Alex Mc Leish has 'left' Forest after only 6 weeks. The claim is that he and the foreign owners disagreed about developmnet.
McLeish is a decent bloke and Forest have always similarly been a decent club.
So yet again it seems that our game is being badly treated by another bunch of foreign owners who want to flaunt their wealth by buying an English football club- and then expecting them to get promoted ,and then presumably get silverware and play in Europe. Blackburn have been screwed, and now Forest (amongst others). In both cases its foreign wealthy owners using clubs like playthings. No understanding of the nature of the game and how it works, and just how difficult it is to get success. No idea of the history and emotional investment of generations of supporters in their clubs. This whole thing is getting to be a sickener.
If any rich foreigner ever pitches up at the Reebok waving wads of probably ill gotten dollars, I hope they're run out of town. The last thing I want for my club is that its a piece of trophyism for someone who neither knows nor cares about BWFC- but wants it because his rich mates have also got a club
