A change is going to come

As I write this, it would seem that Forest are already in the process of interviewing potential new managers, if rumours in the press this morning are anything to go by. Judging by Colin Calderwood's strange behaviour after the final whistle at Doncaster where he shook every Forest player's hand and went over to the supporters, despite them chanting for his resignation suggests that he knows his time is up as Forest continue to lie six points adrift at the bottom of the Championship.

The Daily Mail ran an exclusive saying that Sam Allerdyce is poised to take over, while the Guardian say that Billy Davies, Iain Dowie (God I hope not) and Ady Boothroyd, the recently axed Watford manager, could all be in the frame. My first choice would have to be Big Sam. I think he would be just what this Club needs in a relegation battle, and he would lift us out of the doldrums, if only temporarily. He may be quite controversial and outspoken at times, but the most successful managers often are. Calderwood is about as inspiring as a soggy iceberg lettuce that's past its sell-by date. The idea that he is capable of turning our fortunes around and pulling off a rescue act is just laughable. His interviews are increasingly becoming self-parodic. In the Nottingham Evening Post today, he says he's the 'perfect man for the job'. What job would that be then? Turning Forest into the biggest laughing stock in football by making us the worst ever Championship team with the lowest points total?

I think Calderwood was told that if he didn't win at Doncaster then he would be sacked, and after another lifeless display from Forest, which would have resulted in a defeat if Doncaster weren't just as bad, it would seem that finally (although God knows how it took him so long), Nigel Doughty has run out of patience. I've also just read that Calderwood was nowhere to be seen at this morning's training session. Interesting!!
