People are finally seeing Pearson's multiple failures as a manager because the people defending him can't really fall back on it being Johnson and Ashton's fault any more No. The fault lies further up. Which you refuse to see. 7 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviestevieneville Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 1 hour ago, Jerseybean said: I’m seeking some genuine clarification via this post please. As it happens yesterday the forum was unavailable then today it’s full of rumours and conspiracies about the demise of Nigel Pearson. These are the two primary questions I have, what has happened and why has it happened now? I’m aware that some people have linked the failure to secure Adam Murphy and the fact that LJ is now unemployed to the rumors that NP is to be shown in the door, but I really don’t get it and would appreciate anybody helping me to do so. In a nutshell when IMO he has done such a solid job in creating a sustainable and professional culture, cut the wage bill, recruited wisely and on a limited budget, developed young players, and so on, would we ever want to replace him with somebody else? The only explanation I have to why this would happen would be if he didn’t want to continue when his current contract expires. Perhaps I am missing the point big time but I would really appreciate any insights into why these rumors are so rife at this particular time. Thank you in anticipation. Imo , conspiracy theories & rumours created on here due to a bit of uncertainty , created by a poor start at home . Plus there seems to some frustration that we’re not in for any new players when it’s pretty clear we still need a couple . The shambles with the kits probably hasn’t helped , we also know SL has been talking to prospective buyers . mix all that together and this is what we get. A couple more poor results & I can see some fans turning. But it’ll turn on the lansdowns this time . But we all know what happens when the board has pressure put on it. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that it is less due to the uncertainty and more due to the owner's history. But other than that, I think your post is pretty spot on.

Numero Uno Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 I think it’s very likely that Nige is in his final season with us. I don’t see him doing anything other than a professional job in terms of the playing side but interviews will get more and more interesting as the season goes on. It’s then over to Steve, John and Phil to come up with another one of the clubs cunning plans. In fact we’d be better off leaving it to ******* Baldrick to pick our next Manager in my view…….. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Rich Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 I just don't get this level of reaction after 4 league games and 6 games total. It's crazy! If you really think the performances and results after that number of games are indicative of how the whole season will play out then 1. I think you are wrong, but 2. You should also be considering how the teams we have played are doing. Preston, we drew - they are 5th (joint on points with the team in 2nd). If they had beaten us they would be joint top. Oxford Utd, we won - they are top of the league 1 and we beat them 5-1 Millwall, we won - they are 11th and 1 point ahead of us. Birmingham, we lost - they are 3rd (joint on points with the team in 2nd). - we were terrible in this game Hull, we drew - they are 8th 2 points ahead of use and 3 off second place. - We should have won this game - their own fans thought we could have had 3-4 goals. Norwich, we lost they are 2nd. Our three worst performances are against the team's joint 2nd and one of those we drew. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to play devil's advocate, this early in the season, one of the reasons that they are joint second is because they did well against us. But yes. Bedwetters out early.

The people who enjoy moaning are out in force as they always would be but I get the impression that there are a fair few more balanced posters who were looking forward to this season, heard the comments from our Owner recently and the poor form is not helping the general mood around the place. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC RISK77 Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 Whilst I have been underwhelmed by Pearson performance and entertainment wise since his appointment, what is without doubt is his professionalism, he seems to be the face of Bristol City at the moment, appears to have minimal backing, and is fronting our club pretty much single handidly. I remember the first few years of back in the championship and in particular the season we beat Man Utd, and Steve and Jon Lansdown made regular appearances on Sky sports and local news and seemed to enjoy the limelight they were getting. They appear to have left Pearson to front it out on his own which is very poor form. 12 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why he will only back managers that are less popular with the fanbase than himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
