Shaun Pearson

Well that's a brilliant signing for them hope he does well good luck shaun

Quoted from LondonMariner43

  Although plenty on here think Shaun has that potential, the fact that he has chosen to go to Wrexham suggests he didn't have L1 and higher clubs knocking on his door.  In my view he's a good honest National League/ League 2 pro.

It could also be possible that signing for a moribund National League club like Wrexham indicates that that is how Shaun perceives himself.

Good luck Shaun lets hope he isn't replaced with a Haywood or Gunning. Poor from the club to try and leave him hanging over being given a contract. Either he is good enough which means they should of offered him a contract a couple of weeks ago, or not good enough so just release him. To look at it as a "well he'll have to do because our first choices wont sign" is not the way to get the best out of your team. As I posted the day he was anounced as manager Slade can "do one" as far as I'm concerned.

What a bizarre comment entirely based on supposition... you seem to have taken some percieved greivance against Slade, read between the lines of the club statement, added 2 and 2 and made 304040202.

Dont rate Slade, never did rate him while he was here before, the Shaun thing has little to do with it. Hes just another journeyman manager making a living who might but I doubt it move the club forward. Re Pearson I have not posted anything up to now as that really would have been pure speculation. The club statement seems to say they were keeping him hanging on a new contract to see if they could get someone better instead -no way to treat a loyal professional like Shaun and Im pleased he has gone for it and found a club that really wants him, rather than being messed around by Slade/Fenty or whoever made the decision.

SO basically cos you dont like Slade/Fenty its their fault... What corking logic..

The other side of the coin is of course that Slade has spent the last week or so trying to see what his budget is, by clearing out, making offers to pay off those on longer contracts, before he starts signing or resigning players. Its also possible that Pearson had a very good offer from Wrexham with a time limit for a decision and didnt want to hang around and wait. In that scenario of course there s actually no one to blame though that doesnt really suit your agenda.

Equally with contracts, there seems to be some impression here that a contract is simply handed to someone before negotiations- which is of course not how it happens. People tend to negotiate their terms and then write a contract with those terms in it when they have agreed otherwise some poor sod would be sat re drafting contracts 10 times a day.

That's a good interview with Shaun, it's pretty clear that he's happy with the move.

Good luck Shaun, enjoy your holiday and best of wishes with your move to North Wales!

I dont dislike Fenty or Slade and I have no agenda, just dont think Slade will get us promoted-whatever the budget is going to be we need 3 central defenders and only have 1 under contract so he must sign 2 central defenders therefore Pearson is either good enough or not to retained, so surely all this could have been discussed and a result sorted over the last couple of weeks, or are we expecting to get better but cheaper than him (does not happen very often),

Really gutted to see Shaun go, someone who gives 100% for the cause and even more in the community, it's our loss he is going Fenty, you should have done more to keep him.

I would have thought he could have found a better club than Wrexham even though we would class them as a league club considering their history and fan base, however we don't need any more Welsh teams in the English league so I hope they do well enough but not enough to get promoted, baaaaaah.
