Just wish he would sometimes be a little more considered in his decisions, put the right people in place to run the club for him and let them get on with their jobs.

Not every owner is as bad as Wray/Scholar or Fawaz.

No of course he is not perfect but then again who is? But his passion is second too none, his determination and fierce drive to be a winner and to be the best there is is admirable. This is why we see a lot of chopping and changing, failure will not be tolerated, if EM gives you a job then you have to deliver it's as simple as that.

Personally I wouldn't change him for anyone. I am loving this ride he is taking us on, it's a great journey and long may it continue.
Not everyone will agree with me of course but you should be careful what you wish for. Would you like us to go back to the Irving Scholar, Mark Arthur and Fawaz days?

We were one breath from death when EM came in, now we are currently in the PL and on a solid financial footing with EM converting tens of millions of debt into equity with no fuss and no publicity, he just gets it done nice and quietly.

I think it's been a great ride and it's certainly never boring that's for sure. Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the ride that EM is taken us on, embrace it, there will be some ups and downs but we have never had it this good in the last 20 years, we shouldn't  lose sight of that.

No one will ever change EM, it's in his DNA to be a ruthless winner at all costs. Enjoy him for what he is, his heart is in the right place and he means well. He loves Nottingham Forest Football Club, we all do, he's one of us.

That's a lot easier said than done! Do you not think, every time he has appointed someone, that he hopes they can successfully run the club? 

I see it as him trying to find that right person....

They're the right person until they make one mistake, he's going to be searching for a while if that's his criteria. 

If you keep failing to find someone, at what point do you need to change your approach?

If its the Gary Brazil thing you are alluding to I agree. Wonder if Sniffer knows something else by writing this today too? Only my hunch but think Sunday is Cooper’s last game.

Seriously, how do you know they have made 1 mistake? It's never that simple either, often subjective rather than a definite mistake or not. Might even be down to how they get along. Maybe all these people involved in English/British football are not as good as made out - EM is trying to get experience in the league to help but perhaps the pool is full of shysters or people simply not good enough? Looking and hearing them, it wouldn't surprise me if they're rubbish. There are 2 worlds in this country that seem to be full of very successful (as in the keep getting senior roles) 'professionals' that really do seem to flatter to deceive.....public 'servants' and football executives.

SC just given us our first season back in the premier League after 23 years. Despite currently being in the bottom three I pray that we can retain our PL status next season. I think he deserves it.

We were one breath from relegation when SC came in, now we are currently in the PL and on a solid footing with an improving squad on paper.

Just changed a few things above to show how the exact same argument can be applied to Steve Cooper too. What do you think?
