TomThumb84 Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Bristol football has had a complete turnover. Tisdale and Holden to Barton and Pearson.... could not be more opposite. Hopefully it reignites some much needed passion as it had all got so sterile. There will be a few of ours out in their back gardens doing circuits tonight with this potential appointment!!

Still think there should be a sitcom where they’re forced to live together in a Harbourside flat while managing the city’s rivals teams. My money is on Nigel!!!

Maybe he did but very hard to turn down Pearson I would say. Big coup even if only initially short term. If Pearson insisted on that then SL may well have relented Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderwithtommy Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 I am smiling from ear to ear! I really really hope some of the first team players sleep a little less comfortably tonight, cos the video s Pearson will be watching if the last 7 games will leave no where to hide. i think he will be successful - even if that success is “only” changing the culture of rewarding failure. However I do believe he will do more than that! do you want a fight!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He talks about clarity, convincing players, etc. Don’t fall into the trap that he’s one for a fight in the dressing room. A fight with Gregor, now that’s different 8 minutes ago, pongo88 said: Maybe it’s Pearson who wants a short contract till the end of the season. That way he could assess the state of the club and the level of support he’s going to get. If he likes what he’s found he can sign a longer contract. Assuming the football improves he will be in a strong position as it would be difficult for SL not to keep him Yes, would imagine it’s exactly that. As a club SL wants longevity in his managers. Pearson will be sussing us out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Does he live in Devon? Bloody hell Ralph, good work. Realised you were all powerful now, being held in such high esteem by Steve for your statistical anaysis, but to negotiate a new manager deal in less than 24 hours is impressive. Knew you wanted Warnock really, but Pearson’s not a bad second choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 The other reassuring thing is I don't imagine that someone like Pearson would join without.. A) Full autonomy over transfers B) A good budget to have a decent go at Promotion next year This is not a treading water appointment, this is an appointment for a club that wants to have a serious go at promotion. Very exciting and reassuring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Grim Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Not expecting miracles. Get some fight in us, keep us up and look to build in the summer.
