Edit: David Martindale has ruled himself out.

Good. Not a terrible manager by any means, but have seen nothing to suggest he'd be an improvement.

The last man we need at the helm is Billy Davies. He went full tinfoil hat in his last few jobs and has a track record of falling out with the board. And as per Wikipedia, it was even worse than I remember at the time:

Davies' second spell proved to be a controversial and damaging one.He dismissed long-serving club staff without explanation, shouted at a photographer taking photos for the club's matchday programme after a match at Millwall, banned journalists as part of a "near media blackout", and employed his cousin, Jim Price, a suspended solicitor, as his closest advisor.

After an eight-game winless run left Nottingham Forest one place and two points outside of the play-off positions, and having seen his side lose 5–0 to local rivals Derby County two days earlier, Davies was dismissed on 24 March 2014. A statement on Forest's website read simply: "Nottingham Forest Football Club have confirmed the termination of manager Billy Davies' employment.

Louise Taylor of The Guardian pointed to Davies' "paranoia", "self-destructive insecurities" and "obsession with conspiracy theories and old grudges" as the reasons behind his downfall, suggesting that he had "shattered" his reputation. The Daily Telegraph's John Percy, who was one of a number of reporters who were "accused of being in league with his former employers" for questioning decisions Davies made, said that Davies was "destined for failure" because he was "obsessed" with conspiracies and hidden agendas. He pointed to the "huge funds" Davies was given to get Forest promoted and suggested that he "could have got away with" the "unsavoury" behaviour, had Forest been winning.John Payne of The Metro said that Davies owed the Forest fans an apology for his behaviour after failing to acknowledge them at the end of the defeat to Derby and "insulted fans' intelligence" by refusing to answer straight questions on the rare occasion he gave press interviews.

But think of the players he could sign? I’m positive John Spencer is available (as long as we can give him a £100k car)and I believe he has a brother John Davies who could fill in for Lennon miller.

yeah…… it’s a hard NO for me bring back that lunatic Davies.

I don’t think for a minute we will be seriously considering Billy Davies despite what the media says

Can just imagine the reaction by some , a bit like when Mark McGhee came back

Ryan Lowe, Steven Schumacher, Ian Evatt, Van Der Gaag or the random mad Swede who appeared on the bookies list from nowhere please.

Given he has been out of the game for over a decade, it is a complete non-starter.
