exAtyeoMax Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 22 minutes ago, Mr Popodopolous said: Couple of interesting snippets from Gregor's article. Apologies if already covered. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/nigel-pearson-finally-bring-necessary-5031925 If accurate, explains a few things! Medical issues in the Summer apparently. Good to see us aiming high too and the last bit might assuage a few fears, at least in the immediate term? This is good. There were questions about whether Hughton had indeed done his homework to the fullest extent last summer? This bit puzzles me- why every natural left footer pretty much falling to injury? It really can unbalance a side that. More of a challenge for sure, longer term- I'd argue quicker than that, medium possibly even anything beyond that initial phone call! It definitely will not be dull! He'll give 100% and expect it from everyone in return. did they actually approach him in the summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
