Manwell Pablo Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Can't see him getting them up next year and given Derbys current sacking policy he could well walk after that. They give him 2/3 seasons they might actually get somewhere
Tuna Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 We all love nigel for the job he did for us over 2 spells and I'd argue he is one of the most important manager's in our history. But his shortcomings and stubbornness were badly exposed in the premier league from his curt attitude to some journalists and I stress some to his tactical ineptitude. Unfortunately rightly or wrongly he gained a bad media profile due to these outbursts which may well have put of suitors in the premier league. He might well feel he should have had an opportunity in the premier league. Signing a 3 year deal suggests the agreement of a 3 year plan for promotion and I hope that he's given the time he needs to build a title winning side. There are some Pearson type players already there but I expect he'll be shipping out some of the overrated wastermen in the squad. I wish him well and it will be interesting to see him back on the touchline (or stand!) next season.
VLC86 Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Don't do this to me. Just have a cold shower and think of waking up next to Roy Hodgson, it will pass.
ROB-THE-BLUE Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Lloyd Dyer will be a a Derby player very soon then!

He couldn't handle the added nonsense that came with being a Premier League club and tactically he was found out at times. Derby should worry about that when they get here. Until then I don't think they should care about his antics with us. Also, when we got promoted our challengers were Burnley and QPR. Now for Pearson it's Newcastle and Villa. 2 bigger clubs with bigger resources and in Benitez the best manager in that division. It'll be much harder for him this time.
Webbo Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 I can't see Nige tolerating the chairman coming into the changing room and bollocking the players.
Mark_w Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 lacks a bit of class too going to our neighbours Yeah, it's not like we sacked him or anything.
GaelicFox Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 lacks a bit of class too going to our neighbours Wow , words fail me I can't see Nige tolerating the chairman coming into the changing room and bollocking the players. He would strangle him and get Wassa to batter the FECK out of him
GaelicFox Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Love a good FoxesTalk knee-jerk reaction. Love when posters forget to interpret the sarcasm
GaelicFox Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Is there a Thai massage parlour in Derby for his lad to Run ?
Corky Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Good appointment for them, good job for him. Having someone he knows who is already there (Phillips) and taking someone very popular (Powell) are advantages too.
Dodgy Bob Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 "It's very rare that you actually inherit a football club as a manager in a very positive position" - Nigel Pearson on Ranieri taking a Leicester side who finished 14th to the top of the premier league the next January. No doubting how much weight Pearson places on taking over a side doing well, then. Derby finished 5th last year. Money where your mouth is time, Nigel. Good luck to him, hope he does well, but not too well, with it being Derby and all. Big job for him getting promoted out of that league next season though, that's for sure.
baylisslcfc Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Love when posters forget to interpret the sarcasm Nothing really suggested sarcasm, but I'm more than happy to be proved wrong! Apologies to Ralph if so.
ashby_fox Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 He did a great job here and will be welcomed back anytime but I hope he fails miserably at Derby fvckin hate them.
Sharpe's Fox Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Good luck to super Nige at a decent outfit. Villa shouldn't have pissed him around so much.
MPH Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Hoping Agent Big Nige will sell their best players and get them relegated. But i do wish him every success. He's very likeable and i want him to do well De laet for 500k and Matty James season long loan maybe?
Lloydwasmylife Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 lacks a bit of class too going to our neighbours I hope this is a joke
Koke Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 I get the feeling Pearson will get sacked before Mourinho. Derby as a club seem a bit impatient.
Lcfc_lass10 Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Can see him taking them up next season. Anyone know the current odds?
Jaspa Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Interested to see how he does without Shakey & Walsh, obviously theres loads of different circumstances besides that and Derby have failure hard-grained into their DNA. Would also like to know the specifics on when his contract legally ran out here because there were murmurings mid-season when Villa were open that teams were after him but had a hard time because hes been on a kind of gardening leave and obviously not being able to take the dynamic duo with him. Will watch from afar, hope it goes tits up and Nige comes off well with some money in his pocket. F off Derby
Fox92 Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 He'll get rid of their overpaid shite (ie Johnson and Ince), turn them around and get them promoted. Derby have the resources, they are set up well.
EGBFitness Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Wonder if NP was holding out for the Newcastle job? Seems strange only few days ago Rafa said he was staying and now NP confirmed at Derby. Hell do a decent job there, glad he has gone there rather than Villa
Matt Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Can see him taking them up next season. Anyone know the current odds? 12/1. (They are the best odds you can get at the moment with SkyBet according to Oddschecker) I'll wait a few weeks but think i'll be having some on it.
