Does not mean however I would want them all to manage us.
We have been down this road so many times PSP. I truly hope that this season is ours and MONs, it would be incredible.
I have decided that you are right, if only for past achievements the manager deserved time and respect.I promise I will not at the first run of bad results jump on the MON out bandwagon, but I do fear that a lot of fans will. Really really hope that the club gets this transfer window right for everyone’s sake.
when the 3 names being banded about today for Boro i think (or some other Champ club) was Micky Melon, Johnathan Woodgate and Thierry Henry i really think we should count our blessings.
just to clarify i never intimated or even thought about TF being our manager at anytime and really relatively few ex Forest players, the facts prove that M o N is the best by a country mile.
Also TF was the new kid on the block in 1978, M o N had already been at the club 7 years, and had been at the club 3 and half years before Cloughie, who had been at the club 18 months and not really going anywhere or winning anything and mid table mediocrity until Peter Taylor arrived, this fella really could see things clearly, July 1976 Peter Taylor arrived at Forest but i don't remember but i do remember the hot summer and drought ... we were in the New Forest ... Abba were in the charts with Waterloo and i was sitting on a loo singing Portaloo couldn't do a poo if i wanted to!
The only New Forest i am into now is having someone who knows how it is done, M o N and John Roberston were on the transfer list when Cloughie arrived, it really nearly never happened back then, Cloughie and Taylor got Forest into the top division on the lowest ever points tally for 3rd place.
I think M o N is really the only 1 who really learned how it was done and replicated the success on a pretty huge scale, he had a mediocre manager before Cloughie and wanted out, Cloughie was only average until Peter Taylor, M o N was watching and learning
Enjoy the history and live it my friends, i love it and just remember the New Forest isn't everything it is cracked up to be!
