1 win in the last 13 matches and that was against a poor Blackburn team. That's terrible for a team with arguably the biggest playing budget in the Championship, I'm amazed NP is still mumbling his apologies after every game !
Blackburn were worse than poor, they might as well have not been there. As I say, the last couple of months have been very poor, but unbelievably we're still in with a shout. Well, a whisper. As far as Pearson goes, well it's the same old crap after every game: continue to work hard on the training ground, should have got something from the game etc. We won't go up, and I suspect Pearson won't be escorted out of the building until its confirmed.
Going back to the beginning of your post. The 'biggest playing budget' comment is misleading. In his time here Eriksson was given pretty much a free hand to spend vast amounts of money on players who weren't up to standard: Ball, Johnson, Beckford, Danns, Mills, Peltier, Paintsil, St Ledger. That's a lot of wages. NP has had to build his own team while also trying to dismantle the overpaid and under-talented squad Eriksson left behind. That's a big task when you also consider the likes of Wellens and Logan had inexplicably been handed new contracts.
