    Who knows perhaps they will be mad enough to appoint the Dark Lord! Afterall that's where it all began for him!

    I do feel sorry for umbrella-man, he had both hands tied behind his back at Florist, he was good at FC Twente - once he'd mastered the pidgeon English ;)
    also very good at 'Boro <ok>

    Although a bad start I think he's a decent manager and they certainly should have given him more time than that.

    I would wish on noone apart from Norwich or West Ham that Keane were to manage them. I hope noone would be that stupid!!

    He's surely finished in this country now. Who will respect him? Throwing the towel in after ten games? Pathetic.

    I think he's a good manager, but something's not right at Forest. Having a transfer decision panel? It takes all the power from the manager, and I hear there were also unkept promises on the transfer front.

    On appointing Keane: stranger things have happened!

    I thought you were talking about Keane in your first sentence, I thought surely there's not still people like that around but then realised you were talking about Maclaren!! few

    I saw an interview with Stan Collymore last week which suggested that Forest needed to sack McClaren and replace him with somebody who had previously played for Forest and had experience of what the club was all about such as Roy Keane.
    Goes to show the level of intellegence that is Stan Collymore!!

    The only thing that Collymore knows about these days is Dogging!

    keane is absolutely clueless, if forest appoint him as manager i'll laugh my ass off. How any club would even let the idiot through there gate is beyond me.

    Personally I don't rate Maclaren and would dread him as a manager as much as I dreaded Keane. Ironic of Forest's now departed chairman to say that in hindsight he wasn't the right choice for the club - I think half the country could have told him that! Surely Forest wouldn't be stupid enough to appoint someone like Keane immediately after seeing the back of one muppet!

    I actually feel for McClaren. He was obviously spent a lot of time rebuilding his reputation after being well out of his depths with England. He comes back to England and gets shafted by a team with big expectations and a refusal to back him. Billy Davies complained for seasons about a lack of financial backing and paid the price for this in the end and the same thing appears to have happened with McClaren. I think I read somewhere that they lost 13 members of their first team squad in the summer and replaced them with 8 others and half of those replacements werent of a similar calibre. If you look at their squad the dont appear to have a true goalscorer there so struggling is hardly a surprise.
