    This LJ hero of you and 1For's.

    Can't be the same guy sacked at Sunderland, a pub team in Scotland and Fleetwood Madrid......can it ?

    You could be running around like headless chickens and put a shift in............We have far more structure to our game under LM IMO...
    Perhaps I'm the only one that thinks that!!! :emoticon-0103-cool:

    It’s not accurate to suggest we were running around like headless chickens, well apart from Weiman at times <laugh>

    Yeah, he's the guy that stopped us being relegated after your hero Cotts (who's just taken FGR down) was heading us that way. The guy that kept us there for 4 seasons, like no manager before him could manage....<laugh>

    Forest Green were doomed to the National League long before Cotts arrived on the scene

    That makes it even stranger that such a well-known and pretty respected manager would take on such a role - knowing it would be highly likely to add a relegation to his CV.

    To be fair their form did pick up towards the end of the season under him after the disastrous appointments of Duncan Ferguson and then Troy Deeney
    Had Cotts arrived there a month earlier he may have saved them

    Steve Cotterill hasn't done any better if you're going to look at past managers, and Nige hasn't been offered a job at all since he departed....

    I imagine Nige would happily compare his record with LJ’s , who hasn’t exactly pulled up trees since his departure either.

    Seriously, I would be interested to know the real reason Nige was sacked.
    We can surmise on here but the only ones who really know are JL and NP.

    In the meantime I want LM to build on our strong end to the season and with the right additions have us challenging for a top 6 place in the next.
    I like how he tries to set us up and sometimes it works really well. Sadly not often enough this season but I’m hopeful and feeling strangely optimistic for next season (for the moment anyway !!)

    We will next year -Nige said in the interview he has kept his powder dry unlike JL who spouted nonsense why they removed Nige.

    As we’re Fleetwood when LJ arrived, but that gets counted, so all’s fair in love and war…

    I’d give up Supcon. They don’t understand (or rather they don’t WANT to understand).
    I hardly bother these days.
    Liam vs Nige is the new hot topic for the impressionable. Apparently you have to love one and hate the other (you can’t like both) - just like you had to be an LJ ‘lover or hater’ - just thinking he was ok was not an option <steam>

    You're having a laugh.
    You've started more 'wums' than 1For and Supcon put together

    And now you're trying to take the high ground R&W, doesn't work for me.

    Who are you to call me 'they don't understand'.
    Ever thought it might be you ?
