Useless Pearce Fact of The Day
It's a bit ironic that Pearce's first and last matches in charge of City were away at Spurs where we lost 2 -1 on both occasions.
Just to show how fickle football and a lot of fans are, even though we lost 2-1 in his first game, he got rave reviews for a brave effort in a match we should have got something out if we'd taken our chances; something of a theme that would run through his tenure as gaffer.
However, in what proved to be his last game in charge, he was slated for losing by the same scoreline - it's a cruel world.
Listening to the the great Fred Eyre tonight on the radio, he and some of the other callers echoed what a lot of fans feel about Pearce. There's quite rightly a lot of disappointment for him personally that he didn't succeed. He certainly can't be criticised for lack of effort and passion and the touchline technical area will be a quieter place next season, thats for sure.
It's a shame some of the players didn't show half of Pearce's energy and passion as we'd probably have had a much better season. Ultimately, Psycho paid the price for his disastrous signings, negative and muddled tactics and inability to score goals.
Pearce will have learned from his experience at City and no doubt he'll gone on to be a better manager elsewhere and we may just rue the day we let him go; that would just be City's luck.
Does this mean Steve Wigley is in charge for now? :-(

I feel sad about SP - I feel furious too - the same fatuous comments at the end of each game, the lack of intuition at halftime when we'd gone behind - and worst of all the insistence on playing Georgios Samaras. The poor sod had lost all his confidence very early days, and to pile it on just made things worse. Georgios is going to be a superstar - but not like that!
Agreed..... let's hope we all get something to cheer about next season, starting with a quality manager and not another "Ron Manager"
