    It was so expert it finished nowhere near the playoffs. Neither did the team he built the following season.

    I actually liked Pearson as our gaffer, but he was bang average, we lost some monumentally **** games under him and I wasn't unhappy that he left for Leicester.

    He came in when we were in disarray after PLEXIT in 2010, we finished 11th after a slow start and a revolving door of departures, recruiting the likes of Chester, Rosenior, Brady, and we had our record unbeaten away spell of 14 games .
    Second season , we were 1 point outside playoffs but with one game in hand when he left.

    We also, in terms of performance, got shockingly worse under Nick in a very short space of time.

    Pearson wasn't brilliant for us, but he did a very good job. Anyone who thinks otherwise is blinded by his public persona and signing Aaron McClean.

    Sure, let's list off the excuses. He isn't as good as you say he is nor is he as **** as some people remember.

    He was just average.

    Why would you want to do that, there's no Jak to compete against. Ah, maybe McGregor ...

    Which game was it where he was doing the post match and Burnsy asked him the classic "Sum that up for me" and he just said "crap. It was crap."

    I think our owners, once again may I add.. have brought in a really good guy, and quite possibly the right kind of manager we need at this moment.

    Bruce was perfect at the time, big name manager for a club that had big plans. It worked perfectly.
    Silva was perfect and was a bold appointment. He just came to us a few weeks too late otherwise we would have probably stayed up.

    And now Slutsky. We needed someone fresh, determined and different. Leonid is certainly that. As others have said, I hope he does well for us, not just because we obviously want City to do well, but because this guy has done everything possible to do well in our country, he deserves some success.

    The more I see and hear from him the more I warm to him, he's genuine in being excited and happy to be here, can tell he's here to reach the Prem, his emotions don't seem fake or forced like you see in some interviews You See from new players/managers.... Roll on pre season :)
