And maybe NP was gone after the Brum game and they have been getting all their ducks in a row for today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is really suffering healthwise, he won't be able to coach the side well or be as effective as a manager. It's for his and our benefit he steps back from that role. It's a bit gutting and will be one of the great "what might have beens" if he is off, but if health is impacting his ability to do the job, then he's making the right move. I hope rest and the relaxation of not being within the shitstorm of BCFC helps him feel better. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, avoid pay-offs also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebristolred Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 If this is the case, as much as I'm not always a Warnock fan, it would be a good move for now. One of the disappointments of Pearson's reign is that we thought he would be the sort of manager to get players running through walls for him, which just hasn't happened for one reason or another. Warnock would help bring that attitude back, and even if he might not take us up, that effect could help and carry on past his tenure.

Shelton’s Love Gravy Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 It will be: Pearson leaving for health reasons; Fleming to take temporary charge whilst the club carries out a “careful, thorough and rigorous” recruitment process for a successor.

Bs4Red Posted November 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 Nige gone, health reasons. Unsure on who will take over. Press conference around 4/5pm apparently. Source always reliable.

David Brent Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) If it is the case that he is leaving the due to health then it’s a shame it happened at this stage of his Bristol City career. These last few weeks will be the lasting memory for many city fans but I was still optimistic he could do something special here.

marmite Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 I'm pretty sure it won't be Warnock but if we want to get points any way we can , what's wrong with his way if it keeps us up. Short term it's win win if he keeps us up cos we're going down as we are now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he's ill, it explains why he is underperforming as a manager. In those cicumstances its right to say goodbye. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 I think if there was an instant appointment there’d be some strong rumours about who. Pearson stepping down, Fleming in temporary charge whilst we try to appoint someone seems likely. Genuinely wouldn’t be adverse to Warnock as a short term thing. The priority has to be to survive. Warnock as a short term sticking plaster whilst we scope out a long term manager could be prudent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 How disappointing if so. He was exactly the type of manager we wanted and we were fortunate IMO to get him. Whatever may be wrong with him at present I would like to think that we could allow him an extended period of sick leave rather than changing manager. I'm not blaming anyone if it's true, because I don't have an inside track, but it would be disappointing. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh1t_ref_again Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 Not sure of the legitimacy of the "joint" press conference rumour But could be just as likely NP updating on health and taking time away or DOF role and Shakespeare coming in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin_unreliant Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 I'll be gutted if Nige leaves. It hasn't gone well but I still believed he could sort us out long term. No idea who else could sort out this underwhelming squad. Please god not Warnock, that would just finish me off. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
