Hello 'Well fans, As you may have heard, we've installed Billy Davies as our new manager. A lot of Forest fans are underwhelmed, a bit worried about his reputation for falling out with players and for the style of play of his Derby team (Steve Howard et al). I think this is possibly an overreaction on the part of these fans - they're worried he's going to be another Gary Megson, whose dystopian interpretation of the game was disastrous for the club. As I understand it, Davies was a not long ball man when at Preston. I'm interested to know about his earlier days as a manager. I know he took you into Europe but that quite a bit was spent on transfer fees and wages and that you went into administration not longer after he left. What do you think we can expect, personality-wise and in terms of the style of football? Looks like you are struggling a bit this season. Hope you are still a Premier league club for the rest of 2009.
