Do we think he's our best manager since BC?

Billy seems to know what he's doing. I've never known a manager to be so confident and experienced enough to appear to be able to predict an entire season.

He's better than Harry Bassett thats for sure.

I really like to hear your views on this

I said this when the rumours were flying around regarding his appointment weeks before he was finally announced as manager. He is without doubt the best appointment since BC in terms of ability, knowlege of the game and his attention to detail. I have no doubt that we have a great manager in charge and will prosper further under him.

Lets be honest how many of you remember or have even been to a game when the great man was in charge?

Frank Clark's achievements of promotion, third in the Premiership the a run to the UEFA Cup quarter finals make him the best even though he inherited a strong side and was given money to add the likes of Bohinen, Collymore and Cooper to it.

Yeah forgot about him! How quickly we forget, That 94/95 season was my favourite as a Forest fan.

However BD's achievements of keeping us up and making us the best team in the championship (out od the sides who wernt in the premiership last season) is remarkable. He has done it with the addition of a few players and most of the side that struggled for the last few years

I was thinking something similar the other day. How many current manager in England would you swap BD for. You can include all prem managers in that?

Is David Platt still a manager or pundit

Clark built a significantly better side than Davies has so far done.

Clark had a better base to build on though...a side that had just been relegated from the top flighthe first time in many years - rather than a side recently promoted from the third tier and struggling in the second...

He can't be penalised for his circumstance.

Even though he had a better squad to start with he still had to cope with the loss of Clough and Keane, and follow immediately on from Brian Clough.

We're yet to see Billys final team yet if we ever will... Then I think it would be safe to say Billy is the best since the great man. But it's hard to compare Billy and Frank teams. As he said himself on the mist.

Paul Hart has to be 3rd if not a close 2nd IMO with what he did with what was at his disposal even if it was just for the one season and because I loved that season.

Nobody with the raw star quality that he had.

Still saddens me that he never fulfilled his potential. If he'd stayed with us, I reckon he'd have been a superstar.

Davies is the best we've had since Clough in my view.

Clark did a fantastic job but lets be fair he inherited a Premiership squad, was able to spend as much as Davies (Collymore, Cooper, Bohinen etc).

Davies pretty much had a League One squad and spent as much as Clark to bring it up to Championship standard.

Cloughie wasn't as good as Frank Barlowandcharliemcparland.

Although we did have a caretaker manager once that had a 100% win record.

I've forgottten who it was. Probably the one between Calderwood and Billy. I championed him on here for a few weeks.

On any measure he is close to being the best since BC, however he has not achieved anything yet!. Actually I take that back he saved us from relegation.
