Just been sacked by Forest apparently, bit bizarre after a 4-2 win over Leeds.

Might mean a bit of confusion over McGoldrick though for Forest, don't know if good or bad to be honest.

CovFan · Dec 26, 2012

Might also mean a manager who has only lost 1 match in 11 could be on their Shortlist...

Brighton Sky Blue · Dec 26, 2012

Probably bad as he was set to let McG leave-a new manager may well have different ideas.

Lord_Nampil · Dec 26, 2012

Think they want a named manager Sven lives in Burbage still so I am guessing he might be there target??

covey1987 · Dec 26, 2012

Where has this come from? Nothing on any news channels?

lordsummerisle · Dec 26, 2012

Think they are looking for a "big-name" manager with Prem experience before th transfer window, so will already have him lined up and his big money targets, think even more likely that McG surplus to requirements there now.

One point off the play-offs and sacked?

Be somebody like Sven come in and fuck it up for them.

BBC and statement from the Chairman.

Modern football owners and the manager merry-go-round: they make no sense.

Sky Sports News as well

covey1987 · Dec 26, 2012

Was O,Driscoll apointed by these owners or before they took over?? Seems a bit harsh but if you are going to get rid of a manager timing is right. Says that they are looking for a young manager with premier league experience. Must be someone who is available straight away like Mark Hughes.

Chris Coleman?

Appointed by owners

We used to worship a manager who only ever won 1 in 11.

Appointed by the owners after "players asked for O'Driscoll" (ironically after other 'big name' bosses were 'ruled out'.....)

wingy · Dec 26, 2012

Alls not well there ,late paying player wages last month,change of Chairman last week. :thinking about:

dongonzalos · Dec 26, 2012

Strange on alright

14pls · Dec 26, 2012

not a good thing imo, regardless of the stature of the manager who comes in, he's going to see McGoldrick: 16 goals in 21 games, he'd be daft not to recall him, if only to see what he's all about.

kdrinkell · Dec 26, 2012

I see the players aren't happy on twitter regarding his sacking,seems unfair.

Danceswithhorses · Dec 26, 2012

Seems a very 'Eric Black' decision if you ask me

kg82 · Dec 26, 2012

Al Hasawi, the Forest Chairman, has tweeted he's been in contact with a Premiership manager tonight and meeting on Thursday. Surely a manager currently in charge of a Premiership club wouldn't think about managing Forest at the moment!

Why would you make it public knowledge if you have ? I hope they sink like a lead weight after the chairman meddled.

BurbageSkyBlues · Dec 26, 2012

Major faux pas by forest, IMO.

Good win today, well placed for a playoff push second half of the season, players doing well for the manager, compared to last year - where were they!?,

According to their owner, they are after a manager with premiership experience.....well, fine if you re there already, but not maybe the best way to get out of the championship....ask Sven....oh hang on, I'll pop next door and check.......

In terms of DMG...hmm, well,, like one poster said above, a top manager would be daft if he didn't take a look, so that would be a recall until the contract runs out...unless, after an early look, he decides to release him or reloan him back to us? If they do recall him, then decide lat the end of the season that he isn't good enough, we might get him then, albeit too late perhaps?

Regarding the manger, can't see it being Sven,; maybe Hughes is a good shout...who else is free?

Fingers crossed, boys, this is one scenarios that we had not anticipated !

kg82 · Dec 26, 2012

I've heard Di Matteo being touted quite a lot already.

Seamus1 · Dec 26, 2012

I have a feeling it will be Roy Keane (managed Sunderland in PL) ex Forest player might win over a few of the fans...even though his managerial record is hardly brilliant

Guessing Mark Hughes

Macca · Dec 26, 2012

AT surely?

Sorry

CJparker · Dec 26, 2012

AT would do a good job at Forest IMO

dongonzalos · Dec 26, 2012

If it is keane the chairman will get what he deserves.
However I feel sorry for the fans

You are proper mad, still funniest post in a long time.

sw88 · Dec 26, 2012

Fans still like Billy Davies. He likes money. Forest now have money. Match made in heaven i say!

BurbageSkyBlues · Dec 26, 2012

Not a prem league manager....only in ego!

Real · Dec 26, 2012

I've heard Keane attended the match as a guest of the Forest owners.

Deleted member 4232 · Dec 26, 2012

Someone on their board is convinced it will be Capello. Quash

This post is about Nottingham forest C J. Not Forest Green Rovers - not that they would touch him with a barge pole either.
