Well guys we now have a manager whose commitment to the cause is beyond question and is prepared to give it his best shot for 18 months. What we know about the man is that if he thinks he cannot deliver he will be the first to acknowledge the fact and move over.

Everyone craves for stability over the longer term so there is now no excuse for fans and owner not to back him to the hilt for the duration as their is very rarely a quick fix in life!

I'm happy to nail my colours to the MON mast for the duration but I have a feeling that the instant gratification brigade will be chirping up after 6, 12 and the remaining games this term if results and performances take time to get on track?

Looking forward to the banter and watching Martin's back from the knife throwers and any Trojan Horses that pop out the stables!

COYR's.

Your post starts extremely well red,thinly veiled tongue in cheek mischief then follows.
I'm with you that the owners have made the right decision all round both with the appointment of Martin and the length of contract bearing in mind we're half way through a season.
I'll nail my colours to the mast along with your.lucky red pants,nice to have you back you old git😁😁😁
Ps this is the real chosen one☝️☝️👍👍🍻🍻🍷🍷

RIE, The way your post is written anyone would take it you think some want any and all managers to fail so they can take pleasure from it.

We all want Martin to succeed, and we all have wanted each and every other manager to succeed before him aswell.

Yes some people that do not like a certain manager will use what they can to try and prove their dislike of that manager is justified, but at no time do they want him to fail.

I'm sure if the manager they have disliked had got the team to be successful they would have been very happy and put their hands up for being wrong.

Every new manager, so Martin is no exception needs time to get the team to play the way he wants them to, but if any performance is not good enough people are entitled to say so, but at the same time those same people will only be wanting the manager to get the team to improve on that bad performance.

Should the team go on a losing run people will get nervous, but again those same people will only be wanting the manager to get the team to improve the results, and again they will be entitled to have their say on what the manager is doing wrong, or what any given player is doing wrong.

All everyone wants to see is a genuine improvement in performances, and for the team to be able to go on runs of winning five or more games on the trot.

Is that asking too much?

LC,
We have had so much dross and hype managing and owning the club combined with Sky and social media that has driven short term unrealistic demands from fans and owners.

This is why we have been in the doldrums for so long and why too many fans are far too quick to make judgement when things do go as they expect given our history.

So yes I do think that there are fans that are conditioned to will failure and change to justify their need for instant gratification immediately we get the going gets tough in the world's competitive league. In life if you have not gone through adversity with a group and a leader and come out the otherside you will never reach your goals.

Forest have not gone on that journey since OBE so it's little wonder we are where we are despite having one or two managers along the way who had they been given 18/24 months backing could have built a successful team.

Martin's appointment has brought us full circle with our most successful period experienced by the current generation of fans so remembering how OBE started he would not have survived today with current fan expectations. The contract template is set for MON to give it his best shot in the spirit of our finest hours. However, it's not rocket science to predict the usual suspects will be on his case immediately the going gets tough which it inevitably will and I'm unconvinced that the owner and his hirings have the bottle to back the manager for the duration if social media turns negative.

Therefore, having nailed my colours to the mast I'm backing "Krankie's Irish Dad" through thick and thin so bring it on let's see a contract out once again and see what happens? 😎🤑😊

A total contradiction from you red, you loved telling us how bad warbo was and his signings and didn't complain when the owners sacked him.
Long post to say something that you actually don't go along with.
We have had good times since cloughie ie, Clark and Bassett and under Billy first time,not all been doom and gloom.

RIE give MON a chance.
Give him 5-6 games then slate him if he doesn't perform.
And the quote Krankies Irish dad. Does that make you Krankies Skype lover? 😂😂😂

I suggest the usual suspects go to spec savers and read properly what I actually said as you are all agreeing with me!
