When people say they're disgusted with the way this has been handled, what exactly do they mean? Is there a nice or right way of replacing your manager if you don't feel they're the right man? However you do it it's going to hurt, so surely the most humane way to do it is quickly and decisively?

I'm not trying to be provocative. Just asking...

Exactly, imagine this conversation

(After promotion against Coventry last year)

NC: Well Nigel, technically you have done the job you were employed for now and as initially agreed your services are no longer required but as a thankyou I want to give you the opportunity to prove yourself in the PL, however if I feel you are out of your depth I will replace you swiftly

NA: Thanks NC, I appreciate it

NC: You deserve the chance so no problem

Nobody knows exactly what has gone on and if this was true it would put an entirely different slant on people's perceptions.

Kneejerk mis or non-informed reaction is a wonderful thing isn't it?

Reading between the lines and with the benefit of hindsight I find it easy to believe that it went along these lines ... as i said before , remember Nigels' bizarre interview after the Coventry game ?

Indeed Slugger, that's why I make the point.
There will be an inevitable parting of the ways .... wordshe used on more than one occasion!

I just wish that Nicola would clear it up ....... if our thinking is right how much harm would it do to say it ? ......... unless of course Nigel has asked him not to , that would put a whole new slant on things .

There'll almost certainly be a clause in their parting agreement to say that neither party can discuss the matter for "X" years. It's pretty standard."
