Pearce gone / Freedman appointed at Forest

[Mackenzie]

The only football manager who makes me feel itchy. I wonder if his contract stretches to a couple of bottles of medicated shampoo.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Not surprised Pearce went, don't think anyone is, I don't rate him as a manager for seniors, but cimpletely shocked they've gone for Freedman. Couldn't give a toss for his Palace connections, what evidence is there he'd do a job there.

Can only see them sliding more unless he spends and I thought they'd already done that.

I like this offering from Bridgford_71 on the Forest forum:

'Took a Bolton side full of prem quality down to the bottom. They are only just recovering.
Also publicly slagged us off last season for our spending saying he hopes FFP take action.
Well they did Dougie, and you are inheriting it. Welcome to Nottingham Forest'.

 

[Del Fenner]

Why do people keep hiring Dougie "I'm a godamn failure" Freedman?

It baffles me.

And me.

I don't think that he's a complete failure though. He was very astute with player acquisition and development at Palace. How well he did in these aspects at Bolton probably remains to be seen.

The Chief Exec Paul Faulkner has resigned.

Nottingham Forest chief executive Paul Faulkner has resigned less than 24 hours after Stuart Pearce was sacked as manager, BBC Nottingham Sport reports.
Faulkner had only been in the role for five months, having officially taken over at the start of September 2014.
The former Aston Villa chief executive has been placed on gardening leave, but the club are yet to confirm his exit.

Hopefully their shambolic state carries on until the weekend!

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Ha!

Please let this happen.

Hopefully Lua Lua/Tex can tear him yet ANOTHER ********, to go with the one Buckley did.

Unfortunately it can't happen this weekend as Harding is on a half season loan. However the silver lining is that he should be playing against us in the middle of March when we face Millwall.

...two or three days after Millwall have sacked Holloway, no doubt

No 'new manager effect' with Freedman,put your shirt on an Albion victory (5/4 is best I've seen).

Quick everybody , go and put a quid on Sami to be the next Forest manager and he'll be 1/5 shortly

[AlbionPics&SouthCoastTwit]

"Wow. The term 'disillusioned' just doesnt seem strong enough to explain how I feel right now"

"Unreal. freedman out."

"Jesus H. Christ"

"FFS"

"Just when it cannot get any more disappointing...."

And that's the first few posts

This one is brilliant!

Re: Freedman new manager

Pearce 38% win rate

Freedman 34% win rate.

It is a joke right?
