We could really do with a decent Scottish centre half breaking through. 3rd choice left sided CB at the moment. Is a really good player though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WALMOT Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Nottingham Forest have sacked manager Martin O'Neill, replacing him with former France international Sabri Lamouchi as their new head coach. O'Neill, 67, won two European Cups with the Reds as a player and returned to the City Ground as boss in January. Forest were four points outside the Championship play-offs when O'Neill took charge but he was unable to guide them to a top-six finish. Lamouchi, 47, has previously had spells in charge of Ivory Coast and Rennes. He was capped 12 times by France in a playing career that saw him feature for Monaco, Parma, Inter Milan and Marseille. Forest said that he will be "assisted by six new members of staff". O'Neill, who made 371 appearances for Nottingham Forest as a player, won eight of his 19 games in charge of the club after replacing Aitor Karanka. The former Leicester City, Celtic and Aston Villa boss had spent almost six years out of club management prior to taking over at Forest. Alongside assistant Roy Keane, who left the club last week, he guided Republic of Ireland to the last 16 of Euro 2016 before leaving in November 2018 after a poor Nations League campaign. In a short two-sentence statement on the club website, Forest said they "would like to thank Martin for all his efforts during his time at the City Ground and wish him well for the future". Another club legend departs A Nottingham Forest legend, O'Neill was seemingly back at his spiritual home when he took over at the start of the year, with his appointment a popular one among many supporters. However, much like the fate of former Reds skipper Stuart Pearce, another idol of the Trent End who lasted just 32 games in charge, he exits the club prematurely - before any tangible impact can be observed. He first joined the Reds in 1971 and went on to play 371 games, winning league championship and European Cup medals as part of Brian Clough's all-conquering side of the late 1970s. His understanding of the club ensured an immediate rapport with fans - despite mixed results - and this summer was expected to see the squad shaped in his mould. Instead, the departure of assistant Keane came out of the blue last week and has been swiftly followed by O'Neill's exit. O'Neill's greatest successes have come with former Forest team-mate John Robertson as assistant, but the old combination has been absent for his past three roles at Sunderland, the Republic of Ireland and now Forest, all of which have ended in disappointment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I think that O'Neil's time in management has passed. His Good Cop/Bad Cop double act with Roy Keane doesn't work in modern club football. It may be OK internationally when they don't see the players that much but a daily grind of O'Neil and Keane probably didn't appeal to the players 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WALMOT Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 The Wendies doing a Derby and Villa with the owner buying the ground. From the BBC football website:- Sheffield Wednesday sold their Hillsborough stadium for about £60m to owner Dejphon Chansiri to try to ensure they did not breach spending rules. Sheffield Wednesday Football Club Limited sold the ground for a profit of more than £38m, helping them record a pre-tax profit of £2.5m for 2017-18. The accounts say an "income" of £61.2m is to come from "related parties". Chansiri, their only active director, had previously said the club broke financial rules by "eight figures". Without the sale of the ground, Wednesday would have posted a pre-tax loss of £35.4m. Thai-owner Chansiri, who in June set up a new parent company - Sheffield Wednesday Holdings Limited - registered in Hong Kong, said in December 2018 that he was putting the club up for sale and admitted they had "problems" with the English Football League's profitability and sustainability rules (previously known as financial fair play, or FFP). Both Derby County and Aston Villa have also sold their stadiums to their owners, who in turn have leased them back to their respective clubs, in recent months to help meet the spending rules. With information on Hillsborough at the Land Registry showing the ground is still registered to the Championship club, football finance expert Kieran Maguire from the University of Liverpool said Wednesday should "clarify the situation". He told BBC Radio Sheffield: "Wednesday needed to sell Hillsborough as they certainly would have breached financial fair play (rules) and been subject to a points penalty." Spending rules in the Championship allow clubs to lose as much as £39m over three years. In the previous two years, the Owls recorded combined pre-tax losses of more than £30.5m. Birmingham City were deducted nine points by the EFL last season for breaching profitability and sustainability rules. Analysis Mike McCarthy, BBC Radio Sheffield There are some confusing things about the sale. I've asked Sheffield Wednesday when exactly it took place and they haven't been able to tell me. That immediately sets off some alarm bells. In December, Mr Chansiri told a fans forum the club had broken the financial rules by an eight-figure sum - so at least £10m. Now for the same accounting period, Wednesday are showing a profit. So if the ground had already been sold, or a contract was in place to sell it, why didn't Sheffield Wednesday tell anyone about it at that fans forum and put fans' minds at ease? And why does the land registry still show Sheffield Wednesday as the owners of Hillsborough if it was sold months, possibly years ago? Already we understand Sheffield Wednesday are working under a soft transfer embargo - that means they can sign some players, but they can't go big on transfer fees or wages. And, long term, selling the stadium doesn't help much. You can only do it once, and that means Sheffield Wednesday's next accounts are likely to show another big loss. Without the stadium sale they'd have lost £35m this time. So they still have to cut costs, and that has begun this summer with the release of half a dozen players from the first-team squad. But there's probably a lot more work to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Moomintroll Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 What's happening at Bury ?They only have 7 registered players at the moment but due to non payment of wages they can give the Club notice to leave at any time so naturally they don't want to play. Manchester City have kicked them out of their old training ground, which they were using for free, due to failure to maintain the facilities. They also owe taxes so a winding up petition is on the horizon. If they get to the end of the season I will be amazed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
