Unabomber Posted 27 December 2012 Posted 27 December 2012 reminds me of when we got megson, very grim.
ScouseFox Posted 27 December 2012 Posted 27 December 2012 Part of me debated maybe leaving it after the last thread mocking a new managerial appointment (Poor Swansea etc) but fcuk it. hashahshahsahahajahaaaha\
lcfcsnow Posted 27 December 2012 Posted 27 December 2012 I wouldn't wish McLeish on anyone, I'd be fuming if that happened here. I think I'd even have Pearson over him.
Fox92 Posted 27 December 2012 Posted 27 December 2012 Can't see him failing personally. He won't bring proper football, but I always thought he was decent at this level.
FrankieADZ Posted 27 December 2012 Posted 27 December 2012 He has a good record in the championship tbf, tho that was with a Birmingham team that had just been relegated the year before. A lot of Forest fans seem to be a bit disappointed..... :: Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
Guest Bilo Posted 27 December 2012 Posted 27 December 2012 Can't see him failing personally. He won't bring proper football, but I always thought he was decent at this level. He says with his fingers crossed.
Fox92 Posted 27 December 2012 Posted 27 December 2012 He says with his fingers crossed. Leicester, Derby and Forest all back in the Premier League, of course I would like to see that again.
Tielemans63 Posted 27 December 2012 Posted 27 December 2012 They've obviously been negotiating with McLeish while SOD was still manager - classy. I guess SOD cocked it up for them slightly by winning yesterday - obviously made no difference as the job had already been offered to AM, prob some weeks ago. It's a great sport this. For what it's worth, I don't think it's a bad appointment at all for Forest. Didn't do great at Villa but has a pretty decent record everywhere else - even at Brum.
Babylon Posted 27 December 2012 Posted 27 December 2012 Would be really disappointed with that! Having said that you never know in footy.
Leicesterpool Posted 27 December 2012 Author Posted 27 December 2012 Well boring defensive football awaits Forest
oxford blue Posted 27 December 2012 Posted 27 December 2012 Well boring defensive football awaits Forest Forest fans think the same... But McLeish's appointment at Forest has been met with derision by fans on Twitter. Clency Lebrasse â€(@Clency) posted: 'McLeish? McLeish?? Is this a joke?!? Why are forest raiding the brummie poundland for a boss? Such an anti-climax after hopes of a big name. Ben List â€(@ACosmicHobo) added:'McLeish is a boring dour man who plays dour boring football. They'll be no more 4-2s at the City Ground this year #nffc Nick Pickard â€(@nickp210) said: 'Don't understand the appointment of Alex Mcleish, why would you get rid of O'Driscoll for him. We will be going back to hoof ball again' I couldn't disagree!
Charl91 Posted 27 December 2012 Posted 27 December 2012 MCLEISH!?!? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Leicesterpool Posted 27 December 2012 Author Posted 27 December 2012 McLeish is team plan is score to one early on then defend for the rest of the game! good luck forest Every club McLeish as joined he never seems to get a warm welcome, when he joined Birmingham they weren't happy about the appointment, when joined Villa the same, now the same with Forest. If our board do that to us, I wouldn't go anymore!
foxesfan1989 Posted 27 December 2012 Posted 27 December 2012 Is McLeish a bad appointment? The sacking in itself was stupid but I don't think it's a bad appointment.
RedHux Posted 27 December 2012 Posted 27 December 2012 It's, at best, a sideways move. At worst it's revealing that everything our owners have said so far is complete bollocks and we are in fact one of those clubs who **** people over for the riches of the promised land/cash of the prem. regardless of how brief that stay may be and what the people who pay the money to support the club think. I'd much rather have a well run club bobbing around the fringes of success then have us at the whims of someone who just wants to show off his premier league club to his mates.
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 27 December 2012 Posted 27 December 2012 Is McLeish a bad appointment? The sacking in itself was stupid but I don't think it's a bad appointment. I'd be surprised if the appointment results in A.) forest getting promoted B.) playing attractive football to help bump up the gate receipts C.) take the club forward in any shape or form So personally, I think it's a bad one. I don't see how a saine chairman could speak with McLeish for any period of time and go 'I know, I'll give him the job!' The only reason he won leagues at Rangers was because he was competing against Gordon Strachan who had slowly dismantled MON's team.
RedHux Posted 27 December 2012 Posted 27 December 2012 He may get us promoted. He's done it before. There seems to be no chance however of attractive football and the club as a whole is very unlikely to progress under his stewardship. This is very shit.
FoxyPV Posted 27 December 2012 Posted 27 December 2012 At least with Sven and Sousa, there were highs and farcical lows, yet with McLeish a life coloured in dull beige is all that awaits.
Corky Posted 28 December 2012 Posted 28 December 2012 They wanted a man with Premier League experience. His four seasons in the Premier League have included finishes of 19th and 18th with Birmingham, and 16th with seven wins at Aston Villa. That is some experience.
