Popular Post Davefevs Posted December 27, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 No, this isn’t what’s happening, but it is the first stage of what will happen if Nige is sacked / leaves. Is this what we need at this crucial point of the season? There is no planning, ie someone lined up, so will take a while / weeks to sort. Sorry for a misleading headline…always best to read the whole thing! 1 18 3 4 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 Dave- I think you're losing it. Never has I seen anyone quite so obsessed with the defence of a manager. The Inheritance tax thread you started. It's almost like you're laying a trail of justification. Just maybe you have been wrong and Nige is not the man to take this club forward and maybe at some point you will have to hold your hands up and say "I was wrong"? In my opinion, obvs. 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just maybe you have been wrong and Nige is not the man to take this club forward and maybe at some point you will have to hold your hands up and say "I was wrong"? In my opinion, obvs. I’m not losing it…I’m quite clear actually. I defend him because I see what he is trying to build / re-build. I believe it is what is needed. That is why I posted what I did in the thread you quote. No trail of justification. I think this squad is good enough for bottom half and above a long relegation battle. We are currently entering one, no arguments there, but it could just be temporary. We will see if it is a second half season long one. I’ve consistently laid out where I think this squad is in terms of quality, and I believe it is between 13-18th. We are currently at the wrong end of that group. It has closed up beneath us too, which makes it seem more precarious….in fact it is precarious. But I do want to see what happens over the next 4-5 weeks until the end of January. I will have no problem admitting I was wrong if that turns out to be the case. I am most definitely not trying to shift a position where I come out and say “see I told you he was the wrong man”. I think he is the right man, but remember I’ve also ALWAYS said I think someone else will come in and benefit from what he’s built. That maybe because he failed (I was wrong - hands up) or because he completed the rebuild ready for someone else. Time will tell. Maybe my “hands up” may come quickly. At that point, I will get behind the next man, I’m big enough and ugly enough to admit when I’m wrong. 11 minutes ago, BasSavage88 said: Sorry Bas.

robinforlife2 Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 Hopefully Lansdown sees this thread, sees who posted it and thinks without reading it, that Big Nige aka Davefevs wants the boot and relieves him of his duties. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where we are, and until there is some planning, this is where we will always be. The people who run the club saw a man who had achieved little in his last few jobs, managed 2 wins in 10 games whilst in temporary charge, and had already started showing his abrasiveness and decided he should get a 3 year contract as manager. This is a mess of their own making and each time they make a change without giving it sufficient thought they make it worse and worse. I'm not exactly "Pearson out" because I was never "Pearson in". It was a stupid move from the start, but to get rid of him without a plan might well be even stupider. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 To answer the OP I genuinely no longer know. Euell would be a massive gamble but when NP goes this is almost certainly the road that we’re going down (or Andy King) so we probably ought to at least get our heads around it. There are supposedly plans for more changes in the playing staff next month than in the previous 2 Januarys, (you don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes for instance to work out why Martin wasn’t in the squad yesterday) my hunch is that 2 more defeats might well spell the end of NP, so who knows what that would mean there. The optimist in me says an unproven young coach has to come right for us at some point, but this is a difficult & crucial time for anyone to step up. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think there is no planning for the future??… Remember the shambles that was the Holden appointment? Ashton said we had “high calibre candidates both in the UK & Europe”, we then farted around deciding whether to appoint Hughton or not before appointing LJ’s assistant after 6 weeks of searching, what do you think? 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do accept others have a different viewpoint, it’s why I post, to have a good discussion about it, bring different context to the discussion. I’m pretty polite in the way I discuss on here, I don’t just say things like “you’re wrong”, I try and discuss, I try to bring out people’s thoughts as to why they feel the way they do.
