St.John Cooper 0 Posted October 2, 2006 He did not even have the pride or dignity to resign and save the board who have supported him a hard job. I think it says something on him as a person and his managerial style. That is GUTLESS! There are no thank you''s from me, only a regret that this did not happen 1 year ago. He has taken us back over the last 18 months and I can not thank NW for this. Thank god the board has finally reacted even if its a yeat to late, what do you say Dicky etc.....? or will you be protesting to have Nigel back? The board have seen the light have you?

komakino 272 Posted October 2, 2006 The board should of sacked him at Xmas 2004, but they couldn''t see the obvious. They are way too weak and the club has suffered through their naiveity.You can''t blame Nigel for hanging on because his contract was too good. He would of been a fool to throw the money away. Ask questions about the people that gave it to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

St.John Cooper 0 Posted October 2, 2006 Give it a rest! Living in the past...hardly, not even 24 hours in the past i just wanted to make it clear that in my opinion we have little to thank NW for and that the blind support he got from some fans was narrow minded.....the actions of fans kept in the dark and fed...you know what, Mr perm you seem to be one of those, but each to their own, i believe he has left us in a worse state than when he took over OTBC St.John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZLF 274 Posted October 3, 2006 I agree - its history and he has gone; its time to thank and say good bye to nigel and look forward to the future; no need for any more recriminations - that bitterness does help the club one iota Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salopian 1 Posted October 3, 2006 I have wanted him gone for many months, and I could accuse him of many things but never of being gutless.He must have known that he was out of his depth, lacking ideas and not knowing what to do, but he is not the sort to throw in the towel. I think that he is courageous, reinforced with obstinacy perhaps. Even after his last match, and until his dismissal, he was defiant as he believed he had the support of the Board. He found it difficult to cope, but he soldiered on.OK, he was on a wage that most of us will never achieve, and he was involved with a game he loved, so there weas an incentive, but bearing in mind the results, the demonstrations and comments here and elsewhere, it would have been understandable if he had gone. He didn''t, and you must concede courage in his carrying on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

komakino 272 Posted October 3, 2006 Sorry Vicar, but my views are not cheap opportunism. I wanted him sacked Xmas 2004, as I have said many times on these message boards. I could see we were going only one way and that was not forward! Sadly, I was proved right.I didn''t change my mind. I wanted Worthless out and I''m glad he''s gone, though the board need to look at their failure in this too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
St.John Cooper 0 Posted October 3, 2006 Courage, you must all be joking. It was stupidity, being stuborn, not willing to listen to others and not knowing when you have acheived all that you could. He had no idea and hung around for a pay off. If he had dignity he would have left. His whole style as manager was gutless, 1.0 up lets sit back and defend who can forget the play off final. In many ways he reminds me of Sven Goran, never prepared to take the tough decision. In this case it would have been standing down and saying I have done all I have give some one else a go!.. Toataaly gutless and nothing to do with courage you talk about courage in a football manger Nigel is not that man. I rather use the word courage for pople who fight cancer, fight in wars, single mothers and the poor. Nigel is not worthy (excuse ther pun) of that word!

Alex Harvey-Jones 0 Posted October 3, 2006 I don''t agree. I think Nigel has shown great guts with his reaction to the sacking and the way he has carried himself over the past week. I wanted him to go and am glad the board made the decision but my respect for Worthy has rocketed since Sunday evening! He had a contract - why should he walk away from that and sacrifice his job and financial stability?? From hearing him speak I genuinely believe he enjoyed the job and wanted to do the best for Norwich City. It was pleasing to hear of his pride for delivering silverware to Norwich and I hope he is successful in the future.If you''re looking for someone to blame its the board - they''re the ones who didn''t have the guts to sack him at the end of the season! Worthy took his sacking like a man, didn''t blame the players, wished the club well and even said sacking him would be best for the club - now that''s real guts for you!
