Ha, you would have sacked him in January. Lets see the link to that opinion in Jan ?

I assume you were oblivious to the threads raised last season when I said it was falling apart and we needed to get rid of him? I'm surprised - I suggested it round Jan and said by the end of Feb he had to go didn't i?

I'm not searching anything. Unlike you I don't sit permanently on a fence never offering an opinion. Read my post which refers to the "cole experiment" - you come back to me then.

Don't you mean get rid her!!! (JS). Because by changing him TM you are only changing the conductor not the bus driver who's taken us in this terrible direction.

Nobody is interested in your fucking opinion. You are about as popular as a guest poster from the Drunken Wasps Forum.

We don't need managers for any longer than about 10 games as that's when it goes wrong if we have 5 managers a season we would go up easily

OK lets all ridicule Nigel shall we and leave Sisu alone as they are doing the best they can for our club.
Click to expand...

Nigel is being ridiculed for his inane ranting, which like everyone else protests, anger etc has made no difference to SISU leaving.

Who is leaving SISU alone. We all want them gone, but nothing makes a difference, well unless you know different? ..... I suspect you don't.

Nigel is being taken the piss out of, because he rants on and on. Its nothing to do with his cleft palate, you are the one who brought that to the table.

Until he knew Sisu game plan and jumped ship. And trust me he was not all happy with the owners when he left no matter what was said. He didn't get the assurance he wanted to stay.

I haven't banged myself onto any mast, but I do see the value in patience rather than continual knee jerk reaction.

But I know your safety net is never back anyone

Have you got any evidence Robins took us in a better direction?

Were we not in the same division? Did he reduce the debt? Did he bring in saleable assets? What is your measurement of his success?

Another tired chestnut from Grendel, provide evidence yet he never gives any himself.

How did I bring it to the table? I wasn't the one calling him nasal nige etc. and the ones that were were not only being spiteful, petty children any constructive criticism that they might have had to say about Nigel's opinions was lost the second that they started with "nasal nige has been on again, snigger, snigger, snigger".

How are you supposed to take anything they have to say seriously when they start with playground bully stuff?

Has anybody said anything like that about tonight's phone in? There was a thread yesterday where I made a point of saying it was out of order so hopefully people take that on board.

The reality is that Robins had a great run yet still showed dreadful deficiencies. He was given far greater reign to sign players I believe. He made numerous signings when he arrived

If Robins had have been here as long as SP or TM we would have seen a similar pattern with his rain to theirs. Including Grendull leading the calls for him to be sacked.

Our current owners don't create an environment that's conducive to creating success. It's as simple as that, it's not even about money. As a club we'll never make the most of what could be available to us as that's not the owners priority.

Probably because they're feeling like dicks as the blatantly obvious has been repeatedly pointed out to them. CWR even had a tweet from a poster on here last night calling him nasal nige and then bragging on here that it was him. I'm surprised you don't remember that given that he was mistaken for you.

Strange that you attack me for speaking up for the one being called names to defend the ones doing the name calling. Did you stand behind the school bully's in the playground at school sticking up for them or is this a part of your personality that's developed in "adulthood"?

I do remember it, that's why I said there was a post yesterday and I made a point of saying it was out of order.

I am not attacking you, I am saying that since yesterday when it was discussed I didn't think anybody has mentioned it and for the next phone in I will mention it again and again until people hopefully stop attacking the way he speaks, and stick to just what he says.

I personally didn't know it was down to past illness until a couple of weeks ago when LAST or Steve mentioned it, which is why I pointed it out in the thread yesterday and will keep pointing that out until hopefully people stop it on here.

A few people have mentioned it over a good couple of weeks and people were still coming out with the childish crap as recently as yesterday. Hopefully its the end of it now although it wouldn't surprise me if he gets called it again on here or in tweets to CWR. People don't like what he has to say? Fine, I don't have a problem with that. The fact that the majority that accuse him of mindless rant's then go into mindless rants about him with a good portion of schoolboy bully thrown in for good measures is more than a little ironic wouldn't you agree.

Yeah that's why I mentioned it because of those tweets and stuff in the thread yesterday. One person who commented said they didn't realise.

I will keep mentioning it as and when I spot anything and feel free to report it so I can give people a nudge and ask them in the nicest possible way not to. I would like to think 99% of people would stop or think differently.

I can't stop people tweeting, but on here I can try and get people to think about it before posting things like that.

Have a look on the other thread, I had just come out of swimming so hadn't read it properly and just wondered why people were going on about me. Once I read it properly I saw all the comments and made a point of mentioning it.

First of all I have never met Nigel and have never read a post on here stating that he had Cancer/Cleft Pallet* (delete as appropriate). I usually ignore threads on here about the phone in as I don't listen to it. I wasn't bragging about it being me I was confirming that it wasn't Nick as it is not the 1st time people have confused me with him. i have posted on many Coventry forums under the name Nick including the official one, ccfcforums, covcityfc.com, LAST and Skyblueuntrust.com. I also have been involved in running and owning general Football forums, the latest one in my signature (all Welcome).

The tweet was to Coventry and Warwickshire as on the other thread and I pointed out in my way that the show was not listenable as they always have the same people on and the conversation remains the same no matter how we are playing but you only have 140 characters so. CWR read it out and someone assumed it was Nick the admin on here and I can only assume that Stuart Linnell thought that too and that is the only reason he made such a fuss about it.

on the subject of the thread, i.e. phone in, we (6 of us) were in a hostelry & listening to it,
independently 4 of us texted in,
the general threads being dismay at the way the owners have behaved since day 1 of their tenure,
not one of those texts were read out,
it became obvious that selectivity of views for airing was in operation @ BBC C&W,
i proffer the idea that C&W are nervous that they will be given restricted access if they criticise sisu too much
