I know people did not like him but his contribution to our club was massive.
Don't agree? Just think of Peter Taylor.
Good luck Nigel

No doubt he is a good manager, maybe not the best man-manager.Sadly though he is a hard man to like, and doesnt think before he speaks or reacts.
Hope he is back as he can do a good job, but think that some clubs and owners will always be a little wary of him.

Did the players go to the Chairman to complain about him? and when confronted by the chairman they had to physically restrained...

Sounds quite far fetched or missing a lot of facts!

Common consensus seems to be that it was an argument over the Chairman 'spying' on training sessions by having drones recording them.

I think the drones thing sound a more far fetched than th players say we are not happy and then your man Nigel having a swing at the Chairman when he gave him a talking to. The key point to not in the club statement was agreed my mutual consent so no further disciplinary action against NP will take place.

I know you love the guy but from telling a fan to f.o.a.d to being sacked by our owners, now this do you might think now the guys got issues?

I think some people are trying to make more of the situation because they have an agenda.

It was reported to be a disagreement about the drone that resulted in a heated argument, anything other than that is pure speculation with nothing to back it up.

I can't imagine Martin O'Neill reacting too well if a drone was used at a training ground either and I'm sure Sir Alex would have been a little irate too along with many other managers.

I agree there's an agenda no one wants to admit that NP's the issue. its always someone else's fault.

would o'Neil or Fergi tell a fan to foad or try to stick one on the drone flying Chairman? I ask you what can you learn from a drone?
Maybe that Shakespeare and Walsh where just as important in NP's success and the fact that Walsh stayed and was made assist manager for England might say more about the situation he finds himself in now

I thank Nigel for the success he delivered to our club and the stability and structure he put in place enabling Ranieri to come in and build on those foundations and success.

I seriously can't comment on the Derby situation but judging by their own fans reactions and the stories of drones it's sounds like nobody comes out of that with any credit.

I'd suggest both parties probably need to take a long heads look at themselves.

Thank heavens for our owners!
