I really hope there is a solution for his back problems, will he take another job? only Nige knows that one, I think he'll be in demand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that the City job will be his last so I assume that he’s retired from the football industry. Being an outdoor type he can found on the Mendips or the Somerset Levels or ‘in a little pub somewhere’ I really hopes he makes the best of his retirement and recovers from his back problems asap. 5 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossi the Robin Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 If he sorts his issue out I can’t see him retiring That’s the best version of Nige, more mature and methodical- he still has lots to offer 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because him and us expected him to see out his contract and be offered a new one? So him potentially being here 5-6 years. So as his reign was cut short I suspect he does feel like he has another job in him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nige has been involved in the football industry as a player and manager since was 18 - that’s over 4 decades. He’s moved up and down the country numerous times and judging from his comments after his dismissal I’m pretty sure he ready to retire. We’ll just have to wait and see I guess. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What in his comments made you think that? I saw his comments as him leaving the door open for a potential return in the future.

Shelton’s Love Gravy Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 I am hoping to see him up on the Mendips. (In fact I have been going up there looking for him, every single day since he got sacked). No joy yet though. Poo. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Rich Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 Saw he was 33/1 for the ROI job! Obviously can't see that happening, but would be interesting if it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One village is Priddy is a hot spot for walkers. It used to have two pubs but whether they’re still there I don’t know. I also know the Somerset Levels really well having lived there for most of the 80s. They too cover a vast area from the Polden Ridge right across to Wedmore. 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sglosbcfc Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 I can see him doing a Warnock and managing into his 70s. He has loads to offer and if he gets fit there will be a lot of clubs after him. I don't think he'll want his career to end with a sacking at City, I think there is more to come in the Nigel story.

Scrumpty Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 In the interest of balance, I wonder what Joey is doing now?

In the 80s I was working in Wells Somerset and consequently know the Mendips very well. Whilst still working there we moved to Meare on the Somerset Levels and from there moved into Glastonbury - at the time we only had one car which I used to get to work and with no buses my wife with two small toddlers felt isolated. Thats why we moved - happy wife, happy life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
