AdamBanana20 - only on that list. His plans are to ultimately get us to the top level. He didn't out and out say Champions League football, but was included in discussions.
Sounds like a great night FLT. Can't see Balram/Mandaric/Al Someone/Admin Andy holding one any time soon.
More of a gentleman or more of a brown noser? Nicola wouldn't have said anything he didn't want to leave the room. The meals are a PR thing afterall and a tool for getting the right message out. Great night though and good summary mate
....and a good few bevvvies afterwards!!! Although next time, can we choose a bar with a slightly older clientelle. I'm sure half the people in there thought I was there to give my daughter a lift home!!
"he wanted a manager who “bought into” his vision for the company and showed energy, enthusiasm and possessed excellent motivational skills." Certainly sounds like Nigel Thanks for all that FLT
I also asked him how long Nigel's got.... He gave me The Look and told me to 2014, to whicH I shuffled awkwardly in my seat, took a deep breath and said "ok that's the length of his contract, if I word this differently will I get a more detailed answer". I asked what his expectations at the start of the season were and he saidthat people kept asking him if we could do a Norwich. He said "No, we'll win it" At this point I hid under my napkin for a while and when I came out I wondered why there were three men stood against the wall behind me in really smart looking suits.
OK mate, that's great. I didn't really think you were stringing us along, I just wanted to get you to spill a few beans quicker than you might otherwise do, hence the riser.
