Kid in the Riot Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 50 minutes ago, Harry said: 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”. My only concern with this is it sounds like he needs to be surrounded by an elite coaching team that will take day-to-day training. If he is a manager that coaches, then he'll be more reliant on his coaching team. On this basis I really hope he brings his own men in, because as of now I don't have a lot of faith in Simpson and Downing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornbury Red 1 Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03fmskp Does Nigel Pearson want the Bristol City job? Former Leicester boss Nigel Pearson coy on speculation linking him with the newly vacant managerial position at Ashton Gate. "I'm not ruling anything out but it's got to be the right fit," said the 52-year old. "I've been out a bit longer than I thought I would be, but having said that if I don't work again this season and end up getting the right job it'll be worth it." This clip is from 5 Live Sport on Friday 15 January 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the impression there wouldn't be many ins and outs at this stage for a guy who may only be here for a few months, he may be allowed to bring someone in with him as extra but would be a case of assessing the staff at the club and then if he stays on changes being made in the summer. Why rip up the staff structure at the club if the guy could be gone in a few months and someone else coming in who may then want their own people again.

I suspect only chance of that not happening is if Ashton objects in some way. Or another club come in and offer him better terms than Landsdown can.

Yeah NP will want to get into the players heads to create a new mindset and group ethic, and having loyal coaches that know your methods makes that process a lot easier.

Hughton is a very good manager but I was never sure his style of play would suit our players. I feel Pearson will bring in defensive organisation and quick counter attacks. I can see that working for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Rumours are that he fell out with the owner and chief exec who like to micromanage everything and I think NP had had enough" "He got the squad morale improved. Put an arm around the players shoulders. Then tried to knock sense into some and there was a fracas behind the scenes. Spoke his mind and was removed."

Fair comments Greedo, and of course the absurd decision to appoint DH certainly have set us back.. No doubt Hughton is a good manager but I was never part of the clamour to bring him here. Not sure his personality would have fitted here, or his style of play, so he didn't fire me with enthusiasm. I wanted Cook in the Summer, and again this time, but hadn't seen Pearson as a possible contender. If, as now seems likely, he is someone the club would accept then he's absolutely the ideal choice imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dastardly and Muttley Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 One interesting comment made to me on Twitter - “He’ll bang some skulls together. Some chairmen think they want this, then realise it’s not for them when it happens.” Explains why he had short stops in some places. Personally, I think his style and obvious intelligence is a great fit for us. Also, one of the top traits of his teams is organisation. That is currently what we’re lacking. Let’s do this.
