Smells shady to me) Kerrouche £500k Hendricks £400k And lets not forget Hirst... Watford: Pussetto £8m Joao Pedro £4m Probably Pozzo signings so can't really judge. I'd say his signings have been a mixed bag, you can't really say he has an eye for a player either as a lot of the success stories were from a scouting network already in place. But hey ho.

Why do managers get bashed when signings are crap and scouts get praise when they are good? Same at s6 depending what argument people put forward it’s the manager or the chairman who makes the decision 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joao Pedro was at Watford before I think. Just look at the signings he made at Leicester - Vardy, Mahrez, Morgan, Drinkwater & Simpson won the Prem. Mahrez sold on for mega money. Think it's a pretty decent record tbf. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what he does have an eye for is what a team needs - it's strengths, weaknesses, organisation and make up. If you could combine that with good scouting / recruitment you have a potent combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG D Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 If we’d struggled from day 1 I may have Had a bit of sympathy for Monk. Fact is we were 3rd at Christmas above Brentford and Fulham so things must have been ok. What happened? Apart from outing the wrong’uns and telling players they wouldn’t be getting new contracts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeit Pearson has been doing the job for longer. But if you were to back one of them to make you successful I think most would opt for Pearson (and not just Owls fans) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Some are saying Pearson is as mad as a box of frogs, which is maybe true. But Big Ron wasn’t exactly Mr Boring, and Sir Alex once kicked a boot that hit his star player in the face. Bielsa spied at opponents training grounds and Mourinho had the biggest ego on the planet. I’d say managers with a “personality” often tend to get players to play for them even if they are “mad”. So I don’t have a problem with Pearson being unpredictable 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a chat and asked him about his managerial ambitions. He confirmed that he definitely wants to be a manager again but he’s loving the break spending time with his family. He said he’s fortunate because he’s not desperate to find work...so he can afford to be fussy and wait for the right club. Radio Sheffield asked him directly could he ever be a future SW manager. He said it’s very unlikely....he explained that he still lives in the area...him and his family are very settled and love living in Sheffield. He said he still has a strong affinity with the club and bumps into Wednesday fans all the time....receiving kind words. He said he wants to keep it that way and loves the freedom that he can go our socialising with family and forget about football pressures. He said privacy and freedom to leave his home without hassle to him or his family is really important to him So he’s not likely to ever work for any club in the area he lives. Then he joked that one he might move house. The way to sell it to DC is to point out that NP and his assistant CS have that connection with Wednesday a bit like Wilder...that should do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughdowd Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Pearson worked under Thai owners at Leicester.......The very least chansiri should do is at least ask Pearson if he’s interested.... You don’t ask ...You don’t get !!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hk_owl Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Pearson and Bullen would be a dream team for me. Both captains, both raised trophies wearing the blue and white stripes. I’d even go as far as getting Palmer back from China as the fitness coach... HMSPTL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) Of course we don’t yet have an availability here, but if we did, and we remain a championship club, then Pearson should be a target. Going on who’s available in this country, him and Hughton are the stand out candidates. For that reason alone, they will probably be less achievable targets than the rest. Indeed Hughton is already being linked with Watford. The Watford job, for a lot of reasons, might actually be a good fit for Hughton, if he can manage the sort of longevity Dyche was afforded. For similar reasons, Wednesday could possibly be a similarly good fit for us. Edited July 21, 2020 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
