exAtyeoMax Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 3 hours ago, Silvio Dante said: I think it’s becoming apparent there was no plan, other than they needed an excuse to jettison Nige. Had they lined a manager up, he’d be here by now - Eustace/Lampard if wanted are available and we’ve clearly been sounding people out for weeks. The mealy mouthed rationale, the not fronting up, the doing it at this juncture and the no movement on replacement suggests that they sacked Nige as they had to go before winnable games and players back from injury. If Lansdowns and Tinnion had one inch of courage, they’d have still sacked him after a win - but that wouldn’t play to their bullshit narrative. I have no issue in taking time over an appointment to get it right. However, as @Kid in the Riot says, the clock for finding a replacement didn’t start last Sunday - it started some time ago. It’s wholly plausible also we’ve lost some candidates who don’t want to report to an illiterate Geordie and a know nothing Nepo baby, and the interviews/the way they’ve handled things have tipped people over the edge. No plan. No clue. No credibility. what a bunch of ******* morons 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 That was a very polite way of saying the sacking was ridiculous. Really hope he gets his 3 points Saturday as he gets soaked on the touchline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bearded_red Posted November 2, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 It’s made me even angrier that interview to be honest. What a culture and professionalism Nige was building, surrounded himself with top people because he’s so comfortable in his own skin he doesn’t mind being challenged. Look at the loyalty that Nige gets from players and staff. And it’s ending. Because the little worms that run this club can’t take being challenged, can’t deal with a bloke who knows what success looks like. Need their football manager to be some lickspittle that jumps up and down telling everyone how wonderful the Lansdowns are. It’s an absolute ******* joke. Self sabotage FC. Sell up and **** off. 44 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has overseen a reset in every aspect of football operations which in previous years would have seen us drop down to League 1 and have to build back better [that phrase seems familiar!!] Totally with you on all of that. NP provided the massive kick up the arse this club has needed for so long and built a great backroom team and culture. All this whilst managing to preserve our Championship status. He’s also kicked out the deadwood and wasters and assembled a team who battle for each other and wear the shirt with pride Instead of being grateful and taken the guidance on bosrd, the incompetents running the club have fought back and kicked his feet out from under him. I wouldn’t put it past the numbskulls to undo everything and take us back to where we were before he arrived. You just couldn’t make it up!!! 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) 17 minutes ago, Alessandro said: Slightly paraphrased but main takeaways: Players and staff in shock Knock on to 30 or 40 people, other employees, when a manager goes - not just one person is sacked. Nige will be back and they will work together again David Rennie one of the best in the business and has done a fantastic job 2 wins in next 2 games and table would have/will look very different 4 weeks time and the conversations over injuries would be very different - i.e many are returning over next 4 games or so, already 3 back in contention for Saturday His focus is on Saturday and that's it - focus is on the boys(players) - absolutely no conversation about putting name in the hat Talked a bit about Nige's achievements and legacy - culture installed and proud of what they've done here. Sad to be leaving, it's a great club, who wouldn't be sad Thanks for summarising. We knew it already, will watch in full later but that just reaffirms how stitched up NP and his staff were.

ralphindevon Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 Curtis is in danger of becoming the latest favourite for the job and his own OTIB thread. It does feel the 2nd heavily influences the 1st though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 As if we needed confirmation Curtis confirms what a shower of shit are now running the club, wouldn’t surprise me if he was released tomorrow, after all he did use the word Nigel several times. How anyone can think that Rennie didn’t know what he was doing needs to take notice of a fellow professionals view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Rs Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 Really like Curtis, top quality bloke. Is it only me that thinks he makes talking about an upcoming game sound like the boys are going into a war. If and when a new manager comes in I hope he sticks around but seems very unlikely. Good interview. Good coach. Good luck for Saturday. COYR 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing keeping me believing something will happen before Saturday is Steve Lansdown’s self-preservation. If there is no new boss in the dugout this week then Lansdown will be barracked all game. If there’s a new boss then it takes away the vitriol which will head his way. depends if its Lee Johnson or not 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben1980 Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) Great press conference- loved the detail on the injuries- showed how much rubbish that snake Tinnion was talking. It’s such an unnecessary act of self sabotage to get rid of Nige. It is so obvious that we were tracking in the right direction. The club is a shambles- piss off Lansdowns ffs.

W-S-M Seagull Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 This press conference was basically a response to 'the response' Top man Curtis is. He's gonna be a big loss to us when he's suddenly sacked too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole interview was unpinned with a philosophical, “that’s football” kind of vibe - but the meanings were clear. As @petehinton said, he came out swinging for his mates, often in a read between the lines way, got some excellent points in and as always what he didn’t say was as loud as what he did say. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street red Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 To me he seemed choked they loved being here they knew something good was happening. People need to realise it was'nt just on a match day the hard work was getting the off field problems right the mental attitude of players etc etc massive amounts of work. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
