GrahamC Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Just now, JonDolman said: Pearson has said a number of times that him and Lansdown have had a number of honest discussions. I can't imagine Pearson would be fine with 2 coaches working with him who he thinks aren't any good. I can't believe Lansdown would appoint a big name and surely more expensive manager in Pearson and then not give him the tools he feels he needs to get the job done. I think it's more likely that if they stay then it's because Pearson works well with them, rates them as coaches and is happy to continue with that part of the coaching set up. Ok then, but either way, it’s a guess, isn’t it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Excellent news. Results have been - on balance - well, horrific. However, Nige has done the business elsewhere, is a no-bullshitter, his own man with great clarity of thought and determination to succeed. He clearly doesn’t suffer fools and wasters gladly, so those who ain’t prepared to put a full shift in, week in, week out ...goodbye and good riddance. For the first time, since Cotts I think we have made an appointment that will drive us forward. Well done Steve. Doubt he’s your ‘best fit’. But maybe you just need a bit of a Hargreaves pairing to make Lansdown as much a success in the football world as in the business world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red_Alligator Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 12 minutes ago, formerly known as ivan said: Three year deal is far too long based on what we have seen. An expensive sacking on the horizon... 12 months with an extra year option would have done. I guess that depends to a great extent on what your expectation of our position in the League would be at the end of season 2021/22 Ivan. I'd expect a mid-table finish to be realistic. Hence the three years. Nige or not, it's going to take a while to turn the big red ship around. Let's hope for favourable weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenred Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 40 minutes ago, Leveller said: Football fans are fickle and after a bad season, there is a natural assumption that all the players and coaches are rubbish. Not surprising, but it’s unlikely to be true. Let’s see what NP tweaks. Sorry it’s nothing to do with being ‘fickle’ and not sure why the jibe, I gave what I believe to be a valid reason whilst also understanding the position. Not sure what’s fickle about it at all. They are part of a management team that failed. Miserably. End of. But I get that there are also other areas that need to be addressed, like I also said.

Tin Soldier Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 What this appointment will give the club, management, players and staff is much needed direction. Allow Nige the ownership of the 1st eleven - it’s his team, no excuses. He will need at least two transfer windows to effect change IMO. But at least the shambles of Ashton has been negated. We can all move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamite Red Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 I have no issue with Downing and Simpson staying, Nige has identified the issues within the club and he obviously believes they are not part of the problem. None of us have an idea of their abilities. I hope he can bring in his own assistant or coaches if he desires to compliment the current staff and we appoint Walsh as DOF.

Davefevs Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 56 minutes ago, ncnsbcfc said: I agree Graham. Plus the fact that they signed 3 year deals on probably considerable wages. Are we still paying off LJ as well? I know DH was on a rolling contract, but all of these things cost. I think their cards are probably marked in the medium to long term. But any other coaches currently employed, would need to leave; and then probably do some gardening leave again at their present clubs. It all takes time. NP probably just wants to get going here and now; as he knows that we've got a hell of a lot to do in 3 months before the new season starts. I don’t think they will be on considerable wage at all. But I haven’t seen their contracts have I @Spoons England age group stuff below u21s isn’t well paid, it’s almost part time too, so they wouldn’t have needed to offer them much. City advertised Luke Williams job at £35k pa!!! 46 minutes ago, Pezo said: So there contacts aren't up for a couple years yet then, we will be paying for LJ until this summer I think (but may have a clause for joing another club) and we will be paying for DH until February then? Sounds like a @Davefevs question to me . I’ve no idea what contract length they came in on. I was surprised when I heard people post they were on different contract lengths to Holden. 30 minutes ago, phantom said: It's "social media " not club websites etc isn't it?

WessexPest Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Good to hear, and the fact Pearson hasn’t been quite the revelation we thought in his first couple of months at the club is even more reason to tie him up on a long-term deal IMO, the problems are so deep-seated that it’s going to take some fixing. If only we’d’ve gone for an experienced manager when Cotterill left, we’d be in a much better place than we are now and have avoided so many daft decisions. One or two have their doubts about Pearson, but I’ve yet to hear them come up with anything approaching a sensible alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have missed AW massively IMO and he is the sort who would thrive under NP Does a lot of work that goes unnoticed, can link the play, and score goals. Him along with Walsh, are the two OOC that I hope stay. Baker providing he takes a wage cut based on how often he has been available, and then if that improves, so can his terms.
