Yes the team is to fault,we all know that but ultimately the buck stops with the manager.
I still stood by and supported him during a rough December,when others wanted him to go but this past month has shown the players are no longer playing his tune and he looks short of ideas how to solve it.
The manager to replace him went to Bristol city yesterday anyway,so we might as well stick for now.
I am not always correct. Sometimes I may re-think something and change my mind.
If we change manager, so should Bristol City, Swansea, Brentford, Barnsley, Preston, Rotherham as they are all on a similar run.
Bristol City did change their manager in the summer. The new guy came in, he started ok, then they lost 7 in a row. What happens if Pearson loses 6? Do they sack him?

What would Person bring to our club, that Mowbray wouldn't? I would bet my life we still finished midtable? But would Pearson have a good relationship with Venkys? Thats crucial. Pearson has fallen out with every single owner of every single club he has managed. He has been sacked from every job, due to falling out with the owners. He has never won anything. And has just one promotion on his CV. Like Mowbray?
So what is the guarantee Pearson would change anything?

There is one club, who have benefitted from a change of manager. Cardiff City. Who got Mick Mcarthy.
Who is the excat type of manager almost everyone would have moaned about had we gotten him. He is no different to Mowbray. Had early results gone badly, he would be getting hounded by our fans by now.

What fans want, is a manager who comes in, and never loses a game.

This is a midtable club, going nowhere. Not up or down. In a division of clubs going nowhere. And we like 97% of clubs will be deemed as 'failing' when the reality is we will 'fail' every season like 97% of all other clubs.

Sacking one bloke, to bring in someone no different. Personally I feel Pearson would have been a disaster. And would have lasted no more than until the end of this season, by then he would have had a falling out.

Watch what happens at Bristol City. Who are no different to us. They will get a few early results. Then go straight back to going absolutely nowhere. If he is still manager at the end of next season, I will be shocked. Thats not what we need at all. Instability would take us back to Div1.

In the next game or 2 we will get a win, and none of this will be an issue. Until we lose again.
