Sorry, Alf. If you're saying The Coach has no or input that doesn't make sense. Whether he or even the other parts of the recruitment team or even Marinakis himself have the ultimate say depends. You can't force players to sign for peanuts at gun point.
And the recruitment you've often talked about in terms of finding the Grabbasn before they cost Grabbans is a work in progress (and has unearthed some gems already this year...) and to get strike rate of that 'Danish' club mentioned in the article? Forest are at least another two years away from getting close to that.
The Transfer team of The Coach and 'The Others' has only been together less than a year?
We can ask for the improbable though. One clubs Gary Birtles is another club's Gary Birtles.
But, Alf, if you said Recruitment could learn some lessons from the results to Wednesday, Reading x2, Birmingham, Boro and Millwall? I'd agree with you.
And the Millwall result was defeating. I hope recruitment learns from it, starting this Summer. You need more physical options as back up DCM, to stamp authority at ACM and to 'Over 'ere my san. On me 'had' type striker.
Forest don't have the depth, are lightweight or don't have that option(S) in the aforementioned areas. And 16 results have gone begging against the teams mentioned above. There's your auto spot.
They all have the type of striker Forest have struggled against. So, if someone says to me that the recruitment team will have to learn lessons from this season and can do better. I'd agree. Sure they can. If they are starting to learn that the Championship is a pitched 46 game battle...then Millwall would have made it indelibly clear. Robust players who can play a bit.
Even Billy Davies recognised you needed a variety of striker and depth of striker to get out the Championship due to 'burn out.' Our recruitment team have yet to learn that lesson and the 'particular' kind of party susan approach to strikers to swiss army knife the opposition. One senior striker for most of the season? *looks at the sky.
That said, even he got 'done' by the lack of depth at DCM with both Moussi and McKenna being unfit at roughly the same time. Lack of depth is a historical problem due to a lack of consistency at the top of the club, recruitment and manager.
Not ready to jump off a viaduct just yet. Forest are level on points with Brentford...and 5 points clear of Bristol City. Hopefully that buys Forest time to get Sow and Silva back.
