I thought I'd have a quick glance at the reaction to Dougie Freedman on the Forest forums. It wasn't pretty.
The Forest fans are hit with the news that ex-Bolton boss Dougie Freedman is now their manager.
Alf-Hasawi gets in early:
Tom has a bad feeling:
Trust me Sedgred, it can get a LOT more disappointing!
Many Bolton fans shared Stockers point of view when Dougie was installed as Bolton manager. They soon woke up:
Francis Benali is already looking ahead:
There's one stato on every forum:
Most Forest fans are too stunned to type many words:
James is extra stunned:
I think Ravi has his tongue firmly in his cheek. Or he's a total bellend.
Are Fawaz and Gartside related?
I hope for your sake Tom that it doesn't last more than two years like it did for us.
Erik hits the nail on the head:
No, shit and yes.
Liaminho has clearly been keeping tabs on Dougie
He won't care Alvar:
Brian sees the future:
Stevie is already feeling the Dougie effect:
Bridgford_71 sees the irony of Freedman's appointment:
Matt asks God for help:
Dougie turn one Forest fan to drink:
Where have my tits gone?
Barhead sees more of the Dougie effect:
Bill takes drastic action:
Matty has given up:
Mase is a bit more positive:
Dougie's position already looks untenable:
Finba is ITK:
Aswad watches a lot of Bolton:
Red Zed is not happy:
Hulk thinks things can only get worse:
Bertie clearly follows my work:
More Forest shock:
Last word goes to Prince of Aldi:

Trust me Sedgred, it can get a LOT more disappointing!

Many Bolton fans shared Stockers point of view when Dougie was installed as Bolton manager. They soon woke up:
Stockers wrote:Think he'll do a good job. Young manager, got Palace playing very well. Should do well.
Francis Benali is already looking ahead:
Francis Benali wrote:Have they announced who replaces Freedman yet?
There's one stato on every forum:
gedlingred wrote:Pearce 38% win rate
Freedman 34% win rate.
It is a joke right?
Most Forest fans are too stunned to type many words:
Jesus H Christ
Ha ha ha, what a fucking joke
Mr Sourface from Bolton fuck off
Good god
Has to be a joke
That cretin? Really?
WE ARE RELEGATED
we're the new blackpool
Fuck off Freedman
James is extra stunned:
James_NFFC wrote:Wow. The term 'disillusioned' just doesnt seem strong enough to explain how I feel right now.
I think Ravi has his tongue firmly in his cheek. Or he's a total bellend.
Ravi wrote:At least we're not a laughing stock anymore
Are Fawaz and Gartside related?
Red Dawn wrote:Sacked by taking Bolton into the relegation places yet good enough for us? Another calamity appointment by Fawaz
I hope for your sake Tom that it doesn't last more than two years like it did for us.

Erik hits the nail on the head:

No, shit and yes.
Pearce_03 wrote:Can anyone see any positives to this? Whats his playing style like? Was dire at Bolton wasn't he?
Liaminho has clearly been keeping tabs on Dougie
Liaminho wrote:He's got a fine record of getting good teams playing shit
He won't care Alvar:
Alvar Hanso wrote:Hopefully there'll be a Youtube video of him walking out for the first time being greeted by utter bemusement and confused looks.
Brian sees the future:
Brian Fantana wrote:His record is almost identical to Pearces apart from Freedman actually has taken a club into the relegation zone.
Just wow.
We really are going back to League 1 aren't we.
Stevie is already feeling the Dougie effect:
Stevie_DG wrote:Fuck you Forest, fuck you Freedman, fuck everyone in my life
Bridgford_71 sees the irony of Freedman's appointment:
Bridgford_71 wrote:Took a Bolton side full of prem quality down to the bottom. They are only just recovering.
Also publicly slagged us off last season for our spending saying he hopes FFP take action.
Well they did Dougie, and you are inheriting it.
Matt asks God for help:
Matt1982 wrote:Cannot believe this, Freedman? You've gotta be kidding, dull as ditchwater. Can only see it getting worse. We sacked Pearce (still digesting the unbelievable news) for Dougie Freedman. Heaven help us.
Dougie turn one Forest fan to drink:
Forest Fan wrote:Somebody tell me this is just a very bad dream. Sorry Dougie, just can't see this working out somehow but feel free to prove me wrong. Wine time!
Where have my tits gone?
Brian Teaser wrote:People are generally shocked. Bolton fans are laughing their tits off.
Just before he was sacked at Bolton the fans were organising a protest.
Barhead sees more of the Dougie effect:
Barhead wrote:I've made the point several times that the next man wouldn't get as long as Pearce before the fans turned against him...but fucking hell I reckon Freedman got about 30 seconds before the abuse started!
Bill takes drastic action:
Bill Foster wrote:Never done it before but can you get a refund on an away ticket? No way am i driving to brighton to watch that twat.....awful, awful appointment.
Matty has given up:
Matty's Tum wrote:Is there any point caring any more??
Pathetic appoinment, christ the Bolton fans did firework celebrations when he was sacked earlier in the season, had them playing the worst football imaginable ffs, had them in the bottom 3, it cant get any worse than this tbh.
Mase is a bit more positive:
Mase wrote:This will only work if he brings
Sir Alex Ferguson as his no.2.
Pep Guardiola as coach
Lev Yashin as Goalie coach
Dr Hilary Jones as Physio
Dougie's position already looks untenable:
Tnewton_198 wrote:Dougie's remit from Fawaz is that if he doesn't get 9 points out the next 2 games he's sacked.
Finba is ITK:
Finba wrote:Apparently he's only been appointed cos of his experience managing shit clubs with limited budgets.
Aswad watches a lot of Bolton:
Aswad wrote:Bolton have been much improved since he left, tells you just how terrible he is.
Red Zed is not happy:
Red Zed wrote:I feel like I've just lost a tenner and found a fiver... and then spent that fiver on hiring Dougie Freedman.
Hulk thinks things can only get worse:
Hulk wrote:am expecting him to be his normal crap self, plus an extra 20% of crapness when the Forest managerial curse is applied.
Bertie clearly follows my work:
Bertie Plastic wrote:If Freedman is still manager come August I'll blow every one of you.
More Forest shock:
That is a horrendous decision!!
Who the fuck signed that off?! Seriously the man is awful....
This must be the most shocking decision I've seen in ages. What the actual fuck is Fawaz thinking?
Just when we didn't think things could get any Worse... Dickless Duggie returns!
Suddenly the bottom of the table looks a lot closer.
Fook off, that's me done
Who the hell is advising fawaz ? The derby chairman.
Fawaz is on crack
I think he was actually after Doug E Fresh.
Can someone please start a "Freedman Out" thread
We might as well keep the new manager poll active.
I feel like I've walked out of a Stone Roses concert and ended up being kidnapped and taken to watch One Direction
If someone asked me to draw up a list of 1000 people I would like to have seen replace SP, Freedman would not have been on it.
Fawaz you fat cunt, you have killed this club
Who the fuck is Dougie Freedman?
Sad, sad day when we take Bolton rejects
I now support Derby
Shit manager, shit haircut, shit face, shit body, shit eyebrows
Expect a shitload of Palace and Bolton rejects to sign by midnight
Last word goes to Prince of Aldi:
