He will be on a bigger wage than back in the day at Burton.
Would he want to step down a few levels too?
I said similar about Cooper/Hignett at the time.
Don't get down to the Vic as often as I did, but it was obvious he was out of his depth after Hignett had gone.
Similar to Martin Scott.
The problem with using his contacts as Boro, is the age and build of the players.
Appreciate the Conference is slightly different to league two, but not sure a team full of lightly built kids (presuming he would go down the same route), is the way forward.
Not too dissimilar to Ossie Ardiles in that respect and that style never really did owt for his managerial record either.
I agree about Cloughie mate...BUT, who would have thought Gateshead would go professional when they did ...If the money was ther, why not, but yeah, Young Nige is probably beyond Gatesheads aspirations
A signing like that would show Gateshead meant business, and if anything, I genuinely believe he could take Gateshead to the next level, if I was a Gateshead fan, his surname alone would be exciting and he could probably attract a decent standard of player too...
As for Cooper, yes, would be a good appointment too, but he seemed to work better in partnership with Craig Hignett and once Hignett left, Cooper was never the same, kinda like when Peter Taylor and Brian Clough split up, Cloughie was never the same manager after that.
