Unbelievable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tin Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 This is a massive appointment at a pivotal time for the club. There’s no doubt IMO that he’s the best man for the job right now, and credit to SL for getting him in quickly (no doubt expedited by Kalas and Simpson’s interviews after the latest dismal performance). In many ways, this appointment will tell us the real state of BCFC and Ashton’s reign. Pearson’s walked away from previous jobs because of politics and even the introduction of drones at Derby, so he won’t take any shit. I think it’ll go one of two ways: 1. He keeps us up this year, is backed by SL in the summer and makes us genuine top-six contenders next season 2. He’ll resign pretty quickly after seeing the true state of the club and the level of Ashton’s interference. One thing’s for sure: it’s an appointment to unite the fans and I’m going to enjoy the ride. COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done to Steve Lansdown. A wise man is someone who admits his mistakes . This appointment deserves to be a big success for Mr L and all us long suffering supporters.

Lrrr Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Should at least be seeing a performance full of effort tomorrow now even if we don't take any points, no one is going to want to walk into training on Pearson's first proper day in charge having not given 100% the previous day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prinny Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Job title is irrelevant. duties are all important. And people being excited over saying they'll reassess in the summer... Like they'd come out and say "if he does great we're defo not interested!" I want him to do well, so that he gains the trust of SL, and that shifts how transfers are done, that's the key thing about this appointment. If Pearson fails it's a big win for how we've done things previously which should be on its last legs. This could be a real course change for the club, so I'm hopeful. But it's a tough day to be a bird with this manager... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
