The Journalist Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 9 hours ago, Phileas Fogg said: I really enjoyed his interview with the club. He's clearly an intellectual man. He has an interest in History (as shown by his ideal 3 dinner guests). Whilst I think we all enjoyed Holden's interview on SOTC with Twentyman back in August, it felt different. That sounded like a decent bloke who was going to give it his all. Pearson's interview sounded like a proven expert in his field who was realistic yet positive. He doesn't speak for the sake of speaking, and refreshingly barely any clichés or corporate speak. The general feeling post Holden on SOTC seemed to be 'he seems like a really good guy, I hope he does well for us'. The overriding mood on Pearson seems to be 'I know he can do well for us, we have to give him ability to do so'. That's very refreshing. Also, I liked how he didn't want to dwell too much on our 'potential' and actually wants to realise it instead of talking about it. Assuming things go well, I can see his interviews and press conferences being really interesting. Brilliantly put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland-sweden Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 Saw the long interwiev with different reporters. NP seems to be relaxed and knowing What he speaks about. Think before he answer and gave honest. Hes been around and know how to do, he seems to be intelligent. Looking forward to have NP as manager.

It seems like we’ve brought in another defensive style manager to keep us up. This might suit Pearson more than his time at Derby/Watford but I wonder if fans have fully prepared themselves for a continuation of unattractive football? Not that I’m suggesting the club should haven’t hired someone to change the style of play mid-way through a slump in confidence. Ive never thought of him as a defensive manager. 83 goals and+40GD the last time he managed a full Championship season. Not quite Holden's 90 but that'll do.

Bob Thompson Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Let’s remember we are down to the bare minimum of first team playing staff, with kids on the bench.NP will have to assess the injured players first. Next step (with Ashton) trim the squad. 3rd step bring players in with a large deficit of at least £10 million hanging over us.. When he’s done all that ,he made decide we can make a bid for promotion. Easy Job Management! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Here’s a conundrum. Many fans seem to feel that Ashton is a root cause of many of our recent problems and would like him gone. What if he (MA) and Pearson get on like a house on fire, and quickly develop a good working relationship and see eye to eye on issues such as transfer policy, but then Ashton is tempted away by the Ipswich situation. How would fans then feel if Pearson was then not prepared to stay long term due to the unknown quantity that a new CEO would bring? Many see MA leaving as being the catalyst for Pearson staying, but what if MA staying was that catalyst? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Thompson Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 MA executes the orders of the Owner and Directors. He at the very least has and continues to be decisive. Hence a wonderful working Stadium. Training ground and staff.He’s done more to modernise the club than any of his predecessors. He may feel another challenge awaits, if he goes,he will be a hard act to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, but I suspect if we wanted another person similar to Ashton or in more of a DoF type role we may ask Pearson to help pick. If we see him as a long term manager then it would be a prudent thing to do and Pearson no doubt has his own network which contains some suitable candidates.

I get that. Wasn't meaning to suggest otherwise. But I think that NP has rocked up to Ashton Gate on his own. He has not (yet) demanded his back room staff are shipped in. He (apprarently) has listened to Tins about fielding youngsters on the bench. So it would appear to me that NP is happy to work with whoever and give them a chance. Yes they may get on live a house on fire, but if MA were to leave, I would have thought the NP would be OK working with whoever comes in. Plus NP may well have some input on MA replacement? Either way, I'm not worried about MA staying of going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazooka Joe Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 When Atyeo played for City, I am reliably informed they occasionally played "Big John" over the tannoy Big John, big John Big bad John Perhaps we should adapt the lyrics and come up with a version for "Big Nige".
