Can’t see that being true. Would buy it moreso if it was a case of Forest waiting to see what division they’re in first. But to say we are definitely missing out to them in an implied two horse race...
He will have plenty of Championship interest I’m sure but they could’ve picked a more believable mid table club like Swansea or Bristol City.
He has deficiencies as a manager but he definitely can spot a footballer and he is certainly a long haul manager . Maybe he’s learnt some tactical flexibility as he’s got older

He is only about 18 months older than Jackson.
Anyway Corey Smith......
Yes I’m aware of that ; he’s also managed for over a decade . Good to see that some of them learn .

At 31 Corey Smith sounds far too old 😉
Would be a good signing if we were going for a Manning type manager.
A youngster on loan from Premier League we should be keeping an eye on, CJ Egan-Riley. Manchester City centre back who has captained their U23 side throughout the season and is now starting to be involved in their squad. Only made a couple of appearances, one in the cup against Wycombe.
Centre back who can play right back so would be comfortable in the right centre back position if we continue with back 3/5.
Just another name of young players we should be keeping tabs on.

Just come on against Newcastle.
Do you think a championship club would be likely to have a punt on him?
As someone slightly naive to football outside of Charlton, I don’t know if championship clubs tend to want to loan centre backs or would rather prefer a to use that market for a more attacking option.
We’d be foolish not to ask but I wouldn’t be at all shocked if he ends up in the Championship.
Here are the defenders Man City have had out on loan this season:
Taylor Harwood-Bellis (at Stoke) Finley Burns (at Swansea) Yan Couto (at Braga) Yeboah Amankwah (at Accrington) Oscar Tarensi (at Girona) Callum Doyle (at Sunderland) Kleivurth Aguilar (at Lommel) Nahuel Ferraresi (at Estoril Praia) Ko Itakura (at Schalke) Issa Kabore (at Troyes) Pedro Porro (at Sporting Lisbon)
Interesting. Callum Doyle has played 36 odd games for Sunderland this season, though he didn’t seem to have played for City’s first team before going on loan there.
Egan-Riley sounds like he would definitely be a quality loan for us in a position where we really need quality. But can’t help but think he may be loaned out to a higher level.

If Guardiola feels he's good enough to be making their bench regularly, and in fact came on as a sub today, there's no way he's dropping down to league one. He'll get a championship loan.
Just a suggestion and would probably be a bit if statement if we were to go for him. There have been some very good young players go on loan from Man City the last year or two. Portsmouth’s keeper one of them at this level.
I think if we get in a manager who wants to play good football and we showed a keen interest, you never know. Unlikely, but you never know.
Guess he is also likely to be involved more often now they have Walker, Stones, and Dias out for the rest of the season.
Keep the suggestions coming, it certainly broadens my somewhat limited knowledge.
Plus it’s much nicer to have a constructive talk about the abilities of players, and if we could get them, and where we might see them fitting into the set up than a lot of the other conversations currently happening.
Tom Huddlestone leaving Hull, 35, and would still do a job in L1 IMO
Made 4 starts this season and another 8 appearances off the bench. No doubt there are some older players who have plenty to offer but that doesn't suggest he's one of them.

I know people aren't keen on older players but have we actually got anyone left over 30?
You really do need a couple of senior pros. The trick is getting the right one.
Would hope we are looking for an experienced centre back. Pearce leaving is the right call I think but we usually looked better with him in the defence and I think that was more to do with his experience/organisation than his ability

That would also depend on how the new manager wants to play
With Bazunu, Pompey wanted a keeper with better feet than Craig McG, to pass from back more. City meanwhile probably wouldn't have sent him to a side who wanted to kick it long.
Interesting that they had a defender out on loan at Accrington. Either they don't see him as a major prospect, or maybe they thought he needed "toughening up"

I dunno. Story smells like bs to me.
That's not even a rumour!
I wonder what he could have done with the right backing.........
