cc_star Posted 10 February 2015 Posted 10 February 2015 I've answered this before. Pearson needs to stay. Not cos I have any particular faith in Pearson at this level to keep us up, but because it's now too late to change it all about. If that was going to happen, it should have been weeks ago. It would be massively hard for any new bloke to come in and to get these players playing for him, especially with our next run of games. Keep Pearson and hope for the best. Just wondering if Pearson should be kept onboard for the next 3 games where we're likely to come away with 3 defeats, making it 6 in a row.... Then sacking him allowing a new coach to come in untainted by likely defeats away at Arsenal (where we always lose, even our 'great' sides), ManCity etc... So we carry fresh impetus into the 'easier' games that follow, including our much fabled run-in. I don't believe we should do this or even that he should go at all as long as we're not dire & wimpering, I just think it's more viable than simply showing him the door last Sunday night with nobody lined up

I'm a City fan of many years and get hacked off with playing rubbish and all the off field antics. So like many, I ventilate. But fundamentally I'm not opposed to Pearson being manager. It would be great if he keeps us up and stops all the doubt.

No Col, hide your head in the sand and hope for the best.
funkyrobot Posted 10 February 2015 Posted 10 February 2015 It's not his job to say who should replace him, it's the clubs Whichever way you look at it, he has not earned his vast salary this season. If he can't do it, the club will find someone who can. It's not difficult to understand. So you have no suggestion tiger? More like you daren't suggest someone just in case they turn out to be a waste of space.
wurmer Posted 10 February 2015 Posted 10 February 2015 Remember when we used to talk about the football and not the Manager...

If he can't do it, the club will find someone who can. It's not difficult to understand. Yeah, but who do you see as a realistic replacement for Pearson? So far, you've pretty much avoided answering that question.Being critical about the manager is one thing, doing so without perspective is foolish. That managers get sacked for lack of success or for not achieving goals set at the start of a season is a given - I'd like to talk about the next stage, though. Going beyond that.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 10 February 2015 Posted 10 February 2015 Well my first game was the 1969 cup final so i don't qualify as one of these young pups that so many seem to think don't know what they are talking about,i can safely say just because you are older and been following the club longer certainly does not make you wiser based on the nonsense you are spouting. It's not nonsense actually. All the players mentioned, and they are only a drop in the ocean, played in teams that had some pride, played cohesive football, and succeeded in entertaining, more often than not. None of this is apparent this season. I think your memory, is letting you down.

DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 10 February 2015 Posted 10 February 2015 So you have no suggestion tiger? More like you daren't suggest someone just in case they turn out to be a waste of space. Too late for Pulis, who is helping WBA out of trouble, and who I would have liked here. However no one could get us any lower than Pearson has got us. You will know shortly who will be next, I think.
Ian S Posted 10 February 2015 Posted 10 February 2015 tell me why????? Read the last line of the post I was responding to,cannot be taken seriously. For someone who does not have a clue he has done incredibly well and some nonsense comparing his achievement s to the likes of Milne ,O'Farrell, etc is laughable. I too watched the Bloomfield era and some of our players were fantastic but I remember my dad and his mates being a bit critical as they believed he underachieved with the squad he had. As for patronising the younger fans as if they know diddly squat,pure arrogance. And my views on Pearson won't change if the inevitable happens tonight.

Ask James Beattie amongst others. Yeah, but who do you see as a realistic replacement for Pearson? So far, you've pretty much avoided answering that question.

I am on record as wanting Tony Pulis last year, and he is doing a good job W.B.A. We missed the boat. It wont be my choice as to whom the club bring in, but you know as well as I do, Pearson is skating on thin ice, and doing nothing to endear himself to the board. Quite the opposite in fact. Certainly he has shown no sign yet, of earning his money, this season, and if he gets booted, which is more likely, you wont need me to tell you.

You missed the Gillies era. - What a great team that was! Far better than the ones you witnessed from '69 onwards The same Pulis who is actually on his way to achieving a W.B.A. survival. Pearson was great in the Championship last season, but not this season thus far, and the ONLY thing he has achieved this season, is making himself a complete idiot off the pitch. You are close behind him, with your spurious drivel, and puerile posts.
