Dusty bin was a cunt - why would he have a clue :D

You're having fun with this aren't you.

Kind of :D

The concensus from the inside on the order of preference is the following

1) Calderwood (Forest are being cunts)
2) Money
3) Speed

Your inside or the clubs?

People inside

Of course with £50 on it it would suit me too...

You or the club?

why are forest being cunts?!

it's a win win situation for them. saves them having to pay compo. instead they get rid and receive compo

It's about how much compo though... I would guess they are gambling on how desperate we are to have Calderwood

Are your insiders telling you that Forest are holding someone they will sack sooner rather than later to ransom?

Quite shrewd money grabbing by their chairman, I wish ours would've done the same when Ken Bates arrives for his once a decade visit :)

anything has got to be better than having to pay him off when they sack him surely

Exactly, we'd be praising our board if they did the same.

If this is indeed fact, I can see such a deal falling through - or certainly not happening today.

Me thinks Triseros is going to have a very happy Xmas....

what have you heard Luci

If we're that desperate for CC, then i say we wait until they sack him, let them pay compo then get him for free. That's the best way if they wanna be cunts about it. Although i'm of course forgetting that they're far more deluded than most clubs, Leeds included, and remembering their premiership quality, really should be pushing clubs like us around.

Im just stirring!  I haven't a clue really!

If Colin Calderwood is indeed "the man"....

Isn't it kind of embarressing being a struggling Championship club and losing their manager to a struggling League One outfit? Regardless of history.

Not if they were in the process of consigning him to the (dusty) bin anyway.

I hope it will be a nice bump to the ground for Forest fans if true - not such a "huge club" after all.

True.

Nigel Doughty has stood by Colin Calderwood for some time... He didn't sack him when it was the popular, yet indeed expensive, option (many wanted CC out after the Yeovil play-offs loss) it's understandable to want money.

Forest fan in peace.

 Some of your lads been over on our forum,  http://www.forestforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=30254.180  Mr Calderwood will not be leaving in the immediate future.
This is a fact.
Not such a huge Club, but still a quality one. Interested to read on here that "all Forest fans" were calling for his head on Sat. The camp is divided, with the sensible ones still believing he will turn it around. Continuity, I feel is what our Chairman is after.

 :banthem:  please.





Only kidding, nice of you to pop over red-dawg, just to humour me/us, let's say you've got it wrong and CC was to come to our CG, what do you think of his style of management/football? 

I think, like most rational fans, I'm concerned about our position but not so much about the way we play.
I cannot think of anyone who I would welcome with open arms to replace him, so on balance I guess I would be disappointed if he left.
Incidentally he comes across as a really nice bloke, irrespective of anything else.

That do?  ;D

Yeah that's good enough RD!  Cheers fella.

Trouble is then you can end up with the situation where the terms of the pay-off restrict taking another league job within a certain time frame (how Peter Taylor ended up at Stevenage). Then there still ends up being a negotiation with Forest but without Swindon having to be around the table.

Better to get it sorted up front if you ask me.

Isn't it also true that CC is on a rolling contract at Forest?

Meaning all this talk of huge amounts of compensation being the stumbling block, is a load of bollocks?

Aye a one year rolling contract according to the experts at google.

Clearly we won't be able to steal him if Forest want to keep him. I thought his sacking was an inevitability hence we had a chance, but maybe not given the above.
