Nielson Becomes Dundee Utd Player/Manager!!

I had forgotten the details of his contract - yes, you were right to leave him out of the picture.

It has perhaps not occurred to some Foxes that, as this thread is co-assigned to the Dun U board, any sneers we post about Nielson are effectively wumming – so we shouldn't be too surprised if United fans are a touch disparaging in return.

Good luck Robbie and Dundee Utd.

Good luck indeed - I thought Neilsen did an honest and committed job for us, during a difficult period.

Apologies for my absence from this thread, my choob of a boss was hanging about with his bad smell!!

Thank you for your good wishes Foxes and accept them in return. I was interested now that Pearson was back what the target is for this year? Is it a push for the play-offs from here or do you think the top 2 is a possibility?

Hope you get up there

I'd be very happy with the playoffs myself. I think that with a bit of investment in january to bring in a class winger or two and i don't think the top 2 will be out of reach, but it's the championship, it won't be easy and it sure as hell will be as unpredictable as ever. Welcome back Nigel

Ideally the target would be top 2, hoping west ham and southampton don't run away too much, however personally I believe we'll finish 3rd /4th. I have no idea how we'll fair in the play offs as it is kind of a lottery after all...

I just hope we dont get knocked out / beaten by Blackpool or else I may die a little inside.

Blackpool, it's always hard living in ab place which is full of rival fans. As a United fan living in Fife i know this very well.

A decent run will put you right up there and I'm sure you're well capable of it. As you say though the Championship is so tight and the play-offs are a lottery.

It's funny you mention a good winger. Our boy Conway went to Cardiff and is doing really well, was on a free too.

I definately thought Goodwillie should have come to the championship first, before the prem. I think he's punching above his weight at Blackburn.

Goodie is a quality player Blackpool and he will show this in due course. The guy is a natural goalscorer, but is not getting played in his natural position at Rovers and has had a few injuries. It does not help that he is in and out of the team.

If he can get a couple of goals and a little run in the side people down there will see what a talent he is. It's difficult as Rovers are fighting for their lives down there and there is a graet deal of pressure on the manager.

My personal opinion is that £2.8 million is a steal for a guy who will be worth much more in a few years. Just delighted that he turned down Rangers
