Apparently they think the club belongs to them. I assume Steve has accepted their offer then. Reminds me if when the crusties used to chant "Whose streets...our streets" even though none of them had ever paid Road tax! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Robin Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Rather than these demonstrators, the next 4 or 5 games will dictate Pearson's future. If we underperform and drop into the relegation zone, I think he will be sacked. But if we win a few and climb up the table to relative safety, his job will be secured. As a City fan wanting us to do well, I hope it's the latter. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodjias Wrist Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) Until i read this I forgot how toxic it got with LJ and SL, i started watching 98/99 but can't remember it being anywhere near as bad. I always thought up until that point we were too lenient on managers but I guess with the time we gave him compared to what other clubs would its no wonder. With reference to LJs tenure I remember Wigan away i think it was where there was over 1k of us there and some lads chanting "Johnsons S*** bounce around the ground, bounce around the ground Got loads of laughs.

xerox6060 Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 9 hours ago, Mr Popodopolous said: It seems unnecessary, the two away performances were a decent reaction as was the 2nd half v Swansea. Our ambitions for the season realistically are staying up, continuing to cut the wage bill and if we have to sell in January getting as good a price as possible and reinvesting as much as FFP will allow. That is about it. Clearly results need to improve but performances at home anyway have been mostly alright IMO. Where we have let ourselves down is our tendency to concede the odd appalling goal. 2 v Stoke were terrible, less said about the error yesterday the better. West Brom opener, oh they took it well but Vyner was badly off the pace! Seem to recall Millwall winner was very weak to concede not that we necessarily deserved anything. We have to make opposition goals hard earned however. Wouldn't be bothered if Nige left, but agree stay up and reduce the wage bill was the way I saw this year too...only concern for me is there a lot of decisions and reshaping to be done for next season ..is Nige the man to make them..

That there is a demonstration against Nigel Pearson planned for Saturday's game. Strikes me as not needed and crazy. We need to show unity at present.

"Fans not customers" but they're acting like a bunch of Karen's at the supermarket customer service desk, pissed that the pineapple cottage cheese is out of stock whilst the rest of the general public have their trolleys full of ASDA yellow brand products trying to survive in a changed world. Deluded, lily livered cowards. Not the people we need in a fight, that's for sure. I wonder if they've already exhausted all other means of making their point? Presumably they've already written to the club, emailed Gould, contacted the SC&T to see if they can use that channel of communication, written to the club's lawyers, maybe delivered a petition or manifesto detailing the changes they'd like to see...or have they just gone straight to the march? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? I'm not personally unhappy and would still vote "Pearson in" but there are many reasons for being unhappy with the way the club has been and is being run and people are entitled to express their displeasure. That the Lansdown family has covered the losses and regularly writes off the debt to themselves by converting it equity is laudable but that doesn't make the question of where, and to what reward, all of that money has been spent go away. The new infrastructure is great but the return in terms of the performance on the pitch, compared to the many tens of millions expended, subsequent to the Cotts' promotion season is very questionable indeed. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
