Forest takeover complete

[Miles Away]

Rumours that an announcement will be made at 6pm and it will be O'Driscoll.

Big iconic managerial appointment that .......

No, but probably a better one than some of the "iconic" names mentioned.

 

[M17TT C]

Was he the Ex-Donny manager?

Decent, if not exciting, appointment imo if so. He had them playing some good stuff and bar an awful injury list at the start of last season, they'd probably still be in the championship. Obviosuly if it's not that chap then forget all that!

 

[Matt_B]

Was he the Ex-Donny manager?

Yup, looked a good prospect.

 

[Nottingham Fox]

Was he the Ex-Donny manager?

Yes and spent some time at Forest last season working alongside Cotterill

 

[M17TT C]

Yup, looked a good prospect.

Yeah got to agree on that, see edit above.

The FLORIST

according to auntie beeb O' Driscoll is their new boss, their in deep shite without a paddle or shovel. So much for a high profile manager, I almost feel sorry for them.

Considering some of the names being bandied around I am chuffed to bits. Keanr, Sven & Co were bullets well dodged.

Indeed, could be a very shrewd appointment.

Congrats to Sean O’Driscoll on becoming the new #NFFC manager. Top coach. I can’t remember seeing his Crawley side ever concede a goal.

He's a very good manager, Forest will do ok with him.

Let's hope he can play a bit as well.

As long as he is left to do his job. The Al Hasawi mob might wish to have an influence in things, perhaps a reason my McCarthy didn't take the job.

I wonder if the Arabic trialists will get as much of a chance as our Persian son did a few seasons back http://www.sport360.com/article/nottingham-forest-trialists-hope-do-arab-football-proud

Oh dear oh dear, it sounds as if things are already turning sour. O'Driscoll will not have any say in transfer dealings, instead the owners will bring over players from Kuwait and UAE. On top of this Gianni Paladini claims to have a signed document stating he would be appointed Chairman once the take over went through. He's planning legal action against the owners.

Hopefully all of the above is true
