Nile Ranger

Forums New posts
when I've thought about the type of player we miss I always came back to a Nile Ranger type. It's up to MM. No doubt he will have had long conversations with just about everyone about the other side of Nile and with Nile himself. Whatever the decision it will be made with eyes wide open.
 
I don’t know the guy personally, of course, so can only go on what has been publicly said or reported.

I’d have real concerns about his effect on the morale of the squad, as respect for rules, punctuality etc are all vital and he’s not got a great record on all that. Also I was completely outraged by the widely reported financial scam on vulnerable pensioners. That act seems to me to demonstrate a complete lack of moral compass, shame or empathy - I suspect most of us couldn’t even conceive of doing something like that. It’s repugnant.

However, if (and I don’t know whether he was ever actually convicted or sanctioned for that) he has paid his debt to society as set out in court then he is due a fair hearing. It would be a huge risk though, and that risk would need VERY close round the clock management. Would all that be worth the return on the pitch? I’m not convinced.

Crazy move at a time where we are starting to pull things together.

Signing Ranger is for when you are 10 points adrift and in need of snookers, not when you are unbeaten in four and looking like a proper team.

Ron Martin can never mention DD again.

depends how it works out if it's a goer. DD is about whether Nile has changed not how he was. Of course he might not have changed. Life is not simple.
 
Hahaha I love this game. Honestly, bring it on. On his day he is class, and despite his punctuality Nile actually is quite infectious with his energy. Always is popular.

Lets go Power Ranger, bring on the fun
 
This is a terrible idea that has got disaster written all over it. He's had so many chances and has never grown up, why do we think he will all of a sudden now? This could cause huge issues in the dressing room and wreck any chance we have of surviving this season. Stupid risk we don't need to take atm. Really annoyed at this.

Surely you remember him being jailed whilst still a Southend player?

He's had a number and shown no change.

Would be an awful signing
