Bris Red Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 (edited) Nah, he was perfect as our manager not DOF and i don't believe he ever wanted that role or title anyway.. All Nige needed was a competent CEO above him and more importantly the funds/nest egg to spend and he would have been successful. The Lansdowns and particularly Steve really are ******* idiots, they put their ego's above the greater good of the football club and always will. *****!

Not likely at all but I could've accepted the change ie bringing in LM or such like if Nige could've taken charge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capman Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 I think we all know the answer to that. The ‘establishment’ at the club would rather fail than be challenged by someone who understands football. They will lie and fail in order to protect their egos. No class, no ambition, no respect for the club. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Tinnion and Jon Lansdown should be ashamed. Steve Lansdown will need to step back in to stop the slide into a relegation battle. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh1t_ref_again Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 The perfect DOF who always said he doesn't want to be one and does not deal with agents, does not sound perfect to me, more clutching at straws 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

38MC Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 Tbf @Shauntaylor85 that’s quite a few different topics/polls/discussion points tonight. If you beat the drum too much you can lose the audience. Manning is incompetent, the decision to relieve nigel was equally incompetent, but we aren’t going to rewind the clock. Nigel is (wrongly) gone, but he’s gone for good. The next step is for Manning and Tinnion to sling their hook too, and for the Lansdown’s to (finally) eat some humble pie and realise the medicine they need is not the medicine they want to swallow… but it’s the only way Steve is getting his exit plan. Appoint an experienced manager, and experienced CEO, and trust them from afar. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B******s. I think they don't like him because he pointed out a few home truths. I posted earlier that my dream would be for new ownership & them to appoint Nige as DOF. All his good work is quickly unravelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmon mate he wasn’t good enough to be our manager let alone director of football according to the people in charge,we all know if Nige was even offered the job he would tell them where to get off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that actually suit Nige and his skill set? My impression was that he was a manager who wanted to work with coaches, but still pick the team and tactics himself. What he needed was to work with an experienced CEO and be given some funds to replace Scott. A Director of Football would probably be too removed from the frontline for Nige. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAmNick Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 Seems like a job entailing all the bits he seemed to hate about working in football, and none of the stuff he liked. I'd be very surprised if he was interested in it, even in the alternative universe it'd take for him to be offered it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 Yep, DoF is not for Nige. Football Manager will suffice, eh @redsquirrel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
