He might just have the shits Yep, none of us know what’s actually wrong with him. At a guess it might be related to the covid bouts he’s had - long covid maybe? We all know that it can quite awhile to recover fully. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomThumb84 Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Firstly I wish him well. Secondly, I posted elsewhere, I had a nagging feeling he may walk away. I am starting to wonder that the size of the job + recurring health issues are starting to take its toll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 It's November: all sorts of bugs going about.

Rossi the Robin Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 My mate had it in his late forties, says he wasn’t ill but his energy levels after are shocking. Has to rest just climbing the stairs I’d imagine it’s taken it’s toll with Nige and he actually does need a rest - nothing more 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 I hope he's back to full health soon and that his perpetually underperforming players put in a shift for him, themselves and the shirt tomorrow. Get well soon, Nige. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 A Managers job is hard enough physically and mentally for a fit healthy person, it will take a toll on anyone less than 100% If it is Covid, just from my experience it can totally wipe you out . I never felt anything like the sheer fatigue and pain I had, and I’ve given birth twice with very little pain relief! I had Covid just over a year ago and even now if I over do it a bit I feel drained and like I am about to get a bad cold or something. I recognise I need to rest and maybe Nigel does too, not that it’s always possible of course. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marina's Rolls Royce Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 20 minutes ago, TonyTonyTony said: Lots of speculation here. He might just have the shits That's no way to talk about our first team. My honest opinion is that Nige, for whatever reason, seems very very out of sorts with the job he's taken on. I wish him well, I hope he recovers very soon. I also hope he takes a permanent leave of absence because every bone in my body is telling me that there's only one destination with Nigel Pearson and it's not purely down to him but he's a very big part. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, he didn't appear outwardly unwell yesterday so something has either come on very quickly, or he has been suffering with something physical or mental for a while. Either way, get well soon Nige. I think you are spot here. Thought the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Hopefully he's alright. It's a worrying situation that we're on a run of poor form and just when we need strong leadership we find ourselves with Fleming and Ball leading us out. That's no disrespect to them because even they would not have even imagined this turn of events back in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Just read through a few replies , and **** me there are people doing some serious conclusion jumping . Seriously, if he's ill it could be anything . We hadn't had a cold for 18 months, after "Freedom day" (FFS) my Mrs got a stinker and passed it on. It's cold & Flu season and he's not long back from a 2nd bout of COVID. Could be anything, and I wish him well. Hope it's not long COVID, a mate is struggling months after getting. Out of breathless, only working part time and worst of all, can't drink more than a half in one sitting. No point in speculating, and I do think it's a little early to pick a replacement. Lets get the next loss out of the way and then consider Nige's leaving gift then 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that in a previous post, I'm afraid that the two bouts of COVID and the pressure he's under is just having a toll on his general health. I really hope I'm wrong, because knowing SL' decisions re head coach appointments, probably it will be left to Cummings to get the team out of the mess they are in. Let's hope big Nige will get back normal sooner than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
