Next Forest Manager

[Alf Garnett]

So the manager gets his marching orders at Forest and a new vacancy has arisen. Who do you want and anyone brave enough to predict who the club will actually get?

[Number 9.1]

I think you can rule out Clough; I understand that his situation at Burton is very much to his liking in a work/life sense (I don't think he even draws a wage) and he's said in the past that he's not interested in the pressures of management at a high(ish, in this case) level.

Stuart Pearce or Roy Keane for me. Failing those two, Martin O'Neil (Never gonna happen I know)

[dms41853]

i would want pearce keane davies or curbishley

knowing our luck it will be dowie or pardew

[heja]

knowing your luck it will be ince

keane would hopefully bring some passion back and get them giving 110%

[Rich]

Intresting, there isnt an obvious choice really.

Would Pearce leave his current job?

[leejinman72]

Rich I dont think Pearce will leave his job.

[steanie]

I think Billy Davies will get the job... but would like to see Roy Keane or Alan Curbishley. Or to be honest, someone that shows just a tad more passion than Mr. Calderwood... can't be too difficult!!

[Number 9.1]

Davies is heavily tipped in the NEP.

[Dan]

Roy Keane? Dear god on heaven no.

Here's something i put on another forum about him:

I doubt he'd take the job, but i really hope he is not even taken into consideration.

Keane remains to be arguably the most over-rated manager in the business. He did get Sunderland promoted and he did keep them up, but he did this with more money than we could even hope to offer him. Sunderland were the fourth highest spenders in world football last year and he kept them up by 3 points. He inherited a pretty good side and still spent 3 times more money than anyone else in the league to get them up in the first place.

The man may instill respect (for some reason, the coward) but he's a very disappointing manager, and one i do not want us to appoint.

Davies for me, hes a decent manager at championship level

When i found out that clown had been sacked around 7pm last night that at least brightened up the day

Upshall i bet you re gutted

New manager expected to be announced in next 24-48 hours

Why on earth would i be gutted?

[barthez]

i would like to Alan Curbishley or Roy Keane

but i feel it will be Billy Davis, but i see it as a backward step

whats wrong with davies, hes done well whereever hes been and a proven coach at championship level apart from his prem spell at derby.

this would be a good time for a new coach just as the jan transfer window is opening

[oldman]

if it is a quick appointment then davies, if you wait though you could get Pardew or Dowie !

You do realise how much Keane has spent and how little hes done with it dont you??

[Cardarelli27]

We need a manager in quick so he can reshape in January, my money is on Billy Davies though i would love to see Roberto Martinez from Swansea come in

[NottinghamMatt]

If it's Davies then that could well mean our £2.5m Striker upset (Davies froze him out at the Sheep!) and the keeper who has kept us in touching distance not signed. (Davies didn't think he was good enough at the Sheep)

For me, I'm really not sure, nothing that's out there inspires me and that was the only thing that made me put up with Calderwood (even after Boxing Day)

Forest are looking at Simon Davey who manages to the dingles

Odd choice for me, even the Barnsley fans aren't sold on him. Source?

things got a whole lot more interesting!!!!!

Jewell has just resigned !!!!!!!.......

[sunbeam]

I doubt it will be a young guy. I imagine we'll go for experience. I'm not a big fan of Curbs but he'd do a good job at our level. Davies would be another solid pick.

Of the young ones then I'd be happy with Keane or Ince.
