Not sure its been mentioned but I reckon he could still do a job for us. I don't think we ever replaced him.

Good luck to Nigel.
He was probably sick of watching Slippy G falling over all the time.

Not so sure about that! He was persona non grata in MLS due to persistent red cards, over the top challenges...a couple of leg breakers spring to mind...and I think the reffing standards here in the States are unsuited to his game. He was a known entity before he arrived and he just can't help himself.That was a cushy gig in LA, fair play to him.
And, losing a few steps has not helped his tackling!
Good luck to him in Turkey!

Love Nigel....
BUT he was horrendous for the Galaxy. I saw first hand how he had lost a step and those challenges that he made before that were inch perfect..... were braking legs and getting red cards cause he was late.
The media here made him look like Roy Keane, spit. Glad he's leaving and hopefully the Turkish game plays a little slower and he can keep on.
Threw him a City scarf the last game I went to so at least he felt the love!
