Does anyone know

To be fair there were some bolton fans that were saying Dougie was tactically clueless when he was appointed. He started off well but ended up being a disaster, he would have taken them down in my opinion and Lennon has done a better job with the same limited resources.

Best thing for forest would be for fawaz to throw his toys out the pram again and sack freedman. The problem with that is, while ever fawaz is determined to interfere in first team affairs and transfer policy, no reputable manager will work for him.

In many ways, that's why I can see Dougie staying for the long haul, because he's so nice he probably has no problem with fawaz picking the team if he wants to

Have to agree with Len. Its a total farce. Freedman has had all the preseason friendlies to get to grips with the likes of Fox and Wilson and only now has woken up to, what we have all known for ages, they are crap.

Nigel Pearson is currently out of work, how long be fore his name is linked with us ??

It's clear we need a Leader on the pitch, this guy is not my favourite person but would really give us what we are lacking, problem is 10k per week is pr obably spending money to him, Joey Barton, currently bout of work, would he be worth a shout ?? To put this into context Jamie Ward was not my favourite either, but I believe his attitude will win me and a lot of others over.

We have only played 2 games! We were ok against Brighton. Dunno what DF was doing last night and it wasn't great. Although we almost got ourselves out of it. But being knocked out in the first round doesn't mean our season is a shambles!

I am not saying we are heading for a great season but let's at least wait a bit longer before going into meltdown!

Apparently we've cocked up that left backs international clearance

I would take him right now. He is a quality manager and won't be out of work long. He was ambushed by the media at Fester IMO. Don't think he would want to work under Fawaz though.

Pearson is exactly what you guys need but if you appointed him it would last for 2 weeks at best. He won't work under someone like Fawaz, he has to be completely hands on and controlling every aspect of team selection, transfer policy and recruitment etc.

I would think he will be angling for another shot at the Prem too, likely with Sunderland when that job becomes available.

The problem for forest is freedman and Pearce represent the kind of managers the club can realistically get with Fawaz running it......

Also, Pearson does have an element of billy Davis about him. He wasn't really ambushed by the media at Leicester, he's just incredibly difficult to interview and lashes out when under pressure.

I think they all piled on when he started to get a bit tetchy with them and tried to pile on the pressure. Think the club could've supported him more maybe or were they courting Ranieri a while ago?.
Agree he would not like the way Fawaz does things and also agree that Fawaz's ways will be well known within football circles and not many managers will fancy working for him and have their reputations tarnished!
