ExiledAjax Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Confirmed https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/paul-simpson-leaves-city/ Paul Simpson has left Bristol City by mutual agreement. The club wishes Paul well for the future and thanks him for his 14-month service during a period of transition for the Robins. Simpson arrived from the Football Association in August 2020 to support then newly-appointed Head Coach Dean Holden. With the recruitment of Nigel Pearson as permanent Manager in May and Curtis Fleming as Assistant Manager last month, Simpson was re-titled First Team Coach. City CEO Richard Gould said: “Paul has been a great support during his time with us and we are very thankful for all he has done for the club. We wish him all the best for the future.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Not health related according to Gregor. Seem to be a few Carlisle fans who want him to go there, they have a managerial vacancy at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldstandrobin Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 2 minutes ago, billywedlock said: I was wondering about the coaches and assistants during the last game. There seemed to be a lot of people on the bench talking. Too many chefs and all that. It was a bit crowded and maybe Simmo felt his role was changed after Fleming arrived. Main thing is his health , and wellbeing. He will end up at Ipswich tomorrow. My thoughts exactly, all on the GRAVY train !! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Musicworks Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 It could be that Simpson’s health issues delayed this happening as it’s not a good look for it to happen when someone is undergoing treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bristol Rob Posted October 22, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 My predictions. 1. If we win our next home game, the usual reactionary posters will decide that Simpson was the problem. 2. If we don't win the next home game, the usual reactionary posters will decide that Simpson could have been the solution. 3. Regardless of the result of our next home game, the usual reactionary posters will remind us that 'Pembo' was the best coach we ever had, but go weirdly silent when asked what it was like to be coached by him.

Waconda Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) Obvious that things have to change on the coaching front. I never seen such a disorganised, confused and passive team than the one I have witnessed several times this season. Hopefully (not in a horrible way) Simpson and probably Downing were/are the problem. If not we are in serious trouble.

LondonBristolian Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 I'm very most not one of the posters with inside info but I'd imagine there's no horrific or nefarious secret reason underpinning this. Simpson (and Downing) were appointed by the previous regime. Pearson is not only likely to want his own people in but has done so already in getting Fleming in. I don't want to criticise Simpson as I've no idea what he's done or not done, or how much Holden or Pearson have listened to his ideas. But it's utterly fair enough for any manager to want their own coaching staff. Good luck to Simpson where he goes next but I'm neither shocked nor horrified by a change being made. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few, if any posters on here any ‘inside’ knowledge. Well the three you're referring to are some of the most likely to have some. You know that as well, just being obtuse for the sake of it. Strange pursuit in my opinion. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
