Pearce: Blame me, not the players
Stuart Pearce vowed to continue soaking up the bulk of the criticism after his Manchester City players crashed out of the Carling Cup at the hands of Coca-Cola League One hosts Chesterfield.
The Barclays Premiership strugglers took the lead in their second round clash at Saltergate but went on to lose 2-1. Although there appears no immediate likelihood of Pearce losing his job, the former England captain knows he must start getting victories sooner rather than later.
"The first one who takes the flak is me," he said. "When I walk away, I am the one who should take the criticism, not the players. They gave me everything on the pitch but as you would expect they are bitterly disappointed."
