Popular Post 1960maaan Posted December 14, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 He was the Manager I wanted, the Manager I thought we needed and the Manager I didn't think we would get because of the owner(s) . The fanbase seemed fully behind him ( as fully as it gets ) , even through those fallow times losing loads of players and cutting the wage bill. I didn't particularly like the pressers early on, but grew to enjoy them as he seemed to mellow or relax. Gutted he went earlier than I wanted, the summer would have made more sense , but there you are. Cheers Nige 20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were really that bothered about progress or a perceived lack thereof, they could've offered NP another 12 months on top of where his existing contract was due to end. I think that would be June 2025? Then review where we are before either offering a new contract or not. JL and whoever else could make this clear to NP and the fans that this was the strategy and what the expectation would be at that point i.e. May / June 2025. At least this strategy would be understandable and more importantly known by all including the fans. If a change was then needed, then everyone would at least have an understanding of why. Apart from that, top class X / Twitter post NP. Hopefully Tins will get to see if from somewhere. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GrahamC Posted December 14, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 Let’s hope he’s restored to full health.

Sheltons Army Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 I may be wrong but I got the impression that he really bought into the Club But not to the degree of Lee Johnson who ‘loved the club’ as some repeatedly claimed on here , obviously 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) Wish NP all the best with his health, hope it is restored in full. For the great salvage job he did here, he should still be leading the progression tbh. Seriously missed, big shoes to fill. Plus his staff too, NP, Fleming, Euell, Rennie- football side was in very safe hands. I hope his health is restored and he gets a good job somewhere.

2015 Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 Him, Fleming, Euell, Gould are the only leaders this club have had since Cotterill left the club in 2016. He will be sorely missed.

I came here to say this. Nige has always been an absolute expert in delivering indirect messages. Whilst I'm sure Nige wishes us all the best there will be part of him that looks at our performances and results and will have a wry smile about his sacking.

A couple of years ago I found myself kayaking in Bristol with Grace Williams who'd just been brought in by Nige to be Women's General Manager. She'd known Nige from their time at Watford together and she told me how he worked, and what a great guy he was. Nige had stayed in touch with her and recommended her to the role at City. Grace left City in the summer to become Head of Women's Football at Crystal Palace. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was more than that. You could see that from the new signing videos. I believe also at times he would also take part in some coaching sessions?
