Thoughts On The Next Nottingham Forest Manager

[wassy04]

This is NOT itk info but just my personal opinion.

If Steve Cooper leaves the club my choice to replace him would be Nuno Santo.

In terms of fitting our squad, he would definitely fit the bill. We’ve spent all summer recruiting for a 532 and he’s done really well in the league with a similar sized club. I’d happily have him here.

He had a pretty rough time of it at Spurs and his Wolves team were incredibly dull. Plus they steadily got worse and wasn't able to work out how to make them more creative. He certainly did a good job with their defence.

Also, binned off our record signing on loan...

It makes sense over some if not all of the other names being mentioned.

Personally I thought he did a superb job at Wolves.

Think Nuno works if he can call his mate Mendes and has freedom to bring in some top notch players. Trouble is we have already spent the money.

If we assume the aim of the game is survival and you had to pick one name of those we are listed above then I would choose Dyche without a doubt.

Unfortunately I fear we may be back to the bad old days of short term fixes and chucking money at the problem.
However I am sure there are managers out there who can build a team for the future, the trick is finding the next Graham Potter. Kjetil Knutsen is the one most frequently mentioned who fits that bill.

Dyche is 100% a pragmatic, short term fix. He’d likely keep us up, based on his past record. He’d certainly make us more organised defensively. But, he’s unlikely to help us kick on after that. I’m sure he’d love the job if he was given the chance though.

He's just what we need right now. He's spent his time at our end of the table and has done the hard prem yards with little relative investment from his owners. With the improved backing he might expect to receive from our owners his Forest team may be more expansive than his Burnley side, who knows? And if he cant save us then he has done time in the championship too, which is a bonus. He's not a sexy choice I admit but he's ticking a lot of boxes for me. Then add in the fact that there's also a Forest connection with him, Woan and Stone and it makes even more sense. We've seen how a tight fit between the players, coaches, fans and the club can pay dividends.

I reckon if he came in he'd be signing a striker who can fight and head it in the box, like a Chris Wood or Jay Rodriguez. And he'd make sure that Brennan was sticking crosses into them too. And he'd eventually get his hands on Wozza, who he's wanted for about 3 years now!

Yes there is a case for Dyche too besides Nuno.

Dyche I think has also seen most if not all of our games this season which would be a big plus for him I think. Kind of gives him a head start over other possible candidates.

Lets not forget he didnt just keep Burnley up, he got them into european places. 

Obviously is backroom staff makes it a rather romantic choice for those of us over 35 who remember those halycon days of having 2 quality wingers!

[HebdenRed]

Dyche for me if and when it becomes a decision.

We won’t lack effort under him.

He knows the prem, and the local area.

Plus he would bring woany and Steve stone as part of his back room team - important to try and keep the connection with the fan base.

Has close links to psycho as well so maybe SP as coach similar to his West Ham role? But also wonder if dyche would want to avoid us beating in mind what Pearce said on talksport this morning ?

All conjecture but good debate

Off topic but did those 2 play together? Thought Woany was a bit before Stone?
We didnt always have quality wingers even then. Gary Crosby anyone, did some pretty step overs but he was bloody useless!

Give Coops more time. Kind of hinted at players being brought into the club that weren’t SC’s choice

How's the weather? Dull and boring.

Looks like the new manager will also have to work with a completely different set of staff behind the scenes too. Dane, Syrianos and other recruitment staff could be leaving as well. Charnsley might take over and will suggest the new manager.

I can’t believe everything is being completely ripped up this early on. The instability is crazy.
