REDOXO Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 A new CEO inbound. Who will clearly be watching and reporting over the next few games. I don’t see the idea Pearson will be fired by SL or Gould, while the latter is a dead duck CEO, at least without the approval of the new bloke and I don’t see that until his assessments of position are complete, hence the agents tweet. The 18 or so players picked tonight know if they get on they are being watched more closely than ever. We need something from them for all of our sakes.

COYRs Do you really think that a new CEO will change how the players perform against Millwall. I think it is wishful thinking. I think they will be bullied and well beaten as normal. Nothing has changed under Pearson. Same problems unresolved week in week out. But as always I hope I am wrong.COYR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be happy with a draw tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't blame the weather for being that way in late December - it's just doing it's job. It's us that aren't doing ours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negan Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 We don’t need a win and a performance. They’ve already done that this season and then gone back to being utter dross. We need genuine change, an identity, a tighter defence, players who can keep the ball for longer than 15 seconds, CB’s in defence and not midfielders, our top scorer from last season not playing at right back. Whatever happens tonight, unless it ends with him being sacked. Nothing will change and we’ll enjoy league 1 footy next year 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can moan on Internet forums and social media, we can boo at AG,makes no difference, it is SL’s train set and he makes all the big calls. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real_bristol Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 If there’s one thing that Nige has going for him it’s his bouncebackability. I’m expecting a win tonight and the return of some togetherness between fans and players. I know for certain those that travel will be out for a good time and will get behind the team. Dare I say it, we’re happier away from home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think that a bloke with his track record would take the job without having an agreed remit which will include having a say in who is responsible to him then you really need to think again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Cyril Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 I hope they have been doing their homework for Millwall on the training ground over the last few days. For example, getting in the builders and giving them a free reign to batter our players with hobnail boots, spades and pickaxe handles. On and off the ball. Maybe recruit the partially sighted foreman to ref too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 Can't help thinking this is a bad fixture. You will need a team with guts and fight tonight which certainly wasn't there on BD. Hope I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manager may have a reporting line to the CEO and in any normal business may have the power to hire and fire however, there is no way that the new CEO will have the power at this club to fire NP, or any other first team manager without the 100% agreement of SL. And that is simply the norm in football unless the CEO is also a majority shareholder. I may have misunderstood your post and if I have I apologize but to think that the CEO of BCFC has that power is simply incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea that the new CEO will not have input “have a say” into who works for him is absurd. The remit would have been discussed as it would have been anywhere! The rest is you!

You know, like actually having shots on target? You just don't want to see it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redrascal2 Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 Very pleased to be wrong and great that we met the physical challenge. A good point at a tough venue. I do not criticise Pearson for the sake of it and defended him for a long time. And hope we get through this season successfully. But as to your comment about a lot has changed, we are three pints above relegation and to me that doesn't represent a great deal of progress since he came here.
