Nigel Pearson disagrees with chairman Jon Lansdown’s assessment that Bristol City are under-performing this season, referencing the “bonkers” model the club previously lived by, and has been surprised at how chaotic life has been since taking charge a year ago.
On Wednesday, during the announcement of Bristol Sport’s new sponsorship deal with Huboo, Lansdown stated that the Robins, who lie 17th in the Championship after 32 games, should be, “competitively better than we are doing at the moment in the league”.
Although league position is the ultimate determiner of success for a football club and by extension the man at the helm, Pearson believes a more nuanced look needs to be made in analysing City’s progress on his watch.
