The more I think about it the more I agree with it.

Popular Post bearded_red Posted October 23, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 Don’t worry, we’ll revert to a proper manager again in a few years to get us out the mire that the next few Lansdown approved lickspittle losers put us in. The football club owner equivalent of Sideshow Bob repeatedly stepping on a rake. Sell up and get gone. 18 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolman Block B Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 Personally will be gutted if NP leaves even worse if the owners get rid. You can’t knock the blokes efforts and the squad have become strong and hard to beat and play some great football at times. I want the guy to stay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This site would be pretty boring if everyone agreed on everything - it's what makes it a lively and interesting. And you really can't just call people trolls and direct these sort of comments at them simply because they disagree with your views.

Alessandro Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 For me Nigel is not the Messiah - but he has earned and deserves far more respect than he is getting from the club. Why are we in a better/good position as a club, largely because of him. Why is our future looking optimistic again on the financial and playing side, largely because of him. For me he’s earned the right to continue in the role, be publicly supported through his recovery and, all being well on that front, be fully backed financially. However, if he goes, I’m a Bristol City, not Nigel Pearson fan - so…if we make an exciting appointment, get in a cracking CEO and even a new head of performance for example to work alongside Tinnion and use these foundations to go up another level, I’m ultimately happy with that. My fear is that is not going to happen, I have absolutely no trust that we won’t see another Holden-esque appointment and so begins another failed SL experiment, decline and all these foundations NP has put in place will wash away in the tide. Why fix what’s not broken? But maybe SL can prove us wrong…time will tell, maybe he will make the right appointment and actually seriously, I mean, top 6 seriously back them. But we’ve been here before haven’t we?! New manager, same expectations, same average budgets, same old issues behind the scenes. Same old underachieving City with one common denominator holding on and holding us back… 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 87 Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) The ignore button really calms this thread down a bit . it seems the writing is on the wall - probably the most nonsensical sacking in recent history (assuming it happens).

Popular Post ciderwithtommy Posted October 23, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 Ok so if Pearson goes, rennie goes, king goes I would imagine - with a budget being cut, and players who joined and are committed to Nige (James specifically) - SL and co should be aware that if they do this, it could end very, very badly. It’s a huge risk. I work at a demanding company, some of my colleagues I don’t really like, but I know their value. You don’t have to be mates, in fact it can help when you are not. My 2 pence, he will appoint a more subservient coach, and back them with the funds which would have enabled nige to get us ti the top 6. The new coach won’t achieve it, and we will have wasted another 3 years. 29 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively, that big pot of money from the Scott sale is being deliberately saved for the new guy - in which case we can upgrade significantly, both in terms of quality and numbers.
