Thanks for everything you’ve done too Squirrel . The disgusting and disrespectful way Nige was treated has left a really bad taste. It’s been comforting to know that at least Nige is aware there are a large number of fans who fully support him and are grateful for what he’s done for the club in really tough circumstances. With your invaluable help and efforts, he well knows he had infinitely more support from our fanbase than from those clowns running this club.

Street red Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 Thank you @redsquirrel for this, Am I jealous true right I am Just kidding shows what a man he is and absolutely graceful for the hard work he achieved at city especially giving our players the confidence to move forward.Im still livid about what happened and my feelings towards the owners haven't changed one bit. We need a new direction without doubt. A manager that has more experience in football than Steve Jon and tinman put together. Once again cheers Nige 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dredd Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 I don't think I've ever seen a reaction like this to a City manager being sacked. Genuinely most of us could see what he was doing, was right behind him and the team and were happy to show the rarest of commodities from a football fan - patience. That's because we could see what was being built and against what restraints he was working with. The closest I can put to it was probably GJ leaving. Got us within a whisker of the PL but I think the general acceptance was it was the right time to move on. Cotts I will admire and respect forever but he was taking us down that season (without funds from the board I'll add). Side question, does anyone remember the last time we had a manager poached from us? Was it P*lis? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll always be a city fan & will go back when I’ve had a bit of a break . The club just seemed with Gould & nige in charge we were in good hands & I thought we were building again . We then get another CEO who seemed the right fit , only for **** ups from above again . One step forward & two back all the time with them in charge. I completely get this. NP, Gould- Tinnion in his correct position to the current flux. At best we can say they seem intent on doing things the hard way..to add to your post, I have big doubts about (seemingly) them not pushing harder to keep James, the lack of King coaching potential- for context Ipswich reportedly were looking to keep Aluko on post retirement in some capacity and King is far better qualified for this on many levels. There are some fundamental flaws in respect of the Lansdowns and Tinnion. Unsure what to make of Marshall and Rawcliffe either, the former seems to he spread thin if he is a Group CEO.

Because they want to do it the 'pure' way. The only premier league experience we now have is Wells and I'd say he's on the list of players we'd like to dispose of too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gert Mare Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 Please he’s on the mend. I got what he was trying to do here and was hugely disappointed that his services were disposed of. I wish him all the best for the future. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing this redsquirrel. I don't think there's ever been the same level of support for any City manager who's been sacked. I think everybody is still reeling about the manner in which he was dealt with. Most could see what he was building. Its a measure of the man to suggest to keep supporting the new coach. Unlike a lot of football fans, I think we are very patient and supportive, so his sacking really was/still is quite a shock. Its comforting to know that he appreciates the support he has from the fanbase. Good luck for the future Nige, you'll always be welcome here. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
