Mr Hankey Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Great news, slightly let down by the fact Dumb & Dumber are going to remain as assistants, but it doesnt mean he wont get an additional 2 or 3 of his own staff in to slowly make them redundant as his time here progresses.

!james Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 With my optimistic hat on I'm hoping that it means Simpson and Downing will stay on until the end of season if the appointment is made tonight/before Saturday. Then as soon as the season ends, we can bring in Nige's men! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Great news about Nige, if confirmed. Downing and Simpson staying - that's unexpected and a bit odd, hopefully only here until replacements are in situ because they seem to have added very little, if anything at all.

S_C Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Would have liked to have seen Simpson/Downing move on, surprised they haven’t, but I’m going to rationalise my way out by concluding that if Pearson didn’t think they were up to it, he wouldn’t have allowed it as a term. So at best he’s asked for them to stay, at worst he’s happy with them staying. ‘Remain on his staff’ is pretty loose terminology. Still think he’ll look to bring in his own assistant(s).

Redrascal2 Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Brilliant news if confirmed. But has been tempered again if confirmed that Downing and Simpson are staying. That is a real disappointment and unless Pearson wanted them to stay is hindering the new exciting Pearson era already by having to carry these two along with him.

Must admit I had a feeling one of them (my guess was Simpson) was going to be sticking around if Pearson got the job. Don’t think we could tempt Shakespeare away from Villa, Powell (who worked with him at Derby) is currently employed by Spurs, but wasn’t expecting both to stay on. Oh well.

BetterRedthanBlue Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Great news if true. PS and KD staying is interesting because I imagine Nige probably said he was happy to work with them and tbf from what I've seen from Simpson in interviews I'm ok with it. I imagine Walsh and Rennie may come in as DoF and Head Physio along with a couple of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 I suspect there's been some compromise on staffing, i.e Pearson can bring people in but he can't replace everybody, and a DoF, medical staff are more of a pressing issue than coaches.

A good mate is a Charlton fan and rates him highly. Likely he'll be out of Spurs in a few weeks when they appoint a new Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezo Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 We should really start by replacing what we don't have before we start replacing what we do have. I'm OK with Downing and Simpson staying on if NP has said he would like them to stay (which I assume he has). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 If Simpson and Downing have contracts and we can't get exactly who we want perhaps it's best to pay them to coach rather than waste money. Sorting the overall structure is of far greater importance. Recruitment, Analysis, S & C, medical all need sorting as a priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Perhaps with everyone else going to Ipswich Steve/Nige is hoping that Simpson and Downing are the next ones to go, creating a bit more compensation. On a serious note, how about this scenario. Pearson may be undecided on them. End of the day, this bunch of players couldn't be arsed, so it may not be a true reflection of the pair. Steve may also have said to Nige "look Nige, we can't afford to bring in Steve Walsh, a new medical team, and get rid of those two on top of the players we need. How about we get you Walsh, a decent medical team, and you keep those two on for now. Then in 3 months time if they really are crap, we'll stitch Ashton up and tell them he can take them FOC." Things may also happen over the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
