Thankfully I've got a round trip via the car to Truro tomorrow. A bit of relief from the mad soap opera that is Bristol City FC. No doubt I will log back on Wednesday morning for some more madness! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 16 minutes ago, Midlands Robin said: Just found out what happened. One of the blokes who works on security at the RHPC is a chap called Piers. Well, his lad, Nigel makes a quality homemade Perry using a specific brand of pear. This led to one staff member at the training ground being overheard telling another: "Nigel, Piers son, Press conference this afternoon" Easy mistake to make. Stand down OTIB. “Great Boo’s up Edmund”… 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brady bunch Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 I just have a gut feel (not ITK), that even if there is no press conference, there is more to this then a wild rumour... I still think that we are going to see changes, related to NP being unwell. even if its later this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) I think Gould will give an update with Twentyman later on the city chat. I would guess its a statement that Nige is taking time out to recover and Shakespeare will join Fleming. Pearson wont walk away. Just needs to get well and then will return imo Edited November 8, 2021 by Tomo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) I do think it is a remarkable statement of the pressures of football and the expectations of people connected with it to be superhuman that a manager missing a game due to sickness leads to a twenty page thread and people convinced there must be more going on we don't know about.

Agree his health is his own private business but clearly the rumours are on a wider subject than the specifics of his well being. I think the problem is the 2+2 here. I don’t think it’s disrespectful in any way to muse that a man who has had Covid twice, is financially secure, has a life outside football and I think suffered a family bereavement recently may decide, for want of a better term, he doesn’t need this shit and it’s impacting his health. (Against that, he clearly deeply wants to do the job or why else bomb out Downing and Simpson) When those factors are in place, it’s quite easy for a believable rumour to be concocted that he has to step down due to ill health. And that’s where the 2+2 is, and the line probably is. It’s the difference between someone musing if his health is ok to stay in the job, and someone (not you), starting a rumour that he has to go due to ill health. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
