Powell is a former Derby player too so there's decent club links there for people who care about the history rubbish. Pearson is also local, from Heanor, although I hear he grew up a Notts County fan. Anyway, I don't think we can make many more excuses for fucking up promotion now. He's a no-nonsense manager and that's what we've needed for a couple of seasons now.

Pearson was apparently born in Nottingham (Heanor is in Derbyshire, although close to the border). He did play for Heanor Town FC though. Pearson went to William Sharp School so its more than likely he grew up around Bilborough.
Good on him for being a Notts fan though. Growing up I was one of about 4 Notts fans in a school full of Forest fans.

Finally gets him off our payroll. Nice to see you going for an ex-Leicester double - both are well liked. Be nice to see you not bottle it next season so we can have out customary 6 points the season after.
