This Is Derby Reporter Adam Pearson (Chairman) James Leach (Manager) I'm here today at Derby County's Football Stadium to speak to Adam Pearson and new manager James Leach. So Mr. Pearson, why the sudden change? Well ever since Paul Jewell became manager at derby we didn't get off to a good start, he had disrupted the whole team. I decided to let Jewell go, He wasn't the manager who i wanted, instead we have hired James Leach as our new manager for the club. Not many people have heard of him, but we have full faith in his abilty. Thank you for that Mr. Pearson, James Leach, what are your plans for this club newly promoted the the english premiership? Not many people have heard of you and will probably have a short fuse with you , Sorry didn't mean to offend you there. This is a big step for me, i haven't managed any team like this before, I'll be looking to keep them up front relegation but by the looks of it almost everyone is expecting us to be going straight down. Adam Pearson and myself beleive we can achieve this goal. Thank you for this interview. | | | | 20-02-08, 08:26 PM | #2 (permalink) | | Indispensable To FMF Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Basingstoke Posts: 1,049 Thanks: 98 Thanked 186 Times in 178 Posts Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 | thats all i can do for now guys ,, i cant get on footie manager at the moment because im on safe mode on the laptop .. will post more asap | | | | 20-02-08, 09:42 PM | #3 (permalink) | | FMF Moderator Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Dundalk, Ireland Posts: 2,714 Thanks: 203 Thanked 408 Times in 335 Posts Nominated 1 Time in 1 Post TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 | good start leachy, graphics look good mate, good luck for the future :P | | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to John10 For This Useful Post: | | 20-02-08, 11:21 PM | #4 (permalink) | | Important First Team Player Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Adelaide Posts: 721 Thanks: 54 Thanked 95 Times in 95 Posts Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 | nice stuff mate, good luck with derby | Cheers Liveru | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to walkinshaw For This Useful Post: | | 21-02-08, 01:46 AM | #5 (permalink) | | Scout For FMF's DB Update Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Mississauga, near Toronto Posts: 2,084 Thanks: 352 Thanked 311 Times in 253 Posts Nominated 17 Times in 3 Posts  TOTW/F/M Award(s): 1 | nice start leachy maybe youll become a great gfx artist someday just play around with photoshop when your bored, it helps you  and hoepfully this story will be easier to understand than th's  | Thanks to Spanish for the userbars :) If you would like me to make you a sig, click on mine! | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to apthered For This Useful Post: | | 21-02-08, 02:00 AM | #6 (permalink) | | Indispensable To FMF Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Banda Aceh,Republik Indonesia Posts: 1,001 Thanks: 22 Thanked 52 Times in 46 Posts Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 | good luck!!!!!!!!!i make sure derby not get relegation :D | | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to mirjalovic For This Useful Post: | | 21-02-08, 02:28 AM | #7 (permalink) | | Indispensable To FMF Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Basingstoke Posts: 1,049 Thanks: 98 Thanked 186 Times in 178 Posts Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 | inside access James Leach Alex Fernandez 12-07-2007 I'm here today just 5 days after new boss Leach took charge of the Rams, and to a massive suprise he hasn't hessitated in bringing some new faces into the squad, ill now speak to Mr. Leach about his new signing Alex Fernandez an unknown player from small club C.D Coslada, for free. So Mr. Leach how did you get to find this player and how well do you think he will do at your new club? Hi, i think Alex will eventually become a first team regular, but i dont think he has what it takes to break the first team yet though.. ill give him a chance like i will do all my players. He's a young lad and has alot to learn about the game and english football which is the priority obviously. He is deffinately a good signing for our future in the premiership and his cost is excellent also, as he was free. Do you think you will be signing anyone else in the near future? Possibly, i have sent my scouts to various places to watch a few names which i dont want to name at this precise moment, i will do once i have confirmed deals and contracts. thank you Mr. Leach looking forward to talking to you again. | | | | 21-02-08, 02:43 AM | #8 (permalink) | | Indispensable To FMF Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Basingstoke Posts: 1,049 Thanks: 98 Thanked 186 Times in 178 Posts Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 | Inside Access Gabriel Torje 15-07-2007 Just three days after rookie gaffer James Leach signed youngster Alex Fernandez he decided to splash some cash on the newest member of Derby County young hot prospect Gabriel Torje.

I errr am very happy to move to such a club as derby, im really looking forward to what impact my new boss will have on me.
