Earnie
First Team Squad
“Billy Davies had a very purposeful meeting with the chairman,” Billy Davies says. “Time will tell. We all know what we have to do for next season. Billy Davies has got no other intention but to get Billy Davies's head down and get this job done over the next two years. Anybody watching our team would have seen what we were before January and what we were after January. Everybody with half a brain would understand. This is the chairman’s club, it’s Nigel Doughty’s money. He and the acquisitions committee will decide what’s right.
Let Billy Davies put it this way: Billy Davies could not give two f***s what anybody thinks. Billy Davies is very good at Billy Davies's job, Billy Davies is very professional. Billy Davies is employed to win football matches and organise football clubs, Billy Davies is not a politician looking for favourable votes.
Billy Davies is not trying to cause a problem, all Billy Davies is saying is that in the January window we weakened our position and that was a bad error of judgement. Billy Davies certainly won’t tell any lies and that seems to have caused one or two people a problem
with Billy Davies, again, being this *troublesome, fiery manager. They’ve got it wrong. Billy Davies knows what Billy Davies does. That’s why people employ Billy Davies and with four play-off semi-finals and two finals, and saving a team from *relegation, Billy Davies is very proud of what Billy Davies has achieved.
What happened was Billy Davies's representative was asked a direct question that if the Celtic job was offered to Billy Davies, would Billy Davies take it, He said that Billy Davies is a professional football manager, if compensation is agreed with his employers and they felt it was time for him to move on, there isn’t a job that Billy Davies wouldn’t consider, if all the terms and conditions were right.
But there’s clear misrepresentation about this, because when Billy Davies was asked about the Celtic job, Billy Davies said pure and simple that when you’re up in Scotland and you’re an ex-Ranger or an ex-Celtic player, you’ve got to find a balanced ground. Now that’s not Billy Davies saying Billy Davies wants to leave Forest, Billy Davies was asked about the Celtic job and Billy Davies made it clear that Billy Davies is not a bigoted Rangers supporter. Billy Davies is an ex-Rangers player, but Billy Davies would always consider any job in Europe as a professional football manager. Billy Davies was trying to be open, up front and honest. Let Billy Davies make something very clear, being an ex-Ranger doesn’t stop Billy Davies from considering any other job in Europe, including Celtic Football Club, if everything is equal.
That doesn’t concern Billy Davies. When Billy Davies went to Preston, Billy Davies was Billy Who? When Billy Davies left Preston, they were financially better off. If you look at the new stand they’ve built, it was built on the success of Billy Davies and Billy Davies's staff, with two play-offs and the buying of David Nugent for £99,000, who was sold for over £6 million. They really should call it the I Me And Myself Stand.
Billy Davies went to Derby County and a section of the fans wanted a bigger name, they weren’t particularly happy, then within 11 months you win promotion, you turn their finances round, and the club changes hands and people move on. No different at Forest, a section of fans did not want an ex-Derby County manager. You will always get negatives, but if a club wants success, Billy Davies would let Billy Davies's track record speak for itself. If they want to let religion come into play, or a colour or a creed, then good luck to them. It doesn’t bother Billy Davies.
Listen, Billy Davies is a pain in the backside to many, because Billy Davies knows the prize is so great. People don’t employ Billy Davies because Billy Davies is this, that or the next thing, it’s because Billy Davies is good at his job, Billy Davies gets results, and Billy Davies turns the finances of football clubs around and makes them successful. If that’s unemployable to some chairmen, good luck to them.”
