Read his backstory, definitely had a tough old start in life & it is incredibly impressive what he has made of himself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRed Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 CF and NP obviously close as former team mates with a history going back a long way. My view is that we are a bit more “grown up” these days. It was a criticism of the LJ years that he’d been given too much, “too many toys” was sometimes said. Not his fault, TBH, but it doubtless led to the tinkering and uncertainty, players sidelined etc, that we often saw. No such luxury these days for Nige but the impression when listening to Curtis is that the two of them are open and honest with no attempt to baffle us with the coaching complexity and excuses of recent seasons. That will be a blessed relief even if we only finish 10th-15th. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldstandrobin Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 Good addition to the back room, seems like a match for NP as assistant COYR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing at all, just I didn’t know he was Irish and wasn’t expecting the accent. Just pointing out things I observed during his interviews 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His determination and decency shine through. I think we’re very lucky to have him. Another masterstroke by big Nige. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coach Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 I don't think we would have had a personality of Curits at the club under the previous regime. Put it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
