a_k_b Posted 22 September 2017 Share Posted 22 September 2017 Potentially a great appointment for OHL, I would only question 1 thing and that NP's desire. When managers reach the back end of their career (which i think he is at even at the age of 54) they seem to lose that edge/passion. It happens to the best of them even Fergie. I think this could well be NP's last job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 22 September 2017 Share Posted 22 September 2017 There are a couple of people here banging on negatively about NP that are far worse than I or Col with Cambiasso.Be warned: It earned me a year ban and now limited posting. Let it go guys. btw You're wrong. NP was great for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this could well be NP's last job. If he gets them promoted he is in the Belgian Premier League... if he puts a decent enough squad together he could be in Europe within three seasons....

Although I'm sure OHL wouldn't mind that! I just question what are his motives for taking the job? Unfinished business x2?? Time will tell, I wish him all the best whatever happens to him over there.

Bob Hazels shorts Posted 22 September 2017 Share Posted 22 September 2017 As it 'one of our own' we all (or most) are pleased and want him to do well. Whilst on the face of it if it was any other club we'd take joy and hope he fails. The guy has realized our respect and emotions. Wish him well, and in the current climate a bit envious.

I think this could well be NP's last job. I'd argue that he's smack bang in the middle of his career having had the best part of 2 years off after losing the best job he'd ever had for non-footballing reasons and basically through no fault of his own; with 4 months in the middle at a club that wasn't willing to give him the time, resources, trust or even breathing space to do what he knows he can do. Personally I think this is a perfect appointment for Nigel - it's a new experience in a new country, but it's also a chance for him to build a new dynasty at a new club with owners he knows and clearly still has a great relationship with and knows will grant him everything he needs. What's more I think this will give him redemption on both a personal and professional level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thursday_next Posted 22 September 2017 Share Posted 22 September 2017 Even if he never comes back here, I'm glad the rift between the Srivaddhanaprabha family and him has been settled to everyone's satisfaction. It used to grate with me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell, I wish him all the best whatever happens to him over there. I don't think it will be long before our January business is signing 20 year olds who move straight on loan to OHL. For this to be a success they'll have wanted someone in place that they know works well with developing young players. It might not be a case of what he wants, more, what King Power want and they've used their usual pulling power to get the man in they want to spearhead things.

He couldn't handle the pressures that came with it, that's why he became more and more bizarre every week. His ego was so big, he couldn't handle criticism from the press or fans, without resulting to insults, and bully boy tactics. This is the last reply on the subject, as i really can't be arsed to re live the Pearson debate, it got boring at the time. Some liked him, some thought he was an arrogant ****, but either way I really couldn't care less, he has no interest for me at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay so we're back to the irrelevant opinion of journos and 'personality'. If he was such a bully boy then he wouldn't have garnered such respect from the owners, the players and journalists of integrity. Fans who don't like him are in the company of clickbait journalists and Jimmy Bullard and that speaks volumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
