If it was denied I think we'd have heard already. I was thinking more along the lines of Clough being torn between loyalty to Burton and wanting to go to Forest. If Burton block the approach it takes it out of Nigel's hands and I don't think Clough would be overly upset about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stive Pesley Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Burton have granted Forest permission to approach Nigel now it seems. Pretty sure NC and Ben Robinson must be wetting themselves "go on Nigel! go and have a listen to what nonsense he comes out with.." When Clough came to Derby he knew it was a big job but that he had the backing to rebuild the team no matter how long it took, and he ended up the third or fourth longest serving manager in the league didn't he? Zero evidence that Fawaz would afford him the same luxury. In fact nothing but evidence that he WOULDN'T! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramsbottom Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 The big question is, would he actually want to manage them? Remember he still holds a grudge at how they treated his Dad during his last season. If there's one thing that people will agree on with Nige is that he has strong morals...

mrdave85 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I think it's 50/50, supposedly meeting with Burton chairman today. I think it will hinge on what Fawaz says, if you spent most of your playing career at Forest like Clough did I imagine you'd put a lot of thought into the offer of managing that club, despite what is going on around it.

tomsdubs Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 If he goes I think Burton will stay up, he almost derailed their promotion last season. The guy is just a below average manager. Never learns. All the piss take we got for hiring him, just like the piss take for our Prem season and they hired the mastermind twice. He walked away with 2 huge payoffs. The day Fawaz leaves will be a sad day, he's been a constant source of entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abu Derby Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I reckon Nige will stay at the Brewers till the end of the season having saved them by the skin of their teeth from relegation. He will then take over at Forest next season and complete the job (relegation that is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTedd Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 5 hours ago, WhiteHorseRam said: Serious question - could Forest actually disappear? I imagine worst case scenario it would still do a Wimbledon, as its fans would set it up from square one again. But imagine not playing them for maybe 3/4 seasons? Nah, it took this long for their fans to bother coming up with a half hearted protest. Do you think they'd have the organisation to set up a whole new football team? And if they could, what makes you think promotion through the tiers would be a formality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
