Blakey's Right Peg Wasn't O'Driscoll behind the scenes at Forest last year? Assumed he would take on the role after they eventually gave Cotterill the boot.

Been confirmed as Forest's new boss.


Good appointment but strange that they sacked Cotterill cos they wanted an iconic manager!

Always thought he was harshly done by when he got the boot at Doncaster, solid appointment (although not 'iconic') and he should get Forest playing decent football.

Although i wonder if he'll still be in a job come Christmas if they're not near the play-offs?!........i mean he's got less than a month to get them playing decent football and they've lost 2 of their best players from last year, when they struggled.

OpeROFLation PROFLemiership.

This is brilliant - http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/covent ... -20640762/

Operation Premiership was discontinued in 2008 after two shockingly bad years. They then set-up Operation Championship... :lol:

Ideal Just read the transfer news that wolves are trying to sign Jay Spearing for £3M..
I'm now starting to think that Ståle Solbakken might not last long as Wolves manager.

People might be clever to get their bets in on that now while odds are still good.


Booed off against Derby..... Typical Wolves.

Looks like there is already friction between Brenda and the Liverpool Board. For so many reasons I just can't see him lasting to Christmas at Liverpool.

Posted this on Team Board within another comment but want to add it here....

Adkins is 2 games away from the sack. Heard this from source inside St Marys. Don't rule out return of Rednapp or an approach for Martinez

Surely even in the insane world of football no board is going to sack a manager who has led a club to two successive promotions for losing to three of the top four sides in the country and replace him with a man who has admitted in a court of law that he can’t read, write or send a text message properly?

It's been doing the rounds down here since the summer.
At the moment 'arry is doing a bit of consultancy work at Bournemouth where Paul Groves is the manager and was a coach under Redknapp at Portsmouth.
Locals think that 'arry will take over at Bournemouth soon but there's not enough money there and,although convenient,I think he'll want a much higher standard.
