    Even people who wanted him gone , should surely have given him a massive reception for what he achieved .... The worst part of that whole issue was his replacement , felt like a right pisstake

    The problem was he should have either gone earlier or be kept until the end of the season but shouldnt have got rid when we did

    Browny has said he has unfinished business at Hull City.

    Stranger things have happened.

    How many PKs do Millwall need to equal Southend's GD?

    And Pearson never gets any blame for the stupidest managerial choice ever.

    From the onset of winter that season, every time the team was announced to the media room pre match there was a collective scratching of heads. It really did feel at one point as if he was chucking names in the air and seeing where they landed.

    Dowie was a failure. But give him some slack...It was like throwing a drowning man a kids rubber duck..

    I'll cut him no slack, I think any of us on here could have done a better job.

    Except Patty obvs.

    Don't get me wrong. Dowie was dog-tod, but he didn't have the time or the resources to turn it around...Unlike Silva who has the time and the resources..

    I don't think anyone on here could have saved City from the drop in 2010..

    We had good chances to stay up but blew it ourselfs, I may have a complete brain fade but wasn't he in charge when we lost at Portsmouth to some very late goals and a Burnley game where we just didn't turn up and lost?

    We weren't down by then, the rot had certainly set in, but we were relegated after only managing to win one of the nine games under Dowie.

    There were bad losses as well, Stoke, Villa, Burnley and Sunderland.

    What choice was that? Who do you think was going to come in to City at that stage? Bear in mind we weren't even the yo-yo club we are now back then. We were PL upstarts who'd somehow stayed a second year. The mistake was sacking him at that time, but I'm sure we wouldn't have done so if it wasn't for the looming financial disaster on the horizon. We simply couldn't afford that relegation (and we're still paying for it now) so it was just a desperate attempt in the hope we'd get some kind of honeymoon effect like loads of **** managers get. Really sad and unfair on PB because IMO it wasn't his fault that we were in the bottom 3 with a bottom 3 squad. But we were in a position where we had to gamble on a long shot.

    So you agree Pearson made a stupid decision and a stupid choice then. Good.
