Gary Megson - In or Out
We can't say we weren't warned.
When Gary Megson first came to the club, Brian Clough famously said he "... couldn't trap a bag of sand.". I saw him play for Forest in a friendly against New Zealand, and poor didn't quite sum up his performance.
Fast forward 20 years and Gary Megson once again arrives at the City Ground to find a Forest track-suit imprinted with his initials. No Brian Clough to pass judgement any more, just dozens of West Brom fans falling over themselves with the same message:
He'll get you results, but it won't be pretty.
There are two school of thoughts among Forest fans, those that want results regardless of the style of football (who would have loved Dave Bassett's time in charge) and those who would like to see Forest safe from relegation playing nice passing triangles, Paul Hart but with goals.
Unfortunately, too many times this season, Forest have played badly and lost.
I still think Megson is a good manager, and the problems with the players at the club remain obvious but well hidden. However, if we aren't pushing for promotion soon, the anti-Megson brigade will gain momentum forcing the man out.
I hope not, for now.
