Can someone ask Dickov why he continues to associate himself with us post retirement ., but was happy.to celebrate like fuck when he scored the winning penalty for Leicester that could have relegated us , and as a scot I can't see any genuine affiliation to the club other than an on going cash cow.
I just can't believe this post! I can only assume you're a WUM. Dickie is a true legend of the club, if only for 'that goal' where would the club be now without it?
As for not celebrating goals against your former clubs, that's a nonsense!
 
I just don't get all the hatred on here for Stuart Pearce. An England legend, who was a model professional during a time when 'drink culture' was rife in the game, ok, he wasn't our greatest ever manager, and playing David James at CF was bonkers, but he took the job when the club were potless (couldn't even raise £3m to make Van Boyton's loan permanent). I think the man deserves a bit more respect.

The football was the absolute fucking worst I've ever seen in my life. The cunts done nothing but slag City off since. Oh and he ignored a young me at Carrington once when he was a coach (every single other player, even Anelka stopped to sign autographs). Fuck him and the shit stuffed horse he rode in on.
 
At the time my dotter was about 7, we missed over half the goals that season while she visited the ladies and I stood outside waiting, it was uncanny, her timing was absolutely bang on :/
I later calculated that together the seasoncards for me and my son cost me £107 per home goal we saw ! :-(

I don’t have anything against him other than it cost me £50 per goal to watch City that season.

He always struck me as being better suited to asst manager rather than the main man

The match against Charlton when both teams decided to settle for a draw after 10 mins was possibly the most boring match I’ve seen
 
If anyone goes can you tell Pearce I’ll never forgive him for the season we scored 10 goals at home.
I have it on strong authority that was the season that Frank was over and deciced to invest... based on the attacking potential... as in potential to add 2 more goals and say we were a dynamic team...

You can say the same for every player - loads of fakes just cling to the currently most successful club they can for cash, and he even admitted himself what it was all about in the programme for the Leicester replay in 2004.

Now claiming to be a fan after that is ridiculous.
 
Can someone ask Pierce how he come to the conclusion that Gary Oneil should be Manager of the season," As stated on Talkshite "
It's all relative isn't it. Tremendous achievement keeping a club the size of Bournemouth in the Premiership. Not all about winning.
 
Calling Pearce a disaster when he did okay is ridiculous. He saw us to the promised land, and wouldn't wasn't all about the money like the PD who we were lumbered with.
Only time I ever questioned whether I could be arsed with getting a season ticket was under SP. If it wasn't for the social side of it I probably wouldn't have bothered. Clueless doesn't do him justice.

He was on improvement on Keegan post 2003, Ball, Royle etc.

Short memories.

I think all those managers were fighting losing battles for one reason or another, perhaps with the exception of Keegan whose ambitions outstripped his own talent as a coach and the clubs finances but had been backed enough to see us as a stable upper premier league side. Loved the football under him but no pragmatism when it came to the teams limitations and seemed to give up. Would argue Royle was a decent manager but by the time we landed back in the Premier league it had moved on from the dogs of war in midfield and the long quick ball to the big guy up front to hold onto till the cavalry arrived.

Ball - had a talented group of players who I can only think absolutely hated him and ignored most of what he had to say. Enjoyable at times because of the talent in the team but doomed by the start (1 draw and 7 defeats ?)

Pearce to be fair got the job because we probably could not afford anyone else but he had zero talent for it and think we were held together by Dunne, Distin and Barton. I bare him no ill will because the issues were all at board level but I have never watched such dire football. Have been more depressed watching city but that was under Frank Clark.

Thank god for whatever curse we were under being lifted but would not want to sit listening to Pearce go on about his stuffed donkey or his masterstroke of converting James to a forward because it just left us open to more piss takes from the national press and opposition.
