Interesting if true

Bounce cat dead 1For.
And then count the number next season, if as you put it, 'the shambles left by LJ & co'.

 

ahhh $hit then good enough, then $hit..............now I see how it works

 

I'll speak to your Matron

 

I also could never see Pearson as an Ashton choice so if the rumours are true then I would praise Lansdown for getting us a manager that has the necessary experience. If indeed Ashton is on his way then I hope that would free up Pearson to supposedly report direct to Lansdown (whichever) and in time tell him the truth as to why we are constant under achievers and never seem to get things right.

Pearson does come with a bit of a reputation for some not so nice things but at least he won't stand for any guff, and I would like him to educate our owner in the finer points of building a competitive team that will show up mentally and physically for every game. The current bunch had better start performing for their supper because I don't think it will take Pearson long to sort out the wheat from the chaff.

I just hope the rumours are true and I can understand the other side of our quest by seeing that Howe wants to bide his time for a Premier team - and why not?

 

Lets hope that Pearson will be able to replicate success with a so say poor squad (some would say) as LJ did left behind by SC and keep us clear from the drop
IMO....If true regarding Pearson, I believe this will go one of two ways...........either one of the best decisions by BCFC in decades or a utter and total disaster....I really can't call it, which way it will go.......one can only pray!!

 

If true it’s just what we need, agree it could go wrong , but a very bold move by SL, at least he’s tried

 

He is a manager with 'real' achievements on his CV, with 2 promotions to the prem and at the time of his sacking at Watford he had the best points per game ratio in Watfords history.

Nothing is of course guaranteed but I think he is just exactly what is needed in this time in our history. Hopefully sort some of the lazy gutless pussies in squad out, get some passion back in our game and just get us to safety and if he ruffles Ashton's feathers into the bargain and shows SL what might be possible with a coach with proper pedigree and if he achieves that and he can be persuaded to stay, then he can start the process of shipping out much of the deadwood in our squad, then it will all be worth it.

I bet one or two in the squad are already ****ting themselves.

I think he is absolutely the best person for the predicament that we presently find ourselves in.

 

"Utter total disaster?" that happened in August with another cheap option.

And it is a poor squad, especially in midfield, we haven't been scoring goals for a year now 50 goals from the last 52 games, tells you everything that you need to know about our problems, if the strikers were actually missing chances, it would be different but they are not, we are simply not creating any for them, I cannot recall the last gilt edged chance that we missed, can you?.

 

Let’s hope this is true - but let’s also hope that he doesn’t let his son anywhere near our club.

 

It will probably be a deal like McCarthy at Cardiff. Where come season end it will be thanks for securing our status / getting us to play offs (Cardiff) here’s your three year deal. None of this do you want to stay.

 

Gasheads not happy with the Joey Barton appointment due soon. No idea why

 

It wouldn’t surprise me if it was Pearson’s idea, I can’t see him staying if we are relegated

 

On the whole NP has done a good job at all the clubs he’s been at.
Sorted out Hull City when he was with us, even though he was hampered by the clown shoes in charge, who ultimately caused him to return to Leicester.
Made us difficult to play against (14 consecutive away games unbeaten at one point) and with Shakespeare & Walsh brought in a decent crop of players that served us well.
If you want someone to wave at the fans when they sing his name, or offer platitudes to the local press etc, he’s the wrong man.
If you want someone to sort the wheat from the chaff, get your team playing football and winning games, over time he will turn it round.
By all accounts what the public sees is not what the players get.
Would have him back in a heart beat, despite the one or two ‘issues’ he had.

 

Morning Arnold, thanks for your insight. I really hope we employ Pearson, a 'type' I wished we'd employed 5 years ago. It seems our owner needed to be kicked in the b=lls to know it hurts.
Arnold, do you have a strange hobby?

 

It's a desperate attempt by the club to keep LJs record intact
One more defeat and it will be equalled

 

If true, needs to hit the ground running. This squad didn't become $hit over night, first dozen games, although dull looked at least ok for a top half finish, where as now we struggle to buy a win.
The disaster could strike if we continue to plummet and he goes off on one with the board......whichever way it goes, he's sure to provoke a stir!!
The situation reminds me a bit of when LJ was appointed, whom managed to save us from falling out of this league with players left behind from SC....
Interesting times ahead.

 

1for, as you know I supported LJ for most of his tenure, but it was actually Pemberton who stopped the plummet when Cotts was sacked - instantly.
LJ just finished the job that Pemberton started

 

Y?
How very much dare you?
I live under a bridge.
‘He’/ she, well I think you know the rest.

 

I would argue fervently that LJ was left a better squad than Holden was or Pearson looks to be. Apart from Bentley we do not have a single player worth more than when we signed him and certainly the only player capable of stepping up to the prem.

Below is a list of 11 players that LJ had when he walked in through the door.

Williams still a 1st teamer at Blackburn.
Flint back in favour at Cardiff under Mcarthy.
Ayling playing in the prem.
Smith a mainstay for Swansea.
Reid playing in the prem.
Freeman on loan to Forest from prem club.
Baker on loan from Villa (LJ eventually paid 4.5mil for him)
Wibraham.
Pack back in favour at Cardiff.
Kodjia (scored 20 goals).
Bryan at a prem club.

There is no way that there is 11 players of similar calibre in our present squad.
