petehinton Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 I doubt he’ll be legally allowed to say too much, but imagine the club will be shitting themselves a bit that he could potentially be telling the true story on such a huge podcast that’ll get very big traction. 2 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacked on 29 October 2023 right? So 6 months is 29 April 2024. Does this podcast come out after that date? 6 months is a fairly common length of time in settlement agreements...it might be that he can say certain things from Monday onwards...? PS (I may be guilty of stirring the pot a bit here) PPS I thought I was quite up on the football podcasts but I'd never heard of this one. Is it big?

It’s big on the basis that Sam Allardyce hosts it, and it’s sponsored by Hills, so social clips/presence and listener numbers will be pretty big. Having a browse through old episodes, they are all big names. Imagine it goes into the top 15/20 consistently with every new episode they release. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I may be guilty of stirring the pot a bit here) My guess is that the NDA may run until the end of his contract as a minimum. Working this logically, managers if sacked still get paid until their contract cessation in football so I’d imagine if Nige says anything before June 30th (assuming that’s when his contract ends) there may be repercussions.

You may be right, but I think it depends on whether he wants to work at a club again. Would you employ someone who'd slagged off his previous employers once it was legally possible?

Is the other most logical gagging date yes. 1 minute ago, Calculus said: Would you employ someone who'd slagged off his previous employers once it was legally possible? In a sport where a player can go to prison, come out, and be re-employed, or where a man who stubbed a cigar out on an academy player can get a job, a little bit of truth telling hardly seems like career suicide. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a big difference between slagging off, and airing his side of the story. Actually may make him more employable, if they understand the reasons of the departure. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mozo Posted April 22 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 22 I don't think Nige would fire shots at SL even if he's entitled to. I reckon he'll say things like, "We felt that we'd laid the foundations for success", "Year on year improvement", "Confident that we could have acheived given time", "Chairman/board saw it differently", "Fans and players believed in what we were doing", "Nothing surprises me in football these days." 24 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but he comes across as a very thoughtful bloke and I have no doubt he'll be choosing his words very carefully to remain professional but also provide a few subtle nods along the way as well. He's not going to outright say anything rude or stupid of course, but I wouldn't be surprised if he makes what he wants to known as well. We'll see! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing he said during his time with us that surprised me was alongside lines of: "At Watford, we knew what the owners are like so when the opportunity came we thought, yeah let's have some fun with it while it lasts." I suspect that will come up on the pod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my knowledge he's not a practised journalist, and I think the only time I've seen him asking questions is over a pint of wine...which went poorly for him. I think I just want to know whether Pearson thought we had a squad capable of competing at the top of the division. I'd also be interested to know whether he thinks there are any managers out there that play his style of football, but do it better than him.

Yes. Mr Pearson is a gentleman and would gain nothing from slagging off the owners. He’ll likely say it as it is though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"How well are those back-stabbing pains healing?" and "do you remember how and when they first started?" I'm no doctor. but I'd suggest he was suffering from a severe case of Tinnionitus 1 13 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
