Fair enough. Dane gets to make his 1st choice. We'll see how he (Cooper) gets on.
I was looking at the u23s thread. When Forest marry the Academy/u23s to the 1st team, Forest will walk the Championship. We've had the likes of Cohen and now Reid (very impressed with the way he talks about game and the style of football the u23s are playing), managing the u23s and making progressive strides.
Perhaps this 'new' approach to successor planning will appoint 'coaches' who understand the Forest way and that we're now building 'from' the Academy. And any incumbent needs to wrap their head around that in terms of developing youth and style of play so get more of that in the 1st Team. As opposed to going out and wasting millions on journey men mercenaries.
'The Forest Way.'
SA.
It would be nice if, at some point, we are in a position to promote the U23 manager to the First Team set up with the long term aim of becoming 1st Team 'Coach' in the future and bring in some of our retiring players to the Development squads and keep the 'Forest Way' production line rolling for management too!
