Ivorguy Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 I like Pearson, but thought at the time it is this owner’s last throw of the dice. I fear Pearson may walk at season’s end. Ihavesaid too often we need a thorough external audit of everything connected with the club. The owner has failed in over two decades to reach his declared goal After today, for me, No more mentions of our training facility No more mentions of promotion as a season’s aim No more signings of those players looking for a last golden handshake in The West No more praising our Academy players when we continue to sell the best of them (this season’s end will be no different I guess) Just no more feeble excuses. Allow Pearson a full run at sorting things out. Last chance saloon for SL, whether he sells up or stays he will have lost the supporters and damaged the club for many a long year unless Pearson is given 100% control and we begin to have a workable plan for long term success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only question should be - is Pearson getting the most out of his players? Today, I don't think he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ostrich Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 I stuck the first half on in the background and it was pretty dire, once the stream went down I didn't bother to try and get it back up. They're not Pearson's players and given the lack of warmth for most of him on here, it's fair to give him the benefit of the doubt until he has a squad that's a bit more in his own mould but I think there's questions over him with his start added to his time at Leuven and Derby. Yet again, I had no idea what the plan was, what the patterns of play were supposed to be or how you were going about trying to win the game. He's been with you 6 weeks now and, whilst I can't compare before Pearson and since Pearson, the team doesn't look well coached still. 6 weeks is obviously no time at all but is still enough time to show some impact. I've only seen 135 minutes but they were pretty dire and against teams that weren't much cop themselves. Huge job for him in the summer if he gets it.

Possibly because many of us are not convinced he will be. Subtle but large difference. I've not seen junk like we are playing, even in dire relegation seasons and especially not even when we were bottom of Division Four. Personally, if I was Pearson, I would look for a lesser basket case to sort out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 Questions, I think, need to be asked of Simpson and Downing, as organisationally we are a shambles. Holden couldn't help the injuries. He may not have had a say in the departures. But I think the way the constituent pieces of the team work together (or not, on afternoons like this) started to drop right off when the current assistants were appointed.

If he gets a better offer, (which he might), why stay here unless he has full control of team affairs. IMO, Ashton has to go. That way, psychologically the boil has been lanced. #**** off Ashton.

I was thinking of the stark contrast between the Bears and City. With City he is involved in selecting the manager and the the way the club is run in football terms as well as finance. With Bristol Bears he just writes the cheques and let's Pat Lam and the Rugby hierarchy there get on with it. Well Steve you have got a Football version of Pat Lam in Pearson sign him up permanently and give him the financial support and leave him to build the coaching set up and squad. And enjoy the success as you have done with the Bears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
