I never really believed TF was truly happy in the garibaldi, but as an ex player who did what he did of course he gets my upmost respect. So does MON and all of the MM.

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.

I honestly think that Trevor Francis was terrified of Cloughie. From the moment he first arrived as the first 1m pound footballer and Cloughie told him to put the kettle on and make the tea for all the players. We were the best team in Europe at the time and he stayed with us for only about 18 months I think.

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!

been told plans for stand need to be resubmitted shouldnt be a long term problem though. work could take 18 months.

MON wants to get rid of 10 players plus. feels colback will upset the wage structure.

Colback not looking good then unless he is prepared to take a substantial drop in wages.

[stirred]

Disappointing, but we shouldn’t blow apart the wage structure. Why should he get paid more than our player of the year? Don’t want other players feeling resentful about how much others are getting.

I thought the usual way around that was to pay the player an enhanced signing on fee in return for a modest weekly wage. 

It may be that he feels he needs to use his budget elsewhere.

[ThePromisedLand]

Sounding ominous - please tell MoN that Yates is not the answer!

[Tricky]

I personally think Colback did enough last season to attract one or two Premier League sides to come sniffing. Middlesborough have also been mentioned too and given how much he loves the North East, I think it is safe to say we won't be seeing him in the famous Garibaldi come next season.

[ThePromisedLand]

Well if we can’t afford him sure as hell Boro can’t.

odowda praising MON in the media


"I think that you are going to get that when results are not going your way. But he was, in my eyes, a very good manager
I felt that Martin’s man-management skills were very good and he probably got the best out of me."

[Tricky]

According to Wikipedia..........................Did you know that the two Championship playoff finalists often agree that the losing side will take all of the matchday gate receipts to soften the financial blow of not going up?  :cool:
