I'm surprised at the mentions for Nigel Pearson, he's always struck me as a right weirdo.

I'm surprised at the mentions for Nigel Pearson, he's always struck me as a right weirdo.
What I find strange is why VT has always criticised the salary that Malky was on and made public that Slade is on a much lower salary.
Does it make much sense to appoint a man who is THE most important person at the club on a salary which is a relative pittance?
Surely you are better off getting the managerial position right as that is where you are likely to make money through possible promotion and good acquisitions.
Money doesn't guarantee the right person will be found but I think we've proved "if you pay peanuts you get monkeys"
Velikonja was on more than Malky ffs
I dont think Tan would go for Perason. I think he will be considered racist by association due to his son's actions last year.
There's been some very good names metioned so far. It would be Bellers for me. He would definitely breathe fire back into the club, and is not afraid to tell players if they are,t pulling their wait. But we would need a go-between to handle Tan. Slade could fit that roll. He could keep Tan happy, and let Bellers handle the playing side.
Is Bellamy really suited to management?

People seem to be assuming that any new manager will have ample funds provided for a good crack at promotion.
I doubt this will be the case, I think it is at least another season of cost reduction, which makes me think Slade will stay.
Not sure how much you think we will be getting for those 2, but both derby and Middlesbrough have spent in excess of 20 m this season strengthening already very good sides and they could both miss out on promotion.
I'd hazard a guess we'd get around 8 million for the pair.
I honestly don't understand why cost cutting has to mean we have to keep Slade.
I think you can cut costs in a far more imaginative way than Slade has done.
I'm not one who demands promotion next season, and I'd love to see us build something in a more steady way as long as we could all see some proper progress. In a similar way that Man City have done behind the scenes without their outlay on players.
There is no doubt in my mind that Slade is not the man with the vision to implement this and if we are going to go forward and not just tread water then he needs to be replaced.
The club will stand still at best with Slade still as manager.
For the sake of the club and its supporters we need a change; we can't put up with that sort of football again can we? We just don't deserve it and for those people do say only change if you know is going to come in, well in my view that is shortsighted & narrowminded.
any football club worth it's salt should know how to source a decent enough manager in this day and age
Can I remind everyone we are under a Transfer Embargo? I've not seen any news of it being lifted any time soon.
Of all the many mistakes OGS made, the biggest one for me was pushing Mark Hudson out of the club. Very jealous of Huddersfield priming him to be a coach there. Wish he was doing that here.
A friend of mine who lives in Lincolnshire has posted on the blog that this bloke

has got a very big future in management.
I'm embarrassed to say that I'd not heard of him until I looked him up, but he's got part time Braintree into the Conference Play Offs while utilising an attractive brand of football - someone has pointed out that he's another PE teacher mind :hehe:.
