Would You Trust Recruitment With Summer 2020?

[zicorice]

I am not really interested in Jack Hunt to be honest.

I am more interested in why some people think Pearce would make a better job of recruitment than Modesto and Anigo.

So far I see no evidence.

let's pretend successful football clubs are really about making money, signing players who are worth something, ie an assett or developing young players into .. financial assetts 

for most of the last 25 years Nottingham Forest have forgotten that profit, acquiring assetts, developing players into valuable assetts is what brings success, ultimately a combination of a manager/recruitment and an intelligent ambitious owner who reinvests and then some.

who is Nottingham Forests most valuable assett?  A Modesto and Anigo signing?  Does the owner actually trust them to spend money anymore since Carvalho?  

Ironic that potentially, or maybe certainly based on PL demand, Matty Cash, a Stuart Pearce signing in October 2014 is the biggest financial assett at this moment in time.  

Who the f**k is Hutchinson anyway?

PSS I don't want to pretend anything. I prefer to stick with facts.

What has Carvalho got to do with Modesto and Anigo? Nothing. He was a Mendes signing.

Yes the owner does trust them with money and the owner will only surround himself with people who he knows well and who he trusts which is why Stuart Pearce will never work for Marinakis.

Do you honestly think that Matty Cash was a Pearce signing? He was an Academy signing probably down to Gary Brazil and his staff. He joined us when he was 16.

I think Stuart Pearce was there when Matty Cash signed, i think Stuart Pearce spoke to him before, during and after the process

Now the Stuart Pearce character assasination has gone from being an unmitigated disaster, not achieving much and now to being untrustworthy, interesting, any facts to back this one up?

The Stuart Pearce season started really well and was derailed by serious injuries to critical players. Equivalent to losing Grabban, Lolley Watson and Sow long term. Britt, Reidy, Fox, Hunt, Hobbs, Fryatt and Cohen all played when we beat Bournemoth away to go top of the league in August but missed huge chunks of the season, some were never quite the same player again (putting it mildly in some cases).  

The truth is (and I went on record early in the season saying same) to get promotion in this division luck with injuries is crucial. We are getting that this season so far (touches wood) as are DirtyLeeds. Being a good manager can also be helped by a bit of luck. Sabri is fantastic, he is also getting us some overdue luck with injuries. A team with Darlow, Hobbs, Cohen, Britt and Fryatt as the spine and Reid pulling the creative strings with Antonio wide gets promoted all day long back then. A team with Samba, Worrall, Watson, Sow and Grabban down the spine also looks good, with some good width from cash, Ribs etc. All bar Sow have been available almost every game. 

I digress. Stuart Pearce was one of our greatest players of all time, he was an unlucky manager whose results suggest he wasn't a very good manager-but it's never that clear cut is it?
