I'm as happy as.....

a brolly Saleman outside the City ground

Nice to hear the small club down the road have gone dutch, can't wait for East midlands today to have subtitles when interviewing him, a win rate of 38% at Boro, a good signing all round.

I can see it now, the away end of the city ground awash with Brolly's, fantastic

Where's wally mi duck?

For anyone who hasn't seen it - this is a classic.

At least if McClaren leaves under a cloud he'll be dry

In all seriousness, I think it's a bigger risk for McClaren than it is for Forest.

He's a manager that's trying to re-build his reputation in his homeland. Look at the reaction from the Villa fans when they heard that Villa were considering McClaren for manager - absolute outrage (although most people would agree that Villa are much bigger than Forest so maybe should be setting their sights higher).

McClaren is not hot property to say the least, and I wonder if Forest is the club to repair his reputation? They've done absolutely nothing for years (other than get relegated to League One and struggle to get back up) and no manager has ever left the City Ground with anything other than ill feeling.

I'm not sure McClaren is going to fare any better than Platt, Megson, Kinnear, Calderwood, Hart etc etc etc.

For every job he's done OK in he's been sacked at another. Just before he got the England job Boro finished 14th in the Premiership and fluked a way to the Uefa Cup Final (they had a magical 10 minutes in games where they were 4-0 down). At that time I could not understand how he got the England job. In fact lets face it, the only reason he got it was Scolari turned us down and then the FA were under pressure to appoint an Englsihman.

He won the League in Holland, which I can't imagine to be that difficult, but flopped at Wolfsburg and was sacked.

Time will tell but I'm delighted with this appointment, I don't rate him at all and I can't see them going up.

That would be relevant if you could remember winning anything!

"That would be relevant if you could remember winning anything!*

Yes I can thanks very much and not that old and we won the FA cup before Clough x2!

YOU'D HAVE TO OVER 127 YEARS OLD AND STILL WAITING to see anything from fester.


Out of other team's supporters why is that you baby-eaters are so infactuated by this appointment?
The intelligent, educated fans know that is a good appointment at this level - malllingfox .
Let it be kiddos - let's just see what happens, shall we?
I hope you're confident of keeping sven before/during next season.

Yeh so we've not won the League Cup 3 times then?

And I was actually there for one of them. The majority of your fans can only remember the joys of finishing 2nd in League 1

Yeah, showing excellent mathematical skills there!



Even if, unlike me, you saw your team win the ultimate prize x2 Our trophies and competitive level after has far surpassed anything you have had. So what are talking about, you deluded fool?

Deluded? If you hadn't quoted me I would have been sure this was adressed to a Forest fan.

Not all of you can have seen you win the 'ultimate prize' yet all of you claim to. So these days I just assume everyone who claims to to be lying.

But go on, tell me about that great day in 2008 when you FINALLY did it
