NO SOUR PEAR

NIGEL PEARSON has no grudge with former club Watford before facing them for the first time since his sacking.

Pearson was axed having steered the Hornets out of the drop zone before they were ultimately relegated that campaign.

The Bristol City boss said: “I don’t hold any grudges. It’s just how it is.

“I went into the job knowing it probably wasn’t going to be a long-term thing.

“I enjoyed it for what it was – a big challenge.”
