And this makes it even more surprising: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20855227 Sure McLeish has had Premiership experience, but it was all experience of failure, with Birmingham and Villa. Who in their right minds would swap O'Driscoll for McLeish, espcially when O'Driscoll's team was improving? I thought they were going to come up with someone at least as high-profile as De Matteo. Still, at least it isn't Roy Keane.
If it's possible, I think I'm more astonished at this news than I was at O'Driscoll's departure - McLeish? Agree with your post 100%, eddie.
I really like O Driscoll as a Manager.What Forest have done I can't understand.Why appoint O Driscoll in the first place?He needs time to get Forest playing the neat passing football that his previous teams played.They say football is a results business well his last result was a 4-2 win against Dirty Leeds.To also then appoint McLeish as the new Manager has just compounded the mistake.
Mcleish is on the other end of the totem to o'driscoll, in terms of how they set their sides up. The danger of foreign owners.
Just when you think nothing in football could surprise you any more............... I can guess what the Forest fans think about this. Still at least it's not Gary Megson. Or Iain Dowie.
