bristolmoose Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Not wishing to put a downer on the evening but it has just occurred to me that there is a Talksport/Sky Sports reporter called Nigel Pearson. We have gone for the right one, haven't we? This is Bristol City after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomThumb84 Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 6 weeks to get Dean Holden and 6 days to get Nigel Pearson. I really need to know the agenda of that surreal process last time around. It keeps me awake at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 75 Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Could be a fascinating summer if Pearson stays . Lansdown said he would back the new man and let him rebuild the squad. Nothing is a given in football as we all know so well. But all of a sudden my mood is changing for the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this weeks episode, Nigel throws Ashton against a wall and then drags him to the docks and throws him in.

He was very ill for most of last year - I hope he’s ok and well enough now but an experience like that can re-align your priorities ... here’s some more details: https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12124344/nigel-pearson-my-battle-against-covid-19-leaving-watford-and-desire-to-return-to-the-game Edit: if he’s gonna be our next gaffer my post here makes me look like a right clown!

RedM Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 I haven’t read the whole thread and I expect someone else has made this point. Talk Sport and the Bristol Post were both convinced we had appointed Houghton I believe, so I will wait until more credible sources are reporting the news of Pearson joining.

SuperRed Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 You would think there’s little chance of his usual assistant Craig Shakespeare joining us from Villa (how many assistants does Smith need!). I’m not sure if it’s a case of Shakespeare doing the work on the training ground, hopefully Pearson can be just as effective without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrongagain Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 If it’s true and he does sign can you imagine Ashton saying no to him? HOPEFULLY big changes coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Robin Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 I don't know much about his football skills (tactics, etc.) but he has lot of experience and his fighting attitude could give a boost to the players so...not a bad choice on paper.
