Nile Ranger

[Brett Angle]

No chance. Sadly the only example Nile can set all these young players is how NOT to behave as a professional sportsman. Wouldn't let him within a mile of these impressionable young men. I was all for giving him a chance first time around but he blew it and only has himself to blame. Every other club in the country have had the opportunity to sign him over the last two years - tells you something that they haven't.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Maybe Nile has changed?

Like one of those ex-gang members that find God in prison and then give talks in schools?

 

[Ricey]

I’d have him back in a flash!

I wonder how fit he is these days?

So we get rid of the 'bad eggs' in the dressing room in Jan but people think it's a good idea to get in the worst egg in our history?!

Wow! Desperation does strange things to people!

My take;

Given our current desperate situation I would offer him the chance to train with us, if he's offering his services for nothing then it's not going to impact Ron's finances. If he agrees to train with the team, and proves he can turn up (on time) when requested, work hard, get fit, and - and this is a BIG AND, he stays out of trouble, then maybe...

Additionally I think Sol would be a good mentor for him as they both come from a London estate, but clearly move in totally different directions. But considering the way Sol works and thinks he could potentially connect with Nile and push him in the right direction. Also with the clubs new fitness coach, we would be at least be able to get Nile fit. I see Sol as a deep thinker, and would likely to be able to suss Nile out quickly and decide if he has finally changed. Surely even the dim witted Nile must know this is last chance saloon if he does get offered the opportunity.

Personally, I'd give him a go. There's a decent player in there, if his head is right.

I'd take him back. He will flourish under Sol.

Come home Nile

 

[WESTY_SUFC]

It's to do a hit on Ron not play football

 

[Wingnut]

Cant sign no one anyway

 

[rlb999]

Hilarious that people consider this. Have we learned nothing?

 

[blue pilot]

No thanks. Can we move on from him, he's one of the factors that's lead us to where we are now. Besides the guy hasn't played in over 2 years anyway so miles off the fitness level.

 

[Ricky Otto]

I do like Nile but we have a manager who demands absolute discipline and has extremely high standards of professionalism. Complete non-starter

 

[MK Shrimper]

No no no no no and no.

The worst? No.

Exactly we're in this position because of players like Ranger, God help us. This has to be the darkest time in our history.

 

[londonblue]

No no no no no and no.

So you're all for it then?

 

[Strykr]

Lets bring back li*m ri**ew*ll too. Good times...

 

[Ricky Otto]

The worst? No.

I think a lot of people get Nile wrong, he certainly isn't an Angel but I was at a Q&A with Ron once where Nile came up in the conversation and Ron stated that Nile was not a troublemaker when people were suggesting it and that it was his lax professionalism that was the problem. Obviously this can create division itself when others feel that somebody is not working as hard as others but I don't think Nile ever got in peoples ears and told them he didn't like other members of the squad and tried to influence them to share his opinion like I have heard about others.

You've seen through my ruse......
