QuoteHarry would be the clear favourite if they can land him? If not, Mick McCarthy would be the man to get Forest out of the Championship. Mick not Roy being the man to rescue Forest, can it happen?
Forest have some new rich owners and have sacked the current boss Steve Cotterill,
Mick is one of the contenders for the job.

A Championship: 4 years - 8 first teams - 0 financially ruined. First Division '14: 7 first teams.
Opportunity lost for new clubs/regions to join the LoI family.
Seems the Irish chairman of Peterborough Utd, Darragh MacAnthony, reported or threatened to report Forest last week for tapping up Darren Ferguson for the job, so all kinds of Irish angles to this one. Peterborough were confident of naming a signing at the beginning of yesterday, which didn't happen and that isn't helping quell the rumours. Probably just forum/paper talk though. Would be a good job for Mick.

He's a bit of a tool that guy isn't he.
Just seen a report on TH and I think they said Ferguson was the favourite with Mick 3-1
I think Rednapp said he was not interested, but he said that about England too lol.
Here are some of the odds latest.

He can be quite bullish, more so before his property portfolio took a hammering in the last few years. He doesn't speak as much about Peterborough being Permiership bound as used to. I'd say he would do certain things differently if he had it all to do again, but, he is popular with Peterborough supporters. They like him, that said its not that long since they were in League 2 with Big Ron Manager being filmed under Barry Fry so he didn't have massive boots to fill.Originally Posted by Stuttgart88
Interesting. Most bookmakers seem not to taking bets on this only one still going says this.
I do hope it's not Hoddle!!! Keane and Mick in a race for second.
Glenn Hoddle 4/9
Roy Keane 5/2
Mick McCarthy 3
Darren Ferguson 4
There is also a possibility of the Turkish manager who managed their Kuwaiti team - Illava Donner Ke-bab
Or Hammed Itupfield
If Hoddle left the religious rawmaesh behind him I would be inclined to give him a go. He was not doing too bad in the England job until he wrote the dumb book (to pay the alimony) and came out with the religio stuff.
He should come out and say he has lost God and just wants to be one of the boyos !
Except he didnt rate M Owen, who proceeded to score when finally given his chance
True but Owen was only 17 !
Wrong, he was nearly 19 and he only played him in the world cup due to the press and the fact he messed up in the first two games. Owen came on and, sure enough, scored.
You are better briefed than me and to be fair i did not put up to much of a case. Hoddle was doing okay with England though but he has a big ego and was inclined to think he was still a better player than some of his players. Its surprising that he has not managed to get back on the managerial carousel though. You do sometimes worry about Fellas that have been out of the job for a long time (Daglish for example, but I was worried about him after he left Blackburn)
Mick is currently favourite.
Mick McCarthy 4/6 5/4 7/5 6/4 4/6 6/4 4/5 1
Glenn Hoddle 9/4 5/6 6/4 8/11 11/10 6/4 5/2 6/4
Darren Ferguson 9/2 9/2 4 4 9/2 3 3 4
Roy Keane 7 6 9/2 5 2 8 8 7/2
Oil rich club with high ambitions, can't see them going for a traditionally conservative and resourceful manager like Mick.
It will probably be a Glamour candidate.
Mick should try some high heels, Blonde bombshell wig, low cut dress with plenty of cleavage showing.
The way some of these new owners are casting aside existing managers (Cotteril, Dyche)is a bit condescending to the English game. I only wish these managers had salaries on big bucks and get a complete payoff. They probably will get their payoffs and wouldn't it be great if they get an opportunity to bite back.
English coaching standard is dreadful, if they're smart the first thing any owner would do is sack them all in favour of a staff team from a more competent background.
They are not giving the existing managers a chance. Did Zola set the managerial world alight ?
If there was an Irishman at these clubs they would be sacked as well. -
Irishmen are involved in the same coaching circles so are held in the same low standards. Put it this way, if these guys were talented managers/coaches being unfairly disposed of they'd be jumped on by every serious team across Europe. The number of coaches/managers trained and developed within the english system who go on to be successful elsewhere could be counted on one hand in the past 20 years. You might be right about a fair chance but when the precedent is 99% of coaches in that system being muck you can understand why any new chairman would take the decision to employ from better backgrounds, too much money at stake to play the loyalty card that your man is that rare 1% in the bracket.
