Saw this elsewhere - not sure how true it is

A very long time, to appoint someone within, was puzzling to say the least

To be fair, they did consistently say, they were “going through a thorough process”

But then lost his job? where did he leave them in the league? He did well - but i dont see the rationale in sacking a manager, who has been there and done it. For someone who has done well at times, with never getting a promotion. And he's had a number of clubs.

I feel the same. I dont have much faith in those choosing our next manager. I'm fully expecting a manager, that has been proven to be a lesser manager than Nigel Pearson

I read on a bristol live article, that they "understand" that the club are hoping to appointment someone before saturday!

Be pissed off and expect a relegation battle. Will also join the army of Lansdown out brigade. Not much else i can do, other than that

I dont have much confidence in the "process" - the holden "process" was long and drawn out, only to appoint from within. I've always been behind SL - think some use bristol sport and the rugby, as a stick to unfairly beat him with. But with this situation, he has lost my support. I do think its time for change at the top, although, i realise thats risky. Bit down about city. I was so positive with how NP had built a squad and wasnt afraid to use our academy. Now thats gone. Someone give me a reason to be postive - because i always try to be.

He had a big budget at Stoke and failed. Looking at his record overall. He did really well at Brum - but hasnt done anything that impressive since. I'd be disappointed if he's appointed. We had a better manager, who has done things in his career, which Rowett hasnt got near to achieving

I look at the managers available and it depresses me. Most have not achieved what Nige has acheived - if we appoint one of them, whats the point of sacking a manager who is much better? For me Eustace, was unlucky to be sacked, while 6th in the league. Think he did a good job at brum - so he is one of the few, who i'd be happy with. The other name is Roy Keane - He wants to get back into management and did really well at Sunderland. Other than that, a young manager on the up. But not one of these managers who are "proven failures" at this level, such as Rowett - as i said, we might as well stuck with Nige.

He’d never have Cotts near the club

It’s the other way round

He was backed. He just went for unrealistic targets. Massive bids for Gray and Gayle

Why people having a pop at tinnion?

This is nothing like Cotts. Cotts was taking us down. Pearson had us looking up and he was building something. I’m pissed that they’ve got rid

You and millions of other mugs obviously

Pissed off

The real fights don’t happen because of people like you

Anyone paying for the Fury "fight" this weekend is a mug!

I dont think its the same. Purely because i feel the decision to sack Cotts was correct. We were going down. Right now, things are alot better than when cotts was sacked. For starters, we arent in the relegation zone and we are top half. I think it would be crazy to get rid, when we are just starting to see light at the end of the tunnel.

He defintely said given our situation

Pearson said he was limping round and given our current situation (with injured defenders?), we cant afford to risk him. Makes total sense.

Its much appreciated!

I'm sure he does - but why would Mark Robins leave coventry for a sideways move? I dont see the attraction for him?
