foxes21 Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Could see him signing some ex/current foxes players tbh Nugent, Moore, Lawrence, De Laet, Wasil Knockaert?
Guest Col city fan Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Could see him signing some ex/current foxes players tbh Nugent, Moore, Lawrence, De Laet, Wasil Knockaert? How much money have Derby got? People are making out he'll sign a whole new squad of ex City players. ..
Bettsj2 Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Possibly the worst club that he could have gone too. They dont really know what they want. They had a manager with a long term project in Clough that was doing well and they ditched him. That club does not know what it wants and Pearson is not a quick fix manager. I can see this going badly wrong (not through any fault of Nigels though!).
Countryfox Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Very good appointment for Derby. My favourite post bar none.
Countryfox Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Wonder how many on here are now derby fans. Not me. Rather rip me balls off with some old rusty pliers. (Well maybe not ... but you get the point).
Guest Manini Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 How much money have Derby got? People are making out he'll sign a whole new squad of ex City players. .. Isn't that Mel Morris bankrolling them? I don't think they're short of a bob or two
Guest FriendlyRam Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 How much money have Derby got? People are making out he'll sign a whole new squad of ex City players. .. We're not that rich, Mel Morris has got decent coin but its not a bottomless pit we're talking, in the Championship we're a shark but in the prem? we'd be struggling for top half in the money department. Knockeart would finish me off...

MC Prussian Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Pleased for him that he got a new job (only) twelve months after his dismissal. I can only assume he had that one-year break forced upon him. Wish Pearson all the best at Derby, why people can still be so bitter towards them is a mystery to me. They've bottled it for so many season in the Championship and care infinitely more about Forest, so why bother? I do hope they finally get promoted so we can have the first East Midlands PL derby in like... ages.
ealingfox Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Great appointment. I for one will be celebrating in the stands and singing One Nigel Pearson loud as poss when he brings them to KPS and turns us over at whatever point in the next 2 seasons. He deserves it.
theessexfox Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Love Nige hope he takes them up and Knocky plays at the KP again.
lifted*fox Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Good luck to a top guy - will always have the utmost respect for Nigel and what he did for this club. Can't say I'll be overly happy to see Derby starting to do well but I'm sure they will under Nigel and a small part of me wants to see him have further success - as long as it's never at our expense, I'm sure it won't be - Derby will always be an easy 6 points for us.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Makes me want Derby to fail even more nowThisHe can FOAD
BlueSi13 Posted 28 May 2016 Posted 28 May 2016 A slight annoyance that he's gone there but I hope he does fantastically well. I'll never forget what he did for this club.
Guest Col city fan Posted 28 May 2016 Posted 28 May 2016 This He can FOAD Good old Bob! I remember a time when we used to DESPISE Derby. Now it's all 'good luck to them cos Pearson has gone there'
FoxonMaui Posted 28 May 2016 Posted 28 May 2016 I bet we will all be sheepishly looking for Derby results now( sorry couldn't resist). We owe this guy a lot, simple. Having said that there is no way in hell we would have got anywhere near winning the League with him in charge. The owners and senior management made a brave and inspired decision in letting him go and getting Ranieri in. Let's wish him well, he could well be perfect for Derby. Hopefully he will get them promoted so we have a nailed on six points off them in 2017/18
Jimothy Posted 28 May 2016 Posted 28 May 2016 Pearson to Derby is like finding out an ex girlfriend, who you dumped for someone better but still actually quite liked, is going out with that kid at school you used to regularly beat the shit out of.
Dodgy Bob Posted 28 May 2016 Posted 28 May 2016 Great appointment. I for one will be celebrating in the stands and singing One Nigel Pearson loud as poss when he brings them to KPS and turns us over at whatever point in the next 2 seasons. He deserves it. So to be clear you're going to cheer for Derby when they beat us () and chant for their manager. Take a step back and tell us, are you still a Leicester fan?
ealingfox Posted 28 May 2016 Posted 28 May 2016 No mate im a Big Nige fan. Celebrated Ravanelli's goal in our end at Wembley like mad back in '97 and got a right pasting. Worth it tho.
SpacedX Posted 28 May 2016 Posted 28 May 2016 He'll do better for them than the recent few, probably finish play-offs due to the amount of quality there now then take them up with ease the following season, providing their chairman isn't some knee-jerky buffoon who'll chop if they're not promoted by christmas - which is likely to happen after what happened to Clement. Mel Morris dismissed Clement very much against his will, but had no choice. Not dissimilar to the NP situation in that it was not football related.

Fox92 Posted 28 May 2016 Posted 28 May 2016 Wonder how many on here are now derby fans. Everyone. Close the forum. Just because an old manager I like and respect has gone to another club we're all going to leave the club we've supported 10/20/30/40+ years to follow a former manager, right? If O'Neill turned around and went back to Forest I'd expect "good luck" comments, you can't take away what a successful manager has done for us.
Mark_w Posted 28 May 2016 Posted 28 May 2016 Wonder how many on here are now derby fans. They're my favourite lower league team.
stox259 Posted 28 May 2016 Posted 28 May 2016 Good luck to Nigel. I will always be grateful for his contribution to our football club. Not going to pretend otherwise if this was a year ago I'd have felt differently about it. However, winning the premier league makes all other football activities at other clubs fairly irrelevant to me now :-) Question. Do you think he even asked Walsh and Shakey to work with him?
