Edgy Red Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 I think this thread shows how frustrated we've become as Bristol City supporters. Most genuine fans realise that the current managers position is tough, but even the most ardent Nige followers must admit that his 12 months have been underwhelming. Nobody knows how the next 12 months will pan out but i fear it won't get a whole lot better. The sad thing is that clubs like Luton, Preston, Millwall and Coventry continue to punch above their weight while we seem to be constantly treading water. As for Cotterill, i think he's doing a decent job at a small club in a big pond... but thats a discussion for another day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson used his barge pole on us and he has a superior record according to many. Perhaps Holloway, after all he got a team promoted to the Premier League years ago.

So NP since 2015 sacked by 4 clubs, is a good choice to stick on a long term contract then? or maybe he was one of a few who were out of a job/would come here; just because Seb Coe was a great athlete once doesnt mean he is now.

Stay up was the priority- I’d say 80% would have been happy with that considering the circumstances. Should be even more since the financial figures were released. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly believe that if we sacked Pearson tomorrow the line up to replace him would be worse than many people imagine. My guess is we’d end up with Mike Flynn or Curtis Fleming…….., 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See my reply to @gl2…… On a serious note- I've said in other posts that Nige a)accepted a poison chalice b) has clearly done some good However, I remain of the opinion that he should go at the season's end. He's presided over an unacceptable set of results in 1 1/2 seasons and can't win a back to back game . Which is pitiful. Maybe he is just very unlucky. Absolutely no one on here can change my opinion- there is only one person that can and that's Nigel himself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 A bizarre thread title after a good result and spirited performance today. I think 3 year plan in some ways was optimistic. It wouldn't surprise me if next season has similarities to this season although from Barnsley at home to present the home form has been much improved. That's a useful foundation. Then... A fit Tanner, Atkinson, Williams, Scott, Semenyo. All of them have room to grow, age wise. DaSilva, Pring, Benarous too but these players haven't missed much this season, unlike a few of the above. Also might depend on how many of Massengo, Scott, Semenyo we can retain and if one has to go, how much of the fee can we safely give NP on wages and fees while remaining within FFP. Lots of variables but why today would provoke that reaction is a bit unusual. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrongagain Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Todays draw was not down to NP - once again it was the EFL and their ****king useless officials! In extra time the initial pass into the box was offside, confirmed by the Sky/Quest replay! Let’s not get into the debate about the pens we should have got! Todays result was robbery! - BIG team favoured from kick off! I would question Martins extension though! 24 minutes before he touched the ball today! Countless punts up to him and he failed to connect with any of them up to that time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHIPLEY RED Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 2 hours ago, glynriley said: So what’s the answer? Sack NP, pay off his contract and appoint a new man. Welcome to Bristol City, you haven’t got a penny to spend, but the OTIB brigade insist that you make a silk purse out of a sows ear… Good luck. Sorry I've not been very clear. Saying give any manager the first 10 games of next season is almost saying you don't believe he is the right manager and his days are numbered. I think you either sack before the summer so a new man has pre season and a chance to shape the team or have faith and back the manager without a 10 game deadline. I think the keep NP but see what its like after 10 games next season is like saying I don't want to sack the manager yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
