    sounds like Forest beat us to it...unless we were never interested
  • or are we more interested in Big Sam and he has been blown Forest out to come to us as it was reported at the start of the week he was set for Forest

    Bit poor on Forests part if true imo.

    Talking to a manager before you've even sacked your current one.

    A bit poor but not uncommon.

    So that's Forest saved :-(

    Have to hope Blackpool/Southampton and one other IMPLODE.

    And we get 10wins.

    B-)
  • 606 poster claims to have heard from reliable inside source that we have Parky until the end of the season. Announcement expected very soon.

    Watch out for Derby to collapse. OK, they are 10 pts ahead of us (and Blackpool are 12 ahead, btw). But I read their chairman somewhere saying he wanted Chris Hutchings to be caretaker for as long as possible with the the hope that he will pck up some points and they can then make him permanent. Sounds familar?

    Hopefully means they wll now go two months without a win for as we saw at the Valley before Xmas, they are a really poor side and Hutchings has a far worse record than Parky with not even a Colchester-style success story in his locker. Sacked after 21 games at Barnsley and after 12 as caretaker at Wigan...

    Simply ludicrous

    How can it be justified? Have they carried out the strategic review?

    Why bullshit us with talk of a strategic review and then do the worst possible strategy - are they genuinely clueless?

    ............

    There may be some truth in this story, or there might not be, bear in mind that it's a 606 poster and not a credible source.

    As I said in the 'was there a board meeting yesterday?' thread, there's a very simple way to kill this story, if not true. The 606 poster claims the decision was taken at a board meeting yesterday. We have some extremely well connected Charlton Lifers - surely one of them can tell us if the board did meet yesterday? If the answer is 'no, most of them are off on skiing holidays', then we know its b*ll**ks.

    Great quote from Richard Cawley on Twitter last night "Shame to see Steve Cotterill struggling at Forest. Found him truly unpleasant to deal with in the past."

    Wasn't Davies always arguing with the board and thus unpopular?

    Even if so, they finished 6th last season didn't they? What a very silly decision.

    Reminds me of when the Gills got rid of Peacock after years of nearly getting promoted, then plummeted.

    Reminds me of the Gills getting rid of Pulis - truly mental - Davies did wonders at Forest but the board thought they knew best....

    Davies is a pain in the arse and an old school manager but whereas he might have got them promoted their managers this season may well get them relegated....
  • when's waggy going mr supaclive and where's our big signings???
