I don't get this Dinosaur bullshit that I have seen mentioned on Social Media.
Me neither.
He's a red legend.
But he got the job on the back of his glittering array of achievements. (Beat that, Mr. Walk Out.)
His tactical strategy has been multi-dimensional compared to previous incumbents.
Forest are tougher, more robust from the monsters at the back to the reforged DCM.
With the January business? Forest have two rock 'ard chewy mint CHs that are £6 million a piece. Yates? A Keane/Cohen player Shaping up to £10 million. And who played him? MoN.
Ie. He believes in youth. So he's forward thinking and progressive. See Beno Beast who is a MoN 'project.' He finds gems and develops them. He can spot talent.
Forest are working harder, more cohesive, more direct, more forward, more expansive and progressive. Far more energy and excitement to their play. The players are trying harder and getting in defenders faces. Some of the tackles from our CHs have been bone crunchingly wincing, cleaning out players. But generally in a disciplines way. They aint arguing anymore. They are far more cute and disciplined about their shape. They get back into that quicker and squeeze the life out the opposition. They get it in the box. They put defences and teams under pressure instead of standing off waiting for eg. Preston or Brentford to play it out from the back.
The last time we had a voodoo was Donny. And it was Billy Davies that sorted that lot out. MoN did the same to Brentford. Nailed them.
They've dry-humped WBA, Brentford and Preston with different formations aka a Plan B, Plan C...etc.
Much more 'Get in there, that's what I pay you for.'
More to come...

"Despite some of the absolute pathetic rhetoric below (much of it pointless e.g. his politics) one overriding fact remains. Brian Clough took a pretty poor 2nd Division team, and with very few changes, transformed it's players into 1st Division Champions - later again emulated at Forest. You cannot achieve this through luck. It was achieved not with an open cheque book (like so many clubs these days) but rather through a management style that instilled confidence, enthusiasm, fairness and togetherness. Clough was a remarkable leader. Often outspoken some may say. Not really. He just didn't stand for any bullshit - full stop; and spoke from the heart about his principles and what he felt was right. Not full of cliches taught by some PR company to appease the cameras. The word LEGEND has never been more apt; he demonstrated a unique ability that I haven't seen emulated by anyone else since."
I see confidence, enthusiasm, fairness and togetherness has been learned from the Master himself. I see those seeds planted in this 'new' Forest.

Regardless of promotion or not we simply have to stick with MON. He was given a mammoth task to save a season derailed by a sulky manager (allegedly) poor refereeing and poor discipline (definitely)
Surely the owner will see we now, finally, have a team starting to play as a team and looks to be enjoying it too.
It has been a long time coming but slowly the hard work obviously done off the pitch is now starting to show on it.
I would be hugely disappointed if the current management team are not here the beginning of next season.

100%.
They will not sell 21k/22k season tickets by getting rid of MoN/RK in the summer.

I can never go to 100% because things happen, Tails could come out of a press conference, drop his pencil, the tea lady could slip on it, spilling hot coffee on Roy's groin area causing him to lose his temper & lash out at the wall with his fist, just as Vrentzos is walking by, inadvertently striking him & knocking him out, leading to his instant dismissal, but pencil dropping accidents aside I'd say there's a 99% chance MOK will be here at the start of next season.
Thats a bit far fetched. I bet Tails uses his laptop.

Nicky Shorey. The one that got away and our promotion chances too.
We were on fire with him. We lost him. Lost our balance. Lost our way.
Should have gone up that season.
WBA were over rated...as we battered them at their place.

SA. Karanka was an upgrade on Warburton, and MON is an upgrade on Karanka.
MON will get the job done, very clever manager and has the backing of the board

I hope all the soft tarts who slagged MON off when he arrived are taking a good, hard look at themselves this morning.
An absolute perfect fit for the club. Long may he reign.

Not to mention Osborn and Watson.
Can we ALL unite behind MON, Roy and The Team.
United we are stronger. The fans were brilliant last night, lets at least try and make it like that for every visiting team.
