Pearson to Face Investigation?

I actually think that sort of aggressive abuse from one individual fan shouldn't be condoned and more power should be given to stewards to throw people out. Singing and swearing in a group is more acceptable and can't be policed but that can. Hearing that is precisely the reason I won't be taking my daughter down to the football. Actually think Nige should stay in stand for the duration, better for all concerned.

So lets get this right, you can call someone a retard, Pearson can be called a twat, but he's not allowed to respond because he's a football manager. Balloonhead.

'Verkaufen Drei' - 'Sell three'

 

 

Clearly calling up to Top who has been studying German recently regarding January's transfer business.

 

 

CASE CLOSED.

I was in the West Stand when this happened it was all just a simple misunderstanding, just before the final whistle my mate who was sat next to me shouted to out to Pearson; 

 

'Nige 2 questions please, whats your daughters phone number and what do you plan to do about your greying hair?' 

 

Pearson shouted back to him

 

'**** off and dye'

 

My mate laughed he wasn't offended at all and took it as 'banter' if anyone at the club is investigating this I will quite happily testify this is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Well I come from the school of you dish it out you'd better be prepared to take it. Not bothered what job they are in.

 

That clearly wouldn't work, though, would it?

 

Referees, linesmen, chairmen, policemen, shop owners, teachers, social workers, lawyers, judges, politicians, journalists... and, yes, football managers have to be able to rise above this kind of thing.

 

I really don't consider this a big deal, but the hero worship that seems to have been provoked by a professional who isn't currently doing a particularly good job failing to keep his head at a tricky time, and behaving like an inarticulate idiot (which is the last thing on earth he is) is increasingly helping to turn it into a big deal.

 

His job status should depend on how well he does his job, not this kind of rubbish. It isn't excusable, neither is repeatedly coming out with some line about not wanting your supporters to turn up if you don't want to see us looking crap.

 

I can see that this has appealed to a large number of people on here who, in some cases, don't appear to think very much of our fans either. But don't go thinking that this forum has ever represented common opinion among those fans you so despise (as has been suggested by more than one poster), and don't bother trying to argue that in some way this was a reasonable response on his part, when it clearly wasn't. 

 

Normally this is a place which restores my faith in fans because of the considered opinions of many posters. To see some of you fawning over a man just because he told a fellow paying fan - who you vilify on the grounds that he, just like Pearson, unnecessarily lost his cool - to 'f*** off and die', or whatever it was, is very disappointing.

 

Just brush it off as a sorry episode. Don't make a big deal out of it. Don't get into a row on Sunday or the weekend after that when you realise that the boisterous back-slapping love-in on here isn't a true reflection on how many fans feel. And let the manager be judged on how good he is at his job.

You've exaggerated what I said there. I consider this to be a pretty trivial incident. It just made me smile when I heard he reacted in the way he did as it shows he dislikes that negative crowd as much as me. That's it. It certainly hasn't "swayed me" in any major way. I also stated quite clearly that it was "poorly worded" so thanks for ignoring that in your attempts to make out that I was an unpleasant person.

 

I don't believe it did 'sway' your opinion. You've been very consistent in your support for him, some might even say unconditional. Maybe I'm wrong on that score. Whatever, my support for the club is unconditional, but not for him.

 

And I don't think I've tried in any way to make you out as an 'unpleasant person'. In fact my use of 'you' was entirely impersonal, and I thought fairly clear in its reference to the people who have decided that they suddenly like Pearson a great deal more because he behaved like a very poor professional. And I don't think these are unpleasant people either, just misguided.

 

Stringer also behaved like a very poor professional after the game, from the clips I've heard. Not because he upset Nigel with his nasty questions, but because his questions weren't very good ones. I can't say I especially want to see him sacked either. 

 

I've noticed again and again in recent weeks that the argument in favour of Pearson isn't focusing on any of the very good reasons for keeping him. To these reasons, which vary from the clearly wrong ('sides who fire their manager in a relegation struggle our doomed' / 'he's had a bigger impact on this club than O'Neill' / 'there aren't any good alternatives out there') to the downright bizarre ('he deserves to remain as our manager for all of this year and next, regardless of how bad a job he makes of it'), we can now add 'he told a lairy fan to **** off then told all fans they could stay at home, which is spot on'. Have you actually stopped to think about how ridiculous that is?

Why does everybody need to apologise? He was out of order in his response, from a professional perspective, but he may well have been very clever in terms of its potential for motivating his players. Now's the time for us to just take it for what it was and focus on whether or not he's going to prove good enough to do a job at this level.
