It was clear the L1 winning squad really liked him, they ran through brick-walls for him and I've seen it said by plenty of supporters from other clubs he's managed at too.

He gets a lot of criticism for getting us relegated, but it had been coming for years and the job he did once we were relegated was top.

I think surviving comfortably in the Championship, with a transfer embargo, the lowest wage bill in the league of £12m and no player in the squad costing £1m or anywhere close is some achievement.

Your middle paragraph. What had been coming for years?

You said you don’t know why people adore him, not why people thought he was a good commentator or whatever it is you’re moaning about. I wouldn’t say I adore him, but I simply answered why I do like him that’s all.

I also didn’t think he was rubbish at his commentary job either. I never minded his commentary (although obviously never listened to home match commentary as I’d be at the game)

I was talking in the context of his commentary/professional capacity.. As all my points were in that context, I thought that was obvious?

I obviously hear a lot of his commentaries now he's doing the Tigers+ commentaries. I think he's good much better then the guy he replaced who came in after Fletch left.

I like him a lot more now he hasn't got Peter Swan next to him prattling on about bollocks <laugh>

He was a good commentator, great champion of the City and good presenter.

The BBC got rid because he didn't fit their agenda. I mean why would you want a middle aged male, local to the area, well connected and well respected with a good knowledge of the sporting, music and business scene presenting local radio?

He nailed it on that morning show and knew what the audience was interested in.

I’ve been on that show a few times reading my poetry, considering he is more a music man I loved some of his feedback, seemed to like what I’d written. I totally agree about that morning show it was really good, he’d always help the little people ( not midgets lol ) especially if they had a problem with the council or a large firm.

Well it was all supporters whinged at at the time. Slutsky got fired as we were in the bottom 3, Nigel came in and settled us, spent 18 months but left as he knew the budget was getting cut substantially again and that it was going to be a tough job.

We got lost players like Marshall and Campbell only to replace them with players on a fraction of the money.
