Popular Post DaveInSA Posted February 4, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) After an unbeaten run in January. And a win up at Deepdale against the shitehousing Preston. This, together with an unremarkable transfer window means that I believe it’s time for Pearson to step down. We’re starting to look too good and are defending well as a unit, while at the same time scoring freely. He’s taken us as far as he can and I think it’s time we got a hungry young manager in to take over.

Pickle Rick Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 Let’s not forget the increase of player value (assets), the successful use of the academy, lowering the wage bill and giving us competitive football (results or not) all with a smaller squad. Name a better person for the job. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2015 Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 Preston were a horrible side and don't play their best player - Daniel Johnson. A really physical, long ball side and their attempts to rile our players in the 2nd half whilst going unpunished was pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 Should have gone after the Stoke game, don’t know why we were waiting until the New Year. Pretty sure the oracle on City said so at the time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.J.Thribb Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 I’ve always backed him until the Boxing Day shitshow v WBA, when I felt he’d lost the dressing room. Since then he’s made me eat my words, and for that he deserves the axe 3 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 I'm happy to say I've never wanted him out. (That's not to say I'm never wrong, I stuck with Johnson when in hindsight it was clear the rot had set in!) I've met him whilst he's been manager and it was absolutely clear he had a great long term vision. That included a scenario where we lost one or both of Scott and Semenyo. I jokingly told him not to let the pair of them leave, to which he replied "if they leave, we'll replace them and the level up the team". This was a last season, and that seems to have finally come to fruition now as Mehmeti looks a brilliant talent and adding Cornick will prove very shrewd I think. Assuming both have ultimately been funded by Semenyo - overall the squad does look stronger. I trust him to do the same with Scott if/when he leaves for big money in the summer. He may have come to us at exactly the right time - he needed to have a degree of autonomy that he wouldn't have had under Ashton. I doubt he'd have joined if Ashton was still here. It's clear he has a strong working relationship with Gould and Tinnion. I think actually, at this stage of his managerial career, he may enjoy the challenge of it. He's spent a fair amount of time at clubs with big resources for their relative level (namely Leicester in the Championship) and this represents a totally different kind of challenge. I bet he's relishing all the success he's enjoying with our academy. 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BasSavage88 Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 He changed something we all knew weeks ago needed to happen and it's worked Ill enjoy the run whilst it lasts but still don't think he's quick enough to adapt when teams find us out and adapt against us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 Pearson has worked wonders without throwing loads of money on highly paid from clubs like Chelsea. He's used the Academy lads who deserve to play on ability. He's brought in mostly from lower divisions, who are ambitious and working hard. Very good man management. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 This is the benefit of recruiting a manager with a proven calibre and experience. It buys time a younger coach would never have had - both with the fans and the board. The discontent was growing but never reached a point of no return. It would have done much sooner with a less respected name. Now we are starting to reap the benefits. Intriguing to see what he will do in the summer and next season if Scott goes for mega money and Pearson gets to spend it… 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
