Maybe Coppell or Cotts count but I'm not sure we've really had a prominent appointment that every football fan knows. Will be very interesting to see how this shakes out. Welcome Nigel. First time since Coppell I'd suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. Let's hope Nigel is still with us next Tuesday then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Properly, seriously good appointment. Don't think Cotts was at the same level...............but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Robin Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Quite strange he didn't bring at least an assistant with him, but hopefully Simpson and Downing will be helpful aswell: surely they will have much work to do...and having some players back could make the mission less complicated.
