    That’s a bit unfair, he did a reasonable job for us. I’m still of the opinion he came to us too soon and was therefore a bit inexperienced when he joined. Had he joined us after gaining more experience and not having to deal with Ashton, who knows.

    To be fair he did well first couple of years but then lost it.
    Not sure who was running the show but Ashton and LJ completely messed up the last couple of years.
    We had good and bad times under LJ.

    For me the question is who’s idea was the scatter gun approach, if I’m honest I think it was imposed on Lee, who was expected to deal with the consequences. It eventually caught up with us, first Lee, then Dean and now Nige is having to suffer the consequences, that’s my take on things

    Good luck to Lee in everything he does but we move on as well to a hopefully better place.

    I don't know why he puts himself through it.
    He could retire comfortably with his property portfolio, put his feet up and watch all the other managers suffer the stress, hassle and VERY fickle support with no guarantee of success that goes with being a Football Manager.
    If he wanted to stay recognisable he could always become a pundit - he has the buzzword vocabulary!!!

    It's strange to see players from a previous era at AG in the news including Marlon Pack and Richard Keogh and wondering what their futures hold?

    8 managers in less than 4 years is this the worst club record!!! The reality is he didnt do quite as well as expected considering ... they only won 26 pts in last 20 games, 18 in past 15 games earlier in year were 10pts clear with 1-3 games in hand! ... [ teams that dropped away! ]
    Will he last t to Christmas!

    Bournemouth and Fulham keeping tabs on him. If Forest go up via play offs you can see them coming back for him. Plus then you’ve the other clubs rumoured interested in him.
    I think it’s going to be a shock if he’s here next season. We won’t be able to offer what those lot will be offering. I just hope we’ve set a limit and put a big sell on clause into the deal.
