He will make them harder to beat I expect but just feel that he is a bit of a « yesterday’s man « . Same- and I can see them getting a boost from his appointment, but for how long I'm not sure.

Like Rowett being told there was no money at Derby, Frank Lampard comes in and they splash the cash, I reckon owners will gamble on promotion and worry about FFP later, typical of foreign owners, they seem to forget that only 3 clubs can go up in any one year.

Kodjias Wrist Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 16 hours ago, BS4 on Tour... said: It seems a good time to revisit O’Neill’s quote when he was manager of non league Wycombe Wanderers and the sags approached him to be their manager - he rebutted their offer saying he thought ‘Wycombe had more potential than Bristol Rovers..’ As funny as that is what a ridiculous comment to make. I mean they did take 45k...i mean 40k...i mean 35k....wait actually 30k to Wembley ? Seriously though Wycombe?? No potential there at all is there??

Mel Morris aka Derby owner- is from Derby, plenty of feckless UK owners around too- look at Bolton. However yes, he may splash the cash a bit- bit where he differs to a lot of the foreign owners is he knows FFP from UEFA rules and I think he respects it reasonably well. Those from Far East, Asia or USA which is a lot of them have never heard of such things and in case of Man City very used to getting their own way- see Royal Family UAE Man City.

I take your point but I was referring to Forest's owners, I appreciate that Mel Morris is British. There were definite concerns about FFP at Derby when Rowett was in the role, these seem to have been waived when Frank Lampard turned up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It genuinely depends on the manager, some manager really inspire players when joining up and first talking to them, others cause concerns. I personally think MON will need time at Forest, we'll probably be going up against a team doing the same thing they've been doing only with a few changes in focus. I think it'll be a very tough game to win, I'd be happy with a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think them selling Vydra, Weimann, profit on that- plus the subsequent wages and amortisation off the bill helped there. They're in a tight spot but not in the worst place IMO. Oh yeah I know, basically it's said that there are a lot of terrible/clueless foreign owners- often a trope posted online (not saying you are) and for the purposes of balance I pointed out it's not just a foreign trait.

Allwaysred Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Forest are a joke club now and their endless merry go round of managers is nothing short of ridiculous and fans still living off years past. I'm confident the reds will go there Saturday and come back with all 3pts and a clean sheet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 For some strange reason it really wound me up listening to Harry Redknapp talking about this appointment on Talksport earlier tonight....for a start Harry called them ‘Notts Forest’ twice....amateur error....then when asked his opinion on the possibility of Roy Keane joining O’Neill as part of the Forest management team he called Keane a ‘young British manager’ - British?! And Keane made his views clear about the British during his immature spat with Mick McCarthy after which he went home from the 2002 World Cup....anyhow...that doesn’t distract from Harry’s ‘Notts’ and ‘British’ comments - both laughably incorrect....
