would love to hear Forest and Derby fans views on this.......
Here you go Forest fans, a couple of links you really need to see
http://www.bbc.co.uk/lancashire/content/articles/2006/05/31/pne_davies_split_club.shtml
"The row between PNE manager Billy Davies and his chairman shows no sign of abating" 2006
http://www.bbc.co.uk/derby/content/articles/2007/11/26/davies_departure_2007_feature.shtml
"The club has announced the manager will be standing down following a meeting with chairman Adam Pearson, hastily arranged after Davies claimed in an interview following Saturday's Chelsea defeat that he hadn't seen the chairman in three weeks."
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/13644012
""There was always an uneasy truce between Doughty and Davies. Forest ran out of patience with him after they failed to get promotion again. And it was [also] a case of them feeling, perhaps, that they did not need so much turbulence."
Who is the common denominator here? Is it the clubs or is it Billy
This isn't meant as a WUM, honestly, but..

OK I'll play your game Rammy!
The common denominator tuppy is SIZE, now this is a concept that as a Derby Tup you should be familiar with!
PNE=DERBY COUNTY[worst team in EPL HISTORY]=small=Billy leaves and doesn't come back.
NOTTINGHAM FOREST FC [ Twice European Champions, Twice English League Champions, FA Cup winners and runners up, twice semi finalist's, Three times League Cup Winners etc,etc]=BIG CLUB=The mighty wee Scotsman returns!
Chew it over and then have a sleep.

Not as empty as your Trophy Cabinet eh Mojac?
Or is it just a wonky shelf?

RFB - in deference to Nigel's achievements they have now renamed Derby's Trophy Cabinet. It's now called A Cabinet.

Hmmm which other manager, in Derby & Forests history, famously didn't get on with his chairmen?

David MacGoldrick has scored, guess after a mistake from Wes Morgan! Ipswich 1-0 Leicester!

Quote of the week:
"Derby striker Conor Sammon misses a late penalty as Crystal Palace keep up the pressure at the top of the Championship"
What is wrong with that statement?
answer on a postcard to Nigel Clough
I wonder what Tuesday's Statement will be :
"Derby mis-fit Conor Sammon misses again and again as Cardiff keep up the pressure at the top of the Championship" ?
Don't worry we'll try and beat Ipswich for you
