So the timing was bad, and the manner in which a decent man who had done a good job was caked was pretty appealing perhaps, but hey, that's the football (wake up and smell the coffee, it really is like this now). I am sure Nigel is probably the least surprised man in all of this.
But now we have these anti Cortese posters, Turkish, Hypo etc. giving it some about the man who:
Allegedly bought Leibherr to the club
Paid a million in the third division striker
Took this club into the Premier League - as promised
Talks about expanding the stadium to make us a bigger club
Doesn't buy players like Cisse (the QPR one)
Wants to take us to the Champions League
Talks to the fans
He ****s up sometimes sure, but he has done exactly what he said he would do, we have all been to Wembley and we are now at the top table. He sacked Pardew and it worked, whilst I am not what you would call happy about today, I am looking forward to a new era perhaps, and this new bloke might just be the man to take us there.
