Capman Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Just now, pongo88 said: Maybe it’s Pearson who wants a short contract till the end of the season. That way he could assess the state of the club and the level of support he’s going to get. If he likes what he’s found he can sign a longer contract. Assuming the football improves he will be in a strong position as it would be difficult for SL not to keep him I agree, I can imagine Pearson thinking if he comes in, does well then at the end of the season he is in a hugely powerful position for a good contract and to press for the players he thinks he needs. If he takes a 2 year deal now his negotiating position in the summer on the players he wants is much reduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media days will be fun. Woe betide any journo giving him a banal question, he'll give him that withering look and fry him on the spot. Exactly what we need. Actually he has a very dry sense of humour, is a very intelligent insightful and engaging. But at work he’s the boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lives local (well Devon) Been there Done it Get him I've not put a bet on anything for 35 years! Last Thursday after managing to work out how to do it put £15 on Nigel Pearson at 16/1. Picked up something said on Football on Quest the previous Saturday but can't remember what as had a few.

petehinton Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 This has lansdown stamp on it doesn’t it surely. Said Friday they don’t want a short term fix. No doubt saw saturdays shower, followed up by the caretaker wanting to wash his hands of everything and Kalas basically in tears, must’ve kicked him into speeding up the process. There’ll be ‘Deano’ nickname culture with him. Players and media guys will be wary of him. Totally needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheltons Army Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Just been discussed on Talksport with Alex Crook a reliable reporter for them stating that Pearson has verbally agreed Apparently contacted Bournemouth who didn’t give him an interview Crook thinks Pearson a very good appointment and Bournemouth would have been better to have taken him Crook was talking to Darren Bent who said ‘One of the best managers I played for’ (At Derby) ‘ Straight down line ‘ ‘ Intimidating ‘ ‘Tells you what he wants , and not interested whether you buy into it or not ‘ ‘If you don’t do it what he asks you are getting it both barrels ‘ Bring it on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
