RadioactiveWaste Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 You'd have thought Pearson could at least get his profile in the game back up by saying he didn't want the forest job. I hope Nigel Clough doesn't go there, because he is the manager they need (not the one they deserve) - but I doubt forest would be patient enough to let him build. He'd keep them up but be sacked within 12 months. However, wed keep losing to them whilst he was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Hope he stays at Burton. He'd do well with them. So long as they didn't demand his head after a couple of defeats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philmycock Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Even Barnsley's manager sees Forest as a step down. Non-league Nige is a shoe-in, no wonder Wardy was keen to go back. Fatwaz: the gift that keeps giving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowett's career was on a upward path, not downwards. I expect he won't go near either Forest or Burton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abu Derby Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 How come Huddersfield Town have three stars on their shirts? It goes without saying that they are a far bigger and better club than Forest, however they have never won the European cup. Is it because they have won the title three times? If so then we can have them as well. European Cup? Phuut! Who needs that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I could be wrong Abu but I think it's to mark being the only club to win the league 3 times in consecutive seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Happens Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 If Clough gets the job I wonder if the forest fans will develop memory loss again and forget they ever called him non league Nigel, just like they have no recollection of spending money or boasting they were the man city of the Midlands.

Rev Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I just can't believe he'd go there under Fawaz. It made sense with a similar ownership group to what he'd worked with here, but not under the long lost Kuwaiti Chuckle Brother. Don't do it Nigel, it won't just won't fly.

Pearl Ram Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Manchester United Premier League / Football League Titles 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2013. Also, Liverpool did it in the 80's so, the reason Huddersfield have 3 stars could be because they were the first to achieve the feat, 1924, 25 and 1926. Arsenal did it in the 30's, interestingly enough with Huddersfield's manager in charge. I love google me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1of4 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Forest only want to talk to non-league Nigel to ask him if he knows any managers with non- league experience who are desperate enough to join them, so the club can be prepared for when they end up there.

I Am Sheep Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 If Nige goes to Forest then I reckon they'll get relegated. If Rowett then goes to Burton, they'll survive comfortably in mid-table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I'd be rubbish as a chairman, admittedly. I mean, imagine being chairman, having a vision for the club and Nigel Pearson turning around asking for your full support to sign players like Vydra and Anya who you know full well simply don't fit the profile. Fawaz backed his manager to sign three players on ridiculous wages. He either lets them and is later blasted for allowing such reckless spending, or blocks them and gets called up for interfering. Part of me feels sorry for him if put in such a situation. I obviously would never have hired Pearson. But going back to 2014/15, I would have told Mcclaren 'No' when he asked for Darren Bent. Perhaps that would have tipped him over the edge and towards Newcastle and I would have ben blamed for the capitulation - or McClaren leaving.
