You won't be far off now... Warnock will have them training in body armour tomorrow. they won't be conceding 3,4 or 5 anymore

 

Quite right, Warnock's Leeds were notoriously difficult to break down....

....And that wasn't the only drubbing they got at Elland Road that season. Let's not remember Forest couldn't buy a bloody goal under Cotterill either.

 

 

**Oh, and Hux - if you like defenders that can't actually defend then boy, are you gonna love Pelts.

Of that list, while Warnock might have the best chance of dragging them back into the play-offs (then a 1/4 lottery chance of promotion, maybe 1/3 with Warnock), Malky Mackay would surely be the stand-out choice medium-term. Sacking him could well mean relegation for Cardiff, employing him could well mean promotion for Forest next season.

 

I like the idea of Collymore as manager, though. An intelligent bloke, but you just feel that something bizarre and horrible would go wrong. How about a dream team of Collymore and Kenny Burns? About 5 years back, Burns stood on my foot in the stand at Forest - and apologised most humbly. Lucky for him or I'd have decked him!  :ph34r: Just joking, Kenny! He's a very big man, whom I wouldn't have liked to have faced as a striker!

If I were a Forest fan (and thank God I'm not!), I would be very concerned by this interview.

 

As suspected, this Fawaz guy hasn't got clue what he's doing. Sacks his manager, announces the signing of a player for his intended new manager, fails to secure preferred new manager, employs some former player as advisor because he's a legend (in spite of the fact he played the game donkeys' years ago), doesn't seem to have any strategy on what to do next other than listen to what other people tell him....

 

The quote: "We spent a lot of money this year, we expected to be top" basically sums the guy up. He clearly thinks money equals success despite having the ideal example to the contrary just down the road!

 

They will of course hear the bits about him working day and night, great club, if not this year then next blah blah blah... but in reality, there stands a man who looks completely and utterly lost as to what he should be doing next.

 

It would seem that we got so, so lucky with our owners.

two things...

 

1) Thanks Redhux, the best away poster on the board, balanced, knowledgeable and interesting.

Oh what a great time it is not to be a Forest fan.

 

Their owner is just one step below Vincent Tan in the baloney department.

It didn't help that Davies came up with his intricate (and highly eyebrow-rising) starting line-ups, either. Granted, injuries played their part.

But you don't go out there and play a defender as a striker (unless his name is Steve Walsh).

To put this in perspective, the equivalent situation would be the LCFC board firing Pearson and then taking advice from Alan Young on the future of the club lol

Fawaz wanted control over transfers according to Talksport this morning. Reason why Colin didn't take the job.

And the starting XI according to a few local journalists. In particular, more game time for Abdoun and Djebbour.

I'm really baffled by the love their owner is currently recieving from their fans. From an outsiders perspective he's running the club like a complete shambles, yet everybody on their forum is acting like he hasnt put a foot wrong and it's all Davies' fault. Very strange.
