Wolf Island Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 From GMcG “the new manager sat close to CEO Mark Ashton in the Riverside Stands, the body language between the pair an interesting watch too (as the club chief was sometimes ignored).” Anyone see what was going on?

It was impossible to tell whether they were chatting as they both had masks on. Pearson was mainly sat back with his legs crossed and Ashton was turned slightly towards Pearson from what I saw.

hantsred Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Initially I thought this but towards the end of the game they seemed more animated and deep in conversation. Difficult to read too much into the situation with social distancing and the masks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturny Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 From what I saw (Only being a handful of 4-5 second seciond clips from the stream) it appears NP was more interested in watching the team play (Leaning forward) I don't think there's anything to make from this as it's only natural NP would be more interested in the team playing. I don't really think this is an example of anything to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlands Robin Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 I think GMcG may be being a bit naughty there. For all of our dislike of MA, Nigel Pearson would have no reason to disrespect one of the board and someone he potentially needs to work with. NP has only been at the club 5 minutes. Now we've got a solid manager with a strong reputation let's focus on the remaining games and see what we can get from them. The challenge of where we go after that can wait a while.

!james Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 15-16 secs and 1:10-1:11. Absolutely nothing in it. Just journo nonsense. Shows Pearson watching the game in the first clip and Ashton talking to him, and them both talking in the second clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTonyTony Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Cheap journo click bait. As if any conclusions can be drawn from two blokes socially distancing watching a footy game intently, whilst wearing face masks. Maybe they were blinking **** off at each via morse code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh1t_ref_again Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 All the nonsense about MA not wanting NP here, MA needs NP to turn the football around, if we went down he would be out of a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red_Alligator Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Well if there's going to be any friction between the two, I know which one I'd ask SL to back. Suits versus Boots: 0 - 1 every time for me as a priority, but especially with NP, who it seems from previous experience, doesn't welcome direct interference from non-footballing staff. That said, lazy journalism from Gregor on this one, on what was an excellent night for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

numbeast Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 I think the relationship between manager and CEO could blossom in NP is given the job for next season. Pearson has the respect within the game and will probably not accept having players he doesn't want. If NP is sorting out identifying that will leave Mark Ashton to do what he does best, negotiations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah , the best cross I’ve seen from a City player for many a year. Curved away from their keeper and just demanded to be headed in. Nagy was my MOTM last night , although there were quite a lot of candidates for it , he glued it all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregor with a bit of click bait I think. he's already had covid, so don't know if that makes a difference At one moment during the game it did look as if Nige was ignoring MA but then five minutes later they were really chummy. NP was probably trying to concentrate, felt like he was working. MA was being friendly. A bit difficult dynamic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
