Lamouchi appointed

Re: Lamouchi appointed

It was a very decent press conference for goodness sake....what do you expect apart from platitudes? His and Bamba's task now is to instil some CONFIDENCE and BELIEF into the team.....they ARE better than where they are...

A good omen...(?) Appointed on the day of my little one's fourth birthday!!!

Re: Lamouchi appointed

Having fallen out with his chairman in Qatar and not coaching for 17 months, I'd say the only reason he could be sniffy about managing at that level would be the Qatari money he banked.

His press conference was all over the place.

Rubbish.

Re: Lamouchi appointed

"We need confidence."
"I’m never confident and don’t want to be confident."
"Where we are is not our position."
"This is with confidence. I am not confident. But I know when players play without confidence they are not playing to their level."
"Only after hard work we will maybe have a positive result."


Bonkers and that's without his constant references to "massive club".

I'm sure that he apologises for not having English as a first language

Having just finished watching the full press conference, I thought that he spoke very well. I felt that he was calm and measured and spoke with honesty. Now we need to let the man do his job and support him. Great to see Sol along side him in so much as Sol has a genuine affinity for the club and clearly has good relations with the board. I have no idea if he is a good coach but if Lamouchi wants him then I defer to him. I genuinely feared that VT was looking to avoid appointing a manager until after the transfer window had closed, so I am pleased that we finally have a manager in, and hopefully they may be able to work together in the next days on a surprise late addition to the squad, over and above any deals that were already in the offing. Like most, I knew Lamouchi only by name and have no idea about his qualities, but it is interesting that he appears to be held in such high regard by the Forest fans, and also interesting to note that he did not want to speak about his style of football, rather he will adapt to the players at his disposal. Good luck to both he and Sol.

Is it just me, or is anyone else reading that Wales Online transcript and imagining it's Borat saying it?

Apologies, it's probably just me

For reference, Forest fans wanted Cooper out the season he took them up
For further reference, Forest bottled it under Lamouchi - having been in playoff spot all season, choked at the end.

Adapt to the players?

Precisely what style suits the players we had? Got rid of the more physical players, what style has worked this season?

Like you, I wish him and Bamba good luck. I'm just not as confident as you are.

Logic would indicate that you’ve lost it.

"Adapt to the players?"

Of course he has to adapt to the players he has inherited....he cannot change things overnight. He has to adapt tactics to his perception of player's strengths and weaknesses....that is pretty basic, and LOGICAL.

Re: Lamouchi appointed

In fairness, you don’t need any stats where Watters is concerned. You’ve only got to look at him.

Very true, whoever scouted him should never work in football again.

Re: Lamouchi appointed

I really want him to do well, for both himself and us.

The majority of managers over the last decade have been uninspiring. There is something here that is positively different and I really hope he makes a success of his time at the club.

[D. Advocaat]

Re: Lamouchi appointed

Definitely a positive appointment.With the embargo lifted, a new manager in place lets hope he can pull things together and get a couple of signings in.

Re: Lamouchi appointed

Here’s a story bout Sabri Lamouchi, he was a low down hoochie coochie - he went down to the Grange town and showed us how to kick the ball around....hi di hi di hi di hi.
