Recent history tells us that he inherited a shit situation, and kept us competitive in the championship…something others couldn’t do…whilst gradually improving us. And he had to sell his best players…apart from he wasn’t to invest at anywhere near the levels of others. I think most “Nige fans” are hugely respectful of the job he did rather than see him as anything like the messiah that his non-fans try to claim we see him as. 42 6 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted November 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) 5 hours ago, slartibartfast said: I would say the latter . One thing there can’t be is a downturn. I think most people would take similar results to achieved by Nige if performances improved. History has shown though we’re less patient to accept results if performance is poor (I’m thinking Holden). The QPR game was one where we expected a point minimum no matter who was in charge but the poor nature of the performance reflected badly. Summary: I think, unless results go through the roof with worse performance, we’d take performances improving primarily. If, however, results stay the same/marginally improve or worsen and performance takes a downturn, then I think that’s what causes the most potential issues Edited November 21, 2023 by Silvio Dante 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only two things that will matter, performances and results. Completely agree. Again I found him a tough listen, although the questions were very bland, apart from touching on the personal aspect very slightly. Manning speaks very quickly but manages to say very little and litters statements with almost Lee Johnson level buzz words (really don’t want to hear “principles” again!) that don’t really give any meaning. To your point though no one will care if he wins games and gets promotion. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
