TDD,unless you are playing devil's advocate I can only assume you have lost the plot! Pearson came in cold having had no experience of the players for the first two thirds of the season. Wotte has been here since LAST AUGUST!! He KNOWS the players, has worked with them, yet still serves up the same end result. You cannot compare the two men. Furthermore, Pearson came from without and ultimately galvanised the club, its players and supporters; do you honestly think Mark Wotte can do the same?
Lastly, the records show that Pearson's SFC stayed up at the end of the season.
Do you think we will be able to say the same of Wotte?
