LucasIsHere Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 I certainly think he is a good choice to come in and stop the immediate rot, as said at least until the end of the season. Beyond this season I am unsure, but as of right now keeping us away from getting sucked into a relegation fight is the job, and I think he is a great choice for that.

TheReds Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 5 minutes ago, Kid in the Riot said: I am simply pointing out that some Watford fans don't think he did such a great job, as confirmed here: Views of Watford supporters: Nigel Pearson | WFC Forums Their last two games were against Man City and Arsenal so dubious to suggest they definitely would have stayed up had he remained in post. I agree, from the outside it looked like he did very well, but then I doubt any of us were watching all of Watford's games. They were 7 points from safety when he took over, and he got them 26 points from 22 games. No I didn't watch every Watford game, but I still don't see how that is not a very good job looking from the outside. Would they have stayed up with him, maybe, maybe not. But what we need now is to simply stay up, and I think he will do that and if he gets us playing half decent football on top of that then it's a massive bonus and deserves consideration for a longer contract. I am more than happy if we appoint him, as I think he will stop the rot, and give some players a massive kick up the arse. We can all judge the style, tactics etc at the end of this season.

S_C Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Personally, my preferences (of those realistically linked) were Cook and Neil. Howe after that, though I’m not/was not convinced this was the right moment for him. Pearson, to me, is a high risk, high reward appointment. I worry it could implode if he goes heavy handed with a group of players already feeling sorry for themselves but on the flip side, if he brought stability, it’s a calibre of appointment that could easily take us to the next level. Presuming it all goes through it will be fascinating to hear the sound bytes from Ashton/Lansdown on how he will fit into the model if our relationship extends beyond the summer.

brady bunch Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 very happy if Pearson comes in, my vote would have been for Paul Cook, but Pearson ticks most of the boxes for what we need right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazred Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Excited to have someone come in with a fresh pair of eyes on the squad and some new ideas. It's desperately needed. I like his stern but fair demeanour, probably overdue a bit of that as well. His teams always look well drilled and he should have the respect of the players before he's walked in the door. It's a sound appointment, even if only short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbird1 Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 This is a very contentious appointment, if it happens, NP has a very arrogant personality that just might damage this club beyond the period of his tenure. Or it might gust ignite some passion and fight in the players, either way it is as far removed from a Bristol City manager as I can ever recaĺl. I hope this works out .

There is little to suggest he is heavy handed with his players....everything to suggest he’s massively protective of them. Heavy handed with owners and media? Absolutely, but not players.

Totally agree Harry Confident and assured I’d say As somebody who doesn’t suffer fools , I’m in his camp %100 In terms of reading people I see Ashton , and people like LJ as people who appear to talk well , and wish to come across as very intelligent and smart , but it doesn’t take long to see what substance there is behind their words For me , whenever I’ve heard him speak , Pearson actually talks sense with clear intelligence, with the presence and confidence to match Keep us up Nigel , and you have a blank book to write Thens the time for SL to back him to the hilt , as far as he can , and let him get on with it If he does that, he has a man , potentially , who can sort his football club , not just his team , for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityloyal473 Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Gregor MacGregor @GeeMacGee Nigel Pearson: As reported last night by @benfisherj, it's going to be just a deal until the summer initially. But could become longer if it works out. Close to being completed. As it stands, Pearson will work with the existing backroom staff. #BristolCity Working with dumb and dumber and very much a short term goal at the moment. Not as enthused by this appointment as I had been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you believe that the great majority of our post war managers did not instill passion and fight in their players. Beasley, Ford, Dicks, Cooper, Jordan, Cotterill and even John Ward all won promotion and it's impossible to do that quietly, without passion and a great deal of fight.
