It's tweeted from @sportchippers & @official_nffc

Apologies Brian, I see it's on the website.

the news should be billys return but not with these clowns

denimjays, no need to appogise, I was a bit blunt with my answer, good news I think.

Good news I think.

Cotterill needs all the help he can get.

I'd like to know if he's happy about it though. It could be A way of getting rid, SOD steps in, Cotterill goes on gardening leave? It's possible.

i agree looks like they might sack sc if we don`t win at least one of the next two games o`driscol will then step in till the end of the season.

great aspirations then from the board if that happens!

That's not actually too bad I suppose, cosidering that we weren't going to get what we wanted/demanded/hoped/prayed for.

NEP saying O'Driscol to be anounced as Director Of Football?

Donny sack him, we make him a director

Certainly looks like the next manager is lined up, surprised you didn't go for him in the first place!

mates with sc so it says on the wedsite they go back a long way

We should of went for him before McClaren. The club knew there was a lot of cost cutting ahead and the limited funds given to McClaren could have been put to better use.

Don't knock Sean too quickly, he may be a boring old fart but you'll see some good football and he is a good manager

No problems with S O D, did a great job at Donny on a limited budget but it would be interesting to see what kind of wage he's on seeing as we can't afford to bring in any players on loan.

everything just seems more mixed up and confusing after this appointment

Albert, not sure I agree with you. I don't think there was the anticipated cost cutting, we were putting good bids in for some decent players and we turned down a good figure for Lee Camp. In a way I think we brought in SM to attract the likes of Maynard, Routledge, Beckford etc (playing for an ex-England manager for many players would be more attractive than playing for BD). SM certainly thought that these were the kind of signings he was going to get.
Then of course we stopped bidding for expensive players, ND citing FFP. I don't think that this was the reason (not coming in for a couple of years), maybe there was some truth in the Chinese takeover - I don't know but (excuse the pun) the goalposts seemed to be moved overnight.

Mate,when ND started talking about FFP and how good our academy youngsters are,I think we all knew cost cutting was comming. It started well before McClaren came to the club.

Albert, don't want to get into a debate about this but SM seemed to think we'd be able to make big signings, ND started talking about FFP just before the season started. When there were reports of £3 million odd bids for Maynard and Beckford plus matching Swansea's bid for Routledge it really seemed like SM was being backed big time. I don't know if FFP was the real reason the big backing stopped but we all know SM was very frustrated and there were rumours (only) that he was going to walk very early into his tenure because of the lack of signings.
Whatever the reasons let's hope we can get out of this mess and get some pride back into our club.

I would have chosen SOD ahead of SC after SM left.

As a coach he has to be better than those SM left behind doesn't he?

If you were a club chairman and JFH came for a job and said I coached Nottingham Forest's strikers for six months, would you give him a job.
