Designer1 Posted February 5, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'd say something is rotten in the state of Nottingham. Definitely more to this than Eck just being poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Jesus forest have dodged a bullet here. From a selfish point of view I would have liked him to have stayed, as it is 'villa fans never gave him a chance lives on' His next job must be in the far east - can't see anyone else wanting him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islingtonclaret Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) They're pretty lucky. On the other hand, it's clear that their owners don't have a clue what's going on. I feel for the people of Nottingham - the Forest fans laughing at County's demise now look like they're about to have their turn.

Shillzz Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) He wasn't, and still isn't, a very good manager, but I quite liked Mcleish as an individual and feel a little sorry for him with regards to the way things have turned out for him at Forest. He did a better job here than Lambert is currently doing, with virtually no support from the club's fans. Yet we still hate him and wish him misfortune? Nah.

pacbuddies Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Best news I have heard in ages. Even better that it was one of his former clubs that put the final nail in his coffin. It couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 He walked and wasnt sacked so his reputation wont be that tarnished. Though he is football management, the only job you can be shit and still get another job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) He''ll use the transfer saga as an excuse for leaving, but let's be honest his record at forest was woeful Edited February 5, 2013 by mikeyp102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many things wrong with this post I wouldn't know where to start so I'm not even going to bother. Look; I'm not defending what he did here in terms of managing the team, we all know how that went. But he doesn't deserve the attitude he gets from Villa fans, he was a terrible manager, but pleasant enough man. His only real crime was being crap, and previously managing Birmingham ofcourse. Neither of those is enough to warrant some of the comments on here. ... Actually... as someone who has had to endure his football 'style' at two clubs, I'll make an exception for you. But I still stand by my opinion on the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 every manager does the same thing though whether its Jose Mourinho, Alex Ferguson or Alex McLeish. The way he was treated by some Villa fans was appalling. Am sure his 1st defeat was a cup game vs Bolton and he got booed off after about 8 games Lambert has lost about 15 games this season and booing and criticism has only started happening now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 How does a manager and his employer develop starkly different philosophies for the club after 7 games? Absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
