Thoughts On The Next Nottingham Forest Manager

[Strawberry Avenger]

Actions certainly do speak louder than words. What happens on the pitch is what’s important, not what a coach says or doesn’t say.

Love to read a more grounded POV in times of optimism. Keeps the likes of myself grounded too. Both this & the point about the new structure are bang on.

I've been a big champion of having an old school setup, where the manager is more influential (esp with transfers), because I couldn't see the "coach" model doing anything but destroy us in the long term with the likes of Vrentzos, Modesto and Anigo running the show and using their methods. Same as with Pedro under Fazza, these folk have absolutely no clue about the league, what's required for success, or how to operate healthily in the Championship in general.

Now Murphy's here though, someone who knows all that & has successful experience implementing it, I'm way more open to it.

Kudos to EM for seeing what changes needed to be made, and making them.

EM was 'big enough' to admit that things needed to change.  And made them.

SA.
