GrahamC Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Not sure what to make of that. Pearson has said before it isn’t an area he likes to work in, but now he is clearly front & centre in doing so. The good news is that it means he cannot end up with someone he didn’t want but not sure how this model is sustainable once the season starts. Presumably means all the change is taking place in the medical department, plus maybe strength & conditioning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must be free agents then. And let's be fair if your a free agent just before hundreds more become available after June you would jump at the security. Who have they signed?

Lrrr Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Perhaps its a case of not wanting to just appoint anyone and want to bring in the right person? If they're not available now we're prepared to wait until we find the right person? 7 minutes ago, Fordy62 said: Perhaps a little unfair. Gregor does a decent job I think.

CodeRed Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 You would have to assume that Nige is comfortable with this - be it temporary until the right candidate is available or if this is indeed the structure ' going forward' (as they say) . You don't give Pearson a 3 yr deal and then shaft him from behind so he must want it this way......his cock on the block as Fevs would say!

East Londoner Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 I see it more of an acceptance that there isn’t time to properly set up a new recruitment structure for this transfer window and so we’ve taken a more pragmatic approach so not to be left behind and left with the potential signings nobody else wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 NP Probably knows what players he wants. He would jeapordise his job if he didn't think he could recruit with the team we have in place. Gould will most likely do the negotiating of money and agents, but won't be involved in recruitment. That's my feeling. I should imagine a head of recruitment will come in at a later date when the right person is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 I heard on the grape vine that the head analysis Sean Glihespy will be working very closely with Nige. That makes the DoF role redundant. Makes perfect sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 I’m actually ok with this . The scouting system is in place. And now Nigel Pearson will have a lot more responsibility. Which I’m happy with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully toughening up Bristol City. Hopefully we will have a team next season that can compete. And the players give 100% every game. That’s all we ask and that is what NP will be asking for. Otherwise they can do one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possibly the case that the man or men we want aren’t available & rather than get anyone in we’re waiting for the right bloke My view is that Nige wanted either Walsh or McKenzie but both are not available at this time. Therefore he’ll wait to get the right person. Not sure what the structure will be. I’d hope that Nige knows who he wants, so could be that Nige creates his targets, Gilhespy crunches some numbers, Nige and Gould then meet the agent and player, and then Gould handles the finance of the deal. With the greatest respect to him, if Gilhespy is involved in any negotiations with agents or players then I worry for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 No Head of Recruitment or establishment of a scouting network is terrible news. As Nige says himself in the interview the existing team are very good (cough) technical recruiters. Bit like LJ though, if the game were played on paper we would be world champions. It’s not and we aren’t. We’re s**t. Our recruitment since Ashton took over the reigns, replacing Cotts system with his, has - with very few exceptions - been s**t. Staring at computer statistics is no replacement for eyes on the ground and intuition from knowledgable, experienced, proven scouts. Oh dear. Not good. Not good at all.

No idea who, or anything like that. So not linked in any way to Whatmough rumours, because those rumours were it was in April. I know no more. The source is some who knows a player very well. It could be bulkshit. I’m just stating what I was told. NP has told us he started planning the summer from the first day here. 9 minutes ago, Robbored said: I heard on the grape vine that the head analysis Sean Glihespy will be working very closely with Nige.

It doesn’t actually…. 2 minutes ago, Robbored said: I’m not sure that Nige will want a head of recruitment if he’s happy to work with SG. ….the role of Head of Technical recruitment is very different to a DoF. Now if they are changing SG’s role remit that’s very different. NP has stated he doesn’t want to watch players and he doesn’t want to deal with agents. Either NP has changed his mind, and feels it’s necessary or someone else is doing that. No reason Tinnion can’t assist, no reason JL couldn’t either.
