It’s starts behind the scenes though & it’s the things we don’t see day to day that set the trend . This 100%. Nice old BCFC has been the case for far too long. I dont think Nige is really the authoritative man SL really wants in charge either as he’s clearly too motivated to clear the deadwood and clear the niceness away. Perhaps we are now seeing the green shoots of us falling in line with what pro football is - hard and competitive, not nice and namby pamby like weve been for too long. Keep it up Nige!

Sleepy1968 Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 I don't want anyone having a fit of he plays well for Ipswich and blaming NP for letting him go out on loan. Surely, having burnt his bridges here, it's a case of whatever it takes to get that move made permanent? I'm sure any fee would be pretty nominal, although knowing Ashton, he'll probably try to knock it up to a few million. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 Slightly surprised at the detail that Nige went into around Bakinson given the question was just "any truth in the rumours of a loan move". He could have given a much more terse answer. Fair enough though, see you later Tyreeq. Nice to hear Baker has been back at the training ground - and it's great to hear Pearson refer to that place as simply the 'training ground' rather than the 'High Performance Centre' or the 'HPC'. Lovely to hear that Williams might be a sub on Saturday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben1980 Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) Bakinson is no big loss. Lacked desire and often looked lazy. Remember the game against Bournemouth when he came on. Strolled around despite the fact we were down to 10 men. Frustrating player- suited to league one. Loved the press conference and the comparison with Alex Scott! Palmer next hopefully.

ExiledAjax Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 Some nice insight to the Nagy departure if you read between the lines a little. Sounds like Pearson still has some respect for Nagy and holds no ill feelings towards him. And yeh "Alex Scott is a far more accomplished player [than Bakinson]". I mean I totally agree, but the candour is quite extraordinary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmite Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 There is definitely a bit of oomph coming into our club. We are getting tougher and smarter on the pitch and Nige is making his statement off it too. My way or the highway!. Farewell nice, soft, comfortable Bristol City.

sh1t_ref_again Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 100% behind NP, think he is a breath of fresh air to the club and the person who can take us forward. Bit surprised at the TB outburst, seems something recent happened and quite raw about it, but can't see anyway back for TB, which if he does perform really well at IT then could be a shame. As one of the few who liked TB and believed he has the potential to be a top player if he can get other parts of his game together. But no player or individual is bigger than the club, so if he does not want to be here or does not buy into what NP expects of him, then time to jog on. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YGBjammy Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 I love Pearson. Exactly the manager we've needed for so long in terms of personality and culture. Just methodically getting rid of people who aren't pulling in the same direction. He's that teacher at school who is strict but everyone respects for it. 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 3 hours ago, Sandhurst Red said: This is why Pearson is the right person for the job and patience needs to be shown. Attitude in football and dressing room culture is vital to a happy team, that is then a successful one. This mess started with Ashton and Johnson - arguably some forced on them, due to players we sold and cashed in on, but ultimately, the process of checking the players coming in was not good enough and did not look beyond their natural and potential ability. Holden walked into a ticking time bomb, with a squad of unfit, unhappy players with a few who were causing issues behind the scenes. Nige has come in - taken stock, and is slowly but surely getting rid of them, to enable the culture required to come back. Players have to do it his way, or no way. When players like Kasper Schmeichel or Matty James speak so highly of him, it is for a reason, however some of our players don't like the harsh realities being served to them behind closed doors. To his credit, Pearson always said it was a 3 year plan to convert and we are nearing the end of year 1. I've no doubt following a summer overhaul, we'll see a big difference in the next 12 months. Today is a good day for this club, and his honesty should be a further warning to those players who think they can do as they wish. Sandhurst? Red? You not Richard Gould are you? Great post btw. 3 hours ago, CliftonCliff said: Blimey! Just listened to NP's comments. Didn't pull any punches, did he? That was about as damning as anything I've ever heard a City manager say publicly about a player. Sounded pretty terminal, too. Can't see any way back from that, unless the intention is to give him a king-sized boot up the backside, but I imagine that's already been done in private, and probably more than once. I think he’s had his boots up the backside, last season, and earlier this season. What I did like was that Nige was petulant when recognising he played decently against Stoke. For me that says “has ability, has the wrong attitude”. And that’s not enough. 2 hours ago, steviestevieneville said: Completely agree. There are some that like to think NP’s a bully .

With rumours of other clubs interested (Blackpool, Hull), I would imagine any fee is a bit better than nominal, albeit not large either. My guess fwiw is £350k (what we paid for him allegedly). I hope he does ok at Ipswich because it makes him more attractive to bids in the summer.

I mean I totally agree, but the candour is quite extraordinary. Thought that too & Pearson seemed to stop himself from saying much more but my take on it was that Nagy was keen to leave, but was open & honest about it to Pearson’s face & presumably prepared to forego part of his wages with us to make it happen. No hanging around picking up wages he wasn’t earning & straightforward to deal with. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
