But on the other side of the argument let’s say he’s worth 5m and it pushes them to 8m? I see your point though and fair enough, I won’t send my CV over

To make sure we get enough dough if we sell

Totally, it's been dragged out for so long.

Sure, but I think the picture and problem is bigger than that. We're in the champ because of SL which I see as a good and a bad thing, we have potential but never reach it but we're also afloat in the champ.

I don't. Took the job and it would be his fault to not understand what he's in for. Even signed the contract extension so he absolutely knew his work was cut out for him.

I hope we put on a release clause. Reckon he's gonna play in the prem someday. Feels like it's been aaaaages since we've had a right back with high potential.

Yeah sure he was given a short amount of time, it does tell a story. Maybe they didn't buy into his long project plan, but then you have to ask why hire him? And why did NP take the job? The question I'm wondering is if those clubs failed NP or NP failed at those clubs? I think the Derby job can be negated from that list because he left on mutual consent over the drones at training camps. And anyway you're making a strawman argument, so we're special because we're going to give him longer? 8 months already and cant sort out the home form. Maybe we're just the biggest fools out of those clubs. I just want to go the gate again with high hopes of a fun game.

I don’t feel like the owners care what we think as much as we think, DH is an example of that IMO. I agree he is the “biggest” name we could pull out of the hat, but the best for us? Idk anymore. I would say “time will tell” but looking back it’s sorta telling us something. I was completely sold on the NP project but similar to the OP I’m not as confidence as I was!

I suppose they don’t need a really good record, on the rise is enough. If it was just a good record appointment then yes NP was as good as it gets for us.

He couldn’t do that at the past 3 clubs so why are we any special/different ??

I’d would really like to believe this, I’ve hated not liking the managers at our club for a while and want Pearson to kick on well. But idk

Knowing his recent record, why do you still think he’s the best person for the job? Surely it’s best to catch someone on the rise not their fall? People are a bit touchy on here at the moment, so my questions come in peace as I’m just curious

Still not a fan of the badge in the middle, hope that goes next year

At best I can see him going to a desperate lower champ team sometime around Jan or after. If not then L1! I remember when he signed perm and I thought he was one of the last pieces of the jigsaw

I always found there was a group of people ready to die on a hill defending him on here for some reason. I think they've bought into what managers have said in how good he is in training or whatever. His 17/18 season was the only one I can remember feeling positive about him being on the teamsheet, not far off from being 5 years ago... Anyway, watch him score now..

He’ll score now

Maybe Bakinson off for Wells? We're getting the ball in the area loads just nothing much is really coming from it.

Not much quality from either team so far tbh, a few poor passes. I think this game may end 0-1 to somone or 0-0. I think KP should come on when the times right, probably for Bakinson.

I agree, plenty of the goals we’ve conceded have looked easy and not very hard worked. Wouldn’t surprise me if we’ve had our post saved us more times than any other team this season so far.

Hard to play that counter attacking game now when you're 0-1 down at home..

I think if he didnt get the ball he would've been. He's got lucky twice ?

Brilliant first half. Could've done better in some crucial postions but we've created a fair bit which is great. Chalobah is lucky as he should've had a second yellow. If we keep playing like that I think we'll win.

That looks like the best form we've had in a long long time

I swear I've seen they did that at one point and have now stopped
