Billy Davies will be appointed as the next manager of Nottingham Forest, at least according to our esteemed local rag.
I don’t want Davies as manager. As I have said in previous posts, I don’t even think that sacking Colin will achieve that much. For those of you who think that Davies would be good choice, have a read of this article, which is admittedly partisan, but also have a look at the comments. An egotistical manager who relies on defending a lead, and whose team displays a distinct lack of leadership – if all this is true, would this really be an improvement on Colin? All of these accusations have been levelled at the bronzen one by disgruntled Forest supporters in the recent past.
Finally, players like Robert Earnshaw have stated that part of the reason they enjoy life at Forest is because they feel wanted (I cannot be bothered to look up links, but have a read of the official site or the NEP shortly after Earnie signed). How do you think our best striker will feel if the club appoint the man who signed him, then never played him when they were at Derby?
Update (27/11/08, 12.30): Brian Laws has just signed a new contract at Sheffield Wednesday.
