@Giniesta10 Aw so it was Andy Howe who scouted Joelinton as No.9 was it? Leading to the majority of Newcastle fans blaming Andy Howe for Rafa leaving the club. I guess my memory of that era is tainted for some reason. I do apologise I stand corrected
@Giniesta10 I am pointing to those fans. What was your opinion post takeover. The majority saw Nickson as Ashley’s man who was brought in to drive Rafa out. The man who broke our transfer record signing a dud number 9 and drove the best manager we had for years out the club.
@OfficielKaybaye I don’t think you get my point. The bloke was hated. Now he’s being lauded. Maybe he was just a decent scout who’s going onto better things for him.
@OfficielKaybaye That’s the point I’m making. Post takeover, afyer Bruce, he was the first person on everybody’s list for the chop. He was hated. Now he’s being lauded. Maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle. Maybe the actual best thing to happen to the club since KK is actually Howe.
@NUFCMurph 5 years ago the likes of yourself and the rest of the creeps on here would’ve been rejoicing at the news of Nickson leaving the club. He was derided for being Ashley’s man who drove out Rafa and the first name for the chop after Bruce. Now he’s the greatest thing since KK.
@NUFCLC Nickson was derided for years and seen by some as the reason Rafa left the club. He was one of the first on many peoples lips for the sack post takeover. Now it seems he is the most important figure in the club’s history since KK
@The__Farmster Nickson was derided for years before the takeover. Ashley man and toxic influence at the club who drove Rafa out according to some. Now he’s the greatest thing that has happened to the club since Kevin Keegan. Give me strength.
@MagpieMediaX Nickson would’ve been gone the day the takeover happened if the fans on here had their way. Now he’s the greatest thing to happen to the club since Kevin Keegan.
@Nufc2Everything Constantly undermined by the fans until the takeover. On the cerge of being hounded out until Staveley publicly backed him. He was considered a toxic part of the Ashley regime. Now he is the sole reason we have had any success over the last few years. Short memories
@MsiDouglas@GianfrancoShoIa Nickson was nearly hounded out the club until Staveley publicly backed him. He was considered an Ashley man and a toxic part of the old regime. Now I see he is actually the messiah and the sole reason behind our cup win and european campaigns. Funny how things change.
@LukeEdwardsTele Short memories on here. He was on the verge of being hounded out until Staveley came out and said that the consortium considered him a good scout. He was considered an Ashley man now he’s the messiah and responsible for all our recent success. Ridiculous
@wuds100 Can’t believe what I’m reading today. The majority on here wanted him gone when the takeover happened and were giving Staveley pelters for stating that club thought he was a decent scout. Now he’s the reason we a cup and have had two Champion’s league campaigns.
@geordiejosh When the takeover happened Nickson was one of the first people on everybody’s lips for the chop! Now he’s being lauded as the reason we have won a trophy and had two season’s in the champions league. Maybe look at the actual reason for our recent success.
