Not that I'd want him in charge of us. Just thought I'd chuck a fact out there. Pearce played for England whilst he managed them?! When was that?!!

CyderInACan Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Pearce would be an absolute shocker; we'd be a laughing stock. But it would be typical of City so never say never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashtonwurzel Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 But he must be a good manager because he shouts a lot !! When things are not going well in a game just yell at the players and all will be well. He also brought David James on as a centre forward in a game. Total clown.

I believe Stuart Pearce is also the only England manager who had the same initials as the England captain - he was in charge for one game and Scott Parker was his skipper!!

Fordy62 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Can this thread please end? I'll take Appleton, Millen, Tisdale's hat and even skeletor. But for me, Stuart Pearce would be the ultimate disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I was trying to forget all about this, sorry but, idiotic idea but there is the thread at the top of the standings.. just goes to show how vehemently against the vast majority of City fans are of such a numbskull idea.. here are his stats if you wish to absorb them and consider them even mildly important or justified the print space.. Date of birth: Apr 24, 1962 - More like April 1st. Place of birth: London Age: 53 Nationality: England ø term as coach: 2,08 Years - he's a stalwart of the industry then. Points per match as manager: 1,37 Success rate as coach: 37,6 % Wins mostly boring 1-0 wins24,2 % Draw - clinging on for dear life with 9 men, admirable.38,1 % Losses and thumping losses they nearly all were. Trainer licence : UEFA Pro licence in tea making. Preferred formation: 4-2-3-1 or throw a coin and hopes for the best. IN SHORT: ABYSMAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOREST - 96/97 - 21 matches - 1.14 PPG MAN CITY - 05-07 - 95 matches - 1.24 PPG FOREST - 14/15 - 32 matches - 1.25 PPG Abysmal just does not do justice as a word to this pitiful set of stats. Consider the amount of time he was given at Man C and he still comes out with 1.24 PPG.. shameful. Once again though... the bookies are absolutely not the place we should be looking not least for our sanity... total nonsense.. it is only for making a fast buck. Listening to Pearce now... talks like a thug with no nouse... don't get me wrong, superb player but absolutely hopeless as a manager. "I have worked with both Butland and Hart, and I brought Hart to Man City, you know what I mean" ... give me strength... full of himself with no credentials. "man utd, man city, world classssssss' know what i mean ... " " don't see a strong personality in Mignolet, inneee, gotta command your box intya"... Forget this rumour guys and gals,,, it is simply not going to happen. You will have a pyre outside AG of burning season tickets if he shows up. Not a chance.

Blimey- sounds just like another Cotterill type reaction. You're in danger of persuading me he's the right man to save us from relegation and storm the Championship next season. Psycho in.
