Can you take the pressure?

Don't often disagree with your postings but that's a rather uncharitable post about a good club player who gave great service to TUFC. This is very much 'ifs and buts' and adding two and two and making five, but Truro are in the Conference league-below-South play offs. IF they should come up to the Conference South, I could see Nico doing a good job down there for Steve Tully.

About Nicho, very much so. Manse I wouldn't want back, but I actually think he'd be a decent lower league manager one day.

Don't disagree with your sentiment cambgull, but we've had our fingers burnt in the past giving ex-players the managers job, I, personally think, and I'm not alone, that the club is getting it's fingers burnt in having a former club legend as it's current manager, after all look at CH's record in the league played 67 won 23, drawn 15, lost 30, and 50 % of our fan base appear quite happy with all things TUFC under his management (only because it's CH). So to employ another club legend to me would be yet another mistake.

Nicho has been released after a season at Kiddy. But he has left with much less of a taste in his mouth than when he left here. Supporters were generaly supportive of him. I imagine he will be looking for another club at this level now.

However I objected to that fact it was made out as if CH did not want Manse and chose for him to leave. This wasn't the case. CH wanted Manse here and therefore offered him a contract, he was only in a position though to offer what he did. This was based on budgets for this year, we were dropping down a division and the fact Lee was getting older and had not performed to the same level last season.

I think the time was right for club and player to part ways. Playing for a new club seems to have rejuvinted him somewhat, and you cannot object to him taking more money elsewhere at this stage of his career, much in the same way as when Branston left.
Mansell has proved that he's good enough, the problem was he played for bad managers. Yes he moved on because we could not afford his wages. :keepie: Best of luck to him.

Let's face it Manse was a disaster last season both on and off the pitch, how he and Nico divided the dressing room was , IMO, the major reason for our problems last year. I hate to say it, or even think it, but I do wonder how Knill might have performed had all of the team been behind him.

Nicho was poor at best at left back for a while before he left us. He was sussed by opposition as a weak link, players passed him to easily when in position and when out of position he would berate other players that were there too much too often for my liking.

His set piece kicks and throw ins were good but I would cringe every time he took corners as they were often wasted.

His first season with us was his best in my opnion but regardless of the above he served the club with dedication.

Manse is probably on something at Rovers similar to what he was on with us. Can't blame him for that, and can't blame Hargreaves either.

Not sure about Nico though - can't remember if we offered him a reduced deal or just let him go?? Unfortunately he really would have improved this current side, although I admittedly didn't think he would before the season.
You sure about that? I'm a great fan of Nicho, he did great things in his time here - but that last season? He was pretty woeful...

Indeed. The commute was just too much of a pain to be viable long term, despite liking the area.
