    So looking at the bookies, no one has a bloody clue

    That's how I see it Sam. The scary thing is that The Belgians don't either. They will probably just pick a name out of a hat.

    Can someone, who has nothing better to do, keep a list of all these "new managers" and who on here favoured them, then come Christmas when he is sacked for being useless, we can see who said he would do well

    Can't believe who we are prepared to accept now. How low can we go. Why not just bend us all over and.....,

    They're hoping Millwall lose in the playoff final so they can approach Neil Harris. Katrien thinks we'll appreciate her signing a London manager

    She's approached Keith Harris and Orville. They do love a puppet after all.

    We really are scraping the bottom of the barrel with these out of work managers. But then again, beggars can't be choosers ...

    Davies has done well everywhere, he's got promotions and his sides play good football. I would've been happy with him post-Curbs and I'll be happy with him now.

    More importantly though, Roland Duchatelet and Katrien Meire need to allow a scout and manager to work together to identify the right type of player with a decent budget. Oh, and let the manager pick the team.

    Don't think many Forest fans have much good to say about Davies.

    I'm not a Davies fan anymore but forest have gone from the play off contenders to one step above relegation since he has gone.

    I'm always a bit sceptical re managers win ratios - a lot of it depends on what level they are managing at.

    In any case, I'm sure we can lower all there's for them.

    We should just give Evans, Adkins, Collins, Hill, Cotterill, Davies and Slade 5 games each (Karel can be caretaker for the other 11) whoever loses the most games and signs the most shit players gets the job permanently next season...in league 2.

    agree but just wanted to provide some stats becuase we know damn sure that KM & RD won't bother with such piffle.

    Always good to see stats.

    I dread to think what the the Belgians criteria is. I would honestly love to be a fly on the wall during interviews. I bet it's comedy gold.

    Cant believe the names being banded about considering we are an established 3rd division side.

    Don't they know Peligrini, LVG, Giggs, Redknapp, are all looking for jobs.

    Jesus, we also need a striker and Ibrahimovic is on a free transfer still.

    Did say a few months ago our name in the game is so poor,very few people will have anything to do with us unless they are desperate. I think that is starting to look clear.

    Of the regular names being banded around, Adkins or Slade would actually positively surprise me, Keith Hill would be meh to me, Evans would disgust me, and Davies would just be a disaster imo
