Just out of interest, why are people quite so against Nolan. His numbers are pretty good, he's played at a high level so should command respect from players and have decent contacts higher up. I know he doesn't play the most attractive style of football, but our squad is quite well suited to his style and I'm sure he can't do any worse than Limbrick's selection last night... Not my first choice but just curious why there's such a consensus against him? I don't see how Kewell could be considered a better option. Asking, not Stating.

Wasn't at the helm for Notts County last season?  They went down.

So I guess last night was pre-emptive by our lot then  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

He was manager for 5 games ffs, after getting them playoffs the season before  

Not my first choice but hardly awful or at fault for the relegation

Furthermore, about the same age as Danny Collins when we took him on... Admittedly not in as good shape, but could probably offer more creativity in midfield than we currently have. Doubt he'd reprise his player - manager role again - unless he sees dire need for it -- which one might argue we do have after last night ....

For all his leadership qualities as a player, Nolan seems a rather unsophisticated chap for these times. Two seasons ago I saw the reserves fixture at Ilkeston where our team of youths, trialists and recovering injured faced a strong County reserve team. Several first team squad and experienced players such as Mike Edwards and Alan Smith were 'encouraged'  loudly by Nolan and his assistants. Woods was on the line for us while Slade chatted in the sunshine with some scouts and took little interest in the game.
Nolan watched every ball kicked, shouting instructions from up in the stand booming out praise and criticism in the vernacular. I did wonder what the our players thought about being ignored and senior County players felt about their managers gobbiness.
We lost to a soft pen which even county staff laughed at.

Didn't seem too bad when he played for us but I can't see Ipswich letting him go.

Weren't their rumours about his extracurricular drinking habbits at the time of his sacking as part of the reason for his dismissal?


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best
