Capman Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 20 minutes ago, And Its Smith said: Ultimately football fans are fickle. If the new guy improves us then it will be Nige who for a lot of people Maybe but I am sorry I think that misses the point. It is pretty clear to me that this decision was made for non football reasons. It is about the ego of the chairman of the board and Pearson being prepared to stand up to him and call it out. No successful organisation can run itself like that. No one is always right and Pearson, the fans and everyone else has to have the right to challenge those in power without fear of persecution. Once that is lost the organisation as a whole is in deep trouble. JL and the board clearly cannot accept criticism will need to either change or go. No manager of substance will put up with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Also do you realise how well respected Pearson was/is, if someone who didn’t give his son a chance in the first team and also was happy to release him, is still fighting his corner? 13 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massively helpful when coming on to this which is getting to lunacy stage What you doing on here? This is a footy forum. As this season is not over yet, step away. A prolonged break will do you good. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coach Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Playing highlights of Nigel Pearson interviews. From his first to many more during his time here.

Comment , club will still have the same problems whether I’m here or not time will tell if he’s proven right , but like his comment of Scott playing for England , he’ll be right on two occasions 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see that one coming. This sad saga is full of surprises. I'm sure there must be a good reason. I hope they're okay. If they're unwell, perhaps they should be encouraged to leave on medical grounds. Only suggesting this because we care as much about their well-being as they did about Nigel's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cidre Monita Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 20 hours ago, Kid in the Riot said: At this point, I'd just settle for "respect for the fanbase", if I'm honest. And that means progressing the sale of the club as quickly as he can because he demonstrably lacks the energy and fresh ideas to take the club forward. I don’t think it’s anything to with energy, or ideas. I’ve thought for a while now that SL is a whack job. I don’t think he has any intention of selling up and enjoys his god-like status at the gate with his sycophants lips attached firmly to his backside. Will he continue to gaslight us about being in ‘talks’ with potential suitors? Been talking a long, long time Stevo! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
