I'll have to go and do a bit of research tomorrow as to precisely what his role was at Sheffield Wednesday. He's already claimed to have been their Director of Football and claimed responsibility for assembling the squad that took them to the play-off final last year, now he's claiming to have signed 14 of their players and only one cost a transfer fee.

Last time I checked he was one of several 'advisers' working at Sheffield Wednesday because their new owner had the sense to surround himself with people who knew the industry but Senior was swiftly released from that job for reasons undisclosed.

He's now talking about restructuring in the summer and it being a 'big summer' for the club. Similar things to what Lambert was preaching last season. Always the never never with these lot, then when the time comes for action and the chequebook needs to come out the drawer things go quiet and people lose their jobs and are replaced with another set of people who can talk the talk and who only want to look to the future.

 

Only restructuring this summer will be offloading the Grahams, Conways, Lowes and Evans and replacing with 5k a week cheaper versions.

I suspect that Lowe, Henley, Guthrie will leave plus the 4 loan players. 

We need address certain key areas like Keeper, right back and signing a leader at centre half. Also we need another 2 strikers signing. Dont know why we never look at Matty Taylor who just signed Bristol City. I suspect(know) it will more loans and free transfers in the summer.

Makes me feel a bit sick how in love with Nixon you are.

Direct your hate and energy at something which actually deserves it. If you listen to the quotes - it's a different viewpoint (extremely critical) of the way the club is being run.

Whilst I'm not exactly what you'd describe as a fan of Nixon, his perspective is interesting- especially when you consider his obvious relationships with agents and the managers we've employed. 

I've no intention of defending Nixon or the club, but I find it frustrating to see posters rounded on for bringing actual content to a relevant thread on the forum. Whether that's Chaddy or anyone else.

I myself have no problem with people bringing relevant content from an external source to a relevant topic on this message board, but when it's Nixon Nixon Nixon all the time it grates on me, I don't follow him on Twitter because I don't care for anything the guy has to say, so it's annoying to see his drivel posted on here by Chaddy all the time. The guy is more than likely speaking out against Venkys just to shift any blame away from his mate "Coyley" it's embarrassing. Just as well, all the talk Nixon did last summer about all these great signings Coyle was going to make, look how that turned out and look at our league position now, I really have no time for the guy.

Can't listen to it yet so can anyone give a brief outline of what Nixon said ?  Was it just passing the buck to Venkys in order to protect his pal/pals ?

Named the three players, had some element of story for 2 of them, called it scandalous. 

Trying to decipher his real thoughts aren't difficult because of the way he refers to the club as "you", as if he has no personal connection to his issue with the business. It becomes obvious that he has been made a fool by the club because we signed one he didn't know of and/or is close to Coyle enough to know Paul Senior has tied his hands- the reference to "finding" the money for Joao was telling.

Only one listen. Currently listenening to the Ribble one with Battersby explaining his investment. He refers to Rovers as us..! Maybe these lads are still the light at the end of the tunnel.

Cheers.

Thought so with Nixon as he's always spoke out like you & us when one of his wee gems has been in the hotseat. It is ALWAYS someone elses fault according to him when that is the case. Long shot but maybe just maybe if he'd lined up a decent defender or two on loan they'd have been pushed through.

May be nothing but when Farsley AFC payment exceeds that of Middlesbrough, you'd have question the accuracy of the detail.

Just had a search on Google and could possibly be right, Farsley had a Gibraltar international up to 2015  and played in 6 qualifying matches as of June 2015 when he went to another club.

Regarding Middlesbrough they definitely had no players at the finals, but not sure about qualifiers. Seems a low amount though

Nixon comments on radio Lancs were spot on. Venkys are still clueless and haven't learnt how football works and how much planning is needed in transfer market.

Players probably were lined up but got fed up waiting around awaiting for Venkys to make a decisions

After Seniors interview claiming they brought no value you believe that?

Truth is Chaddy your suffering from denial (i accept that). You know that club, the 11 you watch? Yes that one or thing is what we all did for years! All we have now are a clear fraud with accountancy practices controllable to the committee of league one.

I for one we hope we continue to plummet, best hope of survival.

And yes i will be there at the end to take what i can and help us re-build again.

He had a point about Venkys but his defence of our excuse for a manager is sickening, why do you swallow it?

None of Coyles targets would improve us, replacing a player whose been at right back with Giles Barnes?

Decent players though that's the point ?

For what it's worth i'm glad they swerved Ba if it was a full deal and not a loan. Not worth the risk right now and smacks of Coyle or someone trying to get another injury prone no one else wants on the books full time. There was no excuse not to get another loan or two in tho  no excuse at all. The agenda though is relegation so window dress with a couple of forwards who you've got for next to nothing to be able to turn around and say but we made some signing whilst the team continues to struggle in the areas badly needed strengthening.

Absolute con job but everything under Venkys always has been and i think even a few of the most blinkered are finally waking up to what we've been preaching for 6 pigging years.
