Real Madrid Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 While not only being an incompetent manager, having relegated 2 Premiership teams in his time in charge and had countless failures with the England under 21's it's being reported today that Pearce did the same thing that John Terry is to stand trial for, which in turn caused the resignation of Capello. And with brothers like this would you trust this man with the Olympic team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nips Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 While I despise Pearce, I'm willing to defend him a bit on this one. He's apparently pretty much disowned his brother, and the Ince incident was how many years ago? While racism has never been ok in any day and age, it's difficult to draw a fair comparison with the Terry situation as things were a lot different then. Plus, according to the FA, Terry got the captaincy taken off him because of the media circus that would surround him and the team during the Euros, rather than being because he was accused of racism. Which would explain why they didn't remove the captaincy when he was first charged. Pearce's view on Scots should be enough reason why he shouldn't be manager of Team GB, however that's another debate altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have missed this. What are his views? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abernethy Saint Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I doubt he'd get a game, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nips Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I must have missed this. What are his views? I have vague memories of him in his playing days talking about not wanting to shake hands with the Scotland team before/after games and how he hated them. For what it's worth I've no problem with that but find it a bit hypocritical that he is now looking to pick young Scots for his Team GB.

nips Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Is anyone remotely interested in Team GB ? Apparently the Team GB strip was the second biggest seller in Greaves Sports in Glasgow when it was released, so there must be some. Although I imgaine a fair amount of those buying them would be the great unwashed from Govan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wish i was Joe McGurn Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Apparently the Team GB strip was the second biggest shoplifting item in Greaves Sports in Glasgow when it was released, so there must be some. Although I imgaine a fair amount of those stealing them would be the great unwashed from Govan. Fixed that for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
