Although we were not given an opportunity to vote in our leader, despite our differing views and perhaps even divisions, I hope that we can all unite behind them and what they are trying to achieve for us. The last thing we need is to keep chopping and changing.

What we need now is strong and stable leadership, and I believe that they will be able to provide this. There may need to be a re-shuffle within the leadership team and time will tell who is tasked to support them over the challenging months ahead.

For far too long we have been in this malaise and it has not gone unnoticed that our near neighbours seem to have enjoyed seeing us suffer. We cannot change our neighbours, geography is what it is, but perhaps in time we can demonstrate to them once again just how great we are. In any case, they haven't been that great either!

There has been significant trade with our neighbours over the years in both directions, and there is no reason that this cannot continue in some form in the years ahead. We don't have to like them to do business with them as long as it is on terms agreeable to us. Let's face it, they have done very well out of us over the years and dare I say it; we have bailed them out of a hole or two.

There have been many complaints about our problematic back-stopper, which I am sure our leader will give much thought to. We do definitely need a back-stopper in case things aren't going too well, but perhaps the current one can be replaced by another that is able to achieve what is required.

Whatever your thoughts on Europe, it has been important to us over the years and I for one do not want to say goodbye to it forever. We have enjoyed many happy times in Europe's embrace in the past and although our ties to it have deteriorated terribly, I hope that we are able rejoin European affairs in the not too distant future and be welcomed back with open arms. How nice it would be to have the freedom and opportunity to revisit such wonderful cities as Munich and Madrid.

Our successful presence on the European stage earned us respect and admiration, not just in Europe, but around the world, and I for one look forward to the day that this returns!

COYR.

I will support Martin. Loved here by all but I do think he is past his best. Keane will upset everyone and it will end in tears. I wanted Jokanovic but hope I am wrong.

Karanka upset more than a few,Worrall,Clough,ward,bridcutt,Yates,appiah,Smith,walker,Watson,and a few more will be glad to see the back of him.
Think Keane has learnt from Martin and will install confidence and discipline in the players,something that's been lacking.

799, I bet even Keane's dog does not like him, he seems to have not learned from any of his mistakes let alone anything off Martin. 🤣

According to Colback in an interview Keane was never afraid to rip into people when they played badly but was really encouraging and positive when you played well which made players want to always play well and avoid his Raith!
Not a bad thing in my eyes!!!

RR, Different people react in different ways to to those antics. A rollicking needs to be handed out every now and then to be be effective, not on a regular basis.

Keane’s dog looks very attached to his master from what I’ve seen.

2star, If you call a lead being attached to its collar at one end and the other end being in Keane's hand then yes very attached. 🤣

Still not sure if the original post is about Forest or Brexit.

Great post though.

We are not in crisis we have an experienced manager at the helm.

The squad shortcomings are still the same and most of the players on the upset list are not good enough except maybe our academy players who should now get a go before we recruit?

Free hit on Saturday so handbrake off, smiley faces, 3 points and a few goals please?

Please can we stop this negativity and harping back it's happened, he's gone, The King is Dead Long Live The King! 😁😁😁😁👍
