Nicky Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 We need more honesty from managers, like him. On his BBC website interview he's asked about Karade's dive and what he thought of it. Compare this with Mark Hughes interview... "Many managers would stand here and give you some bullshit story - i'm not prepared to do that. The ref got the right decision, i'll speak with him during the week and it wont happen again." Brilliant. Hats off to him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlufPurdi Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 It came across as very rehearsed to me. It may have been, in that he's probably done 3 or 4 interviews to various different channels. Regardless, it was the truth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, it was the truth. You could tell he'd been longing for the opportunity to say it, though. I just can't stand managers like Pearce, full of clichés, always wanting to say the right thing, and come across as well as they possibly can.. regardless of wether what they're coming out with actually ties in with what they really believe.

Superior Acuña Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 I like pearce very much to, as a player/manager/guy. Im not sure i rate him as a manager, but his honesty is great to see. Instead of whinging like mark hughes and coppel (who i previously liked). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Spectrum Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I like Pearce, but his likeable character always overlooks the fact that he's a pretty shit manager. Uh-huh. There are a lot of things I can criticise Pearce for - Stupid long ball tactics, complete inability to forge a style of play that gets anything out of his 2 best players (technically) Samaras and Ireland, signing Paul Dickov, tonguing Taggart's arse the day the day before the derby, playing 451 with a no pace striker....I could go on (For far longer than I would like). ...BUT! you can't slate his standards and man management skills. Thatcher decapitated Mendes, since he came back hes been a right little angel. Richards threw a hissy fit when he got subbed, seen nothing like it since. I can virtually guarantee Corradi won't dive again. I think its probably Pearce's biggest plus and its a big plus for the game. It's a shame a lot of other managers aren't willing to notice when their players do anything wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
