    I have a close relative who worked closely with senior management at Forest, he always told me Davis is a head case with no clue on man management. Not my opinion but someone who saw him at close quarters

    Was he? I don't see much on his CV that suggests he was much better than proven average.

    Pleased the club has gone all in on their main target, thats what the fans wanted - hopefully they get it over the line

    It sounds like theyve given him a deadline which is what i mentioned on Friday/Saturday, as we can't wait around forever for Still to make his mind up

    Sounds like we might find out more today 1 way or the other

    He always has teams up in the top half with a couple of playoff finals IIRC.

    I said Championship as he never done it in the Prem.

    I was told that he was a horrible character, I think he sent players out to injure other players.

    Not sure hes ever been a great manager but all about opinions, meant to be a good guy tho

    On your mcinnes comment, obviously think it was a bit tongue n cheek but i wanted to comment to say what a job hes done at Killie. Really kicked them on, id like to see him take on a job down south (not us but a good L1 side probably),but i think hes comfortable in scotland now

    I wasn't sure, so just checked, he was the Derby Manager in the Premier League when they ended up with a record low 11 points.

    How did he take 4 points if he’d gone by November? Or am I missing something?

    Quite a few tweets about this press conference at Lens this morning.

    some suggesting it’s the arrival of Still. Quite a few suggesting things aren’t great there and they’re having to sell players to reduce outgoings.

    an interesting morning ahead.

    I would, but mainly that's because I've got a colleague who's a very good friend of someone close to McInnes, so I'd have a chance of being ITK for once :)

    I'm generally an IKN
