Thoughts On The Next Nottingham Forest Manager

[wassy04]

What happens if this manager is doing poor by October? Very tough start for a championship novice

I suppose it will depend on how we are playing.
If we are playing well but not getting the run of the ball with results I would imagine he should be fine.
If we are playing poorly and getting thumped then the writing will be on the wall; there is no way that a side containing the players we have now should not be able to hold its own.
An indifferent start is not always a major handicap; I can vividly remember Frank Clarke's team, containing Stan, not getting going until November and still getting promoted.
The Championship novice bit, together with it being the hardest league out there is a myth; it is no harder or easier to win than any other league, and there are very rarely any hard luck stories.
The emphasis should be on the football; if the new guy knows football he will do well; if he doesnt, why the hell are we hiring him?

It’s difficult because there are around 18 teams legitimately thinking they could get playoffs and as such spend hard with such a big reward if it happens. Plus expectant fans desperate to go play with the big boys. So yeah actually I think it’s one of if by the most difficult league around.

Look at the prem, there’s some bang average teams easily finishing mid table.
