ajs202 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Just seen the Nicky has signed for Preston on a short term deal, must have the slowest full backs in their league now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWurzel Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Whatever you thought of him whilst here, you undoubtedly wanted him out of the club and that's now happened, so let him get on with the next chapter of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipdawg Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 What's actually worse is I presume we offered him a free transfer and circulated that to other clubs before and he wouldn't go without a pay off. Nice chap... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Ferret Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 PNE's manager Graham Westley is insane "FOOTBALL boss Graham Westley told his players to prepare for a 9/11-style terror attack in a bizarre late-night text. The Preston North End manager said al-Qaeda was targeting the team's hotel. Players were stunned by the text sent hours before Saturday's crunch game with Yeovil — which they lost 2-1. Westley, 43, wrote: "In view of the must win game tomorrow beware of the low flying aircrafts as we are in a very high hotel which will be a target for al quaeda leaders (sic). "If we come under attack we must stick together and keep evolving as a team and bring pain on them. Make sure u have right footwear on incase of such events." The text has puzzled stars at the League One club. A source said: "Nobody is quite sure what to make of it. They don't know if it is meant as a joke or what. and Last week Westley — who joined Preston from Stevenage earlier this month — dropped four players from the team in a 2am text. Westley apologised for delivering the news so late, claiming it had taken a long time to add all the players' numbers to his phone's address book. He said later: "I have always communicated in different ways and I have no plans to stop." but signing Nicky Hunt is madder than any of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night84 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 It will be interesting to see if PNE can get Hunt playing regularly and well. Obviously he has some ability and would of gone through a medical to sign a deal. I honestly hope he does well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Some PNE fans really, really hate Westley already. He is called 'David Brent', in some quarters. Its a disaster in waiting and they are fearing relegation again! Nicky Hunt was by all accounts looking for a deal closer to home, which makes sense given the amount of time he was at Bolton. Looks like Westley is doing the GJ style of management, handgrenades, odd signings the lot Sounds more extreme than that! If I was under his management I'd be suspicious of antics such as this; would certainly make me wonder if he wasn't out of his depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JammyOne Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 I hope he does well. I'm sure he's still a good player, he just needs someone to get his form and confidence back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillybuk Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Completely agree with JammyOne ..... i hope he does well and that he needs some confidence to get his form back. The Fans didn't like him and that doesn't help but at least he can start afresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 I hope he does well. I'm sure he's still a good player, he just needs someone to get his form and confidence back. Absolutely still a good player?... perhaps, just perhaps, at lower league level. If Preston go down to league 2 he may just find his level; there is not a chance he is good enough for the Championship or Del would have considered keeping him.

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Westley is a good manager, very good job at Stevenage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 If you ask me this is a real gamble for Preston, bit like City; took 2 big gambles before the board realised. Preston appointed Fergie and now Westley, two up and coming managers. The first jumped too soon and perhaps Westley will rue the day he did as well. Wonder if his choice of defenders might assist his demise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
