It was such a crap thing to say, it stuck in many of our minds as the day he took the fans for idiots and lost a number of them. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody we appoint to the job ever seems up to it at Tier 2 level. The club seems dysfunctional at its core. Although I do wonder if Nige is basically not a well man since his first bout of COVID and is struggling to exert himself or care enough. I 100% believe nige hasn't been fit enough since he signed and maybe his second dose of covid has floored him.. I can see him leaving football altogether.

Has a style of football (much like Russell Martin who is earning plaudits with Swansea).

LocoPal Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 9 minutes ago, Rob k said: Which players are decent? Pearson identified the midfield as a weakness early on and employed King & James to pick the quality up in midfield. They did it in the Prem way back. So why not the Championship? They are both missing now and we are back to the players we had in the Deano era. So now, Weimann & Massengo can run their arses off all day for all it's worth, but the quality, concentration, combativeness and composure in midfield is still missing. Brownhill, Pack & Smith had those attributes and have not been replaced. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YGBjammy Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 I still have faith in Pearson. This isn't his team really. Thanks to COVID he was incredibly limited in the transfer market and so rebuilding this team is going to take more transfer windows than it would normally. Obviously you hope that he would be able to get more out of this current crop of players; but this squad is not good; hence why we are rebuilding. For me as long as we stay up this season, and have some good performances from promising young players like Massengo, Scott, Pring, and Tanner then it's an acceptable season. The previous squad that was assembled (and then sold off) under Johnson and Ashton has run its course and we need a proper rebuild, and thanks to COVID it wil be slower than we'd like. People suggesting to get rid of Pearson; do you honestly think someone like Ryan Lowe would have us battling for the top 6? Would he be better than Pearson, and have the experience for rebuilding the club over the next 2 seasons? I'm not sure. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would start from a total shambles. As inconvenient as that is. If we had a "decent squad of middling Championship players" you would expect us to win games comfortably on occasion. How many games can you recall in the last two years where we have won AND been the better side? You could count them on the fingers of one hand and have fingers to spare. The vast majority of wins we get are dogged performances where we have been battered for the most part, games where either Bentley has turned up or the woodwork has turned up - that doesn't scream middling Championship standard to me. It screams crap. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t concede so many goals in injury time as professionals. You can’t blame the Manager only. something seriously wrong with their attitude…. they are a disgrace!! Just not good enough, mentally and talent wise I thought the effort and shape defensively was there today and we quietened Coventry first half and improved to go in 1-0 up, could have been 2 The second half is down to being mentally weak and low confidence and you can’t coach that - and players can’t seem to make a simple pass. Again they shouldn’t need coaching to do this A mix matched toolset in recruitment over the last few years is taking its toll- it will take a genius and time to sort 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not quite what he said as I recall it if we’re thinking about the same interview. The context was that we were in a poor run of form and the question from Twentyman was along the lines of “the fans are paying a lot of money to come to watch City and aren’t happy seeing such poor results week in and week out; what do you say to them?” Lansdown’s response was something like “I’m putting a lot more money in than them so imagine how I feel.” There could probably have been a better response in retrospect, but it wasn’t how it’s been sometimes interpreted or remembered by some people.

Never mind ultimate beneficial owner. I couldn’t care less how much money he’s “invested” or written off. He’s the ****** at the top of the tree.

He’s the ****** who was at the helm with his hand on the tiller when other ******* buffoons were appointed - remember club legend Tinnion standing in the dug out at Swansea? He’s the ****** who now owns the ******* lot. The lot. Ashton Gate. What was once a club asset is now his. And all that can be seen around it. And we laugh at the Rovers not owning their ground…… He’s the ****** who promised to make us proud. Who’s feeling proud tonight? Not me. Time to open thine eyes.

To right, he's manager of a team that he has put together that has a fair chance of promotion. Plymouth are a club that could match out crowds and are on the up. The only thing we could entice him with is wages. For me he would be mad to leave what he has going now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
