Exactly. Well said.

Can’t see them going for an older manager like Smith.

They wanted him short term and decided to extended which they probably regretted.

- people saying they will stop following the club

If this happened I would be furious.

Perfect example.

What a valuable insight deserving of a new thread.

Let’s be honest he was never really wanted in the first place.

Wouldn’t surprise me.

Pathetic over-reaction by some on here.

Always get behind the team.

The fact it has leaked for weeks says that they have something planned- in the past they would always not do any donkey world while someone employed….

Beale for me. Ticks all the boxes.

Huge appointment coming up. My guess Beale.

Please not Rowett.

Quite possibly, if they have someone lined up and had a plan I would be supportive of the mood, I doubt they have, I feel very sad

They must have someone lined up

Echo this thank you Nigel

Really sad day - did a good job in challenging circumstances, without really making real clear progress on the pitch….it was nice to have a proven manager and did such a good job yet at the same time I understand why they have moved on. A real class bloke though so thank you Nigel.

Which comments have I posted that are negative?

One of the higher wage budgets, non existent cash to spend on players.

Pearson struggled Warne struggling….difference is Warne has 0 cash to spend where as NP spent £18 million in the one summer he had there.

Really interesting answer, you go into depth trying to justify his performance, at Watford understandable, at Derby less so. His failure there isn’t a mystery, he failed to get the best of, what was, one of the best squads in the league.

People always pick and choose performance based on their views and whether they like the manager or not. Interesting, what were his stats at Derby?

Sheff Wed at home is the type of game we may struggle with, no doubt they will be physical and sit in behind, we are much the better team though. Maybe it will be similar to the LJ V Rotherham game when Djuric scored that late header to save the managers skin. Either way Pearson has done a far superior job to that if Johnson.
