If you believe all the garbage churned out on social media, it was said that he applied for the Shrewsbury and Wimbledon jobs.
IMO he wasn't anything special as a manager, relied too much on his favoured players / drinking buddies. Tactically one dimensional.
Re: his 'alleged drink problem. Several people posted photos of Nolan on social media where he was clearly 'worse for wear'. Some of the photos were taken on the eve of matchday...
We're still (or would be if we paid anyone) paying his and Harry Kewell's wages until they get a new job so that's one reason and secondly, he just moved his family here before getting the sack and wants something without a big commute if possible, so until the "perfect job" comes along he's in no rush to go anywhere, especially seeing as he can get pundit work and probably isn't short of cash anyway.
@Pravda, not sure about Shrewsbury but he applied for the Ipswich job in the pre season before he was sacked
Talk Sport pundit...well it pays his beer money I guess...
I didn’t and don’t claim to know a lot about him. Nor did I suggest that he or his family weren’t nice people.
I consider my self to be a ‘nice’ person. However, if I were consuming reasonably large volumes of alcohol on a fairly regular basis, I would be less than effective at my job.
So, please read post before replying.
I witnessed 1 occasion at a T20 match with crossley and Thomas, night before Cambridge away.
You original post suggested more.
Not taking into account the various pictures and stories on social media, fact.
Where it becomes subjective is, 2 drinks is 1 too many for one man and not enough for another. For me, it was too much and too often in public for someone in his position.
It then, in my opinion, doesn’t take a massive leap of faith to associate drinking habit with poor performance.
Jackal refered to culture being created by the guys at the top. I believe the manager should lead by example, again for me this was not happening.
