An extra body to help JE and PD out, Nicholls was a great, very passionate player.
Good shout IMO.

Yep, my best mate is a Luton fan who was gutted with him leaving despite his injury problems, so I'll be rubbing this in. :D

He is a Luton legend and was a fantastic player in his younger days. He was also a nasty player to have to play against so hopefully some of that will rub off onto our team, as I still think we are a too 'nice' somtimes, which is why we struggle against the likes of Crawley and Newport.

I wonder where this will leave Paul Driver - maybe a step back/sideways - or is Nicholls' appointment a contingency move in case JE should get an offer he can't refuse?

Mixed feelings on that, but I will support JE's choices. Will bring experience, however his 'nasty' player tag is purely built on having a shaved head and when the time comes to step up he bottles it.

You could have 140 years of no achievement, or twenty years of glorious victories, you decide.

Strange move this, I hope it is an addition rather than a replacement.

Timing is also concerning in that Hereford are announcing their new Manager tomorrow! They apparently interviewed the prospective candidates 10 days ago.

I have heard JE say that he does not rule out leaving for a league position, but I would not have thought that Hereford was either an advantageous move or in the right location, so I feel it unlikely but the timing issues concern me.
