Lars doesn't have a bird account. Was confirmed by an Excelsior (sp?) bird account. We'll just have to wait for a Fawaz or Emad comment
I believe Fawaz mentioned from the moment he took over Forest that he wanted the success to be built around the development of youth. Some where along the lines it fell a little by the wayside but I'm glad he's back with greater emphasis on youth development. A lot of said Fawaz doesn't know what he's doing etc. but this highlights that effectively he does. He was running two strategies side by side with the youth work going on behind the scenes whilst Billy went for the big signings.
Whatever happens, it feels like we've got our Forest back. I can't wait for next season.

Fawaz has said from day one that youth will be important to the club as a way of maintaining a sustainable future. One big concern is that as Gary Brazil has already mentioned, the production line from the academy is NOT AS STRONG as previously. It will take a number of years before it begins to pick up and fingers crossed we'll get CAT A rating too. So the best option is to spot those gems in the lower leagues like Pato. Issue I have is that Billy is all about buying ready made players. Pato was signed due to NED having been his manager at Walsall and having close hand knowledge. Fawaz is building for the future - we need better scouting and hopefully the development squad will continue to strengthen.

{Ed034's Note - he was the assistant manager for nine days. He may have suggested looking at him, but it was billy who agreed to sign him, so fair play to both.
Best since frank clark? you forgot about Harry Bassett - at least he got us promoted before getting the rug pulled from beneath him

too many people with short memories. Cotternil was getting an absolute barracking by our fans. It was only when SOD was brought in that we started to resemble a team that was able to stave off relegation that season. We were beyond dire under him.
It was the players who asked Fawaz to bring SOD back who had only just gone to Crawley a month earlier.
Short term memories afflicting too many fans
Defensively we're stronger than Watford back then - hobbs, wilson at the heart - plus if we've got the ball they can't score.

Cox was also SOD
