Isn't a charge made reguarly against several managers that this fourm doesnt like that they only do well when they have money? By that same token Nigel has only done/will do well because he has had money. He didn't take S****horpe from L1 to midtable in the premier league did he.

It's not what I would say, I would say the if we finish midtable he's done a fantastic job. But some of our other posters would surely not acclaim it as a success as they have critisised other managers for only being successful when they have money to spend.

I mean he has done brilliantly to turn it around but we didn't show many promising signs of that until West Brom. Everyone has a different tolerance point and I suspect that if it had gone on for a couple more games (if we had lost to qpr for instance) then he would have gone and most wouldn't have been too upset.
