So honestly lads how many on here are calling for a new manager?

How many of you are asking where certain players have gone?

Why can't you see that this is what you have been calling for and this has been the consequence, for the last 10 years at least.

Gary Brazil is a new manager, is it new manager 7 or 8 I lose count? He has his own thoughts about who he rates and who he can get to perform and as we can see is completely different to Philippe Montanier.

As soon as we lose a couple of games the call goes out, from a certain section of fans, we need a new manager. Take your pick Warburton, Pearson, Rowlett, Clough get any of them in right now and they will change everything again.

We played well yesterday against a good settled side. The atmosphere in the ground was better and we deserved at least a point.

Stop calling for new managers every time we lose a few games. Because Fawaz listens to calls like these and he acts on them.

Not the only reason we are in a financial mess right now, but at the top of the list for the most damaging.

Wishey, managers are:
Steve cotterill (albeit for a day)
SOD
Alex McLeish
Billy Davies
Gary Brazil
Stuart Pearce
Dougie Freedman
Paul Williams
PM
Gary Brazil

I think we should offer it back to DF. Sorry Skeg, he's bad but not as bad as Brazil.

2star if that muppet came back here I would start supporting Boston town he would definitely be the nail in the coffin anyway if there was one manager that was coming back it would after be Billy Davies simple sorry 2 tone B-)

2 Star thanks for that.

Now just recall what each and everyone of them did as soon as the reached a transfer window. (Those of them lucky enough to last long enough to reach a transfer window)

' I need 4 or 5 players. I need to strengthen the squad. '

What are any of those managers like given a full season in charge?

Billy Davies, who I hate with a passion, was given his chance the first time round. In my opinion, he did well, but reached his limit and would have shut the academy. He should never been reappointed.

The rest of the longer term appointments had more of a long term view and were trying to build the club. Sadly we will never know how good O'Driscoll, Pearce, Freedman and Montanier would have been given time.

I personally think if we had stuck with any of the four, we would have been better off, both from a financial and stability point of view.

Skegsjay,

Billy Davies first time round got us to the play offs. (His limit) Lost to 10 man Swansea. He was backed. He was given time. That is Davies at his best. He should never have come back!

He managed to get Derby into the Premier League, then left the worst team in Premier League history (God it feels good to type those words again) He left them with a team of expensive failures. A mess I believe Nigel Clough sorted out for him.

Billy davies acheived nothing as our manager. Skegsjay you surprise me as if it was not for the rebuilt acedemy whjch he burnt to the ground we would be desperate today. No as much as you despise DF is heart was in the right Place. BD was on a mission to settle scores and destroy the club. Horrid man.

I thought he was the best manager we've had in ages we actually played decent football under him and a lot better than any of the managers you have mentioned what do you reckon 2 tone :-)

Any true forest fan would not want davies back. Whst he did in his second term had nothing to do with the success of the club. It was Billy Davies time the club was incidental. He should be lined up and shot with his own rubbish and if you like him the stand and protect him. Pearce and Freedman loved this club, davies loved himself. Total awnker.

Opinions Skegsjay, we are all entitled to them. I respect you for sticking with your opinion.

It amazed me how few Billy supporters I could find after the 5-0 defeat to Derby. Billy was a little illusion too.

I don't think you will find many Derby or Preston fans calling for him to go back to manage their clubs again either.

Donald Trump, perhaps an odd choice. One thing I do grasp is his perception of some the media, he doesn't seem to articulate what he means that well. Fake news, what does he mean by that? It could mean the stories have are an account of an event but the reasons given lack integrity and set out to manipulate and deceive the public. Here's a few Davies didn't play acccademy players, this is true. This develops into his quest was to destroy the ND academy. Does that statement lack integrity. He didn't dislike young players that's for sure as he nurtured many. He was divisive and no one likes him. Intriguingly several players have come out and said he was divisive but they loved playing for him, slightly different to the way the press developed the divisive theme. Personally I think the ship has sailed a long time ago but I do feel some of the views worthy of respectful challenge. What I want as a paying fan is a manager who gets every player fighting for the club, wanting to play for the manager and each other and gets every player reaching their full potential. Without those things forget anything else because success for a team requires the manager in every walk of life to nurture those things. Seems like Billy had those attributes in spades.

2 Star good point!

I wish I could find the original quote, so please accept my apology for paraphrasing.

Davies: 'I want nothing to do with the Forest Academy. I am not paid enough to look after that and the first team squad'.

We will never know if the reporting at the time lacked integrity, any clever person can blur contexts especially journalists. I have no intention of trying to change anyone's views but feel the backing his had from former players may suggest some of the journalism about him has lacked integrity.

I refer mainly to his second spell at the club. He disrespected the fans the owner and a lot of the long serving staff. let's just move on. He ain't coming back but if he did as a fan i would have to get behind him. He has qualities but let himself down badly last time. But any manager picking a forest team needs our support.

All this a side looking at the fixtures coming up it is difficult to see where points are going to come from and we are by no means out of the woods yet. I fear the worse fellow reds.

Point taken, just seems odd we were warned about Billy by both Preston and Derby supporters. Billy only played Lascelles because we had yet another injury crisis.

I know he has been paid by us, but if he was as good as some think. Why is he still unemployed?

To be fair Forest does seem to be a bit of a graveyard for previous managers, apart from McClaren none of our managers are managing anywhere else.

It looks like all 4 Billy Davies supporters are out in force today.

Funny I thought there was 3000 of them when they hounded Nigel Doughty from the club.
