Commented on another thread that he came across as very downbeat on Tues and in his interview with Dave Barton yesterday. That said, he didn't appear outwardly unwell yesterday so something has either come on very quickly, or he has been suffering with something physical or mental for a while. Either way, get well soon Nige. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exAtyeoMax Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 I was thinking the other day (before Tuesday) that his wife might put her foot down if he’s not well. He needs to take care of himself 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brady bunch Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 COVID is a weird illness and effects people in different ways, I tried to tough it out and realised after a few days you had to just accept you are ill and rest. NP is tough as old boots and a fighter, but even he will need to rest up. Wish him all the best and hope he stays on the bus, we need him. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 The wording, and the statement from Gould, is a bit worrying. I hope it doesn’t pan out like this, but I really wouldn’t be surprised if he did end up resigning. Get well soon Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get well soon Nigel It’s possible, he said when he joined how important family and life out of football is to him. He may think (and quite frankly should) that his health is more important. He may also think we aren’t worth the stress and aggravation. I recall saying at the time of his appointment we needed him more than he needed us. In any event like you all I hope he gets well soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattredrobin Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) Really hope nige takes the time to get better not good to rush back from illness and not be ready, could this explain why he's in the stands more often than not would explain why he does it.

Know of two people a lot younger than NP who’ve got stuck with that and it’s no joke.

Loco Rojo Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Football takes a backseat when it comes to health (mental or physical). Hopefully it's just a short term rest needed, but if it does result in him needing to resign, then I'll be gutted but completely understand. Priority is for him to get better, however long it takes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Geoff Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Wish him all the best, but echo the worries of other posters that ill health may force him to look at the bigger picture. He did say in a very early interview that he would give it everything if remaining healthy... remember his first bout of covid was very bad, he couldn't walk or get out of bed for weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalRed Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 1 hour ago, paul_fox said: As some comments above it wouldn't surprise me if he resigned due to health reasons. Pretty sure he said he's chilled out more before he joined us. So may decide the stress isn't worth it. Whereas our stress levels can't be solved so easily. We were stressed before he arrived and are still stressed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
