Not sure how you’ve come to that conclusion.

He’s still got my support and had plenty of credit in the bank, but needs to arrest the home performances quickly. Poor home form, no matter what you’re doing away from home, will turn a crowd.

To say we should give him a new contract because the two previous managers weren’t up to it is a ridiculous argument though.


As it stands we’ve got more points than we had last season, so he’s in credit as he stands, like you id be expecting us to push on from last season.

in regards to whether we should give him a new contract because of his predecessors sadly you’ve completely misinterpreted a point. The point being is that if such a discussion was had upstairs (which i really can’t see there would be) you’d be looking at what better alternatives are out there and what chopping and changing managers every season has achieved and the answer to both would be not a lot.

However, a lot of the problems which clough is complaining about is largely null and void as he’s responsible for it.

‘All you’ve got to do is look at his two predecessors in the management hot seat and any talk of getting rid of him becomes a folly’

That to me says we’d be foolish to think about getting rid of him because the previous two managers didn’t do very well. What have I misunderstood?

Yes, any talk of getting rid of him at present is a folly, especially when you look at what we’ve had previously.Where’s the part where i said anything about him getting a new contract? as said you misinterpreted, again. :lol:

I'm sure there'll be a lot of responses saying you lot aren't enjoying his management style either, so all in all maybe a fresh face and new manager would be best for fans all round. Proper and temporary.


So, you're saying that you think he's out of his depth?

Ahh that old chestnut.

Absolute rubbish. I've not insulted anyone and other views are fine.

Or is it only others who can come back with a response and I should just stay quiet in case it upsets someone?

I asked Mark the question as his posts are often muddled, he replied honestly and without taking offence and his reply helps me understand his posting style better.

I made the comment again as there is no way anyone could have read (& understood) what I posted and think it means I think Nigel is out of his depth.

There is a range of intelligence levels as much as there is a range of ages on here. I am trying to remember (or even check) that before I respond too aggressively to someone who has difficulties or is a child.

Hope that clears things up.

This shouldn't even be a discussion yet. Get behind him and the lads until the end of the season and see where we are at.

I think we will come good again.

It would make things a lot easier.

4 games ago we were 15 points up on last season.
We are now 7 points ahead of last season.

We are about to enter the period of games where last season we won 8 on the spin. I'll be very (pleasantly) surprised if we are still ahead of the curve in 8 games time.

Click on the posts on my username and that is obviously not true, I've even been known to back you up.

From now on I'll try and lower my 'intelligence level' so I can speak to you as an equal. I'll also bear in mind that what you type in your posts when you're angry may be the opposite of what you actually mean, a good example is your original post...

Forget who he is and the reputation he came with and two years on it all looks very ordinary from an average manager. Jan transfer window a big one and then I would have thought he needs top seven again. Exactly what you would now expect this season of any manager.
