If there is potential commitment issues I'd rather look elsewhere to be honest. I wouldn’t. We can’t afford to look long term, we need to be looking at the here and now and Pearson is the man to stop the rot and keep us in this division. We can worry about next season in the summer.

Doubt it! If Pearson can keep us up, then for sure longer term deal will be offered. If we get relegated then he may not want to continue and we might not be able to afford him.

He doesn't live there. He has a holiday home in Ivybridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it’s all to do with relegation. If we don’t succeed in staying up would Pearson want to manage a league one team? Or would we be able to afford him? Would not surprise me if we stay up then he gets x a week to stay on next season. McCarthy at Cardiff would probably be the same as they were in free fall now they are knocking on play offs door. And would not surprise me if they finish in them. I can’t see Cardiff starting next season without McCarthy as manager. Likewise Colin last season with Boro. It is a safety net for both sides with what ever target triggering a longer contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodiesaffer Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 8 hours ago, Riaz said: Kind of agree. But with GJ, we had been expected to face a relegation battle and instead we were one game away from the prem, he had done a miraculous job at that point It’s a very harsh decision indeed, however that season we had the momentum of promotion. IMO he should of been replaced with a man who can for the good of the football club. He was never going to produce that again in his career. It’s about moving up the levels. In the real world yes the man doesn’t get replaced. This is football.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot remember that ever being the case before since the inception of OTIB. Let's just hope Ashton doesn't put his oar in and screw this up at the 11th hour.

If there is potential commitment issues I'd rather look elsewhere to be honest. I would suspect that it’s a contract whereby he’s committed for the season - if he keeps us up and it’s working well it’s verbally agreed he’ll continue. I would suspect his contract includes a hefty ‘survival’ bonus and an even heftier ‘playoff’ bonus if he somehow achieved that. Obviously he won’t come cheap so in a worst case scenario it’s not realistic to keep him in L1. We’d also need to restructure like we did under SO’D. A short term contract for now is prudent on our part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semblar Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Whether it is announced or not, you can bet the players will be told -assuming it is true of course but I feel like too many places are reporting it for it not to be.

He said there were a couple more people being spoken to this time who weren't previously because it wasn't right for them (or something like that). Perhaps Nigel's COVID situation meant he was one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squire Dastardly Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Finally, when the kitchen has flooded for the sixth time in 3 weeks, they've come to the conclusion that there is nothing else to do but to GET A MAN IN! At least stop the leaks (9 goals in 3 games) Time to find a more permanent solution to the problem in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree , I’d imagine Pearson is coming in with a brief to keep us up with a bonus in place if he does. Gives him a couple of months to review the squad and us as a club and us the same. If we stay up (which I think now we will) and Pearson is backed in the summer financially then can see him staying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
