Your Thoughts On The Current Nottingham Forest Manager

[wassy04]

Thats the bit Im unashamedly on the fence about.

With hindsight we should have pulled the trigger back in June.

So where we are now do we:

Give CH the season regardless. Be honest we arent going up, he is out of contract at the end of this season and highly unlikely to get a new one. So is there a point in persisting?
Let CH steady the ship but bring in a new manager in January? Again what does that achieve?
Bring in some one now? But they inherit a new team under huge pressure, if they dont start to turn things around there will be inevitable calls for them to go after just a few months.

I genuinely dont know.

I do. We let CH have a decent run of games with a stable defence (Wozza & Mckenna and a RB at RB and a LB who isnt Bong at LB). We get Lolley fit and back in the side and get Garner up to match fitness. We stick with Taylor and tell him he's our no1 striker. We then build the side around that lot with Zinc & Brennan. The rest of the spots are shared around the other squad members as they develop. Only then will we see what CH can do with the side. It will be his first chance since he came here to play an alternative formation, and to play with pace in the side. If it's still looking dire at Christmas then we give him the chop, if its looking average or better then we stick with him until the end of the season.

Basically we build a stable side under a manager who feels stable in his job.

Yes this makes sense, hopefully we pull away a little from relegation and then we can reassess at christmas. If CH somehow does enough to earn a new deal then that implies we've had a more enjoyable season, if not he goes at the end and someone else can at least mould the squad a little more to his liking.

You change now, unless the new manager absolutely crushes it, you end up in a situation at the end of the season where the newer manager has a similar record to that of CH and is under pressure going into the summer, bad start and the cycle repeats.
