cidered abroad Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Not one to kick someone when they're down but he hasn't had much success as a club manager. If Florest slide any more they'll be in League One next season which makes it imperative that we go up at the end of this season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Lets hope when we lose a game we don't go on a run like they have! Yes, their season is going south very quickly, from unbeaten after 11 to getting 1 point in the last 15 or something. They are doing a Tranmere!

Fordy62 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 My in laws are Florests. Even when they were top they were playing poorly. He'll be getting the chop by the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezgimed Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 An atrocious manager. Look at his record with the U21s, he should have won a tournament for sure with that squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours are not Slightly different but I spend quite a lot of time in Holland for work and it's really not that different to here and is tiny in comparison. How come for decades have they produced much better footballers than us??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderbeans Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 He's been blessed with owners who can buy good players but he cannot make them into a team unlike our cotts. With a lesser team, Pearce would have crashed and burned by now me thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antlers Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 And did they win ? i should have stated they didn't win, from what i recall they kept lumping long balls to him and he didn't win too many headers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoldenBall Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 He's going through a sticky patch, like every manager will, and like SC will eventually. Harsh to judge him yet but from a Notts Forest point of view concerning they're getting turned over by average teams in the championship. Heard he went 5 at the back against Brentford, at home..

spudski Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I've come to the conclusion, that being a good manager depends on time and circumstance at a Club, and whether it fits with the managers style and what turmoil, or not, is going behind the scenes. There are so many managers that do good jobs at one Club then 'fail' miserably elsewhere...it doesn't mean they are a bad manager though. Just depends on the 'fit' and timing. Examples... Moyes at Everton...then Man Utd. VG at Utd...previously good elsewhere. Even are own SC...who would have thought from his previous record he would be doing what he is here now. GJ with us...now look at Yeovil. Bournemouth doing what GJ did with us...it's swings and roundabouts. It's definitely a lottery... As for Pearce...I'm not a fan of bringing old players back as managers....unless they were only at the club a short period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some quality players in that Italian line-up - Verratti, Insigne, Borini, Immobile... all very talented. England had Connor Wickham and Marvin Sordell up front... Can't argue about the defeats to Israel and Norway though! Sad to say, but I agree with most of the posters - he's a poor manager and he won't last long at Forest.

Fair point, but we had a pretty solid defense and some Prem regulars in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockleazeRed Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 The only real thing I have to go on, is that the coach for when I did my FA coaching badges, did his UEFA A with him, and said that he was really very ordinary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Pearce...I'm not a fan of bringing old players back as managers....unless they were only at the club a short period of time. I couldn't agree more. It's ,imo, just a case of right time/right place. Football is littered with examples of Managers who are world beaters at one club and move on to be abject failures at another. BCFC had had so many poor managers that eventually with SL's continued backing- someone was going to come good . I don't believe for one second that SC would have made such a success elsewhere which is primarily why he was just part of HR's coaching staff and effectively out of a job. I think it's easier with footballers in that there are less variables. When SC was appointed I was neither pleased nor disappointed because I always felt that eventually SL would ( with the planets correctly aligned) pick a winner and this would always be more chance and circumstance than shrewd selection. SC has done brilliantly and is probably smart enough to know when he's got the best job he's ever likely to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I met Pearce at Frome Cheese and Grain during a Damned gig and can say he is a friendly and down-to-earth character. As a manager however I don't think he's ever cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
