Your Thoughts On The Current Nottingham Forest Manager

[PsychoStooge]

I'm sick of us sacking managers every 6-7-8 months, fans play a big role in that then wonder why we can't generate any momentum, it's because we haven't given any manager enough time since Billy Davies about 10 years ago. A lot of people are so desperate for instant gratification that they don't think of the consequences.

That's why I wouldn't have appointed this manager, or spent what we did, how we did. It was a high risk strategy, with a high risk of continuing the managerial merry-go-round.

This is fairly typical new owner stuff though, sack the sitting manager & bring in an "iconic" name & throw a few quid at it thinking it's just all that easy, think McLiesh replacing O'Driscoll, or Brum sacking Rowett & bringing in Zola. Reality is often much harder though & often forces a rethink.

Yeah hindsight is 20:20 though, you could use that argument if any manager had started this way. 

Out of interest who would you have hired?

If I was owner I'd have appointed a Warburton type manager, built the foundations & then worried about throwing money at it once we'd done the basics & were ready to kick on.

We're currently not doing the basics right & we have to get back to our A, B, C's because if you don't get the basics right it's very hard to get anything else right.

Nice sentiment but it wouldn't have washed with our fans, don't forget we did have Warburton and plenty of people were calling for his head by mid-December. 

I agree for what it's worth, like I said too many want instant gratification that's why no manager gets time to instil the basics, it's also why I hope Marinakis ignores the growing calls for Karanka to be sacked.
