cosmic Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Just to balance this out before we forget who we are and where we've been, Nigel also says something interesting on how his Dad liked honest players: "He used to work with genuine and honest players. If he brought someone in and they wouldn't change, he wasn't averse to admitting his mistakes. He would have moved them on." A philosophy that Nigel, to his credit, implemented at Derby and formed this "family" of players that are performing so well together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcnram Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 He's made references about Rush several times. I would love to read these references, can you point me to them please? It shouldn't be difficult if it has been done several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Rush has had enough digs at Nigel too. Two blokes who don't seem to get on. I think it's happened before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcnram Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 It wasn't a tough call in my eyes, it had been staring us in the face for a couple of years. Only some of us could see how much the guy was holding us back. I'm not surprised by these kind of outbursts given the way he used to single out players in the press for abuse after games. These comments are comical - What outburst? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to spend time looking for quotes from him. Don't think I need to we all know he's said things since he was fired. If you push I'm sure someone will get them up to satisfy you.

Anon Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Actually, I'm Simon. I'd be surprised if Nigel is on this forum since he said he "never wanted anything to do with that cesspool of a club, it's illiterate fans and that scumbag Sam Rush ever again" last time he came round for Sunday dinner.

Scott129 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Sam Rush has never been an agent. Nigel Clough is definitely not a bitter man, he prefers a glass of wine. He was the COO of Wasserman Media Group, who represented loads of athletes. Also the director of the Association of Football Agents and voted one of the "World's Leading Agents" as well, apparently.

Scott129 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Sam Rush was with Wasserman as COO. He was never an agent. I imagine to be a director and a COO in agencies, you have to have some previous experience of actually being in the industry. Not to mention the fact that, like I said, he was voted as a World Leading Agent. That's got to stand for something. I will admit though that I can't find out much about him before he became Wasserman's COO. He must have done something before that but after graduating from Oxford. That's not a role you just jump into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this players he ripped apart in the press....like...Cywka who is currently teaing up the league at......? Great bloke, did an unbelievable job for us under the toughest of situation.

That's not a role you just jump into. Not at all. He was a Lawyer before joining SFX Sports Group who were bought by Wasserman. He was never voted as the World's leading agent, although he was listed (not voted) as one of the most influential people in that industry.

ronnieronalde Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I wonder if we'll see our old friend Ronnie on this thread? I'm still here Boycie. I'm sure Daveo can confirm I still log in every day. I'm not posting cos of numpties trying to spin my every word/action into a negative against the club. It got very tiring trying to ignore the wums and having admin delete my posts. So now I just read the ******** instead of getting wound up by it. Nice little dig about the book the other day as well by the way. Well played. For what its worth. I think Nigel is right. Money men, Agents and/or ex agents are ruining the game.

Duracell Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 "Manager takes ever-so-slight dig at former employer in interview shocker". Can see that all across the back pages tomorrow morning, what a sensational story this is that must be sending shockwaves through the world of football.
