The bewildering carrer of Stuart Pearce.

[coffeymagic]

If ever there was a man that summed up good player/crap manager it's Psycho.

It's perhaps indicitive of England's poor state internationally that we have Roy 'in charge' of the first XXII and Pearce in charge of the IIXXII.

Describing last night's performance v Italy as 'awful' he could have been talking about ANY performance of a team under his tenure. Blinded by the lights of players like fecking Shelvey and that shitbag Henderson he then complains that we're 'not creative enough'.

By this does he mean we didn't 'lump it enough'?

I can imagine him ranting and raving, talking about heart and passion and all that bollocks - when are we going to start talking about putting two fecking passes together?

How is he still in a job?

Would you tell him he's sacked?

Pearce AND Hodgson out. The whole fecking lot of 'em.

Get rid.

He's got a difficult job. He's managing against high expectations, for a country that has a small pool of talent in terms of percentage of top flight players in the Premier League that are English. The players are overpriced, so clubs bring in foreigners for less money and the English players stagnate. Any half decent one is promoted to the first team and not allowed to go back to U21's.. He's also fighting against powerful Premiership managers who don't want their players to actually play football in case they get tired..

Players like Chamberlain, should be in that swuad rather than jetting off to South America for a knock around in a meaningless game. Young promising players need tournament experience at a lower level to make sure they're ready for the big ones. And until the FA stop being a set of mard bastards bullied by the foreign owned super clubs, they'll never produce players of a sufficient calibre.

But I agree, that he's shite...

He may have been a good player but his strengths were not based on calculations, thought, strategy, tactics, learnt behaviours, or coached manouevres - everything with him was instinct. No wonder he cannot pass that on, you've either got what he had or you haven't.

[Wandering Willy]

Anyone who says "kna what a mean" ten times in a post match interview is a wanker.

A cockney wanker.

Agree entirely - Reflects it best when you think that Mata and Martinez, with senior world cup medals in their pockets, fancied the u21s last time round.

He's an absolute charlatan a fecking mile out of his depth. Utterly clueless and always quick to blame everything and anyone for his own lack of having a clue.

Sounds like you're describing a certain Scottish manager Bruce!

[Annoyed Grunt]

Two down to Norway.

[bobo the clown]

Two down to Norway.

Has Sordell just tweeted you AG ?

[LeverEnd]

Super marv to the rescue? Not in a million years. I'd be happy to be proved wrong though. He was appalling the other night, then again he wasn't on his own. Indictment of Pearce's skills as a manager that he keeps picking him really.

[Annoyed Grunt]

3-1 Norway......

Is Sordell playing?

[Annoyed Grunt]

Two down to Norway.

Has Sordell just tweeted you AG ?

I blocked him......getting on my nerves....

Racist.

They're cut from the same cloth. Stubborn and unwilling to change a losing formula as they see that as admitting they were wrong.

Thought for a long time that international football is a chore for most of the big time players - you know, the one's that can't score 10 goals in the Championship - that sort.

If I was in charge of the FA I'd send a text to every English player in the land and say 'Do you want to play for England? Y/N'. The ones that replied would get a game the ones that didn't could stick to opening supermarkets and knocking off groupies.

Pearce out!

Who in though....?

Texting is so last year. You need to tweet or whatsupp or whatever it's called...

[Worthy4England]

"I honestly don't believe I should be here answering questions on behalf of the players," Pearce added after the Israel defeat."They should be here answering questions on why their performances were so poor, to be honest with you."I don't think it's my responsibility at this stage to answer for a performance as bad as that."We've lost games before, but collectively in this tournament we haven't delivered for whatever reason. The players have to come out and be strong and ask themselves 'how am I going to get better?'"From start to finish in the tournament the players haven't delivered."

So you lot, stop blaming Stuart.

It's not his fault.

[CrazyHorse]

My sources reveal that Gareth Southgate is being lined up to replace Pearce.

Thank the sweet baby Jesus for that. We're saved!
