Having relieved Dickov of his duties earlier surely this would be a very good fit , less expectation from fans , well run club , would be given time if they could see progression and he might even sign some of the shit he left us with !!!

Very logical. Not in General Blades Chat though.

Our most recent former manager possibly moving to our local and divisional rivals? I'd say it relates to us.

Fair enough. I was looking at it more black and white; not our manager, not our team.

Former and Doncaster being the two words that suggest it's not Blades - related ;)

People still get away with talking about former players like Jags and Walker in Blades Chat and they don't even play in the same league as us any more. I think this is more Blades related than anything about a former player playing for England or similar.

Very good fit? Why? Do Donny fans like watching boring, negative shite?

Quite. Nigel will realise he is a complete mediocrity. A fact lost on our fans when he and Collins were useful instruments to further the Agenda.

Your loyalty is commendable, leaping immediately to the aid of your SAD friend. Good show. I'll leave you to have a little chat about how evil Nigel was, whilst sniggering behind your hands.

Most of us are getting on with a rather enjoyable new season. I'm sure there'll be a bit of misery for you along the way, though. Then you can have your little self-important tantrums.

Pathetic post as usual. Clough was shite and we got rid. Just accept it. Your posts just don't have the same inpact since you stopped droning on about crayons.

I'm afraid you function in an alternative stream of consciousness. It is you and your SAD mates who carry on with the Clough Agenda, as witnessed here and now. I think you'll find the overwhelming majority now find it's continuation very tedious indeed.

Anywhere here's to the next defeat and a chance to show off in public, eh? Good on yer...

Bonkers. I am loving the positive, attacking football under Adkins. You, on the other hand, still seem to miss negative, non-league Nigel. Now that is sad.

You haven't been reading my eloquent contributions. I drew a line as soon as NA arrived. I can document that quite easily if you like. You, and SAD people like you, continue the Agenda to this day and hour. The evidence is conclusive, I'm afraid....

You may purport to love it now, but let's just wait for a couple of defeats and the irresistible urge for attention-seeking will resurface and the Crayolas will be out....

No - please don't document it. It's bad enough having to read your posts once.

Let's just agree - the football under Adkins is far better than under Clough. UTB

Yes I can agree with that, no problem. Perhaps we can also share a hope that there'll be no knee-jerk reactions when, as all teams do, we lose a game or two?
 
I think Doncaster and Clough would be a good fit.

I think his major failing was that he was too set in his ways to be able to amend them to serve our requirements, and his style of management would be better suited to a smaller club like Doncaster where expectations aren't has high, and he can build a club around his ideals.

If Doncaster want long term league 1 stability . Yes

If Doncaster want to try and acheive a promotion push . No.

Doncaster Rovers expectations do actually outstrip reality . They had there chance, when getting promotion to the championship , a couple of seasons ago , and blew it . Not good enough , whoever the new manager is.

I suspect the expectations are the same, just not as many supporters. Don't all fans think their club is the best and should be top of the Premier League?
 



TARGET AUDIENCE - PEOPLE THAT CALL NIGEL CLOUGH AS "NEGATIVE NIGEL"

RIGHT, I'm gunna have my say now. Not about Donny, but about Nigel Clough. I liked him! Now by reading cmoments above it seems as though it's a crime to like Nigel Clough which I DO NOT understand! Yes, the football was boring and defensive. Yes, he fell out and flogged potentially good players. But, everyone seems to have a selective memory on here because if you can't remember, this "negative Nigel" gave us two wonderful major cup runs in two years (not quite Warnock, but nearly) and people seem to forget that. Point taken - he didn't meet his objective to get us promoted out of this league, but in response he gave us some memorable days/nights that we'll never forget such as Villa, Fulham, Forest, Charlton, Hull (despite the defeat), WHU, QPR, Southampton, Spurs (again, despite the defeat). Want some more?... Beating Rotherham in the final min with kids and Steve Evans interview post match was hilarious!. Colchester were we were 2-0 down with 10 to go and BEAT them 3-2 somehow! Gillingham were we conceded with 5 to go and BEAT them 2-1 with Murphy scoring a memorable goal. Doncaster were we had a man sent off, our goalie saved a penalty, and Murphy winning the goal of the season in the space of 90 seconds. Barnsley - fantastic away performance with 5500 blades fans. Above all, we had a 10 match winning streak under the negative one and as some have quoted "worst manager ever". Don't make me laugh! You know you miss the cup runs and the adrenaline of beating a team in the old first division...GO ON, ADMIT IT! Nigel Adkins's football is more attractive and positive and could be better than Clough's tactics. He could even win the league! But remember, Clough gave us two wonderful cup runs whether you like it... or not! I just think Clough deserves a bit of respect and credit for this, rather than pick out all the negatives and no positives (like most users of this forum). Im sorry to say but I liked Nigel Clough and this is the first time I've spoken out regarding his sacking. I liked Clough, please don't kick my head in!

End of rant and UTB!
