FLY2 10,108 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I wouldn't have wanted Warnock, but it's worrying to know that he wouldn't have had total control over team selection. I hope Mr Fawaz doesn't want any input. It should be up to the Manager however much cash Fawaz has injected into the club. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 This is what we feared would happen when they got rid of the old committee who were very insular and negative thinking. We missed our best chance of promotion when Billy was here the first time under Nigel Doughty . However we did have Mark Arthur as Chief Exec. What an egotistical character he turned out to be.

Ashley 288 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Re wearing a tie, Glen Hoddle is a smart dresser, as opposed to that other manager forest had, Brian somebody or other Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Just to refresh your memory, Ashley. His name was Mr. Brian Clough. He also won a few things as a Manager, as shown below. It's a pity he didn't retire before his last season when he was in ill health. Derby County First Division (1): 1971–72 Second Division (1): 1968–69 Texaco Cup (1): 1971–72 Watney Cup (1): 1970 Nottingham Forest First Division (1): 1977–78 League Cup (4): 1977–78, 1978–79, 1988–89, 1989–90 Full Members Cup (2): 1988–89, 1991–92 FA Charity Shield (1): 1978 European Cup (2): 1978–79, 1979–80 European Super Cup (1): 1979 Anglo-Scottish Cup (1): 1976–77 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 He was a Forest legend but he's no good as a Manager though, LizzieM. When you see the Managers running around and jumping up and down on the touchline, as their teams are losing once again, you realise you need more than passion. Oh, have you something to tell us regarding Stuart Pearce, LzzieM? (#34/35)... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Hey, stop that! I remember him playing and seen him on the touch line with the U21s. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Well I don't know enough about football really. I've spent too much time listening to my Dad moaning about Notts over the years! He was a very critical man but what he said was usually absolutely right. Not sure about a foreign manager though and I don't think Clough will move again by choice at the moment. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I don't think the Forest fans would welcome Nigel Clough back to the City Ground after his time at Derby County. They would remember the time when Forest had a player on the ground with a bad injury. Instead of putting the ball out, Clough ordered the Derby players to carry on the attack and they went on to score. You don't forget things like that. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,159 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Talking of footballers thighs,only took my wife to Notts co.match once,it was a cup match against spurs late 80s i think,and all she went on about after was the thighs of Hoddle Waddle and the county defender whos name escapes me black lad from the MEADOWS?

FLY2 10,108 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 At least the Sheep lost. It would have been advantageous to win last night with Reading losing. Looks like mid-table mediocrity again. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ashley 288 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Cometh Glenn Hoddle we get back to glory days,nice chap very smart WEARS A TIE. So does a shop window dummy, but more importantly just what has Doodle won as a manager? one play off final, and then within days promptly left Swindon to join Chelsea, In his 6 spells as a manager he left 4 times and was sacked the other 2, his overall win record for all games in charge is only 39% (Davies' record at Forest was 42% and they sacked him twice!) That plus the faith healer business and the fact he hasn't managed a club since 2006 puts me off 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
