Would you rather have GoN or NES?
Impressed that Forest won the World Cup even with the u 17s
Interesting listening to Stuart Pearce on Talksport. He had a lot of sympathy and respect for Cooper who did a great job in often difficult circumstances including having to manage a large squad. Which got me thinking, Nuno prefers to work with a small squad.
Indeed but he also didn't help himself going to Saudi and subsequently getting sacked in his second season.Judging by online discourse today, especially from other teams, it's sad to see how low Nuno's reputation is amongst other supporters. We had three unforgettable seasons, and the lows are the end were far from the worst times. The Spurs story should be a footnote but because of the TV bias it's likely all some people remember.
I don't think he'll push Forest on without investment, and feel this appointment will make him a 'managerial merry go round' type manager when he's much more than that.
Really?. why?Sorry, but I hope he sinks without trace at Forest.
1. I am a Wolves fan. 2. I can't stand Forest. 3. I wish ill to all clubs that are our immediate rivals for staying up and celebrate whenever they lose.Really?. why?
seems very harsh.
What has Morgan got to do with Nuno?There is no doubt that Nuno was a hero for what he did for us, he was very much a unifying force pulling together a lot of threads to make one truly memorable few years. So he will forever be a legend here.
However, I doubt Nuno has changed his character or playing philosophy much. I can see tension between Nuno and their owner, he likes a small squad, and he is going to want money to spend with his mate uncle Jorge. I haven't looked, but you would think they may have to be careful with FFP?
I love the man for what he achieved with us, but there is no saying all those stars will align again at Forrest.
I think Nuno may well be one of those managers who has a single major success and can never replicate it again - partly why I wouldn't want him back here to tarnish the legacy.
I wish him well, but have never been a fan of Forrest. And to be honest we may well be relegation rivals next season if not this.
I wonder what Morgan thinks of it, didn't they have a bad relationship - or am I dreaming that?

Tbf he got us drilled and playing Nunoball by the Leicester home friendly which was what, 6 weeks? I’ve never bought the argument a manager needs time to impose his ideas ever since.Not sure Nuno is a mid-season appointment type manager.
He’s so drilled in what he wants his players to do that he needs time to get this imposed.
Brilliant manager though, love the bloke, and would have him back in a heartbeat if O’Neil left.
Also, personally I found the football very entertaining for at least 80% of his time here.
Not sure if he’ll be delighted to be reunited with MGW though.
Sorry! I thought you meant Steve Morgan, who had sold the club before Nuno's arrival. You meant MGW!I was thinking about Morgan Gibbs-White. He wanted to go to Forrest because of their manager, I thought I heard that Gibbs-White didn't see eye to eye with Nuno?
After winning the double in his first season. They were sixth when he was sacked.Indeed but he also didn't help himself going to Saudi and subsequently getting sacked in his second season.
Didn’t get on with Benzimar according to reports and we all know from his last season at Wolves he can be a moody fella.Indeed but he also didn't help himself going to Saudi and subsequently getting sacked in his second season.
He'll do ok there . Clubs like like Wolves and Forest are merely looking to stay in the division this season . FFP rules etc .Sorry, but I hope he sinks without trace at Forest.
Curious for that one myself. And similar for Boly, I suppose, though I don't think he had any falling out with Nuno.I wonder what Morgan thinks of it, didn't they have a bad relationship - or am I dreaming that?
Shut-up, no way. That's a dodgy birth certificate if true.The most shocking thing about all this is finding out that Steve Cooper is 44!
Not sure, but he has been baptized.Has he been confirmed?
Yet other total fraud managers are loved, makes zero sense doesn't it.Judging by online discourse today, especially from other teams, it's sad to see how low Nuno's reputation is amongst other supporters.

What Willy Boly said about Nuno's training in 2020 is now very interesting
This should tell us what to expect from the manager reported to be replacing Steve Cooper.www.nottinghamforest.news
I think he is mad to take that job. Their owner is a madman.
Tbh, i still think he lost part of himself through Covid and the Raul injury and he's never been the same since. The spark in him went and i dont think its going to come back sadly.
Don’t let the fact that Cooper is a snarky little git blind you to his achievements at Forest. From relegation candidates to promotion, League Cup semi final and then kept them up. I can see why Forest fans love him and in such a situation the replacement manager will always have to win over the fans and I doubt it will be plain sailing for Nuno."Nuno has big shoes to fill, in Cooper"
**** Off

The return of Robin Hood to the Forest of Notts.Think Nuno has plenty of strings to his bow tactically, his 343/352 was just designed to make the most of the players he had available at Wolves.

Don’t forget Nuno was helped out rather generously too. We had no right to the likes of Neves, Jota and Boly in the Championship. Not running Nuno down, I love him but in his own way Cooper will have similar status amongst Forest fans.Yes, but nothing compared to Nuno's achievement with us. Fa Semi, Uefa quarter, stroming the Championship and 2 7th places... all on a much smaller budget than Cooper.
Did well on the Champ, but helped out alot with U21 loans, similar with lampard and the Chelsea loanees.
