Sheltons Army Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 The repeated praise for ‘Steve’ that he was prepared to back the acquisitions of Knight , Dickie , Roberts before we sold Scott was cringeworthy tbh I was going to say a good attempt to try and explain the difference in income to expenditure , to fans , and to placate ,but it wasn’t 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though not from the man himself, of course. That's the thing with bullshit. If you get someone else to say it, you can deny culpability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the lack of commentary regard NP from the guy was very obvious! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Journalist Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 I listened to the interview earlier and was surprised he wasn’t asked whether the club actually want Pearson to stay or whether Pearson himself wants to stay. I thought he was given an easy ride, in all honesty. You can ask the same question using different words that make it much harder to dodge… 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just refused to comment on the situation, though my conclusion is the same as yours. As others have said, plenty of praise for “Steve” but nothing for Nigel. It’s understandable that he had to tow the party line, but I thought it was a very bland interview.

Shuffle Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 (edited) Also said we had good squad depth which if you’re considering 17 outfield players enough then fine. Then said we need to be lucky with injuries but what if we aren’t Phil as surely we needed to plan for that & I don’t just mean TGH to cover RB. Seems the fact that Nige consistently said that Knight was signed to play with Scott that there wasn’t a plan B if he went, as Scott had to be sold as we already had purchased his replacement & added to squad. Geoff Twentyman was a hard act to follow but felt interviewer didn’t challenge or probe further. Fine if Lansdown doesn’t want to fund it as his choice but move the club on then Steve & drop this our budget is higher than Luton’s and they went up,so we can on comparable budget.

redkev Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 Knowing Nige I reckon he will stay as long is possible and do everything he can to make it impossible to be sacked , think we may well surprise a few if we can get a fully fit squad , then Nige gets offered a new contract and says up yours im off . 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s understandable that he had to tow the party line, but I thought it was a very bland interview. Perhaps the questions could have been a bit more probing and difficult Particularly given Nige has: reduced the wage bill by approaching £10m per annum, reduced amortisation cost by around £9m per annum, generated sales of around £35m, still kept us competitive on the pitch with a tiny injury hit squad. And yet he appears to have no supporters in the club’s hierarchy. 10 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
