Who is the "CLOWN" suggessting tis would be a marriage made in heaven??May be but the "DIVORCE" will follow just as quickly as the marriage.

Hoddle is a footballers footballer, Notts Forest have always been a footballing club so he would be better suited.

BOING~~~~BOING~~~~J♣H.

As far as i can remember Hoddle was not sacked by Wolves

Hoddle wasn't sacked by Wolves,he walked out.Something to do with 'heat 'and 'kitchen'.

Spoilt for choice I see? Although I do believe Mick would be a good choice for Forest at the moment to help rebuild the team and get them stable and ready for a promotion challenge. Hate and slate the guy all you like but you can't deny he did us a huge favour when he first came in. I for one still sing Super Mick for the job he did overall, not just the last year. Good luck to him. (Please take Connor)

Mick works well with a small budget but how he would deal with an excessively large one would be interesting to see. Hoddle would be comfortable dealing with "loadsamoney" - it remains to be seen whether or not the new owners intend to pump vast sums into Forest. Two very different styles of football on offer if it really is between these two. Quite intriguing really (well it occupies the close season while we wait for the real business to begin).

good luck mick. please take terry connor with u.

Hoddle was a disaster at Molineux, why would he want to ruin a good club? MM would be a better bet to keep them in the Championship and maybe improve their chances of a higher position. Forest fans want Billy Davies back

You could hardly call it a battle for the job. If Hoddle is the competition then Mick is a shoe in for the job! He would do well at Forest, get them promoted in a couple of seasons. Hoddle would just waste the Kuwaitis money.

not sure if this is a joke.

Kenny burns played under clough whose teams played great passing football and he wants Mick whose teams just kick and hoof the ball around??

Sorry kenny out of the two I would go for hoddle any day. He fits in better with forest's history and would attract some decent players to the team.

Oh wait if mick does get the job, he could help us by taking stearman,edwards,berra,elokobi,hunt, foley off our hands. so ive change my mind.... Micks the best man for the job.

Wanderer in Eire, That Clown was once Footballer of the Year, who twice won the European Cup.He also played for the best manager in the business. A player we were interested in,in the 70s, but failed to sign ,because we wouldn't stump up the cash.Same old story with the Wolves,and cannot blame Moxey for that one.

Jack, Have you learn't nothing about football in all the years you have supported Albion? It is Nott'm Forest and Notts Forest.

If the Al-Hasawi intend throwing money around to attempt buying promotion then Hoddle is their man.

If however they want a man to manage the club and have long term success spending to build a team then MM is the obvious choice.

The frugal Yorkshire man V the profligate southerner.

Up The Wolves

I for one hope they give the job to Hoddle so that when Forest visit I can show him "my appreciation" for his excellent work during his time as Wolves manager.

Simply my least favourite manager in 38 years as a fan. Thought he was too good for the club from day one, achieved nothing and has never had a mangerial job since. Says it all about Glenda in my book.

As for the disgraceful religious views that got him sacked from the national job... I felt like I had done something wrong in a previous life when he was named Wolves boss!

However if MM gets it - I hope he sees Ward as the 'missing piece of the jigsaw' and makes us an offer based on how much he bigged up his 'best ever buy!'

Some people have very short memories, Mick would be perfect fot the job, he got us up (wolves) and Sunderland too, he is a proven Championship manager, good luck Mick i hope you get it.

A once famous club who have fallen on hard times

Threadbare squad of players

Well supported and ambitions to get back into the big time

Sound familar?

Well, I'll never forget the job Mick did for us, inheriting the mess left behind by Hoddle when he walked out. Sterile football which had alienated the fans, not enough players to put out a reserve side, favourites for relegation.

Remember the 'Pole without a goal' who was Hoddles "final piece of the jigsaw." Glenn's rapport with the supporters was non-existant. He will be interested in the Forest job because he will sniff the money.

I really believe Mick is the right man for where Forest are now. No contest. IF they get to The Premiership, well that's a different matter...

Chris,

Dead right, it is all the good things going on at the Hawthorns at the moment so bear with an old timer when he slips up. regards.

BOING~~~~BOING~~~~J♣H.

Surely the facts are, Hoddle walked out on Wolves in an announcement made 15 minutes before kick-off of the England vs Portugal World Cup quarter final in 2006, thus avoidng any negative press publicity... And wasn't this a day after his Brother and other members of his coaching team signed a new deal! Nice famiy pay-off if you can get it!Dullest football I ever saw under Hoddle. Mick, with his two weeks to prepare for the following season, with barely a squad, was a breath of fresh air, AND we got to the play-offs!

Glenn Hoddle has a poor Managerial record and alot like Steve Bruce, Roy Keane etc were getting jobs by their names as players.

He is arrogant, thinks he is too good for the Championship and plays football which would not work in this era! He has no plan B. Why have no Premier League clubs been in for him?

Glenn Hoddle had money and a strong squad with us and failed to get us into the play-offs. Mick had very little money and 8 professionals when he took over and got us to the play-offs and 2 years later as champions.

The easiest choice Forest will ever have to make...Super Mick.

Chris,

I think you meant LEARNED, but I understand.

BOING~~~~BOING~~~~J♣H.

As a 25 year-old Wolves fan, my happiest times of supporting my club have come under Mick McCarthy and my worst times under Glen Hoddle.

I think that sums it up!

13 Cornish - Agreed. It depends on the approach the Al-Hasawi's wish to take. If I was going to be throwing money at it, personally I wouldn't choose either of them. No-one knows yet how they will play it.

Mick's success is in getting the best out of honest, but limited players. That can only take you so far of course as we know, but it works pretty well at Championship level.

In fairness, Mick has had some success when spending big (Fletcher and Doyle weren't bad signings were they?) That said, if Forest want to build on the basis of a hard-working, committed and hungry dressing room who will give it everything then Mick is the man.

Expect him to come sniffing for Kightly though...

I'D BET VERY HEAVILY NEITHER OF THESE TWO WILL GET THE JOB. ALSO THAT IF EITHER OF THEM DO, PROMOTION WILL NOT COME THIS SEASON. IT WOULD BE GOOD IF MM GOT IT THOUGH, AS WE COULD HOPEFULLY OFFLOAD A LOT OF THE DEADWOOD AN TC TOO.

1) Not content with slating Mad Mick, you now result in slating a football legend like Kenny Burns. It's a pity you have not the front to say it to their faces, as one of them would soon shut you up!

People on here praising up Hoddle are clueless. McCarthy would have them up in 3 years minimum but Hoddle has lost the plot! Personally it would be great if they appointed him, as they would pose a lot less threat!

If MM gets the job, would be interesting to see if he could build a defence this time. He never got close to it at the Mol, which was his downfall.

Strange in that he was a defender himself, albeit from the Jurassic Age of defending!

Twoddle never got anything going at the Mol, but he was good at Swindon and Chelsea. Perhaps with cash he would be the one to go for. MM is limited, but could get them up, but would be out of his depth in the Premier if they ever get there. I'd go with Twoddle if I was them.

A seroious challenger to us next season now they have some money, whoever they chose.

No 1. Clown ? That clown is Kenny Burns, League Champion, 3 times League Cup winner, twice European Cup wineer and FWA Player of the Year 1979 - 80.

I'll bet he feels a right chump now You've set him straight.

go on nottingham forest appoint mcarthy so he can take,connor,mountain and daley with him and may as well take stearman and berra. utw.

Mick deserves a chance back in football and if it's at Forest then look forward to seeing him back in the dugout at the Mol next season.

Don't know how big a budget the new owners will give the new guy but if MM gets the job then expect him to come sniffing around our players.

The ones we don't want hopefully.

The Merry Go Round of failures carries on.

@1 Wanderer In Eire

Quotation marks and capitals, again, not necessary.

To reiterate for the umpteenth time, when you compose your sentences like that, you come across as, to put it bluntly, someone who may just actually be insane. As such - and I believe I'm right in saying this - nobody pays the slightest bit of attention to your opinion.

Why won't you stop?

Very hard to believe this story especially as Harry Rednapp has just been spotted heading towards the Forest ground in Nottingham

Solbakken Barmy Army

I completely agree! In years to come the Mick haters will realise what a great job he actually did (with the exception of that final season) even though some of that was out of his hands....Johnson, Frimpong etc. Hoddle ruined our team and how anyone would consider him is to me weird!

why cant a multibillionaire family buy the wolfs !!!???? we have a big fan base and a great history !!! COME ON ME BABBYS BUY THE WOLLUFFS AND SPLASH DA CASH :-P !!! :-)

My wife's a Forest fan, I hope to god they go for Mick rather than Twaddle (I love my wife...)!

@21 Segeley slayer, as a 42 year old Wolves fan I 100% agree with you. Even Mark McGhee wasn't as bad as the soul-less Hoddle era... Forest need to dodge this bullet.

Oddly almost anyone in football outside Wolves message boards thinks that Mick would do a great job at Forest. Hoddle on the other hand is a complete clown who had no commitment to Wolves at all. So no contest really.

PS PeteNuts - you really are wasting your time mate - the content and the grammar are equally bizarre.

I would love MM back i think he could get us back where we belong!!!

Tough one given that they are in the same division as us.

McCarthy - more than likely to get them competing with us for promotion than Hoddle, so a threat. But more than likely to get rid of some of our deadwood (with the Kuwati's dosh hopefully inflating prices e.g. Ward £3m, Berra £5m, Johnson £1.50)

Hoddle - no threat to our promotion plans

Stourbridge Wolf you're spot on.

Hoddle is a fruitcake. The fact that he hasnt had a proper job in 6 years speaks volumes.

So hope it's McCarthy!! We need him to come and take Ward, Stearman, Berra, Elokobi and Henry off our hands!

Lert's hope Mick gets the position. He deserves to be in trade and will be a far btter tactician thnt what I heard Cotrell was.

That said, now that he has gone, I dod see how he was more than slightly out of his depth at the top level, with no disrespect to his efforts.

He is better suited to a lower league set-up, and has always had a canny way of bringing them up through promotion.

Maybe next time, when he gets to the Premier League, he will possibly have cut his teeth enough times (Wolves and Sunderland) to figure it all out and stabalize a club in that hallowed division.

We'll see! Good luck, Mick, as you deserve some!

Any Wolves fan who recommends Hoddle over McCarthy must have their head up their backside or a personal grudge against Forest.

When Hoddle walked out on Wolves we were a disaster waiting to happen. If you look at the first team McCarthy had available to him when he walked through the door you have to say he worked a miracle. In fact he gets very little credit for what we achieved in that first season alone.

Take it from me Forest fans, McCarthy is just what you need !

I agree that when you make it back to the Prem you might need to think again, but then again Mick always had to work to a tight budget at Wolves and did it without moaning. His failing was maybe a loyalty to some of his favourites, but overall he was the mot successful manager Wolves have had in the last 40 years or more.

If Mick will take the job bite his hand off, and the press conferences are good too.

Agree with Kenny Burns would be best thing to happen to Forest since Cloughie!

Another gift from Wolves, remember in he 70's we handed them promotion from the old 2nd Division by beating Bolton on last day of season,they went on to be champions the following season followed by 2 successive European Cups.

Kenny Burns was a Striker for Birmingham City converted to centre half by Freddie Goodwin, due to them having a strike force of Francis, Latchford and Hatton.

Hell of a good player and as hard as nails.

Good luck if you get the job Mick hope the board at Forest back you when you identify a good player unlike Wolves. (only excemption were Kightly & Jarvis but they cost the club next to nothing!).

two clueless idiots poor forest they will be a waist of time

JR Wembley 1974, They paid us back on 15th March 1980,but still owe us for that Alan Hinton/ Dick Le Flem swop.

Do not, I repeat DO NOT trust MM with money. A useless bunch of lazy footballers maybe but not a pile of money. He took us so far backwards it makes my blood boil. That man has set us back years and it infuriates me to see the progress at the Albion when they have done it on a smaller budget.

Muppet Mick put himself forward for all those jobs and still out of work says it all really doesn't it?

46 Frobo - Mick took over a tiny squad who had just finished 7th in the Championship and left us with Fletcher, Jarvis, Kightly, Doyle etc at 17th in the Premier League having been the only manager ever to keep us in that league (twice). Lets hope Stale can take us as far backwards!

PS if you love WBA so much then I am sure there will always be room for you down there.

Never mind the discussions on the topic of McCarthy v Hoddle, the language and grammar debate is more enjoyable. Jack the hat v Chris with comments by Peanuts. I hope that all the early school leavers take note and try to help raise the general level of literacy on this website.

I have missed the announcement of the players who are going to Ireland. All I know at the moment is Jody Craddock is not going.

Have the Wolves issued the list of travellers.

I just hope that it includes about half a dozen of the youngsters.

MM...Wolves Legend

Hoddle...an utter joke at Wolves

Good luck MM in your new job, Hoddle stick to being a second rate pundit
