Imagine he feels like he has strong enough support of fans and staff internally to be able to publicly say this too. Brilliant, and bloody good on him imo. If they let this man leave then we deserve everything we get 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nige must be laughing at JL and how little footballing knowledge he has. The bloke should at minimum be given a years extension rolling contract to carry on where he has us. Im not having all this ‘look where hes got us after Holden’ crap either. A thin squad full of kids and very little spend and we sit 8th. Give the bloke some hard £ and see what happens. i said when he was appointed he was a very unlikely SL managerial appointment. Not a yes man. Not someone who is ‘nice’. Absolutely everything we needed. A hard b-stard who is sorting us out. What a crying shame if big Steve doesnt like it and is having second thoughts. If?

How can he keep giving his all when he , himself, doesn’t know whether he’ll benefit from his efforts ?

M.D Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 Since the last interview SL did on radio Bristol when he begged up Mark Robins and said nothing about Nike, I thought he was out the door. SL won't have anybody at the club who will stand up to him and put their views across. It his club and nobody should dare have any views/ideas that don't agree with his limited ability to run a football club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negan Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 I mean it’s one thing to delay giving Pearson a contract, maybe they have someone lined up to take over and are just waiting to see how the season pans out before making a decision, which is fair enough but to question a managers decision about players is extremely worrying. Especially if Nige knows what’s been said. Suppose it boils down to who do you trust Bristol City in the hands of more, the lansdowns or Pearson… for me it’s Nige. Not his biggest fan but he is the reason we played Coventry today and not Burton Albion. I don’t think he’s the one to get us promoted but I can’t think of anyone else who could either. Think he’s deserved atleast a 2 year extension. He’s finally got his team now, his way of playing, his philosophy is all over the club. Let him have the next 18-24 months to see is he can get us top 6. However if this season ends with Nige getting us in the top 12 and he’s let go, think it’s the beginning of the end for the lansdowns here. Feels like it’s been going that way for a while now. All well and good pumping money in to the club and us having to be thankful for it but let’s be honest, them getting it so wrong on multiple occasions is the main reason they’ve had too. This could very well be the beginning days of the end. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuffle Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 Now I haven’t been Pearson biggest fan and was one of those calling for his dismissal after West Brom game on Boxing Day. I can admit I was wrong. He’s significantly reduced our costs and worked with handcuffs on due to Lansdown tightening the purse strings. We have a club that has players who want to be here and fight for the shirt and a clear style of play & a pathway for academy. The fans are united behind Pearson so it would be so Lansdown like to shoot us in the foot by not extending his contract. I’ll always support this club as it’s mine and yours (despite our owners thoughts)and whilst I’ll be grateful to Lansdown for investment in infrastructure just let common sense prevail and give him a new contract. I fear from Pearson words that he knows he won’t get that and that is suicidal from a football perspective. Lansdown is in huge damage of people forgetting all the good & be remembered as the man who couldn’t be challenged or see sense when faced with a football decision. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolman Block B Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 You can tell by NP after match comments he wants to stay here He knows he’s probably close to something he achieved at Leicester FFS Mr Lansdown Extend his contract 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 9 minutes ago, redkev said: Are the Lansdowns becoming the Glaziers No, because they don't take major dividends out of the club. I wouldnt compare to the Glazers but this Pearson stance is disgraceful both in terms of the lack of new contract and the tiny expenditure post Scott. A thin squad and a number of first teamers themselves young and or relatively inexperienced in Championship terms. That bench today wow- and it would have been worse if Knight wasn't so whole hearted and perhaps couldn't have featured even in the 20. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyBrotherErnie Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 Pearson is more than right to be angry. He got brought in to do a job (with clear expectations and constraints) and has performed very well. Now those above him in the hierarchy won't even respect him enough to have a proper conversation about the future. Embarrassing from the Lansdowns, and we'd fully deserve the chaos that would ensue if we got rid of Pearson and his approach now. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
