"I think it would have been brilliant to have had the national anthem ringing around Ashton Gate." I'm sure that would be the view of most if not all managers especially as DCMS said postponements were not necessary. I'm convinced the motive was distrust of fans, given the disdain we usually get from the football authorities. It was clear to any sensible person (ie anybody other than the incompetents running the game) that postponements would be inevitable next weekend so they have created a further problem that was avoidable. The Queen was 96 yet rather than having a contingency plan for the inevitable they hurriedly convened a meeting and equally inevitably got it wrong. The usual p1ss up and brewery combination then. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experienced, skilled, knowledgeable…knows how to manage people, different types of people….and how to motivate / empower them to manage others and themselves. Still some way to go, but he must be delighted at the culture he’s creating / created so far. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nige really is a proper manager and my view on his way to becoming the best in the last 40 years. He’s already level with Danny Wilson in my managerial gauge and so far Nige hasn’t won anything either 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with all of that & obvious to say but when NP leaves us might be a factor in who is next. From the outside I don’t get the impression Curtis Fleming is desperate to be a manager & at present Andy King (“player coach” or not) has no experience at all. If it was to be an internal appointment Euell currently seems by far the most likely, but if we are talking a few years away Euell might have moved on to become a manager elsewhere by then & King could be a coach only, of course. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Nigel Pearson has been the best since he arrived. ashton left us in an unpredictable bloody mess.

City aren’t looking to replace Nige just yet Graham and when he eventually leaves City no doubt it’ll be on his own terms. Whoever takes over from him will have a tough act to follow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
