Stability at any club can only be achieved if they bring a new rule into play:
No club should be allowed to change their manager (unless the manager dies) until a season has finished
At least, in this league, you'd get 46 games to prove it

Adding to that if he walks away, his assistant takes over. No new manager can be put in place until the season is over

I really do despair of some Forest fan's especially you Sutton. You should take on board the title of this article and TRY to think more , that way you might not look quite so STUPID.

I just hope that no one decides to boo today, or sing SODs name. Now that would be STUPID, and EMBARRASSING.

RFB - not sure if your dig at Sutton is tongue in cheek or not. He has been trying to make a valid point.
In our case I think the change was inevitable. Many seem to have used the Leeds second half display to gloss over a myriad of inadequacies. We have been poor more often than not and do sit a point off the play-offs. However, we are also only three points off 13th position.
Stability was ensured in the summer by our wholly generous and involved owners. Anything more at present is a massive bonus.

That is the daftest thing I've ever heard webbo! You telling me a scenario where the manager loses the dressing room and loses 7 or 8 on the bounce but hangs on for some kinda pay off should be maintained under rules until the seasons end??? Footballs a high cost business these days and like any business owner if there shelling out millions in operating costs they have every right to make a change if they feel its within the clubs best interest! That's life so no pie in the sky nice guy rules will ever change that. SOD was very unlucky to lose his job but he's in a very wll paid job and will get employment elsewhere but he knows the game as he benefitted himself at his mate cotteril's expensive only this year

Yeah it's really stupid to look at facts rather ideals. Facts are facts mate.

You want to win games, promotion, trophies depending on your status and position in the football pyramid. You get nothing for employing a manager longer than other clubs. Although to listen to some you'd think employing a manager longest is the most important thing.

Hi Len
Ok... see your point... the trouble is that football is a game now run by money. Fergisson would not be ManU manager if he had started his tenure this season with the results he had back then. Saying that, it's the money that runs the game now.
If getting rid of managers is going to be commonplace for a club like ours then I'd worry. Sooner or later, if we don't go up, we won't attract a decent name.
I didn't want McCleish. I bet 99% of fans didn't.
Let's hope it works out because if it doesn't before May then we will be in a mess

According to "This Is Nottm" website we're being linked to Barry Bannan a Villa midfielder,like we need another one and not a winger or a central defender/left back. Where was Harding for their first goal?
Anybody seen Bannan play, or is this agent talk?
