thetrees Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I dont think MON will go there. He to scared of losing his "saint martin" tag for a risky job like that. Plus it is clear that they don't pay compensation :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makouns_grin Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 he isnt being paid compensation they are reporting thank god lerner listened to us and didnt appoint the wally with a brolley. if he did we would be bottom of the league. see we do know something randy. i hope that muppet adrian durham on talkshite is enjoying eating humble pie when he said mclaren was best we could get he is finished now who the hell would take him Life is not that simple. Just because Forest are doing shit doesn't mean he automatically would have for us as well. Let me guess Lerner got a load of abuse for not hiring him?

briny_ear Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I dont think MON will go there. He to scared of losing his "saint martin" tag for a risky job like that.The manager has just resigned citing lack of transfer funds. And the Chairman has said he will stand down at the end of the season because (implied) he's realised he's a crap chairman. So I suspect there will not be a queue for this job.

The_Rev Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 McLaren is a genius, he has to be, i mean how else can someone with so little talent and knowledge get the jobs he got and make the money he made. He should write a book, "how to make millions while being a complete ****" To be fair, he won the league in Holland with a club who arent PSV or Ajax. That is pretty good going.

On the other hand, its a big club in that division, its got a rich history. Its the kind of job that if someone can get it right will improve the managerial CV no end. Yes its not perfect, but its a damn sight more interesting than alot of jobs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 think Forest job is a poison chalice for one reason. You will always be compared to Clough. Since he left nobody has really stepped up for the club 1993 Frank Clark 1996 Stuart Pearce 1997 Dave Bassett 1999 Micky Adams 1999 Ron Atkinson 1999 David Platt 2001 Paul Hart 2004 Joe Kinnear 2004 Mick Harford 2005 Gary Megson 2005 Frank Barlow and Ian McParland 2006 Colin Calderwood 2008 John Pemberton 2009 Billy Davies 2011 Steve McClaren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunRickyRun Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Dave Bassett did a good job for them before the owners sold Kevin Campbell which caused Van Hooijdonk to throw a hissy fit. It all went downhill from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 The problem is nobody can live up to what Clough did. When he took over Forest they were pretty much as they are to day, a small provincial club with a large potential fan base and he gave them a five year spell where they were winning major trophies at a rate Barcelona would be envious of. I cant see those days ever coming back. Part of me is disappointed that I only got to see the later years of Clough. The man was clearly a genius, to have three statues of you erected in three cities by the supporters of three different clubs , each for entirely different reasons is beyond impressive.

The_Rev Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Didnt they also name a stretch of motorway after him. That is even rarer than 3 statues It was the A52, a major road in England from Stoke to Skegness. The busy stretch between Derby and Nottingham is called Brian Clough Way.

b6bloke Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 what gets me is that the fans did not want Billy Davies to go and they want him back. Billy got paid of the final year of his contract so has offered to come in and manage the team till the end of the season to help out as he has already been paid for it which I think is a massive ting to offer considering how he was treated but the club have turned down his offer. Forrest fans are livid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
