Billy Davies Jan 09 - Jun 11 Steve McLaren Jun 11 - Oct 11 Steve Cotterill Oct 11 - Jul 12 Sean O’Driscoll Jul 12 - Dec 12 Alex McLeish Dec 12 - Feb 13 Billy Davies Feb 13 - Mar 14 Stuart Pearce Jul 14 - Feb 15 Dougie Freedman Feb 15 - Mar 16 Philippe Montanier Jun 16 - Jan 17 Mark Warburton Mar 17 - Dec 17 Aitor Karanka Jan 18 - Jan 19 Martin O’Neill Jan 19 - Jun 19 Sabri Lamouchi Jun 19 - Oct 20 Chris Hughton Oct 20 - Sep 21 Steve Cooper Sep 21 - for many years to come I would expect… I think that’s all the supposedly “permanent” managers who have taken charge. Judging by the duration of a couple of them I’m not sure if I’ve discounted someone who wasn’t meant to be a stop gap appointment. I feel Gary Brazil warrants a mention as he’s apparently taken charge on three separate occasions managing 22 games, with a not totally terrible recorded of 7 wins and 4 draws. In comparison to Forest’s 15 managers (Billy Davies x2) listed above, Villa have had 9 managers in that time (MON, Houllier, McLeish, Lambert, Sherwood, Garde, RDM, Bruce, Smith) so not exactly streets ahead, but the door hasn’t revolved quite as much. Incidentally it’s kinda strange that Lambert hasn’t found himself at the City Ground, seems like it would have been an inevitable appointment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pas5898 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Good start for Steve Cooper. Off the bottom of the table already. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Good etuff. Will just miss out on the play offs. Start next season full of promise. Get off to a stinker. Sack the manager. Get their act together just miss out on the play offs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 They have a good shot of making play offs but probably won't get promoted. I've always kept an eye on the championship since our stint there and its good to see ex villan Lewis Grabban doing well there. He would have been a good striker for us had we signed him permanently and he was unlucky not to get promoted with us in 2018. They also gave us Matty Cash so i quite like Forest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Can imagine the media buzz if they got promoted. Similar to Leeds. Wonder if people would find it as annoying if the media was waxing lyrical about Forest as they did with Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manchester has the Media City, Leeds now has Channel 4, London has everything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I believe you’re wrong, the media buzz wouldn’t be a quarter that accompanied Leeds’ promotion. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would be talked about by the media, and fans from other clubs as they are a decent sized club with two European cups. Leeds attract more of a buzz though. Bigger club and just something about them. Forest > Leeds every time though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
