Spoons Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Love to be a fly on the wall when Pearson meets our medical department ..... And the 15 current first team players out injured. My bet is there isn't 15 out Injured for Swansea on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCulturalBomb Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 City Chief Executive Mark Ashton added: “Nigel is a highly respected and experienced manager with a proven track record of success and we are looking forward to welcoming him to the club." IT'S NOT LIKE WE WE'RE LOOKING FOR THAT IN THE SUMMER MARK, WAS IT!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 79 Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Absolutely Fantastic Appointment. Let’s hope he can get the confidence back into the team and start creating chances again and who knows we might even win a corner!! Hopefully he manages to turns things around and signs a longer contract before the end of the season!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTRFTG Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Big question if he keeps us up and we retain him, but make no mistake he's just the type of manager come summer (and this one in particular,) when there will be hundreds of young and underrated players up for grabs and Pearson is as good as any at identifying them. The bad news for most City players is he knows shite when he sees it thus whether they'll see merit in playing for him, I'm not sure. Until the end of the season could dictate the next 5-6 years of where City go. It's THAT significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJP3 Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Congratulations are due to us all. Although we lost the chase for Joey Barton to Rovers, we have faced defeat with dignity and grace. No bitter moaning of disappointment, no cries of what could have/should have been, just a cautious hope and warm welcome for this Pearson guy. I'm proud of everyone. Well done all you brave, brave soldiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedorDead BCFC Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Anyone thinking him sitting in the stands tonight is concerned. You can bet he gets messages to Simpson and Dowling during the game. Albeit small part but he will have some say tonight. OOC players would be looking at this as an incentive to perform as they will be aware of what he can bring to this club and will want to be part of it. Players won’t be scared, more than likely looking forward to working with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
