Daniro Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Starts off with his normal gruff manner but lightens up towards the end and says some interesting things: about Klose and how he trusts him; about the emerging coaching role for King, and how he MIGHT (in the unlikely event of any transfer business this week) have someone in mind for a perm contract and someone else for a loan. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pl00peh91 Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 When NP says that we will honour Baker’s contract, do we think his wages will be paid directly from the club or via an insurance policy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a guess & it’s only a guess. I would imagine that insurance would be paid, but any loss to him would be made up by City. Certainly would seem fair to me.

slartibartfast Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 I'm sorry, but can't the club afford even a tripod/mic stand? To me it looks a tad amateurish to have a disembodied arm waving in front of the manager (sort of thing we'd take the piss out of certain other clubs for ! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely in this day and age at a professional football club, with the facilities we have, we can do better than a random arm holding the mic? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COYR Really interesting interview once it moved on from Baker and team selections, where he was unlikely to say anything revelatory. Interesting insights into the clubs position - and his position - re. transfers & loans, and on not collecting players. Reassuring. I'm glad that we have someone with his experience at the helm.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 I love watching his interviews. The way he puts down the Press, and their non-sensical questions, always amuses me. You would have thought by now that they should be au fait with the workings of the club and the manner in which Nige operates but they never learn. Great stuff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 He gave a lot away there. Reference to needing a left sided player and a defender. Then talking about who to sign should we sell someone. You could easily summise 2 particular individuals being signed should Semenyo go.

Just out of interest How long does Baker have left on his contract? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Three takeaways I got were: 1) He now isn’t prioritising with a central midfielder 2) we are sticking with three at the back 3) those who suspect he doesn’t rate Pring are probably right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slartibartfast Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Listening to that, I reckon something MAY happen, he doesn't usually speculate about anything, but to hear him mention .....one perm. one loan,sounds interesting , we'll see . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Sounded like Bristol City’s deadline is different to THE deadline or at least Nige would like it to be. Quite right too, what’s the point of doing business in the last hour when you can’t replace who you’ve sold? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 I think Nige's speculation is if semenyo is sold, and possiblly Scott as well, 1 permanent signing comes in to replace Antoine and Scott is sold and loaned back? All massive speculation for the press to enjoy like Nige indicated 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin for life Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 I wouldn't be surprised to see Alex Scott be sold and loaned back. I would be very surprised if we sold Semenyo and he got loaned back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
