He's very dim. This does not help when trying to manage a football club.
And how do you know he's "dim" ? What criteria do you use to gauge a persons "dimness" ?.
From suggestions that I know he made when he ran the U21's. One of the ideas that he came up with really did come from the extremely dim school of dimness. But if I told you what it was I would have to kill you.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I respect yours, even though I find it a tad pompous.
That's gracious of you, but it wasn't my intention to offer you 'an opinion', just an explanation of why he could be perceived as dim, since you did ask. That's not to say Pearce is actually dim, or that improving this perception of him is beyond him. What i am saying is he doesn't come across well and i suggest that's for the reasons given.

Fair enough, I prefer that explanation.
For me, irrespective of his mental capacity, I want him to do well for the following reasons.
1) He's English and we could do with more successful English managers.
2) for his passion filled reaction when scoring the penalty against Spain in Euro 96 (still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up when I watch it)
I like and rate the guy. Perhaps as he was my favourite England player after Euro '96, and that he was generally just 'ARD. He did exceptionally well with the under 21's before it went bandy at the end, just sounded like he was fed up with the prima-donna attitude of lazy young Englishmen. His experiences at Forest as caretaker and City when he was having to sell players will serve him well. As an Englishman, I hope he does well for them.
Can you imagine RD sacking Powell, then saying his replacement will be a Charlton legend (say Steve Brown) but he won't be taking over until June? A bizarre situation for a club which could still get promoted.
Holding court on Sports News right now, Stuart Pearce is clearly looking for a pundit role now there's no doubts whatsoever about his ability as a manager. Sadly, his insight includes such gems as: "The trick is to get through over two legs," so perhaps he'll struggle to make this a regular thing.

3) For his love of Punk.
Couldn't exactly see a queue of clubs wanting to take him on so i'm not surprised he's gone there.
"I saw him (Al Hasawi) before the game and we had a little kiss and a cuddle, so that was fine."
Also, his hair is really silly.
