Nigel Pearson believes there is a need for some conflict to evoke a response although admits highly-charged emotions may get the better of him after a game in reference to what he says publically.
The Bristol City manager spoke candidly after the draw with Peterborough on Saturday, highlighting the shake-up required among the squad but also touched upon deep-rooted issues among the club by labelling them "passive" and a "strange club in that regard."
Pearson would also cast doubt over his future by suggesting another manager would still inherit the same problems he has should a new name take over - a comment that he branded on Thursday as "just a fact."
