Let’s be honest he was never really wanted in the first place.

[REDOXO]

It’s pretty obvious to me that Pearson heard the jungle drums beating in management circles he was under threat! Hence the last couple of weeks. 
 

I am numb right now. I can not believe what is going on! 
 

Rumours of nastiness inside the club toward club employees, a faceless majority shareholder, supported by a playboy son, all after the two of them backed the midget with millions!

This guy has built a team and an ethic with a fraction of the resources and has fell foul of these people in an identical way to Steve Cotterill. 
 

Backwater club ran by idiots!

Agreed

[W-S-M Seagull]

Rennie leaving too is such a huge loss. 

For the first time I'm forever we had two guys that had professionalised the footballing side and what do the Lansdowns do? Get rid. 

Absolutely disgusting. 

[City_USA]

Absolutely disgraceful from the board and ultimately the owners.

SL has always made it clear that he feels that it's his club and he'll do what he likes.

Well, guess what  it is OUR CLUB and you're a temporary custodian. 

How I wish that we could be a fan owned club along and not be the play thing of a rich billionaire.

 

[Chivs]

So,so happy about this. Like, I expect, the majority of City fans. 

We could now appoint a fantastic manager, or a crap one. Probably the latter. 

But it won't be Pearson, so that's good. 

[Shauntaylor85]

Could have saved the club a lot of money if they had just backed him in the summer! I’m sure the pay out money will be on a par for another CB/CM! 

[Selred]

I am fuming at this. It doesn’t make any sense. 
 

The Lansdowns are under more criticism than ever before, whilst Nigel was well loved by fans. There was no need to sack him, all it’s done is stoke the fire. 
 

Who is actually advising them that we could achieve promotion with this squad? How are they that deluded? 
 

I was expecting progression this season, and that’s what we’ve seen. A young squad whose been hampered by injuries, but on the right track.

Now we have a whole fan base fuming with the board (do we even have a board anymore?), no manager, no CEO, no communication. It’s a real shambles.

Think I know who you are talking about.

If it is, he allegedly was the reason why Danny Wilson left.

**** off Steve and Jon Lansdown, you stupid *****.

What a sad spineless family we’ve got running our club 

[Street red]

F****** joke!!!

[Mr Popodopolous]

I am assuming they, even our leaders ie board wouldn't be stupid enough to view top 2 as attainable.. Perhaps they saw playoffs as the target, and winning these.

Still a ridiculous and disgraceful decision though.

[Red Ferret]

A Tory making a bad decision that benefits himself but no one else? Surely not!

That is the most ridiculous reason to give.  Suggest Nige gets legal advice re constructive dismissal.

This is such a generic comment from any board, simply insert a name. I am so effing angry with them, i hope it’s toxic next game, not like they will care.

Protest at the next rugby game and then maybe one of them will be there to hear it!

[winsaw]

In the long line of crazy choices made by the fool who owns our club this has to be the worst we are truly a shambles,

and then to try to make it look in the statement like they are doing us a favour when they are the ones who have run the club into the ground and got the squad down to the bones is beyond a joke, 

I never really hated Lansdown until today but that's now changed for me will not be happy until he's sold us

[myol'man]

Sounds like they have been desperately waiting for back to back defeats.

Jon Lansdown is now an embarrassment to this club.

And as for SL, you have achieved the square root of **** all 

[Nogbad the Bad]

The Lansdowns will know full well the fans were overwhelmingly behind Nige but they clearly don't give a shit about us or what we think.

The players would have enormous respect and trust in Nige and no doubt they are gutted too - it's back to square one with an inferior yes man and very likely downhill from here.

Disgusting decision, absolutely furious.

 

[nellie]

awful decision **** everyone in charge

If we were fan owned, we'd all be penniless and living on the streets trying to fund the annual losses.

I'm going to buck the trend and say good. I've nothing against him but we were not going anywhere under him either .

Those of you who want nothing more than perennial survival, i understand why you are upset.  But frankly I would rather we took a gamble on someone new.  If we go down, that's too bad.. but it's just a game. We'll come back. And if we get it right, we might just be able to push for something special

Tin-hat on here but to an extent i agree, he's had getting on for three years and the football is as poor now as when he took over, the likes of Hull, PNE Blackburn and now even Cardiff are passing us by with very little money spent by their up and coming young managers, i get the terrible injury list he has had to put up with this season (and to an extent the lack of funds from management) but it was no better last year even while we had the two wonder kids and less of an injury list, who can forget those woeful away performances at Swansea, Cardiff, Brum and Reading ? 

I know i'm very must in the minority so will keep my head down for a few hours. 

[The Gasbuster]

Disgraceful decision.

Words fail me.

Another two huge steps backwards for this club. When will they ever learn ?

Yep, fan owned clubs are always condemned to the lower leagues
