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.
But have Neil’s inadequacies as a manager ruined his playing reputation? I would say not. Similarly Nigel would be in a win win situation with regard to his standing as an Iron legend. Let’s not forget when he left he hauled Southampton from the bottom of league one to the premiership. His reward was to be replaced by Pochettino, albeit after our then Chairman said that the Saints weren’t a club he would recommend doing business with – perhaps Nigel should’ve heeded his advice.
If Nigel takes us down to the national league then his reputation is forever tarnished. Lawsy, Wilcox, Dawson, Cox, Alexander have all seen their reputation deteriorate since managing under Swann.
I’m fully with Wondergoals on this one about somehow convincing Keith Hill to come here. He’s used to working on a limited budget and Will know what it takes to get a side organised and competitive in League 2. I expect his wages demands will be significantly higher than we can afford, but that’s up for Swann to sort out
