearson seems ok to me...wouldn't mind warburton or my long shot of Martin o Neil.

One thing I have to disagree with is that Mel going into the changing room and being "hands on" means he won't want a strong manager. I actually think it's to the contrary. Surely if he actually trusts the manager to do the job he'd be able to let them get on with it?

Pearson all the way

The guy is sixpence short of a ten bob note.

Mad as a hatter

Just what we need in the DCFC circus

Because the media always give a fair reflection of a persons character

He did say he didn't want an experienced manager telling him how to run Iit all ......

Pearson is experienced ....and stands no nonsense.

[woolwhacker]

Did he? Can't remember that?

The only manager who will go along with the mythical 'Derby Way' is either a desperate failure or a novice (or both). Derby is an attractive proposition for many managers but is Mel??

The wording may be wrong...but yes he did,
