[Archived] Forests new owners

[cravenblue]

Just see Steve cotterill sacked by new owners who only took over the other day. Sounds familiar, hope for forest fans sake they don't go through what we have, wouldn't wish that on anyone

[Hughesy]

The owners are minted, a worry for anyone else's promotion chances surely.

[longsiders1882]

In the end the money will tell but Leicesters owner has spent nearly 60 million so far and that hasn't yet brought the rewards, Forest may find it takes a few seasons before they get their dream, look at QPR etc in the past

[cravenblue]

I suppose it will also depend who they bring in to replace cotterill

Not when you can spin like Shebby and Aggers mate

New players will be important obviously, however the managerial appointment will be key to their future success.

[Puffsan]

The new forest owner is a big fan of Neil warnock I have heard. Big difference from Steve kean

[Ricky]

They've also just cancelled their tour of the US and 3 friendlies they were due to play out there.

[DaveyB]

I've heard that Mick McCarthy is hot favourite to land that job

[DE.]

Our Steve must be a candidate, was on the shortlist for manager of the year last season according to the media.

[pick32]

Darren ferguson is favourite followed by McCarthy then keane

Go on Steve, you know it is the job for you!

Forest have wealthy new owners to back you in the transfer market, and it would exciting times ahead. The salary on offer is bound to be higher than at Ewood too!

You know you'd be certainty if you applied, after all, Harry, Alex etc all said what a marvellous job you were doing last season, and you know you were robbed of that Manager of the Season award.

Just think, the commute from Surrey would be much easier to Nottingham than it is to Blackburn.

Only one obstacle though - Forest's new owner will never pay compensation to poach a manager from another club, and all the rivals for the job are unattached.

Perhaps there is a solution though. If you were to RESIGN, everyone (even perhaps the 1% who protest against you) would say how dignified you were and how you were much too good for Blackburn anyway, and you'd be free to take over the reigns at Nottingham Forest.

A positive result all round!

If there was ever any use of this 'promised' fund by the group trying to buy the club - use it to pay off Kean's contract, leaving him free to join Forest or whoever else would be stupid enough to take the bald chancer.

[John]

Their new owners are taking a pretty big game, interesting to see what they do.

[booth]

News just in... Vinjay has already bought a shirt.

[Relegation]

Steve kean of Nottingham

Nice ring to it, no?

[Athlete]

the new Forest owners have done a meet and greet with the fans today , had pics with fans etc..

[John]

In their press conference the other day, Forest new owners said they were being advised (have got consultants) on football matters - wonder who they are using......whoever it is has suggested an experienced manager to take over.

using an experienced manager not the cones + bibs man cos he has a certain agent

[ChrisyG]

McCarthy has apparently turned the job down, after meeting the owners.

"McCarthy had sought reassurances that he would have autonomy when it came to the management of the club and their activity in the transfer market."

Hmmm, agents involved?

I saw a quote the other day from Briatore who said that if you are a billionaire who wants to become a millionaire or a millionaire who wants to be broke buy a football club

Shrewd bit of business, I reckon.
