CotswoldRed Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 This is refreshingly straightforward. Zero politics and zero meaningless clichés and catchphrases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 I mean sure, he's verbose, but there's a world of difference between rambling on a bit and "bullshit". He's not dodging questions, or churning out corporate buzzwords...although as I type they're talking about "identity"...but yeh, he does go round the houses.

ExiledAjax Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 BN thanks the fans (although possibly not @bristolcitysweden) for the welcome, and says we'll see if it [the welcome/warm feelings] lasts when we 'have a hiccup'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 I hope NP doesn't get curious and come on here to see how well received his interview was. He'd think the club was supported by a bunch of fruitcake mentalists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curr Avon Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 All the hallmarks of a great leader. Been there, done that, but sooo down to earth. I've heard that he's also partial to craft beer. Its very early days, but I'm excited by the potential to really make an impact next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Red Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Interesting he says he has struck up a ‘’good’’ relationship with Mark Ashton, make of that what you will... He talks really well though, he was my first choice and definitely the best gaffer we could have wished for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOXO Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Brushing over a couple of comments on this thread, SOTC was an excellent listen. As @CotswoldRedsaid, the bloke has been here a week, so I’m not sure how tough questioning has to be, but good to know that the license fee is being paid overseas for those who didn’t get their monies worth in Scandinavia! However joking apart GT could hardly get a question in as the bloke was spending the entire 20 minutes spewing information at us. Excellent in view of the communications having been awful for years now. The lads who came on were good and the bit about Gerry was a trip down memory lane...Good show and I will buy the book!!

Big Nige is an experienced guy in the football industry and knows that a good relationship with Ashton is important so he’s hardly like to say anything negative especially as he’s been in post less than a week and would like a longer stay at City. He’ll have come across similar corporate guys at different clubs and if NP thinks they’re doing a decent job then no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 An interesting comment for anyone that didn’t listen, he said that if you catch him in the wrong moment he can come across as “obnoxious”. He was trying to say he’s not perfect but he’s self-aware. I get the impression that he’s aware of his notoriety but he wants to change the perception. He did, however, also say that he doesn’t mind being the pantomime villain if people turn on him. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
