Nathan to Gillingham?

[anygivensunday]

Thanks. I take it that's a joke about the bookies reading your forum?

On another thread it says that he was made second favourite before he'd been even been mentioned our end. Most of out fans have never heard of him.

I read that - he was actually added to the market sometime yesterday at 8/1 not at 0.02AM today
He probably got added to the market as some punter requested a quote for him - the bookies no nothing usually.

Why would he go to Gillingham? Any coach that can get Hyypia's team playing like he did deserves a lot better,

Nathan now 4/7 with Skybet.

Well if he is destined for the Gills job good luck to him

 

[HCxUK]

Would be sad to see him go, seems to have a good relationship with the players, can't blame him for turning down a managers job an OK club

Agreed, I guess once you taste being number 1, and doing well, albeit only for 2 games, it will feel a giant step backwards going back to assistant, or worse, 1st team coach

Is NJ on contract? Would the Gills have to buy him from us?

I think we could make them pay up his contract yes but that might depend on the terms, I think some coaches would have a get out clause of so much money if offered a managerial position.

I wonder whether it would really be a good move for Nathan. Here he is becoming part of the furniture and should be on a decent contract. Perhaps much will depend on the terms Gillingham are prepared to give him. It would certainly be a challenge for him.

Would be a great first appointment for him and perhaps destined to return as Albion manager one day

Odds usually mean feck all apart from a few have backed him with like £20. I'm can't see it happening personally...

 

[GingerBeerMan]

For his career it'd be best to go into management. If you're a failed manager you can usually go back to being a coach (or assistant manager) fairly easily. If you're a decent coach it's harder to get into management unless someone 'takes a punt' on you, or you get a lucky break from the club you are coaching.

There isn't much to lose and potentially everything to gain should he be successful at Gillingham.

 

[Icy Gull]

If I was him I'd grab the Gillingham job, I don't see TB ever giving him the job here. Hopefully we'll be in the Premier League by the next time we change manager. For what it's worth I think Nathan would do very well at Gillinghaml.

According to my Gillingham supporting friend, the Gills are currently putting together a 'package' to enable their identified candidate to leave his existing club. The rumours were Ady Pennock or Nathan.
