Since Pearce took over, City have won back-to-back home games including beating Liverpool, a team they usually struggle against. A comprehensive win over Birminingham last night (admittedly a poor Birmingham), 2 away draws (Fulham and Charlton) and an unlucky loss to Spurs at home in his first game. There are still 4 games to be played this season, and maybe I'm jumping the gun a bit but things are looking up.
According to City sources its Pearce who is responsible for transforming the defence from leaky and unpredictible to one of the tighter defences in the Premiership. In fairness it was hardly Keegan!
When he was a player he was uncompimising and took responsibility for his own actions. Looks like he has carried that through to Management as well. He has come out and said he takes responsibility for Citys form getting worse as the season went on, even though he was not in charge. Also in his first few games there were 2 controversial refereeing decesions that led to goals. He refused point blank to criticise either ref and thats refreshing in the Premiership these days.
He clearly wants the job badly, the fans want him, and he's done the business so far.
Overall a class act.
