Chris Hughton has paid the price for Nottingham Forest's poor start to the season.

He was axed with the team sitting bottom of the Championship table. They lost 2-0 at home to Middlesbrough on Wednesday.

Couldn't see Chris lasting long, rock bottom of Championship and his teams always lack goals.

 

Mind you, Forest have deeper problems and not having given Chris a budget to buy players, was never going to help him.

 

Hope he finds a new challenge , he's one of the nice guys in football.

A lot of my extended family are trees, CH really bombed, nothing much went right, avoided relegation last term, looks a tough ask this, no real inroads made in terms of improving whats already in the squad.

Straight choice between Cooper and Wilder, CW looking a decent  bet to land another tough cookie, but his defensive brand of safety first football not a winner with trees fans whod  like the more attack minded Cooper and expansive type football, John Terrys name up there as well

Ex pro footballers have to give management a try before they join the media if/when they fail, it’s not that bad is it?

A lot of failed managers come on and try and tell us why the teams are losing ect,I like Keane but a poor manager,Neville was the biggest failure as a manager,Souness probably the best pundit managerial wise but at least they tried.

Is there a set of supporters in the land that would prefer safety first to attack minded?

I was a Brian Clough follower, even after he told me to F off following Sunderland losing to the Owls at Hillsborough in a cup match, when I asked him for his autograph. 😳 He was the first of the ‘modern’ managers, he could see things in players that other managers couldn’t, he was the greatest manager that England never had.

Wouldn’t that have been Middlesbrough in 1960?

Leighton James gave me the same response after we’d beat Burnley 4-0 at Bramall Lane in 1978. My mates found it very amusing.
