In football as a manager you're always working for a fruitcake - no doubt to some Ben Robinson is bonkers, wanting to run his club within its means, refusing to splash out and take a risk. Fawaz is just a different type of fruitcake and there's great opportunity for a new manager in there being no CEO and no structure cos you can make it up to suit your own aims. The problem for Nigel is what happens when new owners come along who want their own guy - as happened to him at Derby, to Rowett at Brum and lots of others. That's the danger period. He could make a good go at stabilising the red dogs but whatever he does they'll still need substantial financial backing to stay afloat and whether Fawaz will wait that long is anyone's guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why go for Clough when it's obvious their immediate aim (next season) is promotion? If they wanted to go down the 'build a club' route, why did they sack Pearce... Or even Montanier? Both of those managers placed a lot of trust in the club's younger players. Bizarre. Fawaz has said Montainier wasn't his choice for manager.

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 You are missing the point that Nigel could/will take him for all his worth. This could be a massive earner on his doorstep. Milk it Nigel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Just imagine Nigel walking into Fawaz's office to begin talks, when his gaze is caught by an oil painting of 'Uncle' Pete, Pops and Fawaz celebrating their European Cup triumph! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Remember what Nigel said about Sam Rush recently? “We didn’t know him but people said be very careful. One even said ‘the ego has landed!’ “That’s what someone within football told us.” You have to wonder what those same people are saying about Fawaz.

Gerry Daly Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I just can't believe Nigel would go there at the moment. I'm sure he would like to have a go at managing Forest, why not, but not working for Fawaz. The club is an absolute shambles and he would be on a hiding to nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 the flip side of the "Nigel would be mad to go there" argument is that of course, no other owner might be mad enough to let Nigel near the job. Nigel's stock isn't very high at the moment, and with whimpering relegation looming, his reputation won't get any better. This could be his only chance to manage them.

unclej Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I hope he goes to Forest. Wont have to listen to his whining on Radio Derby every time he loses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I think he'll go to forest. I'd punt on Burton appointing a young coach who works out OK, even if they go down they maintain their sustainable approach and are still decent in league 1. As for Nigel at Forest, he will keep them up this season, but it'll all end in tears in less than 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdave85 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Looks like he'll be in charge for QPR tomorrow: http://www.nottinghampost.com/nottingham-forest-will-have-to-be-patient-in-their-efforts-to-lure-nigel-clough-to-the-city-ground/story-30091898-detail/story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 all this talk about how he would be "mad to take it" etc is just plain rubbish..... we have all worked for a boss that is a bit of a fool but if they pay you well who cares...? and realistically the Forest job is the biggest job Nigel is ever going to be offered so why not take it..? Unfortunately he is the perfect manager for that job at the moment, he will stabilize them totally.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 It would be quite funny if Nigel just confirms he's in the Burton camp on a game by game basis until forest give up and let brazil take the relegation laurels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB BIGGS Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I remember something similar when Rowett went to Birmingham. Looked a dodgy move at the time but he came out of it smelling of roses! Obviously, with NC, our fans' emotions are raised, depending which side of the Clough fence you're on. I can see why he would take it and also why he wouldn't. I guess there's no "right" answer, only time will tell. Being manager of Burton in the Championship would be a big ask for anyone. Of course, if he goes, I will have to wish him all the worst until he moves Clubs again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BramcoteRam84 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Wish Clough all the best. Did a great job for us in difficult circumstances. He's the right man for Forest in their current predicament. And with him in charge of the red dogs, we don't have to worry about them being genuine competition anytime soon as we all know mid table championship is Nigel's maximum level.

RamNut Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 All depends on whether nigel is ambitious, loyal or burned out. 50:50 But the timing is poor by fawaz. Deliberately missing the transfer window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
