Ivorguy Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Reports suggest he is in for the Rotherham job What do we think? Good luck to him, I say, if he wants it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Personally think he could do better than Rotherham. Don't think it's a very appealing job at the moment. But who knows. Back up north. Might fancy the challenge. Wouldn't want him to go seems a top coach and bloke. But as you say good luck to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Can't begrudge him a managerial role if that's the direction he wants to go in and one comes up that is right for him. He knows the area and as a first managerial role the fans' expectations are realistic and in line with their stature and budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleHappy Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 If this happens now it could be a disaster for the Club. Timing couldn't be worse, such a key member of Lee's staff, part of the cement that holds everything together at a time when a few cracks are beginning to appear on the pitch. Yes recruitment of players in the January window is vital as we are all aware, but not losing Pemberton right now is of equal if not more concern. If there is anything the club can do to encourage Pembo to stay, that his future here is good for him and the club then I hope everything possible to achieve that will be taking place. Wish JP all the best in whatever decision he ultimately makes - but fingers are tightly crossed he makes the right one for LJ, the team & BCFC as a whole.

Major Isewater Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 We are going to get this every time a club like ours up North loses a manager. JP has said he is happy and committed here. Why would he leave a club on the up where he is respected and relatively safe to join a club punching above their weight and most likely to go down this season ? Great start to a managerial career for Pembo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you could also flip that to say that as your first foray into management, you'd do well to find a club with more reasonable expectations at which to earn your stripes If he genuinely wants to be a manager in the near future (and I don't know whether that's the case) it's not going to be here. IF he went to Rotherham he has enough of the season left to potentially turn things around and be an instant hero. If they go down, the blame won't be laid at his door and let's be honest, L1 is their level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been looking for another assistant coach since the summer. Would be bad timing for him to leave now we've got the two we want but I wouldn't begrudge him if he wanted to take a chance on himself with that challenge.

shelts Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 It's not the end of the world if he goes. He can be very with his contribution to Bristol City. Be a shame with the club on the up, not sure if the new coach is in , in case Pembo goes. I wish him luck if he goes. Still don't think he will leave though, so yet another worthless post from me!!

REDOXO Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Players, coaches, manages come and go. However as coaches go Pembo is top drawer and will always be remembered as the guy who stopped the post SC rot. Brought In the right players reverted to 442 (LJ Take Note) and won a handful of games before SL and the board got "their" guy. Personally I would do anything reasonable to keep him here, however if he has the taste for managing I guess that could be that. But saving Rovrum from here is a big job and a big risk for a wannabe manager, but if you can do it you are made and his experience with saving us makes him a real possibility if you are on the Rovrum board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Wouldn't want to lose him but I would like to think that we don't hold anybody back in their careers be it players, coaches or staff. If he wants to step into management, and that's a brave step, then good luck to him with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolcitysweden Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 A good step for John. He showed what he can do when Cotterill was sacked. In football you will be sacked one day because of inept half idiot owners. You have to make the best of it. Good luck John! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampshire reds Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 A born winner is stevie g. what a inspiration he would be to have around the club. absolutely fantastic.
