Maybe it'll be some blockbuster appointment that none of us see coming. One of the folllowing:

Bielsa, Hassenhuttl, Lopetegui or Potter.

I'd still think Pearson merited the opportunity to see what be could do with some money medium to long term and as injuries returned hopefully short term, at least 3 of those are out of work.

In practice though would any of those remotely be happy to work under Tinnion for one.

Whether I believe any of the above, of just trying to post positivity to lighten the mood..

I imagine it'll be someone uninspiring, inexperienced or both.

I think your last sentence summed it up perfectly. 

As I am sure has been said, the longer this process goes on the more likely it will be Curtis Fleming. No one lined up , recruitment process run by idiots and it will be cheap in every sense.

Can anyone imagine Lampard taking the job at City where he’s got to follow advice from Tinnion? 

Cannot see  any chance of this happening.

His high level contacts may outweigh his average managerial ability

Average managerial ability! I would say he has demonstrated below average ability for the majority of his management career.

Sacking Pearson and appointing Lampard would be totally ridiculous. I'd be fuming.

I'd also expect us to tumble down the table.

I think that is a real possibility whoever we appoint as none of the candidates are better than what he had and indeed appear a down grade on Pearson.

It really does massively underline that until Lansdown has gone we will continue to decline. I wonder just how low the club will sink before the curse of the Lansdowns is lifted.

How does a Manager who has any knowledge of the tremendous job that Pearson has done in extremely tough circumstances, take a job with the people who have sacked him. I know it is about money but they must surely realise what low life's they would be working for.

You think.

Well he owns it and until he goes can do what he wants to it in spite of the feelings and wishes of the supporters. So sadly I think it is.

Disgusting , Lansdown’s get the **** out of our club!

 Summons up what is wrong with this country, the rich thinking they know best!

Trouble is it his club not ours. 

Pearson and Rennie gone, mass of injuries. I would think there is a good chance we will be in trouble.

Thank you Nigel. You were building something here and changing the culture of the club. The fact you were not supported by Lansdown is a disgrace. All the very best for the future. The possibilities were there if you had been supported. The club will never move forward until the Lansdowns are gone. I hope the day is coming when that is a reality.

Sorry mate, I’m sure you’re a true city fan, but that’s totally over the top.  How many clubs would send their owner out to discuss an injury crisis?  Lots of guess work here, and “a spineless lack of leadership”?  Really?  How do you know what goes on inside the club?

There’s no ugly situation, just a side struggling with an awful injury crisis. 

Last week there was also a very unhappy manager making his views known to the press because there was no one else to talk to.

God I hope we bring their fans down a peg or two..

'City will have to be at their best to even compete'. We've competed in every game this season including away to Leicester.

'Ashton finds himself in a different position than at Ashton Gate with much more competent people around him' err half of them came from Ashton Gate and WTF would the poster know about the rest of them

Too true. It would be great to beat them. And shove two fingers up to Ashton and Lansdown and some of their more arrogant fans. And whopping endorsement of Nigel and the work he has done.

Like many others I am of the firm belief I want Nigel to stay but with all that's going on at the moment it seems inevitable Nige will be gone soon.

Heard a lot of names thrown around just hoping It won't be someone like Rowett would like Eustace if Nige were to leave.

Cannot  even begin to understand someone who wants Nigel to stay, starting a post to see who people want to replace him. A great shame to see posts like these from our own supporters.

How the club haven’t extended it yet is beyond me, Lansdown has been happy with many managers before to keep handing out extensions.

Completely baffling how he thinks they would be able to find anyone better at the moment.  

I agree. But I suppose given the incompetence Lansdown has shown in picking Managers then this latest fiasco just shows how totally unsuited he is, in making decisions that benefit the club in footballing terms.

Most telling thing in that pre match, is it sounds very much like there’s going to be no contract decision for Nige until the end of the season at best. 
 

“up to the club to decide, but would suggest all the hard work that’s been put in shows that we’re starting to go in the right direction”

Baffling decision.

Hey look we equalised 

It is nice to be wrong even if you didn't see the goal. I should have more faith like you.

Why? They've been pretty decent at home this season, was always going to be very tough.

Well I suppose I was hoping.

Just now, DaveF said:

You're right, might as well stop watching.

Well the feed is repeatedly stopping so I won't have much choice

Are you surprised we aren't as good as Leeds who have just been relegated from the Prem?

No but surprised we weren't much better than Rotherham last Wednesday.

Unless Tommy Conway reproduces some magic again in the last 10 minutes then can anyone see us coming back in this one.

Wells off injured. Cornick on.

Reduction in quality unfortunately.

I’m not calling Pearson a racist by any stretch as he clearly isn’t, but he does come across as a type of manager who likes hard working brexit means brexit type players. 

I’d probably put a bet on that most of his signings, if not all, have been white British or Irish players. 

I'd probably put a bet on that most of his signings, if not all, have been players we could afford and who he thought would be good for the club.

Fantastic. Got me out of the chair and I have just a knee replacement and have got Covid. How good were those goals and how good is he.
