Barky Posted 8 January 2017 Posted 8 January 2017 Koeman's comments were very interesting. There must be a lot of friction there for him to publicly name someone like that. In those situations the manager usually gets backed and the DOF gets moved on.

I'm sure there are more but can we just accept he wasn't always a nice bloke to everyone? Quote from Ostrich man I actually like Nigel. Away from the media spotlight, he is engaging company, a real man-manager, intelligent guy and the players must love playing under him. I have a lot of time for him. not saying he's not been a nice bloke, I'm saying people think he's a nice bloke. Big difference, everyone has off days.

Barky Posted 8 January 2017 Posted 8 January 2017 When people talk about Pearson being nice they do it in the same way as people describe their neighbour as nice after it turns out the neighbour is a serial killer. You know, "we're shocked, he just seemed like a nice bloke, you'd never have thought he'd be capable of doing that to all those prostitutes"

That's not to say he didn't do a good job as our manager but we don't have to pretend he was something he wasn't.

Pearson strikes me as the sort of person who hasn't got time for people acting like dickheads. So he's not nice to dickheads, does that mean he's not a nice person?

There are countless examples of him being rude, arrogant and aggressive, why do we have to pretend he was a saint?

Bearing in mind journalists are always looking for a reaction.
norwichfox Posted 8 January 2017 Posted 8 January 2017 time to get back on topic?.....Steve Walsh Snr according to the header. He did great work for us and found some major successes who had a great bearing on the destination of the Premier League Champions Trophy last season. I was sorry to see him go, I believe his motives for moving were honourable, would welcome him back with open arms, but not too sure how his relationship with CR would work out over a period of time.

Anyone who comes into contact with him has always said he's a funny and engaging bloke. Wise up. I heard from inside the club that people don't like him mate so I'm not sure that's correct.

It's a journalists job to ask questions, they're not asking to be called dick heads. It's part of his job to answer them. Strangling players on the touchline, telling fans to foad, the way he reacted when his son was sacked. You might think that all those people deserve to be spoken to like that but they're not the actions of a nice person.

Nice one norwichfox.................... I thought I was on a Bring back Pearson thread. I quite liked Walsh and like Kante I was sad to see him go, But now I've got Ndidi, Amartey, Mendy, Musa to concentrate on

I agree, I certainly wouldn't boo him nor call him a w@nker.
Izzy Posted 8 January 2017 Posted 8 January 2017 Whatever people think of Pearson, he can still derail a thread like no other..
notnow john Posted 8 January 2017 Posted 8 January 2017 I didn't like the way Walsh left but do appreciate his huge contribution to our progress. Koeman is wholly disingenuous and is trying to deflect the blame for his ineffective coaching.
HighPeakFox Posted 8 January 2017 Posted 8 January 2017 If we can find 2 effective CBs, we're starting to look like a squad.

There must be a lot of friction there for him to publicly name someone like that. In those situations the manager usually gets backed and the DOF gets moved on. That's a very unusual thing to happen, he's likely feeling the stress of the ambitious demands of the new owner. Think Everton have to realise how hard it is to compete with the very top clubs, even if you have money. If you think about Man City and PSG as recent examples, even they had to overspend on good but not great players like Robinho and Pastore and work their way up before being able to get real world class players. Anyway Walsh was immense for us and responsible for bringing in many of the players that ended up becoming the immortals. He was brilliant for us and doesn't deserve the chants that were mentioned.
