Stuart Pearce

[franksinatra]

Hughes was a decent coach for Blackburn - was ok for us but our owner knew we needed to upgrade the coach. Signed Vinny, Zabba, Bellers, de Jong, Tevez, Lescott, Barry and brought back SWP. One or two duds as well that didn't work, but for the above mentioned alone he deserves a bit of praise don't you think? Hughes was/is light years ahead of Pearce as a coach.

The problem is all those players were not the version of player we look back on fondly. It was the next managers who made them the great players who influenced our success. Komps as an example was an average holding midfielder and Zabba a struggling fullback.

Georgio and Rocky say hi.

Vinyl, Zaba and Dejong say hi also. Who is Georgio? If you mean Samaras, wasn't he bought by Pearce.

I really liked him growing up. Thought he was a brilliant no nonsense full back who seemed like a pretty normal bloke who you could enjoy a drink with and a chat.
Listening to some of the absolute fuckwittery that has come out of his mouth in recent years I accept I was very very wrong.

This is in keeping with what Nedum Unouha said about him, he said a 21 year old Joey Barton use to bully him at City and that he was spineless as a manager

My dog is miles better coach than pearce and most likely better radio pundit too.

I forgot to include the only positive thing about pearce was his taste in music.

Whenever people say we are ruining football I think back to the 2006 season. That was a flat out assault on the game and basic human decency

And that tickets were easy to come by.

Yes true
Under his leadership was the closest I came to not renewing my season ticket.

That is one satisfying video. In my head Boli has just volleyed his stuffed horse into the stands seconds before the clip begins.

Yes, it was shit but do we owe him a little bit of credit for keeping a very poor City team in the top flight?

Think we owe more to the teams that finished below us that were somehow even more shite

No.

Horrible, stupid man and the worst manager in our history which is going some.

I reckon we lost about 6,000 core fans under his 'management'

Was watching a video with Jon Macken the other day, he absolutely slated him - never really thought about it but it must have been disrespectful being a striker on the bench and someone choosing a GK over you. He also said James had shirt printed the day before so it was a premeditated decision - what an egomaniac.

The **** shouldn't have put us in that situation in the first place. An absolute paper Tiger.

Sorry that award goes to Clueless Hughes. He was the manager that did convince me to give up my season ticket..... until he left.
