Appears he is just on a 3 month deal so shows they are not that daft after all!
Nottingham Forest manager Dougie Freedman only has a three-month contract with the Championship side, reports BBC Radio Nottingham.
The Scot, 40, was appointed as Stuart Pearce's successor in early February and said he was on an 18-month deal.
But Reds owner Fawaz Al Hasawi said: "We signed only for three months and in the end we will decide for both of us if he will continue for next season.
"But to be honest, he wanted it to be like this, that we sign three months."
Al Hasawi said his relationship with the former Crystal Palace and Bolton boss was good and that the contract situation will be reviewed in May.
Forest are unbeaten under Freedman, winning their first two games under him and then drawing at Blackpool on Saturday.
Al Hasawi said he had been impressed and hoped his manager would remain at the City Ground next season.
Al Hasawi continued: "He said to me 'Fawaz, we're going to work with each other and then you're going to tell me if you really like my work'.
"I'm talking on a daily basis with him on the phone. It seems like he's doing a good job and I would like him to stay. I would like to see good results for Forest. This is the most important thing to me."
Al Hasawi also revealed that Forest legend Pearce could still have a role with the club in the future, despite turning down the chance to stay in an alternative role after his dismissal.
The Reds chairman said Pearce, 52, was reluctant to be seen to be interfering, adding: "I told Stuart to stick around to be a consultant or an advisor at the club.
"I told him about his role. He came back to me and he said 'Fawaz, I've thought about it and I've decided not to take this job now, maybe later on'."
