MrsRam Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 ALAN SHEARER has missed out on a return to management with Nottingham Forest – after a behind-the-scenes shake-up. Shearer was the choice of Forest advisor David Pleat to replace Steve McClaren, and the Match of the Day pundit was working on possible staff and signings if he got the nod. But Pleat's departure means that the Newcastle United legend and short-term boss is off the shortlist for the post. He nearly took over at Cardiff in the summer but had a late change of heart. Forest are now waiting on Nigel Clough to decide whether he is ready to quit Derby to boss the club his father Brian turned into European champions. Clough has gone away for a break to consider his future as an official approach is expected within days.

MrsRam Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Makes me feel a little sick to be honest. I hope it's cleared up pretty soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Found this on the Sun website http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3853169/Rams-rush-to-keep-Nigel-Clough-away-from-Nottingham-Forest.html from earlier in the week. DERBY will hurry along contract talks with Nigel Clough to keep him out of the clutches of arch rivals Nottingham Forest. The bookies make Clough an 11-1 shot to follow in the footsteps of his late, great father Brian by quitting the Rams and moving on to manage at the City Ground. Clough Jnr is in the final year of his Pride Park deal. But Derby chief executive Tom Glick said: "We'd hope to sort something in very good time because Nigel is the guy for the long term."

smiffy Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Wouldn't it be against the grain for Glick to panic ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimacked Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 They are reusing a quote from Glick from early last week before these rumours were stirred up. Suppose with it being a quiet weekend in the prem and the championship and the glaring job vacancies at forest and bristol add to that the obvious issue of Clough having a limsy 1 year contract running down. it was obvious the tabloids would try and create or look for a story here.

Donny Ram Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Paul Peschisolido is probably the most likely local manager to consider the role, why would Nigel want all the pain and agro of going through cost cutting and trimming a squad down. The best case for Forest is a £10m cut in wages and staffing costs, something that Shearer would struggle with. Made up paper talk no doubt on the Shearer front with as much chance of happening as Forest winning the league this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds Ram Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 i don't think forest will have pesch to be honest, they might go for shaun o driscall, he would be a good manager for them. Another option is the mk dons manager, i really hope they get stan collymore though or roy keane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I like pesch, and for that reason hope he don't go to forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p.shilton Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I wish they would just appoint someone- all this speculation is getting on my nerves! Come on Forest, take the plunge and give us all a laugh- please make sure that it is someone sh*te.......Ince or Keane would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekkie_ram Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I don't mind them getting anyone except Martin O'Neill, who would definitely turn them around. (I've already discounted Nigel Clough as extremely unlikely, Satan hasn't borrowed my skis yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Hmm, maybe they should have a word with their colleagues at Sky bet then as he is 40/1! And Clough is 10-1, so according to them has more chance of taking over. Disclaimer:- Im not hitting any panic button, I dont care if Clough stays or goes, and am just posting a reply, I also dont need to email sky sports to ask them why Clough is still 10-1....just saying 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
