Thoughts On The Next Nottingham Forest Manager

[Strawberry Avenger]

Two years ago today we lined up as:

Stojkovic
Cash (RB)
Lichaj (LB)
Hobbs
Mills (sent off)
Lam
Kasami
Osborn
Pereira (CM)
Dumitru
Bendtner

Anyone criticising the spend by Aitor need only look at the above to realise the investment needed just to stand still.

True.

So true.

Forest's £20 million net sounds a lot.  

But THAT team is where we came from.  I'm sure our Greek owners think they've invested a lot.  But, in the scheme of the last 3 years?  'Only' about £8 million a year.  'Stand still.'

They'll need to give Aitor another Window to take us 'over the top.'

He's done well enough in the little time he's had.

(Count last year if you will, a relegation threatened sound with an emergency window to save it.)

This year?  Investment takes us from top of the bottom 8 to bottom of the top 8-10.

We've by-passed most of the mid-table.

But to secure the top 6 we need another 3-4 players minimum.  We're lightweight in a few areas with no match winning or changing options.

SA.
