Get ready for all the  Pearson fan boys to be out in force on here tomorrow then 

 

What I would say is some have short memories. It wasn't that long ago that we were also 8th in the league under NP and having put in excellent performances away at Hull and Swansea, as well as mauling Plymouth at home. And then all the injuries piled up and inevitably the results and league position began to suffer, but not to drastic proportions.

Fair play to LM, but I fully believe that if NP was still here we wouldn't be too far away from where we are currently. It was his squad that he built and now LM is carrying on the good work and long may it continue.

You Reds!

Shame he was there to spoil it the useless clown.

You are just bitter that Pearson has gone and you will never like anything that  Manning says or does.

Plumb.

Lower league manager.

Can't see Cov sacking him.

I mean I could invest £250m into the beef trade in India, I doubt people would give me a pat on the back and be like "you did your best", instead they'd say "why did you just invest that money into something so stupid?".

The Lansdowns haven't been quite that level of stupid, I mean the business side of developing the stadium and the training ground have been fantastic but beyond that what have they done? 

The management choices have been questionable and if you look at the ones that have been a success for us even those appear to have been tainted.

Id say of all the successful managers I've seen at this club the most successful was Cotterill and he was sacked after the club refused to allow him to go after the targets he wanted to leaving the team short of what he felt it needed, the club refusing the man who got us two trophies in a single season, unbacked because at that point there was a rift between them. 

Gary Johnson was probably the only man they didn't piss off that did well for us, maybe his son could be included but I would say LJ was hacked more than any manager I've ever seen at this club and he still failed to achieve the Premier League goal. 

Coppell for me was the real sign that there was an issue at the top, he came in and within 4 months lost his passion for management and resigned, then went on to work for 5 other clubs. Something still doesn't sit right with me about that whole situation and I think it was a case of him knowing that he couldn't get success with that board/owners. 

Then you have Pearson, probably the only manager I've seen in my time as a City fan that's been sacked without any fan fare for it, hence I think it's receiving such a big backlash. Even those who weren't sure of Pearson at his times here where it looked like he'd lost the fanbase came around and backed him again, I still can't think of many managers who recovered from losing the fans here. The result, the board doesn't like him, get rid, the fans will keep coming anyway (Jon Lansdowns words, not mine). 

Then you could address decisions like Tinnion being manager because it was cheap and he's very much in the owners pockets, that ended well. Or how about the endless weeks we waited to hear who our new manager would be, only for it to end up being the assistant manager of the man who was sacked, to the utter disbelief of the fans. 

The only constant in all of this is the Lansdowns so let's just forget all of that because they slung a quarter of a billion at the wall making all those awful decisions. 

Brilliant post sir  

Agree with every word.

The root problem at this club is SL, and IMO this club will go no higher until he sells up and him and his family are gone.

I give up.

Sick and tired of our constant injuries every week every year.

Absolutely no chance of getting any momentum.

If I was a Brum fan I would be absolutely fuming.

Made good signings, playing well and in the top six.

Crazy!

Even at his age he's already the complete striker.

Strong, a turn of pace, useful in the air, excellent movement and absolutely lethal in front of goal.

He's got that rare natural instinct, quality finishing with head and feet. When he's on the pitch I get the feeling he's going to score more often than not, give him the service and he's clinical.

Most natural striker i've seen in a City shirt in quite some time, it's great to have him back we've missed him as we did last season too. UTC

How we've missed him, was really down for days when heard he was out for three months in august.

Any news on Vyner injury?

Absolutely sick of our injuries, it's never ending.
