Nigel Pearson has left Bristol City with immediate effect after being relieved of his role as manager.He was sacked Nigel Pearson leaves Bristol City https://www.bcfc.co.uk/city-men-news/nigel-pearson-leaves-bristol-city/ City Chairman Jon Lansdown said: “This was a difficult decision to make as we recognise and appreciate how much Nigel has done for the club over the past two-and-a-half years on and off the pitch.
Gone weeks ago. They've just waited for a couple of defeats. Wrong person gone. SL and JL need to sell up and go.
The amazing ****ups that my club do drives me insane. What now? A couple of months of interviews and recruitment fiasco while we drift along? That’s what happened after LJ was sacked. I dispair I really do.
Junior was THE recruitment fiasco. The decision to sack Pearson is worse than appointing Johnson. Unbelievable clowns in charge.
Bristol City chairman Jon Lansdown explains why Nigel Pearson has been sacked as manager Nigel Pearson has been in charge of Bristol City since February 2021 but there has been recent tension between board and management https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/nigel-pearson-bristol-city-sacked-8867004
Ridiculous decision but who is surprised coming from mr smug himself A clueless idiot who yet again has proved he knows Jack sh*t about football Meddling yet again, but when backing was needed he was nowhere to be seen. Sell the club and get out. You’ve outstayed your welcome Shambles
“We all wanted Nigel to achieve our ambition to be promoted but, with our recent results, feel that now is the time to make a change to give the club the best possible chance of success.” The recent results are a success. The team is competitive and displays a united team spirit. Achieved with huge cost cutting, an injury hit squad, while using young players at a level not seen since 1982. We are Steve and Jon Lansdown. Another we thinks they are ignorant and are holding BCFC back. Expect a mirror to be revealed next week. Mr Lansdown can gaze at his reflection.
Madness here we go with another lengthy recruitment with a disappointing budget appointment that will probably end with no progress on the pitch. I just hope NP now has the chance to get his health sorted.
I wake up to the sad news that Nigel has left the building after being dumped by a bunch of people who have no clue what the hell they have just done. The problem was not when Nigel was hired followed by several years of wringing out the old FFP trick to fool him into thinking he was getting all the support from the top that was possible. Our club is owned and run by liars and cheats who should never be in the football business to begin with and now the truth is out about their conniving ways. Who in their right mind would even think about taking over the poisoned chalice that is Bristol City when the terms of employment read like a horror story on the night before halloween. Poor recruiting and absolutely shocking business decisions over many many years has led up to the point of collapse, bordering on total mayhem, whereby we could be struggling to find an idiot to take over and then have to deal with a team in disarray and full of players who are not good enough for the supposed task at hand (remember the promotion challenge?) backed up by players still wet behind the ears. Steve Lansdown will never cough up the reasons why he decided to hold onto nearly all of the money generated through a decent transfer out year and nothing he can say will fill the hearts of the true Bristol City supporters with the merest hope for the remainder of this season and beyond. My faith in everything Lansdown has been flushed down the toilet and the joint has really been stunk out this time.
