OneTeamInBristol Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Nige not going with the team to Coventry due to illness. Curtis Fleming will take charge again. I wonder whether the effects of his 2 bouts of Covid might still be affecting him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2015 Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 I really can see a resignation in the next week or so if his health is effecting his ability to Manage us. Get well soon NP 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree mentioned a couple of weeks ago could see him walking. This is a big job with a complete revamp of squad required, although this illness may not be related to his covid bouts.

Hocca Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) I’m starting to wonder if he’s really cut out for this job right now, it’s obviously having an impact on his health and his wellbeing has to be prioritised before anything. Has to be a blow to the players when their manager has been absent a few times due to illness too.

ExiledAjax Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Is Pearson trying to see from how big a distance he can manage a game? Last week the stands, tomorrow Bristol, then the Isle of Skye, then New York, maybe Timbuktu for Sheff Utd away, a quick trip to Auckland for Derby, then nip up to the International Space Station* in time for Hull. Jokes aside, I wish him a speedy recovery of course. *I am aware that in terms of miles distant in a straight line, the ISS is at times much closer to Bristol or Hull than Auckland. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the exact same, would be extremely gutting. Football aside, my well wishes are with him. I will take a repeat of the last away game Fleming oversaw us, hope the players rally round for Nige and give a battling performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fpcity Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 As some comments above it wouldn't surprise me if he resigned due to health reasons. Pretty sure he said he's chilled out more before he joined us. So may decide the stress isn't worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl&Toby Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Maybe, just maybe, he’s starting to feel as though he was told a pack of lies when interviewed. Wouldn’t be the first time would it……. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waconda Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) He was very ill with the first bout of COVID and has had it again, couple that with the pressure of football management, let alone the added stress of the struggles we currently have. it is perhaps unsurprising that his health is still being affected. Not sure we have ever had the "real" Pearson sadly. Get well soon Gaffer. Edited November 5, 2021 by VT05763 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t be the first time would it……. I don't see that. He's been clear himself from the start about our limited transfer budget and we've just made staffing changes that he presumably wanted. If the "pack of lies" isn't around the transfer budget or the staff he could have, I can't see what it would be... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post semblar Posted November 5, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Those who are giving him a hammering for sitting in the stands might also need to reflect on whether it is because he has been trying to struggle through whatever illness he is dealing with, rather than not feeling the need to be in the technical area barking instructions 29 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) I'm another who's wondering if Covid hasn't meant Nige is struggling more that we realise. If a resignation is necessary due to health reasons, so be it. The most important thing though is Nigel's health, get well soon gaffer!

If he’s been sold a turkey I’m sure he’ll go out in a blaze of glory. if he’s unhealthy, and he’s had COVID twice now, then step away and get healthy. Despite what Shankly said, it’s not. But let’s hope it’s just short term and he needs a bit longer to het right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
