Listen to Schwarzer (a friend of Pearson) this week say how different so many players feel this season compared to last. How close Drinkwater was to leaving when Pearson was here and how much the mood of the squad has changed.
Some Derby fans think he may be going there. Would make sense in a lot of ways, not least because Kevin Phillips is there as AM.
BN, where can I find this?
They're not desperate at all, they just want to build the team "the Derby way". Promotion this season wasn't the aim. Darren Wassall appointed until the end of the season, so no new job for Nige.

What the feck is the Derby way?
Something to do with lining sweets up in a row and bugging people on Facebook to send you shit, so you can line more sweets up in a row, without having to wait...?What the feck is the Derby way? Guessing something involving sheep?

Aitor Karanka played for Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid
Middlesbrough head coach Aitor Karanka is considering his future at the club.
The 42-year-old Spaniard, who took charge at the Riverside in November 2013, left Boro's training ground unexpectedly on Friday after a row.
Boro, who travel to Charlton on Sunday, are second in the Championship, four points behind leaders Burnley with a game in hand.
The club confirmed Karanka did not take training on Saturday and assistant Steve Agnew takes charge at Charlton.
"We appreciate supporters will want to know further details, but at this time the club cannot make any further comment and is solely focused on Sunday's game at The Valley," the club statement added.
Middlesbrough led the table by six points on 12 January, but they have won just three of their past 10 games.
