What on earth is Fawaz saying to them to put them off?
Do you want to be manager of Nottingham Forest manager?

hehe

Something is seriously wrong. Fawaz is going to realise we are a money pit soon and disappear.

It sounds like he is getting like Vincent Tan if the rumours of telling managers who to play and forcing players on the club are correct.


I see Psycho has turned us down too... would have loved him here, even just to hear the 30 minute chants of 'PSYCHO PSYCHO' would have taken me back to being a kid hehe!

Halford hehe
Bob Rosario?
Jason Lee?
Pierre Van Hooijdonk?

I just think of so many out of work managers that I wouldnt want that after Zola/Hoddle/Pearce etc turn the job down, we will end up with

Paul Ince
Owen Coyle
Paul Sturrock
Avram Grant
Dave Jones

My biggest worry right now is that Fawaz will just sell-up and leave us in a bigger mess. He has tweeted this morning that he doesn't interfere with team selection and so on.

He can't just sell up though. Who would want to buy it?
He can't just walk away either I would be sure off. Well almost sure.

Marcus Tudgay's gone back to the CG, Gary Brazil saying that another loan out might be a possibility.

Gary Johnson says that he has a couple of irons in the fire for today (loan deadline day).

Forest could yet keep us up this season.

It was said slightly tongue in cheek wink

I see Fawaz has said that he'll write a clause into a managers contract stating he won't intefere in team selection, with compensation if he does....

I hope Fawaz doesn't rush into making somebody manager & making the wrong decision yet again.
He may aswel forget about this season & concentrate on the next one & this will give him time to appoint the "right" manager. Who knows, by the end of the season there could be some half decent managers out of jobs.

Interesting from another website related to Forest

"Got this from facebook.

Nottingham Forest - News & Transfer Rumours



Hi fellow Forest fans and fans of opposing teams who are revelling in our present issues.

I wanted to offer up the truth about what has happened over the last 6-8 weeks which has led us to this horrible position we find ourselves in (and I am not talking about being just 2 points off the playoffs).


About 8 weeks ago, Billy put a list of players together for loans. To say they were unrealistic targets is a very large understatement. One name on the list was Javier Hernandez of Manchester United. Another was Lee Cattermole. That should give you an indication of how ridiculous the list was. True to his word, Fawaz approached no less than 12 clubs enquiring about players and not a single club gave permission to speak to the players' representatives. As results began to slip, Billy was asked what was going wrong and he repeatedly stated to Fawaz that if he had been successful with those players, we would be challenging for 2nd place. In summary, he blamed the lot on Fawaz. The atmosphere between the 2 became really difficult and Fawaz took advice from external sources on who might be available for loan so he could offer the info to Billy and find a solution. Billy found out and went mental. At this point, he told Fawaz that he was manager and he decided who came in and who was played. He then played Reid despite being asked not to risk him and he got injured again and Billy dropped Abdoun and Djebbour who Fawaz had offered as a response to the question: "If you have a better idea who should play, tell me."

This was all being kept under wraps until Billy leaked the information to Abdoun and Djebbour who then shared it with the rest of the squad during the post-match review of the loss to Barnsley. Cox got the hump over the fact that most of the squad felt Djebbour and Henderson should be playing up front ahead of him and he took a swing at Abdoun. Tensions have been high in the squad ever since.

Billy broke the trust between him and Fawaz. Fawaz insisted he played Abdoun and Djebbour in the game against Derby and Billy refused. Regardless of the result, Billy was going. Fawaz's final act was to ask Billy to leave with dignity, saying goodbye to the fans, the players and the staff and Billy refused.

The dressing room dynamic has shifted. What was once our most powerful assets (togetherness) has disappeared. We can recapture some dignity and perhaps some much needed points if we bring in someone who can galvanise the squad again. We need a man manager, not a tactician. In all honesty, in my humble opinion, we need Malky Mackay who did a very similar thing at Cardiff when there was a fall out over wage disparity amongst the squad when Bellamy came in.

Anyway, I thought you all deserved to know the truth. As always, I share the information with those who want to hear it. To those who may want to stir and cause trouble, please do not do it on this thread. I don't think my health (both mental and physical) could deal with unnecessary foolishness.

Anyway, I will attempt to answer any questions I can if you have any."

Yeah read that when it went online, it does all match with the times etc but I doubt we'll ever know the truth.

There is something funny with the Algerians though, they never seemed to get a decent game. The Derby game was crying out for them to spice things up abit.
