Why does Stuart Pearce hate City so much?

Would he care if city were guilty on every charge possible and went out of existence
 
Hope he makes a full and speedy recovery, as positive 115 news for City will need his heart strong to deal with this I would guess

Anyone who believes Stuart Pearce was our worst "recent history" manager, is an idiot

He wasn't the worst & did a reasonable job but it was his dull toothless football that many can't forgive & the FA quarter final game at Blackburn where we didn't have a shot on target all game hurt the most.

Seeing his smacked arse of a face as the final whistle goes in Istanbul tells you everything about him & compare that to Brian Horton who even after he was shafted by the club still refers to City as us.
 
From comments he made not so long after we fired him, I think he was a bit bitter that his predecessor and successor had money to spend, while he only got about a third of the fee Chelsea paid for SWP. I believe he also had a strop when the board at the time tried to prevent him from taking the England under-21 role alongside his duties at City, which led to bad feelings on both sides.

I guess it's easier for him to project his own failings onto our club than accept he was just a poor manager. Watching the team he eventually put together at our club almost put me off football for life. That said, if he's now ill, I wish him a swift recovery.

He was such a good manager that his wife told a story about his first match in charge. He supposedly wrote down his first team 11 and showed it to her for approval. She looked at it and handed it back suggesting it may do better with a goalkeeper !
 
Wish him well. I got pelters on here for criticizing him at the end of his first full season, and he had a lot of support on here due to his character and what he said, and turning up to local punk gigs etc.

He did okay on limited resources and kept us up, some managers would have taken us down in 2007. The 5-2 at Charlton was the zenith, had a few to celebrate at London Bridge after.

All we are saying, is give Pearce a chance...

Well not surprising as he thought goalies were better as emergency forwards than an actual forward !

Not every transfer is a success & we've made some huge mistakes in our history, look at Steve Daley, but the £6m that we paid for Samaras under Pearce has to be pretty close especially at a time when we're skint after Keegan had overspent on the likes of Fowler & Mcmanaman, & the millstone that was around our necks when we were paying towards the Etihad

Is it a surprise that funds were withheld (if we actually had anything) when he blew our entire transfer budget on Sam Harris!

I remember travelling to the game when they announced Brian Horton and all
4 of us said Brian who ? And feared the worst but it ended up being a brilliant appointment and we played some fantastic football and had some cult heroes to admire. By far the worst appointment in my opinion was Alan Ball - my best mate was on holiday in Malta or Cyprus and seriously considered chucking himself in the harbour when he heard he was the new manager. He’s on here as Mr Ed and will confirm the story I’m sure !

The thing was, I was sat on the harbour wall utterly gutted, when a fellow blue who was also on holiday who I didn't know, sat next to me, he'd also heard the same shit news that Ball was our new manager and was as pissed off as I was.
