Please , please , please why comments are made about no trust in Pearson, no trust in his coaching staff etc is there not a suggestion put forward. If an opinion is the manager needs to go then whoever has that view must have an idea of who to bring in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether you are pro or anti Pearson, someone suggesting Dyche or Wilder just reveals you are completely delusional. Suggesting the likely candidates like the ex FRG chap sacked by Watford or Jason Euell shows that you understand the difficult circumstances we currently operate in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct , if you make a statement bloke I would sack Pearson you need a solution , whilst we may not have a final say in the decision we all have an opinion. IF Pearson goes for me we’re looking at a candidate like Ainsworth, based on what he did with Wycombe on a small budget which we’re working with. Can you imagine the reaction if he or someone similar came in as our manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liken this period to Dicks' time in charge. Bugger all money to spend, but the eventual creation of a sound recruitment policy and a flourishing youth set up reaped promotion to Division One. We'll just have to be patient. Edited October 23, 2022 by Curr Avon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheltons Army Posted October 23, 2022 Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 I keep listening wondering whether either of the two assistants actually react to Ian Gay speaking to them like a couple of irrelevant laccys As usual we get at least one ‘ Don’t interrupt Mark ‘.....before he talks across and interrupts both for the whole and every pod The level of Rudeness and arrogance is priceless ’I could produce better set pieces in an hour’ Other than car crash appeal , it’s only worth listening to for content , when Neil , Les or Fevs are involved Good hour of rants though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll just have to be patient. I agree with your comments above and the Dicks period was before my time. On the podcast somebody said Pearson should have been sacked last season and should be sacked now. Another on the panel challenged the person who made the comment but was not given a reply One thing I would agree with , is the comfy culture at the club.

I think if you have a view of replacing someone then it isn’t unreasonable to say ‘x’ as a replacement. If you believe there should be a change , then you must have a solution ? But agree the Lansdowns picking a new manager is a dread!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a group of people at Ashton Gate whose job it is to plan for the future, that should include having a plan if the manager leaves or is sacked. As a fan I can say what I want but it’s irrelevant. We have a very narrow view of who might be available or achievable. I’m not advocating it but for years Watford have changed their manager sometimes several times a season. It hasn’t done them much harm. I wonder how many of their fans would have predicted their managers. Prior to their Premiere League promotions they were a club of similar size as us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So suggesting we draw a correlation between the two different eras is faintly absurd IMHO, maybe we should just re - recruit Mr Dicks, i mean he is only 88 years old?

But that is why on a forum or a pod, if you word it like…”I would like us to go and get someone like [insert name] because….x, y, and z]” then you give credibility to why you might want Pearson gone. If your inserted name is Dyche, Moyes, etc, your credibility is lost too. Someone progressive like, Paul Warne (now Derby), Liam Rosenior, Matt Taylor (now Rotherham), etc, shows you have a grasp of the situation / reality. Someone like Nigel Pearson, an experienced manager, out of work to continue a rebuild, shows you have a grasp of the situation / reality. Dyche is not who I’m thinking of here, he’s still PL capable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of Action Man Posted October 23, 2022 Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 Don’t get the bashing of FBC at all really on this forum. I think Mark and Neil are normally a good listen. Davefevs brings a different perspective, and having Chris Honour come on the previous pod was a welcome voice and opinion. Ian is not to everyone’s tastes, and the episodes where it’s just him and Dave P (which are fairly rare) aren’t as engaging I find. But in general it’s my go to of the 3 fans podcasts that are out there. Dave P does a good job of hosting. It’s the most of the 3 pods which is like a fans phone in and I quite like that 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because you are as negative as them Theres no debate with the main 3 Its Ian Gays broadcast , whilst being constantly rude and obnoxious ,whilst Dave tries to keep some control and if Mark speaks he regularly gets told not to interrupt or gets talked over Edited October 23, 2022 by Sheltons Army 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
