Babylon Posted 15 July 2013 Share Posted 15 July 2013 Since when are you allowed one of those on here?! (Especially when it's not the same opinion as the majority) Yeah I know, you always get people shouting people down on here when people blame refs for bad decisions/shit results.

Shoe Seller Posted 17 July 2013 Share Posted 17 July 2013 Pearson is the best manager we have had at this club in years. Fact. We've let him go once and we must never make that mistake again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonFox Posted 17 July 2013 Share Posted 17 July 2013 I think it's pretty obvious from interviews that Nigel also regards the "business" part of his job important too. I expect he is given a budget, or at the minimum constraints and then works within them. Much like a lot of us do everyday in our jobs. Comparing to Sven's reign is very different. I think he just went out and said "I want player X", told them he could bring them in and to just give him the money to do it. I really believe that he took advantage...wait, let me rephrase that, made the most, out of his situation and was told he could do what he liked and bring in who he liked. I think the Thais and KP have learnt from this and hence went back to Nigel. Remember, some of the clubs administration/board/management were still there and I'm sure they heard about how Nigel was. Times under Sven were exciting (like Martin Allen on steroids) but they were unsustainable. Once results and promotion were no longer on the table, the experiment was ended. Nigel, I'm sure has been given a tight leash with regards to spend and also with FFP, he has to be even more cost conscious (although I believe he would always be prudent, even without it - see previous tenure/time at Hull). I think he does deserve credit for what he's done but also within the limits he is under. Is it exciting in terms of transfers? No. True.Shows just how very fooking average we have been for over a decade. To respond to Col's post above. Yes, we have been average but in his time here, we've got to the playoffs twice and won a division once. Not bad for three full seasons. Do I want better? Yes.

Not bad for three full seasons. Do I want better? Yes. We all do but to be fair on NP. He came in we had no money hgot us up still no money and to the play off's. The money came and was spent then he returns and we manage the play off's again. Is there really any better out there for the money I'm not so sure.

dynamark Posted 17 July 2013 Share Posted 17 July 2013 Short memories how many points did we manage from how many games at the end of last season.A goldfish would have done better He is a lucky boy to still be here FACT.Lets pray for a decent start and some imagination and reaction during the game.

I like what he's done and hope we CONTINUE to improve with the same team. Winning Division 3 doesn't count - we should never have even been there. It's the year that never was as far as I'm concerned. Well we were there,we won the league and we almost achieved back to back promotions on the momentum under NP.

Shoe Seller Posted 18 July 2013 Share Posted 18 July 2013 I was reading MATCH the other day and it turns out that Pearson once saved CARLISLE from relegation on the last day. What a hero. A goalkeeper scored. Jimmy Glass ( I think he's a gangster now). Anyway, Pearson masterminded that by picking the team and telling them to go out there and do their best. MATCH reckon he's one of the top managers in our division (this was about last season, but I assume it still stands). He's certainly better than any manager at Port Vale in recent times. I was a big fan of the Vale until I realised that a) there is no such place as Port Vale, so its effectively a sham and b) Robbie Williams supports them. Anyway, if Pearson goes, its back to Port Vale for me. Anyone who doesn't love Pearson is either stupid, disloyal or just a Forest fan. FACT.

bob gregory Posted 18 July 2013 Share Posted 18 July 2013 Well said Pearson needs to deliver this season, lets not forget he himself is on £1m a year and is probs second top earner at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 18 July 2013 Share Posted 18 July 2013 Well said I would suspect that Pearson is one of the best paid managers in the division? If we want value for money from the players, it is fair to seek that from the boss too. Last season, I wouldn't be surprised if he was the best paid manager.

You talk about 'short memories' and then go on to talk about the last quarter of the season, ignoring the other three quarters where we were in the playoffs constantly, playing good football and challenging for the top two. Are you sure you're not the one with the short memory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Fox Posted 18 July 2013 Share Posted 18 July 2013 I will praise NP if he delivers us promotion and tbh he has this season to get it right otherwise I doubt the Thais will offer him a new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
