Harry Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 40 minutes ago, Sturny said: When he was a manager, I imagine he’ll be hired as a head coach here and be less heavily involved in transfers I’m hoping there is a change. In that podcast that @Davefevslinked earlier, Pearson himself said, and I quote word for word “I’m a manager who coaches, not a coach who manages”. I don’t think he’d be keen on being announced as a ‘Head Coach’. Much like when Cotterill arrived. We went from ‘Head Coach’ Driscoll, back to ‘Manager’ Cotterill.

I believe there was also an article in the guardian about Hughton taking over and betting was also suspended but fingers crossed this time it will happen. I also read though that 2 people were interviewed on Sunday (one being Pearson), with more lined up this week. If more are actually lined up this week then I can’t see how he has got the job yet unless they have cancelled all over applications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tin Soldier Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 I wonder if he realises he has a chance to become a legend at AG.

ChippenhamRed Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 29 minutes ago, TomF said: I'd NP doesn't want to manage a team in L1 - stay up and he'll stay. Might it not be the other way around - maybe the club don’t want to be tied to an expensive manager in the event of relegation? With continuing Covid uncertainty, I could understand that from a financial perspective. Pearson could just resign at the end of the season if he didn’t fancy L1.

Baldyman Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 So today , Bristol football will most likely move from messrs Tisdale and Holden to messrs Pearson and Barton !

With continuing Covid uncertainty, I could understand that from a financial perspective. Pearson could just resign at the end of the season if he didn’t fancy L1. It is rumoured NP fell out with the owner at Derby. He has the CV but also a few ??? over the way he's left derby and watford. Bit more risky than usual for us. I'd be happy to see him in asap and a short term deal would help both sides to decide if it is a good fit longer term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
