I think he's very happy there. The chairman there, Ben Robinson is a very good friend of his and I wouldn't be surprised if he stays there for a long, long time.

RadioactiveWaste Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I always liked that he turned down Fawaz when he tried to get him to go to Forest. I think. rivalries aside, it's fair enough to say Nigel would deeply love to manage Forest at some point and to say "No, I'm not going to put my name to the utter fecal exhibition you've made of notts forest" took a degree of integrity most in the game wouldn't spend a heartbeat considering.

I think you found out the strength and achilles heel of him with the integrity... For that, I like him. And for the same reason, he should've done better. All the years he spend with us, I still couldn't make my mind up. Tells it story as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? OK - I didn't listen to it (obviously!) but that surprises me. I know Ben Robinson was very supportive of him going to Derby when it happened, and I'm sure would support him if he did get a move, but you wonder how much of the comment you quote is true and not just what he thinks he should be saying so that he doesn't come across as totally unambitious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously. Agents and players would bankrupt you.Ask Mel he knows all about swimming with sharks.He has shared 75% of his fortune with them.Soft chap.
