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. 100% this. Pearson couldn't have made it any clearer that he needs 4-6 windows to get us into a play-off pushing side. There was no vagueness, it was a straight to the point "that's how long it will take me" so that's 2-3 seasons depending on how the recruitment goes. Presumably this is why he was ideally looking for a four year deal but is making do with three years. Why would you accept a one year rolling contract for a "project" (I hate the term tbh) that you know will take you at least three years to accomplish? Steve Lansdown has appointed him (obviously official confirmation awaited) after those comments have been made. Nobody can claim that Pearson is pulling the wool over anybody's eyes. No false promises, no bullshit, he has given a timescale of clear progress that is so easily measurable it's untrue and if he either fails or is clearly on course to fail then he hangs himself by his own performance criteria. What can be fairer than that? You will still get nutters on here, despite the comments he has made being crystal clear in terms of timescale and obviously being accepted by the Owner, wanting him sacked when we aren't top 6 by December................absolutely guarantee it.

Harry Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 2 hours ago, Phileas Fogg said: Haha, as if someone like Pearson would settle for 12 month rolling. Ridiculous. Seems like a reasonable negotiation though. Both parties opening offers are in the extreme and they settle somewhere in the middle. SL would still be angling on the ‘covid finances’, suggesting that unknown budgets mean he can’t commit long term, NP would argue that he needs certainty to be able to implement his vision. Settle on 2+1. Everyone’s happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this is the summer SL actually goes shit or bust on the premier league. Our FFP position actually feels fairly favourable to do so in 2021/22. However if the "bust" part of that materialises and we stay down, it would definitely lead to problems, or restrictions, budgetary impositions a year or 2 down the line...but that's the gamble!

YGBjammy Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Really hope confirmed soon; great decision. We are now about 100x more attractive to players we are looking to recruit than we were last summer. It's definitely a big job, and NP has talked already about it taking 5 transfer windows or thereabouts to build a team for promotion, but I trust him. I think he's an inspiring character. Will definitely sort the wheat from the chaff if nothing else. Where do I buy my City scarf with Nigel's face on it? #COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you don't do Twitter, I'll explain. Hundreds, if not thousand of unqualified chancers, spout endless amounts of bullshit claims, of insight and knowledge. Even the so called Journalists do it, just dressed up as rumours. Take all the claims, ignore 95% , or do as I do. Assume it's all fake and only believe the ones you want to be true.
