Billy Davies a good manager, never has been and never will be and will hopefully never manage another club again.

He cost us millions and left us in mess.

Can the irritants name be banned from this site. We have to move on.

{Ed034's Note - I think that's a good place to leave it

We have got rid of two trouble makers, that caused discord in the squad, if Chalobah is of the same ilke, than no thank you.

Played brilliant for Watford, but never looked interested in playing for us, to be fair never really given a chance and we did have a manager who even when he had square pegs for square holes he still banged in round ones.

This time we have a manager with no unfinished business, just wants to get us back in the Premiership.

Is that the same "Pace merchant" Dyer who was integral in the Leicester team that ripped this league apart. Pace, we were sadly lacking in that department all season.

I agree that we were in a good position, but we were not convincing. The comparison with Man City is a non-starter, Man City have quality in depth and could field a second team that could finish in the top six of the Premiership.

Injuries or no injuries, BD's team selection and tactics were odd to say the least. There were also question marks over his training methods and decisions to bring players back.

But defeats away to Barnsley and draws at home to Doncaster showed just how poor he was. We still had enough on the pitch to win the games.

{Ed034's Note - take out the best back four and best midfield three and they would struggle.
We were top six comfortably and we were being talked about top two, then in juries hit. Whether you think we were convincing or not is a matter of opinion. I think were looked it, you didn't, but you cannot argue that before injuries we were comfortably top six

The point I have tried to make for a long time, is that injuries or no injuries, it was how he was behaving off the field that was doing the damage and it will remain opinion whether we would have made the Play Offs or not with BD in charge. His head was gone way before the injuries.

It is does not matter now. So is it possible for retrospective comments about what might been, without the injuries, to be removed. What is beyond any doubt is that BD is gone and good riddance.

Can we stop talking about BD and last season. I don't raise it, I only respond to people raising the "if we didn't have injuries question".

Richard46

{Ed034's Note - before the injuries hit we were in a good position and looked like we could push into the top two. Yes billy was an arse, but you cannot deny we looked good. Like all teams we had the odd bad result, but we also had good ones. We looked guaranteed playoffs and possibly more. No team, not even man city, could have handled our injury crisis.

Injuries did not cost us promotion, one person cost us a play off place. It was always play offs at best and you need luck in them

Why do some Forest fans still think we could have got promoted, when all the evidence indicates that person was hell bent on destroying the season.

A good end to a poor season on and off the pitch.

Richard46

{Ed034's Note - disagree Richard. Without the injuries his head wouldn't have gone

We are in a mess because we have constantly chopped and changed the manager, twenty manager in twenty one seasons.

We are in a mess because we have spent millions of pounds on poor to average players.

This instability has never allowed us to build and money is not the answer, Sean Dyche only spent £450,000. 00.

Along with poor planning, poor marketing and generally shambolic running of the club off the field, to add to our woes we are shackled with some of the most unrealistic, rose tinted set of fans a club wish for.

Can we have no more mention of "we all know who", references to the past, etc, etc. We need to concentrate on the present. In a nutshell consolidation, steady build, lower expectations and get behind the manager, players and chairman.

For once a united front. Also please let not resort to sniping at the other two clubs. We are bigger and better on every front.

Billy Davies has been and gone, twice, yet on this site we still talk about what he may have not done.

One thing is certain, Steve McClaren is a good coach and Billy Davies, whether think he is or isn't good, is nothing but trouble.

Derby have finally recovered from the damage he did last time, how long will it take for us to recover from his two ultimately destructive failures.

Richard46

{Ed034's Note - Derbys downfall had nothing to do with Davies. He got them promoted and there for made them a huge amount of money. He was then sacked not long after. They should have handled that money better.
You clearly have a bee in your bonnet about Davies, that's fine but what's the point in bringing up mcclaren?? There isn't any.
You put you'll drop it and go 'psycho' psycho!' and then carry on haha
