ealingfox Posted 26 August 2016 Share Posted 26 August 2016 Shades of us in 11/12 after he came back about them, both tonight and in the season so far. It will take time for him to change them the place theyre in, as it was with us. Surprised they haven't done more business though, wonder what side thats coming from. James on loan would be good for them and us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
separator Posted 26 August 2016 Share Posted 26 August 2016 really hope Nige gets it together there... even if it is Direby. Got a lot of time for him, Leicester legend, we wouldn't be in the Prem without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same sort of situation he took over from us the 2nd time. Exactly what I said. I get the impression that Derby fans' expectations are even more delusional than when he came back here. They've got to accept they had the money and blew it. They threw millions at average to good Championship players. Pearson always has been and always will be a long-term builder and not an impact manager. They'll be about 8th I'd imagine (as I can't see them continuing to be this bad, one goal in five games ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 26 August 2016 Share Posted 26 August 2016 We were a mess when he'd taken over from us, though - Derby really aren't to anywhere near the same extent. They only just missed out on a play-off final and have kept pretty much every single (if not every single) player from last term. They've got a ready made squad to challenge right now. I love Nige and really want him to do well there (I still think he will) but it's a shit start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a really good team, had just fallen short in the playoffs to the eventual playoff winners. Had a 433 system and played different players, it was mostly successful too. Theyre now (and its very early days) looking like a team thats a lot worse than last season, with basically the same players. Pearson probably will get it right, but finishing 8th would be quite a move backwards for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They spent over £20mil last season and they've got very little to show for it. I agree that they do look appalling. Something clearly isn't right there.

Steve_Walsh5 Posted 28 August 2016 Share Posted 28 August 2016 Jonathan Kodija linked to Derby for £14 million. Yeah I've never heard of him either. Very unlike Nigel this spending so much money on individual players. Struggling without Steve Walsh finding unearthed talent from teams reserves?

Corky Posted 28 August 2016 Share Posted 28 August 2016 He's a Bristol City striker. They are going for broke it seems but I don't think it will work. £14 million puts enormous pressure on the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 28 August 2016 Author Share Posted 28 August 2016 Makes me wonder if it is Nige fully backing those. We all know what he's like. Derby have spent a lot of money under McLaren, Clement and now Pearson. Clough, on the other hand, was building a squad up there. Still think all those managers were unfairly sacked and Pearson will probably go the same way unless he has them top 6 this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox92 Posted 28 August 2016 Author Share Posted 28 August 2016 Burke has gone to Red Bull Leipzig for around £15mill.

Guest Mee-9 Posted 28 August 2016 Share Posted 28 August 2016 FOREST SELLING THEIR BEST PLAYER TO LEIPZIP WHEN BAYERN WERE INTERESTED HAHAHA Have you seen his statement? It's pretty much him saying, "I didnt really want to leave my hometown club, the club I love so much with all my heart, but the owners now have 15m to bring in QUALITY players."

If their current performances continue im sorry to say he will be fairly sacked, because he is curently taking a talented squad and making them worse. Its a team that was within a whisker or a Wembley playoff final. Should be doing much better. There is no excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hide when the big games come and don't show when it counts. Given time pearson will bring in players to change that. Sometimes you have to take one step back to take two steps forward.
