Some just don't want to see him succeed I find this mentality bizarre and we see it with every single manager. There are always some who seem to want them to fail. Being completely honest, I've felt like this about 2 managers I can remember; Millen and Holden. Nothing against them as people, but I really didn't think they were suitable for the club and that we needed to change ASAP. I think this was purely from a utilitarian footballing point of view though. I find though that you'll always find people who'll go beyond that and almost seem to have a personal grudge against a given manager.. we've seen it as long as I can remember, Gary Johnson, Cotterill, Lee Johnson.. now Pearson. Every single one had detractors who seemed to have personal issues with them. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I guess there is a distinction there. I can admit I wasn't exactly distraught when results started to turn bad though as I though it was for the greater good of the club that they were replaced.

He has been at the top as a player and a Manager and experienced. Comes across abrasive and abrupt. It's something maybe our fans are not used to seeing from a Manager. I'm all for it personally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
054123 Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 Pearson comes across like a normal person. In my business the most trying aspect is behaving in a way that appeases the majority and presents a ‘modern, professional’ front. God it’s boring.

Kante, Fuchs, Huth are the obvious ones. Chillwell was out on loan at Huddersfield(?) too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This vice blog covers both sides and includes the good Kasper side https://www.vice.com/en/article/jm9bdy/nigel-pearson-whats-wrong-mate-820 At the end of the day he's human and is fallible like the rest of us. There's enough out there to cover pros and cons and for people to make their own minds up, without getting to the either the you are with us or against us side of fanaticism. We all care, just not always the same view onplayers or managers etc. Something to bear in moving forwards. Vice can be inconsistent at best but that article nails how I see Pearson. He's consistently had the backing of players and generally done well at every club but is woeful with the media. He seems to have got slightly better but obviously hates doing the media side of things and that can impact people's view on him. Given time, I think he'll be the manager we've needed for years.
