Francois Modesto

I agree Mark, I think they have done a good job too.

Looking back at the so called S**t signings none of them can be contributed to Modesto in my opinion.

Pantilimon, Clough, Cummings, Mckay, Murphy etc nothing to do with Modesto, he wasn't even at the club.

Carvalho, Dias, Goncalves, Mir, Bonatini etc are all Mendes related, perhaps not all Menses clients but he is linked to their agents. so also nothing to do with Modesto.

The only one of Modesto's signings I would question is Bostock but that is no great loss.

Bostock sounded promising 'on paper.'

But the game isn't played on paper.  Same with the rest of them.

A lot of those names haven't payed off at all.  11 players.  That's a poor hit rate.  Well 10.

Well, minus one, Murphy's goals kept Forest up in Warburton season.  Without them, Forest would have been down and out.

We'll not mention 'snow gate.'

Hopefully scattergun recruitment is a thing of the past, it was a means to an end, to buy Forest time to get a 'professional' team in place.  'Crisis' Management, if you well.

The general direction is up and forwards.  Even the recent 7 game debacle has to be put in the context of a wider picture.

January will tell us more about the new team's recruitment powers.
