COVID related why could they have not told us before-we all wish him the best in getting strong and healthy-we need you back to finish the job.
This was the info floating around the gate last week and it takes this long to officially tell the fans!!!!! heard about it last Friday morning!
Bristol City CEO Richard Gould issues Nigel Pearson update ahead of Blackburn Rovers test Bristol City manager Nigel Pearson has been off work with a Covid-19 related condition since November 5 with growing uncertainty as to when he will return https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/bristol-city-ceo-nigel-pearson-6208017
I thought that was what it was all of the time, I seem to recall the Steve Cotterill had the same problem after first returning at Shrewsbury and had go sick for a 2nd time.
Am I missing something here, I thought this was what came out of the interview with GT on RB last week. Surely it was obvious NP was not going to be back in time for Sat.
SC was in a right mess after covid and obviously it has affected big Nige in the same way. Club should have just come out with it and we could all wish Nige well.
Could have been anything hence why I asked the club to come clean and tell us the issue. Just hope he makes a full recovery and gets back to the big job in hand. Majority of us want him to sort this **** show out once and for all.
Does growing uncertainty mean he is really bad or it is getting worse? Maybe any comments about team tactics should not be taken seriously because the last 6 games have been rubbish. Fleming in charge should be left to sink or swim. What is the point of an assistant being in charge, when manager incapable, if he does what the out of sorts manager says?
Obviously our thoughts are with Nigel during his health issues and we wish him a speedy recovery however it is a situation we don't really need when we are performing at our current level. The team is in disarray and falling faster than at the many other times we have faced difficulty and with the coaching side of the equation up in the air I fear we are heading for the relegation nightmare. Since last season when NP joined us on a look-see scenario the results under his stewardship are brutal, bordering on farcical, and with the current squad under his direction I can see nowhere else but a relegation fight. There has been no dead cat bounce, or any other signs of footballing life in the players we have, which leads me to ask what the hell can happen to change this dire predicament? Will the January transfer window offer any redemption or will we spin the usual wheels and excuses to deflect criticism? Nobody wanted this to happen and yet here we go again peeing in to the wind and not liking what's coming back towards our faces. Getting control of difficult events is not high on the list of good decisions made by the club and I just wonder if that history will show it's ugly face again or will we end up with a smile on our collectives faces sometime soon? Keep posted but don't expect solutions just promises.
It's Bristol City FC, is anyone surprised ? Decades of more or less total indifference have left us rudderless, again. Biggest city in the whole of the UK, and possibly Europe, not to have had a team in it's premier league. That's not counting the old division 1 we were briefly in from the mid 70's for 4 seasons.
The strange thing here -we have never employed a manager of NPs ilk in my time watching Bristol City-We now have a top rated physio in the background.But he inherited a **** football team which will take time to mould to his standards. But unless the board are going to invest more into the football team we are going to be at a standstill. over to you Mr L.
Are you saying that he doesn’t have the capability to get results with the players we got? if that’s the case, maybe we didn’t need a different manager at all!!!
I think he is saying that has been the case for nearly 2 years with 3 managers and a host of golden coaches, we need to find a decent coach.
Oh are you saying get a decent coach as well as NP or instead of? mix up between manager and coach I was asking, if NP has proved himself with us so far? Basically is NP all that?? Because RR is saying he can’t do anything with this **** football team.
