Indeed but you know what I meant. They may well have been sacked but it was certainly after a breakdown in relationships as well as results.

I don’t know enough about JL to make any real comment but I do know what’s happened since Pearson came. They knew the type of manager they were employing they seemingly wanted someone with a firm character willing to knock a few heads together his reputation preceded him. What I believe that JL should be saying is we’re behind NP and it is a case of trusting “the process” which will take time. What they also need to do is make sure that we don’t keep allowing players to improve here only to sell them on to the detriment of the club. You could add Danny Wilson to SoD and SC another manager who left after being frustrated by the board. The trouble is we’ve heard a lot of soundbites from the Lansdowns over the years and I think this comment from JL is simply another of those, but he wasn’t banking on NP reacting to it in this way.

From the way Pearson’s talking wouldn’t be surprised if he jumps before he’s pushed. He’s clearly unhappy with what’s going on behind the scenes.

The team as a whole have definitely been performing better and the type of football we’ve seen under Pearson is certainly more exciting than previous seasons. Obviously the goals we’re giving away are the problem. Many of the players give their all on that pitch and to say they’re under achieving is a bit of an insult tbh.

Would you be given what he’s had to deal with?
