southwest fox Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 Think its about time the thai owners put out a statement about speculation over pearson getting the sack, & shut up all the bullshit from the papers. IN NIGEL WE TRUST
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 I'm sure the Thais like many others know this is a non issue, so why make it an issue by releasing a statement.
Thracian Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 And I'm increasingly sure they're feeling as guilty as can be and are too embarrassed to admit it.
skinnydipper Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 It is an issue with Nigel being repeatedly questioned about the speculation. Sort it
Rusko187 Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 I say keep it up, seems to be spurring the team on.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 It is an issue with Nigel being repeatedly questioned about the speculation. Sort it Well all this speculation really seems to be effecting the results on the pitch
seenitall Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 Great brinkmanship by the owners, possibly the first tIme they've shown any real football brain. Lit the fire under Niges arse thats been missing since his return. Its probably coincidence, but if I were them I would keep it lit! It's the same fire that worked at the weekend for Brendan Rogers and Villa Boas, both coming under tabloid pressure. It sorts the men from the boys.
Buzzell Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 They probably don't need to make a statement because they know the rumours are a load of poo.
_Fatboyslow_ Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 It is an issue with Nigel being repeatedly questioned about the speculation. Sort it By those who have created the speculation and the full backing of the broad is usally followed by the sack.
Jace Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 Its about time we stopped worrying about the rumours true or not they started when we had lost 4 out of 5 games of course there is going to be speculation, we have just won 4 in a row and our 2nd I'm sure the owners are extremely happy now
skinnydipper Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 By those who have created the speculation and the full backing of the broad is usally followed by the sack. Not when you're second.
skinnydipper Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 Well all this speculation really seems to be effecting the results on the pitch Right, well if we get a couple of draws we'd better hope the media ramp it up!
indierich06 Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 The latest report says if Redknapp turns it down then Dowie and Shearer are in the frame... Jesus Christ.
Guest Col city fan Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 Makes you wonder where this is all stemming from? Are the media on Pearsons back? Have the Thais spoken to people? It's all crackers. We're second in the league...
FrankieADZ Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 Makes you wonder where this is all stemming from? Are the media on Pearsons back? Have the Thais spoken to people? It's all crackers. We're second in the league... i reckon its agent talk....trying to make the ones linked...eg Redknapp...look like they are wanted...when they arent
crisp packet Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 It's one paper FFS? Using no quotes , then the stringer interview ? I would be major disappointed if true , majorly disappointed !!!!! We are playing as good a football I can remember ???( proberbly since the McGhee days) Pearson has sorted out the dross ( who most of which happened to be on insane wages?? ) We have a great young side . Dont You dare f*** us up now!!!!!!!!!!
indierich06 Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 There can be no valid reason for getting rid of Pearson at all at this moment in time. I can see that they might have been a bit worried a couple of weeks back when we'd lost three away games on the spin, but even then the signs were there that it was just a matter of time. Now we're absolutely flying, playing great football and outplaying teams every game. He's reduced the wage bill massively, he's brought in quality players on the cheap... I can't think of any reason why they would want to get rid of Pearson to bring in a crook like Redknapp on massive wages, who would demad a massive transfer budget... I just can't see there being any substance in it at all.
inckley fox Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 I personally think we're being optimists when we argue that any board who vocally supports their manager is giving them a 'vote of confidence', whilst secretly getting ready to pull the trigger. It is such a bizarre story that even the Mail must be aware that their credibilty, or what remains of it, would be thoroughly shattered were they to get it wrong. Even more worrying is how NP's praise of the board has dried up in recent weeks. Ãf you add the persistent speculation to the board's silence to Pearson's failure to give them any credit, then it begins to look like we should be concerned. And no, I don't believe it's a ploy to keep him on his toes. I'm sure something has happened. As to whether it un-happens, we'll see.

Singing their praises in every interview? I don't think any manager does that about his owners all the time.
Happy Fox Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 I have no doubt that we have held informal talks with Harry Redknapp some people on here have commented on that and the papers whether you believe them or not. There was some suggestion on Talksport yesterday whether it is reliable or not that we offered Redknapp a contract which would be bizarre seeing as NP is still in a job, I guess what we seek is clarity on the management the Thais either back NP or sack him either way we all want to know the outcome because this speculation is unhealthy really.
inckley fox Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 What should he be doing? Singing their praises in every interview? I don't think any manager does that about his owners all the time. He used to.
1964FOX Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 Or we could just sing the F U C K OFF REDKNAPP song on Saturday and the owners would be become aware of the concern this rumour is creating. Might have o alter the words a bit as we're not top of the league at present.
Reynard Bleu Posted 3 October 2012 Posted 3 October 2012 I think things were tough after 3 deafeats on the bounce and no away points. Perhaps there was some questions asked by the owners, they are entitled to know whats going on and what the plan is to get things on track? There is always some lazy press dog sniffing and looking to extrapolate things to the nth degree. Pearson keeps his own council usually, in the absence of any real facts this lack of response can fuel such rumour.
