(If he does take over?) he is struggling to find his feet in this division with Forest.I'm split to think if he's a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Nottingham Forest boss Gary Megson is ready to quit the club after yet another defeat in League One.Forest were amongst the favourites for promotion this season after suffering relegation from The Championship last term.However, Megson's men have had a disastrous start to the campaign, and have lost six games on the bounce after winning their opening fixture.Forest lost 2-0 at Barnsley on Saturday and Megson had to walk past an irate travelling support at Oakwell who vented their anger with the manager.Megson can understand their frustration and the former West Brom boss has offered to leave The City Ground if the board decide on a change."That was the longest walk I have ever done but I cannot blame the fans," said Megson after facing the Forest fans on the walk to the tunnel at Oakwell."The way they turn out in their thousands every week to watch that it's amazing - I wouldn't."I cannot blame the players either as I have brought 12 of them in but their performance is not what I expect. I will sit down with the people in charge and see what they think."If they decide its time for a change then I'll go. But it's a fantastic club and the people in charge are wonderful."Thats what was on Sky Sports website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had heated talks last week and decided to stay on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestForever Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 You're quoting old news! Yes Megson did have talks with the Forest board last week following the defeat against Barnsley. He offered to quit but received full backing from the board and the majority of fans so will be here for a while longer.Meggo's going nowhere - Sorry!

Sacking yet another manager would be suicide for us. Best of luck tonight by the way and those that are making the journey, enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest routabout Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 I won't be going FF, but thanks. I have a feeling that Megson will be finding favour amongst some of his critics, after tonight. Although it pains me to say it, I see nothing other than a resounding victory for your lot.Please ignore some of our 'less able' posters, they know not, what they say.

As I mentioned on an earlier thread it will be a very special night - It's one year to the day since Brian Clough died and I'm expecting a pretty good turnout from Forest with a minute's silence before the game and Cloughie's name being shouted around the crowd it should be a great atmosphere.

We had our minute's silence to honour the passing of our former chairman Archie Gooch, which was carried out impeccably. As our away fans are generally a bloody good bunch, I don't envisage any of them not honouring Cloughie. In fact, I will be honouring him, from home, listening in on BCFCWorld's live commentary. A sad and great loss to the world and to football. I can only imagine just how great a loss it must be for the Forest faithful. A true legend, the likes of which we may never see again.

RED4LIFE Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 yeah, nice post FF. I think any true football fan will remember the great Cloughie with a lot of fondness. He may have been your manager, but he was every footy fans favourite other teams manager when he was in his prime. I mean who can ever forget him giving a couple of fans a few slaps for coming onto HIS pitch, and then getting them to apologise, utter genius. He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten. Best of luck with the minutes silence, but not with the result (although we both need the 3 points). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
