I find it absolutely baffling how we have 7 pages of largely pointless speculation about the departure of a largely anonymous senior administrator...utterly bizarre if you ask me... Here's your answer right here. Oh look who's in joint 6th position.

You didn't walk in on DH giving your missus a right good bamboozling by any chance did you Marcus?

Kin ell, you really have no idea about the real world do you? PR. It's there to appease the hard of thinking and clearly works on most. Do you expect DB to say "Derby's a shithole but you pay well".? Who is the DB you refer to? Dacob Butterfield, of course - doh!

Late response to all this brouhaha. Pucking delighted he has gone. In my dealings with im he was an anagram of an Danish king of England 995– 1035 PriceWaterhouseCoopers and GrantThornton in his CV - obviously a right shit. Good Riddance.

Interested to hear some more detail on why he was disliked? Because he was single minded? Because he was authoritarian? Because he was Rude? Consensus appears to be that he's done a good job so what is it, or hasn't he done a good job?

The club is in a better position than when Hoyle came in, and as Hoyle regularly says Clibbens handled the day to day running of the club, this is clearly in a large part down to him. Will be interested to see who takes over.

Probably was a mistake in the first place putting him in a role that requires so much customer interaction. But aside from that, he seemed alright to me, decent sense of humour when he allowed his guard to drop.

Can't believe so many people are happy about him leaving. Look at where we've come from since he joined the club. I've always felt like we were in safe hands and in the current bonkers climate of football I was more than happy to have a 'non football man' coming in with a different perspective to how we should operate.
Good luck to him, never met the guy apart from a few positive exchanges on Twitter but appreciate everything he's done for us.

Not sure CEOs at the bigger clubs would engage so much with fans or do Q&As etc

Not sure CEOs at the bigger clubs would engage so much with fans or do Q&As etc Yes, it does. We're not a bigger club. We are a club that prides itself on its community engagement and has to work hard to get fans through the door...the COO at the "likes of" Hudds Town HAVE to be out there, be seen to be listening and working with the community and supporters. We're not Chelsea (thank god)! I suppose the tricky thing for football clubs is that they (at the stage Hudds are at), are tiny businesses but they have a seemingly MASSIVE importance and impact in the community. Nobody really cares what the CEO of Asda says.

And he once claimed to be a Town fan although I'd take that with a pinch of salt.

Couldn't get to grips with the new managed motorway and its varying speed limits.

I know a lad who used to work at town who saw him everyday and by all accounts he was a right nasty piece of work. I can imagine him upsetting a few people from what I've heard. Having said that, you cant be a pushover in that position but you can have some decency too. Hopefully a good move for the club going forward.

I wouldn't say he was a nasty piece of work, just not someone who should be in PR, and from what i understand that is the main issue why he has left the club. NC has done a fantastic job in his time at town regarding finances, however it now seems Town are ready to move onto the next phase, and with that its looking like a new direction.

To be fair to Nigel, I just don't think he was suited to the role. He's an accountant who had never been in a public facing role before. Very unusual to step straight from practice (where he wasn't a Partner or even a Director) into CEO. Perhaps at a similar sized business but without the high profile he'd have been fine.
He was never even a football fan before he joined Town so to expect him to empathise with the fans, along with being the public face of the Club, was a big ask.

Maybe the reason he has gone is because he was allegedly "moonlighting" with another football club.
