    You were born in Nottingham; which can never bode well
    From League One you led us; then left for a spell
    Your return was impressive the Promised Land beckoned
    Your first time in charge eclipsed by your second

    We struggled a bit in the Prem to be fair
    Yet still we competed, with no shortage of flair
    Our survival secured with one game to spare
    Inspired by an Argie deprived of his hair

    Paparazzi confronted a Palace player decked
    You stood resolute whilst the Ostriches pecked
    A little eccentric, perhaps even ‘weird’
    But you made Leicester City a team to be feared

    How ironic that your tenure should be brought to a close
    By footage of Thai girls with very few clothes
    Your employers’ outraged Thailand concerned
    Reputations tarnished careers crashed and burned

    So all the best Nigel as you seek pastures new
    You go with our gratitude; to give you your due

    How can I oblige, such wise words about " loose cannon " Nige,
    was gutted at first and feared the worst,
    and boy do we need someone with appetite and thirst,
    the bookies said MON,
    which was a bit of a con,
    but realise what's done is done
    & we have to move on !!


    Sorry FF, only had two minutes to put this together ( whilst servicing the washing machine aka the missus )

    Oh, to this thread, I feel I should reply
    My thoughts upon Nigel? He left on a high...

    Where will we finish, next season without him?
    Was our owners decision, just made on a whim?

    Either way, thank you Nigel, for all that you've done.
    From the lows of League One, oh the journeys been fun.

    The thought of losing Nigel, I'll admit, seemed quite scary.
    But for now, I'm putting my faith in Ranieri...

    Svennis disgraced, the messiah returned.
    Who had managed us before til bridges were burned.
    Beckford and co might well be worried
    as imminent departure was sure to be hurried.
    Though change upon change doesn't always work for sure
    but players had to go with delusions of grandeur.

    A hot summers day on the banks of the Trent
    led to mayhem and madness as to Watford we went.
    A Question of Sport; "What happened next?"
    Home fans glee, away perplexed.
    The axe beckoned as Nige looked a gonner
    but the Thai's stood firm, retaining their honour.

    A summer of boredom, no transfer gossip
    We had half an eye on our spending and profit
    Few had expected but Nigel dellivered
    as Leicester City became the team to be feared.
    Win after win, our lead grew bigger
    as we played with excitement and vigour

    He finally delivered, promotion at last
    but results were poor, going down fast.
    But out of the bag, the greatest escape
    as we managed to secure our Premier League fate.
    But who would have guessed that it would all end in tears?
    As junior and friends had too many beers...
