From a Forest supporting mate..
"Love him. COVID was his downfall. He started the Forest renaissance. But then when the season restarted it all went wrong, no fans etc. He's very well regarded by the Forest fans"
Football wise, same mate says he plays "Classic Forest counter attack. Fast paced counters"
Sounds promising at least.
That's greatQuote:

This. He played just over a hundred games. He was committed. I'll give him that. But nowhere near a club legend for me.Quote:

Well he is for me and many othersQuote:

Could have sworn I saw him coming on as a sub for Forest this season, clearly not.Quote:

Well we know that they are not managers but they might be good coachesQuote:

"High" profile job that!Quote:

You and City123 would find a way to suck all the enjoyment out of winning the lottery.Quote:

He hates the Swansea, he hates the Bristol
The man is just magic
Cheers. I wasn't aware tbh (especially of the aldi connection)Quote:

No idea if this will be a good appointment or not but if hes agreed to come then I would have thought much needed improvements on the playing side are on the way as well.
If we can do similar business like last January then we are in with a chance.
He would be our first ever French manager and only the second overseas manager at CCFC (excluding Ireland) I believe.
I must admit, I am reserving judgement and not getting overly excited till blue lewj lets us know that Tan has played a blinder here and this is a great appointment :thumbup:
This 100%Quote:

Unusual amount of cautious optimism on this board about this (possible) hire. I will balance it out by saying we'll be relegated if these moves happen.
Believe me, I know how to enjoy life. For me, Bamba is not a City legend. It's just my opinion. If you want him to be a legend that's up to you. Why should you care that others disagree?Quote:

I don’t know too much about other football teams, but I know that “everybody loves parfait” so that’s good enough for me.Quote:

Hopefully this is a turning point on and off the field. Onwards and upwards.
Lamouchi made use of a fair few young players when he was at Forest - Worrall, Cash & Yates were all in their early 20s and played plenty of games. He gave games to teenagers Alex Mighten & Brennan Johnson as well, so clearly has trust in younger players which is a good thing
Forest were a real mess before he turned up, I think I read he was the first manager to last a full season there in 9 years? It all went wrong at the end but he clearly did a good job
Really? In 2018/19 under Karanka and then O'Neill, Forest finished 9th in the Championship on 66 points. In 2019/20 under Lamouchi, they finished 7th on 70 points. Hardly an earth-shattering improvement. They were bottom of the table on zero points after four games (and had been knocked out of the League Cup) when he was sacked in October 2020, having scored just one goal in five matches.Quote:

Who knows, he may do well here and I hope he does after the garbage we've witnessed in recent seasons, but there's nothing on his CV that makes me confident he will.
His Forest side in 2019/20 were indeed solid defensively. Only four sides (Leeds, West Brom, Brentford and Fulham, who finished as the top four in that order) conceded fewer goals.Quote:

Bamba. The past, present and future.Quote:
