I wish I'd never raised the subject of Bromby's garden, some of the following posts have been blooming terrible. People are always raking up the past in this place. Hoe, Hoe, Hoe ! 😬 😊

Bromby over his time as football ops, has made some very strange manager/ head coach choices. The transfer windows bar one , have been very ppor. His first offical window was the first CC was here, that window was ok at best , you can caviat the signing of Eiting with the shocking siginging of Perriera. We get to the january window, needing a centre half and a centre forward and the best we apparently could find was Sanogo and Keogh yeah right .... The next window was a great window can't lie , but How much influence did CC have with this? i ask this as the January window when we were 3rd all we could find to support the push was an already injured Anjorin and a hardly playing Eiting? Last summer has been very much documented and the mangerial appoints have been a 1/10 at best apart from CC, remember MF was a "we must get this right appointment" dear god Bromby how wrong could you have got it , were you having a laugh at the club by this stage?
As a sporting director i couldn't possibly give him more than a 4/10 , yes i understand he is working within a budget, but so are other clubs and they do not make the amount of mistakes this chap makes. He also doesn't help himself, when speaking to the press etc as he does come across as a bit of cock sore cocky type, which i find a bit gawling for someone who is in their first appoint, at this role and he seems to take huge credit for certain things and no blame for others.

Remember the huge gaff he made re extending Danny Simpson's contract by a month end of 19/20 season when the poor loves were asked to play into July ? Did this without approval from anyone then had to renege on it..... caused a massive dressing room rift that could have sent us down.

YESSSS forgot that huge gaff, he was willing to pay Simpson for a month without asking permission from the guy paying the wage. Plus Simpson was been paid a dam sight mroe than he should have been ayways.

I listened to a podcast with Danny Simpson and he didn't touch on ever being offered anything from the Club and it being taken away. Simpson said he turned down a 2 year deal from Town when he first signed for the Club. He said he only wanted to sign a 1 year deal because he thought he'd be able to get a better deal elsewhere after the first year. He was close to signing a contract with Celtic for 3 years but talks broke down and he needed to find a Club when Town came in for him. Didn't get the impression that he felt messed around by the Club, seemed to kick himself for not signing for longer.

From the managerial appointments to the signings we made. It all seems idealistic, naive, and hopeful... rather than being in control.
The problem is without inside knowledge we don't know if this was what he wanted to do or whether he was forced to given the financial restraints. And in that case it's the board being idealistic and hopeful.

He may have reflected on it subsequently, but don't forget he didn't play for us again after that disastrous Wigan game and he was spouting off on social media in the days afterwards.

Yes - I remember listening to it waiting for the HTAFC slander but there was nothing of the sort:

You have to question that decision in the light of the past seasons 'ups and many more downs' on the recruitment front???

Id be surprised if he's given much of a say in the next manager, but in terms of player recruitment Im not surprised at all they want him to stay.

He's rated highly in the game and a lot of the poor decisions can be put down to a limited budget His ego is also stupidly high mate, he appointed Fotheringham for one reason and one reason only. He threw Schofield under the bus for the same reason.
Budget or no budget , there are clubs in our league who have done better with their money , for the simple reason and we all know what that is.
If fans want to have a go at people at the club, Bromby is defo one of them that fully deserves the slagging off.

If the club had signed some of the players the scouts had found we’d had a much better season. But lock him in the cupboard the next time we want to choose a boss.

If you cant do the job because of unfair pressures on you, leave.?

No one can take him seriously after the whole judge me on the next manager appointment,then going and hiring fotheringham. He cost the club loads by having to sack two managers in the space of six months

No one can take him seriously after the whole just me on the next manager appointment,then going and hiring fotheringham. He cost the club loads by having to sack two managers in the space of six months In fact if i was Bromby i would have packed my own bags, the cheek of him to stick around like a bad smell after that garbage of an appointment. He knew when he appointed Fotheirngham it wasn't going to work, now he was either laughing at the club or thought in some twisted way it would makeh im look better?
Looking at the transfer windows he has been sporting director/ operations manager for, he has failed in every single one bar one. How he has built up this so called "highly regarded" reputation is beyond me, he must be a god dam good salesman.

If this is true - and if the Warnock rumours are to be believed - then it seems that Nagle might be doing his best to avoid a full reset next season.
I just hope he intends to do one in 12 months time.

I just hope he intends to do one in 12 months time. Not against the idea of warnock. However if we don’t go that route and we start again I still say we should be looking at Chris markham for dof or technical director.I know I’m repeating myself on a different thread but makes sense to me.Did good job by all accounts at town,done an impressive job since been at Bolton and even with the fa his work was admired(for want of a better word I can’t think of). More mentions to him this weekend just on the subject of penalties by Carlisle manager and a nod from Luton manager rob edwards too. Town fan also. May miss the boat on this one if don’t look at him now I’d say.Not saying a different route wouldn’t work or that this would just a personal preference.

He thought Fotheringham was the man to take this club forward.
He should be gone already for that alone.

Player wise I think he’s done well, considering the budget limitations. Manager wise he’s had more misses than hits.
Think it’s time for a fresh start and Chris Markham sounds a decent option.

The Fotheirngham appointment, must have been Bromby having a laugh at the club. From MF's first ever interview, you thought this is not going to go well. Bromby knew he would piss everyone off, so was having a at the clubs expense. Forget budgets for a second, Bromby with some of the signings made and defo coach appointments was just insulting everyones intellegence. The problem is the club and those above him were letting him do it, If and this is a huge IF clearly, Bromby had sent me as the owner of the club the contracts, of Mahoney,Bboyle and Fotheringham i would have told him to go fuck himself and try again . The budget was never that small that we had to sign / appoint those. We had the third/ fourth lowest budget under Wagner/Webber in the promotion year. We did not sign shit like that then, so why do it now ? tell you why we had the wrong person doing the wrong things thats why.
