If it is him this is from Barnet fans forum.
"For me the only positives that can be taken from Nugent's time here is his willingness to give some game time to Cojocarel and Shomotun, who I both rate. That's literally it.From me he gets no credit for getting the team to put in some ok performances without the results to match, as with the squad we have it would take some truly awful management not to achieve this.He also gets no credit for being a "nice guy", as he's shown no evidence of this - quite the opposite in fact.He demonstrated absolutely nothing to suggest that he's an improvement on any manager we've had since Cottee.He's had ample time to make the job his and win fans over. If anything, the circumstances he was put in were kind.
The majority of our fixtures were against teams below us in the table, and he was given additional games to show what he could do after the Notts County debacle because TK felt that the injury situation was reasonable grounds to give him more time.Nobody wanted him to fail. We were just outside the playoffs when he joined - anyone who wants a new manager to fail when taking over in those circumstances isn't a supporter, quite frankly. He chose to keep making the same tactical errors every week, he chose to insult and embarrass his own players and supporters and he chose to make endless excuses and blame his predecessors for everything without ever taking responsibility. He had his chance and he blew it, spectacularly. He did not deserve more time and, rightly, he will get no more. The only sympathy I have for him is that his management here was so incompetent that he will have trouble getting anything like the same opportunity again"."

Then there is of course the story of when he called up a lad from the youth team berated him during the game and told him he was heading straight back to the youth team during he game.
If Nugent does get it you would wonder do clubs even look for references when hiring a manager. The amount of clubs that sign managers that other clubs have had bad experiences with is staggering. Especially in the LOI.
I still reckon he has to be a ruse. It's like someone is laughing at us.
He's far too obviously terrible to be true like!
Rather than putting out nonsense it would be better if the club actually went about hiring someone imo.
Coming up on week six is getting farcical at this stage even by our standards.
And even if someone is hired over the weekend we've now maneuvered the new manager into having Dundalk at home as their first game quickly followed by two away games in a week.
I said two weeks ago that we had to TRY and get someone that knows or league if this rumour of nugent is true then that is a worrying appointment a guy who has done f all in management who is apparently a pig of a man on top of things it will turn out to be a disaster why ffs are we going after people like this he shouldn't of even got an interview never mind the job.
Again a big if, he gets the job then I would say I have no problem him getting an interview as you need to explore options but most people have found out within a few minutes search that his managerial career to date has been awful and his reputation is bad too. Lets just hope the club have seen this already and it's just a rumour thats getting out of control. About 2 weeks ago people swore blind to me that Roddy had got the job then it was Tommy Barrett and Willie Boland. Only time will tell.
Taking way too much time now. A few weeks ago I was happy out as Boland seemed a perfect interim appointment, but this is taking way too long. Reeks of indecision at this stage.

In Limerick today would be a very solid choice imo.
Just give him the job!!
He has a decent CV. I'd imagine he'd have good contacts in the UK also. On paper he's the best of those linked with the job.
The club would want to hurry up its only 7 weeks now
Any murmurings? I thought it was to be announced yesterday or was it today or even tomorrow ??!
Well Willie told the players today was his last session.
Was told steve watson but then mcdonald was inter viewed
The new guy isn't going to have much time with the team ahead of Dundalk at this rate.

No white smoke this morning. What is the actual issue here? Contract negotiations maybe? Another late application?

It would want to be a good appointment now if they have taken this long to find Steve Watson for example its embarrassing.
