AshtonGreat Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 23 hours ago, mozo said: Deeney on the Pearson rumours: "I just want to put it out there, there was no fight at half-time," he told beIN Sports. "It's 2020, you don't do that any more and certainly with all the cameras you would see a lot more if that was the case. "The gaffer didn't put his hands on anybody. He was just frustrated and had a firm talking to us. No-one was fighting, no-one was punched and no-one was tickled. There were no hands thrown. "Second of all, Troy will not be picking teams - I have read that online as well. I am player-coach, apparently. Anything else I have missed out? We weren't locked in... so a lot of interesting things." [Goal] Why is he talking about himself in the third person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same Tomlin whose doing nicely at Cardiff eh? Who got the assist to finish off LJ? Not got a problem with LJ moving him out but maybe he couldn't get the best...? Pearson is a good manager but seems to have a complex/troublesome relationship with clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure but Johnson also seems, in my highly limited view, an awful man manager. So there's probably not much praise to be taken from that comparison.

Bradley Orr said that he was a brilliant man manager, too, but that was really disappointed by his lack of day to day involvement & shocked at how he allowed certain players to be totally unprofessional (Taarabt).

Blackbird1 Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 Proper old school type, wouldn't fit with the sensitive nature of the club and support. Thats why he would be ideal, we have been a soft touch for too long, a yes from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm not blaming LJ as such, getting rid of Tomlin was right- penalty miss v Burton for one. Sure a few managers got the best our of him however! Harris seems to be.

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 As for Pearson he seems to leave clubs with a certain level of acrimony. Leicester harshly sacked him, Derby got rid by late September- he was suspended IIRC and Watford, something behind the scenes that contributed. Would be interesting to see how acceptable his style is moving forward in the top two divisions? 16 minutes ago, Blackbird1 said: Proper old school type, wouldn't fit with the sensitive nature of the club and support.

Media reports seem to vary. Sky Sports said something IIRC about a frank exchange of views. What's beyond dispute though is that off the field aspects played a role in his Derby and Leicester sackings- if this was on the field then it's mad.

Not sure from that reply if your'e agreeing with me or disagreeing or neutral, or even if you understand the point I was making. The story goes that Johnson couldn't control Tomlin so he just changed the rules to avoid that particular confrontation which he'd probably have lost.
