So after a brief honeymoon period, it is all dark clouds and gloom over the City Ground again. Despite Forest failings, this mood seems in some quarters to be exaggerated by the success our sheep bothering rivals seem to have achieved, since the appointment of our former hero and Son of the legend.
Because I have no intrest in their results apart from when they play or their result maybe dictates something else in the league which affects Forest. As you wish to assess Forest's position or plight depending on your view, remove the sheep out of the equation, before you look long and hard at Forest.
Reason for this Dirby, were in the Premier League last year, the season before, they led for some time the CCC before gaining promotion via the play-offs. After promotion they strengthened their squad in an attempt to stave off relegation, they failed but and returned to the CCC with maybe a better squad than they were promoted with. They had a very poor Manager in Jewell, seem to have a return of confidence under the new man.
We enjoyed similar a few years ago getting rid of a pressure Manager and the the players all relaxed for a while under Charlie and Frank...................still failed though when the real pressure was on the squad again. Their man has to earn his spurs after the honeymoon period he/they are enjoying at the moment. So forget them and their results until it affects Forest.
We appointed BD, not a universally popular appointment, yet certainly a man with the correct pedigree for this division. Davies is also no others side's failure either. It seems the man can do no right in some peoples eye's, he is media savvy, he will think about what he says's and more importantly fails to say.
I am sick and tired of reading that bids were made to appease the fans, nothing I can say will alter that, but just imagine as you post............... it is hardly rocket science to understand that if Forest are relegated that a huge drop in income follows.
So why on earth, in the wildest ramblings of some, can you imagine the Forest Board say doing their sums....Player A will cost us £500,000+ wages, NI etc, him and the other target at £650,00 +wages etc will be a big help towards the fight against relegation. In steps ND or MA according to your hate figure, ''Stop right there........by not buying these players, we will save £1.25 Million, relegation will only cost us £8 Million, but we must put in silly bids so the fans who have moaned loud and long will stop moaning at us!'' Go on admit it even their fiercest critics must think they have managed to spot that one :
Davies say's he has been appointed to build a team, he was slagged off for many of his comments regarding what he would regard as his biggest achievement. But he is a tried and tested man who does not suffer fools easily, including Chairman.
For me, I loved Nigel Clough, but he out of the question, as are his team, take a long hard look at us and I feel we will be fine, the Manager knows what he wants, he knows how to manage, give him time because at this stage I still feel he is a far better appointment for the future of Forest, rather than our old no 9.
Time and patience must be the watchword from, now until the end of the season. We must look forward and help the team, rather than creating so many negative vibes.
