Huge job for whoever and gets bigger for each game where points are given away.
Is Nigel the saviour ? Anyone want to discuss.
1 user thanked author for this post.
Could he save us? Almost definitely.
Would he / should he come and work under Mr Swann for buttons? Almost definitely not.

Yes Nigel could definitely keep us in the football league. His daily positivity rubbed off on the players and staff throughout the club. I should know I worked there. But the questions are does Swann want to keep us in the football league and would he be bothered if we drop out? and would he want to pay him a decent wage? On all questions the answers are most probably NO HE WOULDNT!

I would have our Nigel back in a heartbeat. I also think Crozzer would also be needed to sort our defence out. Notice how when we played Port Vale he was up on the sideline giving out instructions and encouragement whilst Neil sat with his hands in his pockets and looked clueless. This may cost Mr Swann a bit of cash but it certainly would be a statement of intent. I won’t hold my breath.

BARNARD, FOXTON and BARKER – what would the cost be if relegated to the National League. We have all seen that some clubs can go on an even worse failure spiral.

Under normal circumstances I’d have said, don’t go down that road.
But desperate times call for desperate measures. Ideal timing and probably one of the few appointments that would boost attendances.
We must be around 1,500 down on gates since before Covid so Swann is losing £25-30,000 every home game.
The appointment would pay for itself.

I would relish the thought of Sir Nigel back in the Scunny dug out but I doubt that he would come to us as Manager as it would look like a backwards step for him.
However that doesn’t stop someone on the board asking if he would ‘help’ Cox a little, to look at things from a fresh perspective and bring a little positivity to the club and fan base. Yes it would cost money but not as much as firing Cox would – he could be employed as a consultant on a short term basis. They both have positive feelings for the club and both may benefit. Cox by having a sounding board to bounce off and Adkins for having a bit of a wage coming in.2 users thanked author for this post.
Adkins would have to have rocks in his head to come here, as would pretty much any manager in our current situation! But I don’t think Adkins is the answer, brilliant as it would be to see him come back here.

And we have already got a manager with rocks in his head.

Not for me.
He has absolutely nothing to gain from a career standpoint in coming here and I Don’t want to see another Scunny hero’s reputation ruined.

Totally in agreement with you BarnardFoxtonBarker.
Could lose far more than we spend if we get relegated, but yes we have to do something because every game is a likely point
loser.I no longer watch the Quest EFL highlights who wants to watch the low points ??

From a CAFC supporters group: –
“It’s a shame as he was a good man who came in with good intentions and started off really well.
But this season has started off poorly and just got progressively worse.
We know he was disappointed with how the transfer window went this summer. The club acted too late and didn’t really have a pre-season behind them, and the inability to put a settled side out in terms of fitness set Charlton back a bit.”
Hmm! Sounds familiar.

Just a guess but Nigel puts 1200 on the gate – Keith Hill puts on 200.
Nigel is the cheaper option.

Should he come? The jury is out. I dont think even SAF could motivate this lot.
Would he come? I don’t think he’s either desperate or daft enough
Would Swann put his hand in his pocket to bin Cox/Mussy and get Nige in?
I don’t believe he would. I think the present scenario suits him and his aspirations fine.
Prove me wrong, Swann, ‘cos I’m not usually.

Cox by having a sounding board to bounce off and Adkins for having a bit of a wage coming in.I have never heard so much rubbish in my life, get Adkins in to help Cox, that would really be an all time insult to Nigel, Christ Cox is beyond help with his systems and record since joining and ruining our club, yes as people say “he is a nice guy”, but the truth is “he is bloody clueless”, so why the hell should he not be sacked (apart from Swanns business plan of taking us out of the football league, there is no other reason for Cox being still at SUFC.
Nigel should be appeoached with good offer, probably not likely to accept it, but for Christ sake lets rid the club of Cox, Lillis and Mussa, the so called management team are clueless, and are costing the club a real lot of money with their methods, due to losing over 1,500 regular supporters every home game, which is even going to the extent of driving away fans from following the team.
The question is, don’t people think that 60 odd matches is enough to give them, the saying used to be give them ten more games, it now appears to be closer to two seasons. Since Cox tool over, the club have plunged to the present level of being 24th in League 2, with one win in 26 matches, so please do not suggest keeping the clowns in charge.
