AshtonRobin21 Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 As it stands, Nige probably has 1/2 games to save his job. No chance we start adding to the back room staff now. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or will he sack one of Euell or Fleming to bring in the latest “his man”? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Doubt his ego would allow it. If Pearson bought him in now he’d be admitting he needs help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still have less coaches in the current team than what LJ had at any point. Former had two assistants. No reason not to have more than 2 coaches.

I think that the same as Euell, Fleming and Mountain? Holden also had the same structure. In fact Pat Mountain is the only constant. Perhaps he’s the issue?

Getting the most out of this current batch of players should feature highly on that remit I would have thought. If he is getting the most out of them, we're in big trouble I would suggest.

Jeez Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Something he & the club should seriously consider. By far the most affordable option of adding new ideas without throwing the baby out with the bath water. My gut is he’s probably past the point of turning anything around here without reinforcements in coaching & players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance we start adding to the back room staff now. I think it would depend on the manner of the defeats, an odd goal loss (& boy we’ve had plenty of those) & I don’t think he’s in the same sort of danger yet, as I think it was the 6-0 at Watford that effectively sank Holden. 7 hours ago, And Its Smith said: Doubt his ego would allow it. If Pearson bought him in now he’d be admitting he needs help He’s said before he’s his best mate in football, so I don’t think he would have any issue at all with bringing him in, apart from the fact it would surely spell the end for Fleming & I don’t see him being prepared to do that to another mate. Euell only joined last summer so he wouldn’t be leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 I'd have loved this even three months ago, but I feel Pearson's ship has sailed now. Football is fickle though, say we beat Millwall and Coventry (big ask), maybe that'll buy time that allows Pearson to bring in a new coach. I dunno. Gut says Pearson's tenure is all but up.

Yep, agree and it’s a big call for the Lansdown’s on Shakespeare (if he even wanted to come!) Do you continue placing your chips on Pearson or try and cut your loses with a completely new regime? Marginally, the former for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazooka Joe Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 A few on here think appointing Shakespeare to the coaching staff would be a Bard decision. They fear it wouldn't be a case of "All's well that ends well", Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh1t_ref_again Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 If the powers to be have real concern over NP's future, then they cannot employ another coach as any incoming manager is likely to want their own backroom staff, but that does not mean he could not be given a short term contact or paid as a consultant, if things work out in the short term for NP then could be offered a normal contract, assuming NP feels he needs him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've spent most of their careers working together, I don't see why he wouldn't want to work with him again.. For what its worth, I think its a no go from a financial point of view and would CS really want to come here? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
