While Steve Bruce loves it here and wants to build a youth set up and carry on and on. Yet ****s on here want him gone.
Don't forget that Leeds got us promoted to the Premier League last time. And we only fill the KC when the fans turn up to watch the opposition, only no-one said that when we were filling it against Hartlepool and Co, funny that. Plus when we reached the FA Cup Final it's because we never played anyone. Now with only 11 games to go and with a chance of going second in the league tomorrow our local BBC radio station broadcasts as 'sports news' that 'some fans are questioning City's promotion credentials' If we go up it will be because the other clubs didn't want it.............you wait and see, with tacked on the end the inevitable..........they'll come straight back down.
But he was known as 'Boring, boring Nigel' by our local rag throughout his reign here despite the club going on the longest unbeaten away run in the clubs history.
You got a HDM quote to confirm that? I confess I don't recall those words, or anything like them, being used by Buckingham and co.
Is that the best thing about him? That he wants to stay? If he got the best out of his team people would love him. Same as anyone else.
Case in point being Matt Dean on Look North tonight. His whole schtick was 'The wheels are coming off, look at how they've been overtaken by runaway leaders Burnley' and to make his point, he grilled a few morose stick- in- the- muds and curmudgeons outside the ground straight after the end of the game. 'Bloody rubbish' was the jist of it, as yet again our numbnut fans see a camera and a mic as an excuse to whinge and criticise the club rather than as a platform to broadcast to Grimsby and RL fans about how we are the regions no. 1 outfit. Poor old Matt, he must have completed his report on Saturday, before managerless Borough's defeat and Forest sacking Freedman made it one of the best Sundays we've had in years. It's set us up for a great week after a home draw. Over to you Matt.
This reminds me of the tiff Rosy had on another thread with some tit. I was quoting the fact two other managers didnt want to be here. This one does. Nothing about achievements but if you want he has certainly achieved more than them. FACT
So how many fans left the ground saying that was a sublime performance? ps We're no. 2 at the moment.
We've often won when not playing well, we've often lost when not deserving to. Over the course of the season and the years, it usually evens itself out. At this point in the season with the outcome in the balance, I don't understand why people seem so determined to will us to fail. Do you?
I'm not willing us to fail but the recent form doesn't inspire confidence.9 points out of the last 18.
It wasn't Buckingham who ran that particular hate campaign. It was whoever wrote 'Fire @ Fewings' the weekly supposedly readers letters page which was constantly filled with spoof letters and allegedly witty replies from Fewings. Nigel Pearson became known as and was always referred to as boring, boring, Nigel.
He wants to stay because no manager apart from maybe Wenger has been rewarded so well for failure. And even then Wenger had the runs on the board first.
Wegner failure ? He's had 20 years of success at Arsenal. And are you seriously calling Steve Bruce a failure ? The only manager ever to get us promoted automatically to the Premier League and to take us to an FA Cup Final ? FFS if you call that failure where were you when we were 5hit ?
Not to the same extent. The fact he's under zero pressure is something he lauds about the Allams because it's so unique, and clearly the reason he's happy to stay.
He didn't win a trophy with them for 10 years, spent very little improving the squad despite funds sitting in the bank, and has thrown away a couple of titles that really should have been their's lately. He'll be rewarded with a new two year deal this season.
