Stuart Pearce and Forset

Perhaps we could snap up a player or two when their embargo hits.

Matty Fryatt would be my choice.

I was watching a Premier League review of the late 90's earlier - it reminded me that he was caretaker manager of them for a while back then...he got them relegated.

Maybe this was all part of the recruitment masterplan?

Forest have the sort of Board that sack managers with ease, and their fan-base seem to get disillusioned quickly - Pearce's job must be hanging on a thread.

According to BBC match stats, Fulham had 32 attempts on goal against Blackpool's 7. Luckily for us and our league position, Fulham couldn't find that third goal winner.

I said on here a few months ago that i thought Pearce would die on his arse with Forest this season. Though i'm amazed it has transpired so quickly.

The fans will cut him a bit more slack than anyone else........wonder for how long though.......

Psycho does not seem like a good nic name for someone who is trying to be a responcible, clever football manager.

That's not how I remeber it I thought he took over at Christmas and left in March - they did get relegated but not with Pearce at the helm.

I know I am being pedantic but I do agree that he is a very average manager - at best

Our draw up there was not a good result, really should have got all three against a team managed by Pearce.

They were top at the time and unbeaten; they haven't won since and have lost 4 (I think). I'd like to think that we started the slide.

I spoke to a few Forest fans up there on the day, they all seemed to think that they'd been very lucky in the games they'd played and were in a false position.
Also the only positive thing they could say about SP was that they preferred him to Billy Davies.

I'm not sure that the return of a playing hero to a club is really good idea, this one was always going to end in tears on the basis that he's patently a crap manager. Colin Todd, Roy MacFarland, John Gregory all left their manager's job at Derby with their reputation sullied to some extent. Same with Our Nigel in a sense, emotionally you wanted it to work but management more often than not, ends in failure. Like the high jump really.

Thought from the start that this was an appointment with the heart, not the head. Pearce has no real track record to speak of, and it felt like the Forest chairman was simply hoping that a wave of Psycho-related enthusiasm would be enough to sweep the club irresistibly to promotion.

Even when they started well this season I said I'd be interested to see how Pearce copes when they don't win for a few games. We seem to be finding out the answer to that now.

Shame for him if his Forest legend gets tarnished. That said, few people will be disappointed to see the FFP-disregarding club fail in their objectives.

As much as our last 3 managerial appointments though?

They WOULD have said that THEN about SP.

Not sure how that's relevant really, I just meant that giving Pearce that job would be like us appointing Steve Foster or Ian Chapman, someone like that.

Their affection to the guy is blinding them to his possible inadequacies. Poyet/Garcia/ Hyypia weren't appointed for the same reason.

Only relevant in that we've not been appointing managers with proven track records - that seemed to be your own starting point. Had Steve or Ian had experience at coaching/managing at ManCity, then with the England team and England U21's - they would have been viable options ahead of Sami wouldn't they?

We were both correct. Who'd have funked it? I might have been a few minutes ahead with my prediction but i won't hold that against you
