    A couple of his quotes from the same article..
    *“ My assistant manager keeps telling me I have to get into meditation, to relax. I’ll meditate when I’m dead. In the meantime I’ve got to get promoted.”

    * I get up every morning, take a big sniff of air and say, ‘I’m turning up today and going to leave this place better than it was 24 hours ago.’ ”

    *“I want to win the Premier League,” he says. Could he do that with Bristol City? “I think so, yes.” He knows he will have to win promotion if he is to manage in the top flight. “I don’t think a Premier League club would look at me,” he says. “I don’t think English coaches are respected.

    Before you correct me, in all fairness he did make the Premier League..

    Where LJ has successfully been enriched and tread I must admit Nige followed at far less cost and still remains in the Championship but as all of you have stated his team has vastly improved.

    Isn't that amazing, Johnson got the sack in July 20-20, (another streaky maybe) we were 8th after 12 games, as Jimmy Greaves was famous for saying, " It's a funny old game"

    No, the performances and results have vastly improved from last season only, although we are only 6 games in. I think we reserve judgement on progress until the mid/end of Oct.

    Best we don't go back down that road again, where we sell a decent player disrupt what we have and bring some "mediocre unknown" from the market stall!! Been there, done that, went all tits up!! :emoticon-0103-cool:

    Think Nige has two players lined up one a purchase the other a loan.
    Hands tied behind his back unless something happens.

    For me, unless one of those players you mention is a natural born leader / brilliant defender and is an expert knowing how to see out the last 10 mins without conceding..if not then I’d try and keep what we’ve got and not worry about bringing new blood.

    Why do you think that? He never had before, he’s brought in his old Leicester mates and players from that lower leagues? You have this obsession that NP walks on water, it amazes me

    listen to his interview for Udders game he has given the media a little bit of news-but he don’t expect it to happen.One a signing the other a loan.
    And yes I certainly do rate the gaffer the best since Dicks was here-proper respected manager.
