Ivorguy Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 Anyone else concerned that Pearson sounds a bit browned off losing Scott and might walk if new funds aren’t provided. He himself seemed to have been kept in the dark as to whether he will have funds. A real test of SL’s commitment to club’s progression 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P'head Red Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 I think NP has been in the game long enough to realistically expect that we would lose Scott this summer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 The question you have to ask is whether Nige was more short and spiky about being asked questions he was never going to give a full answer to than he normally is. The answer to that is no. Hes cheesed off at losing Scott, we all are, but people trying to make it into a melodrama seem to forget who we’ve had in charge for the last three years! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listened to both post match interviews last night . He didn’t seem upset at all . Guarded yes but not upset. He knows how football works better than most . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 If Pearson leaves due to one transfer then he’s not really got the backbone to see this job through anyway. Not that he will leave of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRedRobin Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 He is 100% annoyed as shown by his interviews last night. Right now he is going nowhere I am very confident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 I think he`s just angry about losing Alex even though it was inevitable. Tommy`s social media announcement re his injury didn`t help either - he was definitely spiky about that pre - match. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middsie Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 Nothing to see here IMO. He's bound to be a bit frustrated by this week. Not a great performance on Saturday coupled with the injury to TC plus now Scott leaving (though I suspect he always knew that keeping him in this window was going to be a bit of a stretch).

Hardly surprising, managing news on Conway should be down to the club, crisis perception increases fees if you go to the market. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 On the subject of Conway and Pearson... I was in the Lower Lansdown on Saturday , Tommy started warming up probably around the 55 min mark. By the 65th min he had stopped with his hands on his hips literally staring down Pearson from a far. I guess annoyed that he wasn't already on the pitch No doubt nothing but it was really interesting to see, I quite liked the arrogant attitude I perceived it to be.

Monkeh Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 Why would he be angry, he's known since January that the most likely scenario was Scott would be sold, He's probably upset at losing his best player, who wouldn't be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowie Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 Nope. It's just Nigel Pearson trying to be Nigel Pearson Much greater than Lee Johnson trying to be Pep Guardiola 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numero Uno Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 Unlike a few fans on here I'm sure that Pearson doesn't walk round with his head up his arse and then react emotively when things happen. If he's pissed off at Scott leaving so be it but it's not anything he didn't know would happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon bristol Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 We all knew scott would be leaving this summer,,, for pearson to suggest now hes not happy and doesnt know what the bid was is another of his white lies,,,, he clearly knows exactly whats going on and what we have to spend!

Numero Uno Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 I think some of our very wholesome fan base would be better off finding a new hobby if they don't like a people in football being economical with or stretching the truth in line with their job description to act and work for the benefit of the club................ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossi the Robin Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 He did say he wouldn’t be happy if Scott not sold for the right amount or similar words Maybe that’s what it is and Bournemouth are getting a cut price deal Unlikely we will ever know entirely as will be undisclosed Fleming doing the media press conference today as well but trying not to look too much into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjak Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 NP is enough of a pragmatist to understand the situation....however I genuinely believe that he thought Scott would be staying until at least the next window. His philosophy is that you don't sell your best players if you wish to be successful? It is extraordinarily sad that we have sold our best 2 players, when he wants to build a side to compete at the top, and I do not blame him for being pissed off. Bristol City have now acquired the reputation of being a selling club, whether we like it or not? You constantly see it on this forum?, that as soon as a talent emerges, all every one talks about is how much he is worth? As if it's a game of Football manager? And now as we move forward, we need to retain our best players as we are now relatively financially secure, and NP needs to be given at least some of transfer treasure chest to recruit some talent, so as to at least prove to the loyal fans, who are the life blood of this club............. that we have ambition beyond being the feeder club for Bournemouth F C? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it does at least look around £25m in total or he will be cheesed off in my view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 Listening to Peps conferance this lunch time. He said he's not involved if a player wants to leave or an offer has come in. Thats between the player and the board. Of course if he wants the player to stay he will try his hardest. But at the end of the day it is between player and board, and he just has to get on with it. Thats what Nigel will do, thats football. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calculus Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 Grauniad reporting that a £25m package has been agreed. No idea what that means, but if it includes future sell ons, or event-based payments (appearances, avoiding relegation etc) then I can well understand Nige been more than a bit annoyed. Who knows?
