One Team Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 What do you think of Pearson’s post match comments about the passiveness of the club and and was this aimed at the board and owner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dullmoan Tone Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Q: What do you feel about Pearson calling out performances post match, when most are contracted and he will struggle to move them on - is this blame game really the way to motivate? Q: Why do our young players look so out of form (Scott, HNM, ZV) is Pearson now struggling to manage upcoming talent as well as experienced pro’s?

I am getting the feeling that pearson is thinking he is bigger than little old bristol city and we are not up to moving on to Premier for lots of reasons and is getting frustrated. STARTING to feel he is loosing heart.??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Mark Tovey Mark , I think what needs to be discussed is how have we ended in this position, ultimately we’ve gone from a side that had an outside chance of top six to a relegation fighting side. I think it’s easy to point the finger at Pearson but in my opinion our problems are bigger and have been going on longer than Pearson has been at the club 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 How on earth do you think a club that lost £38.4m & is in real danger of failing FFP during next season gets out of this mess when we have players signed by the previous regime on huge wages that no one will take off our hands? Because until we find a solution to that, everything else is pretty meaningless. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totterdown's Finest Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Assuming it's reasonable to expect a manager to organise and motivate a group of decent professionals (see Cooper at Forest, for example), at least for a period of time, has Pearson failed?

Mendip City Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) Here’s a question: (well 3) After 46 games: Would we be stay up if it were not for point deductions to Derby and Reading? Will will take the magical 50 points? Will we gain more points than last season? oh and another one…. Last year “if the season went on another month we’d be relegated”…. Same again this year??

Hazelboy Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 As there will be calls for Pearson to go, who are the realistic names of who you would want to replace him with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lack of Action Man Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 It’s clear we aren’t getting out of this mess without serious investment into the playing staff. However, due to FFP we are financially hamstrung and NP has already come out in the press and squashed any expectation I had for next year by saying it’s unlikely we will be spending big in the summer (at least not unless we sell big). Assuming (for whatever reason) the big money bids don’t come in for the likes of Massengo, Semenyo or others, just how on Earth are we going to raise some much needed cash? Do the panel have any legitimate suggestions for alternative ways the club can generate some much needed income so we can go after the quality players needed to turn this around?

Sir Geoff Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 If Ian says one more time about bringing in a young manager, who dies he think will fit the bill?

Sir Geoff Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Do any of you really believe that Massengo is worth more than £3 million ( with a year left on contract) or that Semenyo is going to fetch close to £5 million.

Yes I agree, this is also a concern and when you factor in RG’s posturing to the media that we would rather take a points deduction than accept a sub-par bid, it all adds up to a right old mess. Someone on here recently suggested stadium naming rights as an option. I’ve always been against this myself, but given how desperately we need investment I’m finding my opinion swinging towards anything is option now.

Sometimes you value high because you don’t want to sell. You do the opposite when you do. It would be helpful to know what is happening with the contract talks of certain players. Otherwise we (as fans) are just totally guessing what might happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus whatever we have to pay Pearson and coaching staff will reduce our playing budget. How has this been allowed to happen , questions need to be asked to the decision makers of the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott going nowhere this summer if we don't want to sell him. Re Massengo, no I don’t. Antoine’s purple patch a few months ago, plus his attributes, strong, quick, much improved first touch, will see us getting an offer above that, but nowhere near the £10m+ figures being banded around. Obviously this is all just an opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
