Did no-one notice McClaren has gone. lol

Under a cloud I would suspect but didn't know where to position his umbrella. I love how the article has highlights of the Burnley 5-1 at the end of it. lol

Another team to overtake Pompey in a few weeks when they've got a new manager.

 

Not a surprise though. Now if Magilton were to be sacked, now that would come as a shock.

 

that would be the story of the century.

 

What Jim Magilton has been sacked?!

 

Talking of magilton he's assistant manager at shamrock rovers now lol.

 

does this mean he's left Ipswich?? I think Roy Keane might be in line for the Ipswich job then!

 

Ipswich have sacked Jim Magilton??

 

Dave Jones will probably end up at Forest. Can't see them tempting Martin O'Neill or Mark Hughes there.

 

cough cough NC...............as in the son of..............BC....cough cough.may fancy it?

 

Wouldn't surprise me to see Strachan pitching up there actually - He must be on the shortlist

 

Maybe under normal circumstances but why throw away what he's done at Derby?

 

Dave Jones will be the man. He knows how to do the job on a shoestring (ish) and isn't a whinging manager. I hope he gets it, and hope he gets great success with them (going up behind Saints). He got a rough deal from the bloke we hung from the Itchen Bridge.

Strachan would need to spend and as CBK says O'Neil and Hughes would want something bigger. Clough I think will need to succeed at Derby first, although it would be of Harry proportions if he did make that move.

 

Agreed. Dave Jones is one of the game's good guys and I was gutted with the way Lowe treated him. It was a shameful time for our club, and I'd love to see him back at SMS, but as we're going up and Forest aren't we may have to wait awhile and content ourselves with singing his name at their place when we next pass through!

 

drifting off topic, but has anyone read his book? I read it and was just stunned. The treatment he got and what his family went through was heart breaking. I have so much time for Dave Jones. I am pleased he is not at Cardiff anymore, because I never wanted them to go up, but would have been delighted for Dave Jones. He is a true gent of the game.

 

Do people think Jones would want that job, after all the board have excessive expectations at Forrest and he did not deliver on his promotion at Cardiff. I see Jones either applying for Blackburn (soon) or somewhere else but I'm not sure he would want to go to Nottm.

 

I think he might want it. He is out of work (though not skint!) and loves football. He may feel that Blackburn job is a hiding to nothing and I also think the owners there would want a bigger name. They are more likely to go for a Mark Hughes or Martin O'Neil if they could convince them.

 

Yep, the moment this happened last night I texted my Forest mate to say that I reckoned their next manager would be Dave Jones or Aidy Boothroyd.

Someone who knows the division inside-out, and would be happy to work on a budget. (If Forest actually have money to spend, then a) why not give it to McClaren to spend, or b) why not use it to tempt the likes of O'Neil or Pearce back in the summer?).

 

Forgot Boothroyd. Not had the same success since leaving Watford though.
