Couldn't care less what other fans think of Billy, fact is he has done a wonderful job in the 15 months he has been here. I would certainly much rather have him in charge than Hughton, who last season didn't even win a game when caretaker manager on two occassions.

Some pretty unfair comments on there.
Regarding what teams need to spend, he quoted very similar figures for us when he did 'An Evening With...'
I don't think it's mind games with Newcastle, even he doesn't believe we can catch you. There's a real paranoia on your boards.
Yes, his only concern is with Forest, but that doesn't mean he is insincere when congratulating a team who have been promoted.
Our only chance is if we catch West Brom, which isn't really that feasible. The top 3 are pretty much set now.
For what it's worth, I think over the course of the season the top 3 are about right.
If you'd asked me before Christmas, and indeed if you'd asked pretty much anyone, Forest were comfortably the best team in the league.
Our performance against West Brom was the performance of a good Premiership quality team. Unfortunately we lost a couple of players and spun into a weird confidence lapse.
WBA and Newcastle have kept their cool and deserve the top two spaces.
I think, on merit, we deserve to get promoted via the playoffs, but it's not always that simple, is it?

I always got the feeling that Billy didn't care what people outside of his own house thought of him, as long as he remained successful.

The reason we're not already promoted is because we didn't sign Shorey.

How short sighted are you?
Would you swap your team for ours? No, of course not because you have a vastly better team than ours.
BD has got this relegation fodder from last season team competing with teams who have world cup players in their squad. Hughton wouldn't have got anywhere near 70 points.
Bloody hell, I could have got Newcastle promoted with their team and resources.

If Billy was in charge of your team, you would have been up weeks ago.
You have a squad where the average wage bill must be 3 or 4 times as much as ours

I like the fact that our manager is unpopular with other teams fans. If he wasn't, then he wouldn't be doing a good job.

I'm not sure Billy will really care what a load of unemployed, deluded, crying fat blokes have to say about anything especially when they are stuck in the arse end of nowhere.

Maybe the fact your wage bill is possibly 10x bigger and we have spent around ÂŁ11.5m on assembling our squad while you have spent around ÂŁ50m on yours and are benefting from huge parachute payments which other clubs don't get.

This.
I think it's a sign of weakness if any manager of any club cares what other teams think of them.

What he said
It wouldve been very hard for houghton to fail, with the resources he came down with.
Coloccini cost the same amount as our entire squad!

Guttierez's wages are more than our entire squad.

Your club hired Colin Calderwood so no one in Newcastle can say shit. I'm pretty sure Billy didnt slate Newcastle anyway in the interview he was just stating a fact. Pull your heads out of your arses man. As it stands you a championship club (abeit nearly promoted) You have no god given rights to shit. In fact your team has proved time and time again that they are nothing more than a slightly above average premier league team at best.

the only reason why hughton got the job is because know one else wanted it, he was caretaker manager twice before he got the job end of!

No wonder my post count..
As Forest fans who have tasted European success (not the inter two-bob cup) we know what our team needs to succeed and we have found that in Billy.
Whoopee, you've practically won the league, but at least we have a chairman who wouldn't rebrand his grandma to make more money.

f***ing hell, I heard his interview and thought he congratulated them on getting promoted. What do they want, their arses licking for them as well?

Oh, and look at the calamity he and Chris Houghton have presided over. What is wrong with you people. We're only where we are because of the work Colin started. Have you heard of a certain player called Chris Cohen? Robert Earnshaw perhaps, who walked off the field at St. James' arm in arm with Colin, and clearly still has a lot of respect for him. Perhaps Lee Camp is more your cup of tea.
Look at Leeds, they're in serious danger of spending yet another season in League One. How dare people not at least treat Colin with a bit of respect. Not the greatest manager we've had, but everything good about Forest now began during his revival.
Grow up you fool.

You're just a dumping ground for Forest rejects. You snapped up Kinnear who was total dog shit, then when we got somebody better than Colin "Only Defence is True" Calderwood, you hoovered him up too, and you've bored your way to the top with his negative football. Next season in the Prem when you're getting arse raped every week, Haughton will be out, and you'll bring Megson in to help you on your return to the Championship.
