Kenny Burns quoted as saying Forest held talks with Pearson, Fawaz dithered and Pearson took the Derby job 😡😡.

What if Fawaz has in his opinion has a better option than Pearson, perhaps someone that's Managing a team in the Euros in France this summer. It would explain why he did not grab Pearson when he had the chance. If we get the right man in the wait will be worth it.

Or possibly Fawaz and Pearson spoke, and Fawaz decided he wasn't going to offer the job to him.

Many people believe Pearson would have been a job appointment, perhaps Fawaz and Marinakis are not amongst them.

Just because the powers that be at Forest make a different decision than Kenny Burns might, it doesn't make them wrong. That said, it doesn't make them right either but theirs is the only opnion that actually matters.

That's what I was hoping Ilkeston Red. so fed up with this waiting! . apart from work, even the "fork and Knife" has ran out of things for me to do! In Fawaz We Must!

The only thing that's keeping me sane ATM, is the superb weather! Fawaz isn't even tweeting his Cryptics anymore. there is either a great coup in the pipeline, or at this stage, I'm fearing a big let down on the cards. really hope I'm wrong
😕😕😕.

Agree with bsered.
Unlikely that we are in for a Euro 16 manager. Only Martin O'Neill is remotely possible and I can see us ending us ending up with Keane with MON as DOF before MON as a full time manager.

There's a lot a good managers out there. A lot have been taken but still a good handful left Martinez anyone?

bsered. I have just asked a question, not predicted anything nor seen any pigs flying. Fawaz is playing his cards close to his chest. It could be for any number of reasons. It's just Fawaz said he was speaking to two managers with Nottingham connections, Pearson would appear to be 1, Some people thought the other was Martin Hugh Michael O'Neill. IF we can believe what has been said strangely Fawaz did not take up the option to speak to Pearson further. Leaving us wondering is there any chance Martin could be at the City Ground after the Euros. There has been loads of Hype in the press linking us to every available manager possible. As Forest are out of the FFP with the possibility of further investment coming in. I could see us attract someone like O'Neill if he gives up international management. I can't see him getting a premiership team. So why not Forest?

Don't know if I'm reading to much into the announcement of a pre season friendly at Grantham, MON first managerial club.

The minority who have continually slated the owner have made him apathetic towards us all.

He now feels he owes us nothing and therefore gives us nothing.

Never mind though we've still got our local rag and the washed out stars who played for us decades ago providing us with all the information and comment that we need.

Of course our former stars want the best for us provided that it's a system that means their paymaster can print their drivel journalism and sell it as breaking rumour rather than yesterday's drivel.

I would like to personally thank FAH for trying to turn the already rotten club around that when he purchased was just about managing to still dine out on past glories.

Those dreaming sweet dreams that we have somehow found the diversion end sign soon to rejoin the road of the elite carry on dreaming.

Look no further than the previous regime for the reasons why we are terminally ill. Sadly, FAH despite trying, didn't have the skill or seemingly the wealth to provide the major surgery and the hug end after care we need.

It seems pretty obvious to me that Forest have wanted Martyn O'neill since the beginning and are happy to wait. It also seems obvious to me that Martyn O'neill is pretty keen too. If he wasn't he'd have distanced himself or signed the contract that is on the table from the Irish. Even those closest to O'neill have implied that it might be on the cards. John Robertson speaks to him regularly, and when asked, suggested that it was worth Forest making an approach nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Forget all the other names mentioned. We're waiting for Martin O'neill, and I believe he'll be with us in two - three weeks from now.

IF O'Neil is announced as next manager, the city ground will have to open up a humble pie shop next to the ground for the majority of supporters that think it won't happen. M

Forget sources and links, I am under the impression him and some of his back room staff (Steve Walford and Gary Parker) as well as a role for another ex player to join the club in some capacity (John Robertson) has already been agreed in principal but is not going to be announced until after Republic of Ireland exit.

Think of this what you will, rumour, fact, fabrication? But just remember those names and come June 24th when Martin O'Neil steps down, we still don't have a manager and everyone jusmped on the band wagon, just remember to come on here and apologise to a few of the people that have had abuse of serguesting it back in April!

Well Mystic Red, let's hope the wait is worth it all and your prediction comes to fruition.
