Confirmed: Ross Wilson joins Nottingham Forest

Id take Overmars from Antwerp, he was sacked from Ajax for sexting women but traditionally shaggers have done well for us so why not.

I'd let Beale be his own man, he's already shown this is where he wants to be, looks like hes in this for the long term, and as much as it pains me to say it, having one man with a broad remit is working relatively well for the bheggars.

I wonder if any of our lads will end up in Nottingham, after, of course, he has reduced the playing staff numbers, which may well be his 1st task.

This is easy to do in hindsight but I remember reading bits and pieces from Southampton fans, and they were delighted he was leaving them to join us. Do we really even need a DoF? We never used to have any such position 

Football departments are too complex to be left to a manager. 

 

Every elite side in world football has one.

Three years old, but still informative:

I'm more than willing to concede that we've not had the success with our DoF that we want, but to think of ripping up the model is ludicrous to me; it'll set our club back years.

I wouldn't be unhappy to see him go BUT the timing isn't good.  I would imagine we are well along the path of recruiting players for summer signings.  I know that sounds contradictory but I don't know enough of what goes on behind the scenes or how much say he has in signings.   I just feel we've made too many poor buys and need to do better.

I suspect the plans are all in place, but clearly someone else will need to take over negotiations, etc.

But what if the someone else doesn’t like the new players coming in

The plans will already be in place. 

 

Anyone new won't be able to rip it up at the 11th hour.
