Barrs Court Red Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 3 minutes ago, Numero Uno said: If what you are saying is true (not doubting it based on past experience) I would be very surprised if Nige hasn't got wind of it, if you have why wouldn't he, and I wouldn't be surprised if he is saying his goodbyes very quickly. I would even doubt whether he is here at the weekend. Why would you bother to keep the seat warm for Gary Rowett or whoever in his predicament? Maybe he thinks he has enough political capital to force the confrontation- it’s pretty clear that he has the fans backing on this. His one card is this playing out publicly, and he’s played that card wonderfully. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 31 pages of this and still going. What a ******* mess. We should be talking about our 3 points Saturday. Should be talking about how nicely we’re sitting in the table currently and looking to push on with this squad. This is the most hungry, competitive squad we have had for some time and it’s all down to Nige and his playing staff. He has got the right people in, at last. Please don’t **** this up Steve. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll get a lot of support tomorrow, gives him a chance to stick the old middle finger up at Steve and then I would imagine he will be gone quickly leaving Junior to head up a vigorous recruitment process again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might jest or maybe you aren't........but Eustace and Rowett is exactly where we will be shopping. If either of those replace Nige and they don't hit the ground running Ashton Gate won't be a happy place. Nige has stabilised the club as he was asked and agreed to do - there is only one successful outcome for the next Manager and it isn't more stabilisation.

There is always a danger that when you are the blunt forthright type you may not be to everyone’s taste, especially an imagine conscious owner…. I appreciate he has mellowed with age, but Pearson ain’t no saint, from being labelled a bully by people in the media to telling fans to ‘**** off and die’ when things at Leicester turned sour. don’t get me wrong it seems he is being treated harshly here, but he ain’t the messiah that some are making out on here. The thing is, nobody is making out he’s the messiah, they just think he’s doing a good job in crap circumstances. But if you play out the notion that fans are saying that…then you can play your hand that he isn’t as a controversial statement. You’re creating controversy on something that isn’t really being said. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is exactly where we will be shopping, the difference is Eustace is a very highly rated coach who has turned down multiple championship number 1 jobs, he is a Birmingham fan, they recon they would’ve struggled to get him if he wasn’t……Rowett on the other hand isn’t appealing at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Superjack Posted October 23, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 1 minute ago, Gabriella said: Genuine question, why are you so worked up about it? You seem bereft (I’m not taking the piss). I will reply to this one. I am indeed bereft. I have followed this football club since the 80's, and very rarely in those 40+ years has any manager given me REAL belief. I can name the ones that have. Cooper, Jordan, Johnson Senior (although I never took to him), Cotterill. Now we have another. But Pearson doesn't just give me belief that he can build a path to the promised land. It's much, much more than that. Because none of the other names that I have lauded had to put right such a mess (created by the people in charge), whilst at the same time slashing the wage bill, promoting youth to the first team and frankly being given the bare minimum of support from above. And all this while the clowns upstairs talk of promotion. And having done all that, plus turning youth into multi-million pound sales, he gets the taps turned off. You can dress it up any way you like. But it is obvious to anybody who cares to look, that the Lansdowns do not like Pearson. So. We ask ourselves the question why. And in our research we look at other managers that they have fallen out with. And then we can only come to the conclusion that this pattern has nothing to do with results on the field or any ability to do the job and give the support base licence to dream, but more to do with the hierarchies insistence on adulation, subservience and the ability to interfere beyond their skillset (whatever THAT is). I hope this answers your question. Best wishes. 23 4 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think about it the longer he stays the more bitter he will become (very understandably too). That won't benefit anyone. I'm thinking he knows the writing is on the wall and he's forcing it publicly because he doesn't need to suck up to the clueless clowns who own/run our football club. All you are left with otherwise is a demotivated Manager and Coaching Staff and very quickly that transfers down to players...............as certain as night follows day that is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
