Rob Edwards - the prodigal son returns

"Forest aside"?

Losses aside, I'm a brilliant gambler.

Nuno and Mendes come as a pair, two halves of the same walnut. I'd rather we moved on

That will never happen under fosun

Grateful to Nuno for past glories, but wouldn`t take him back now. His track record since leaving hasn`t been great, Forest aside. Sometimes a Manager just clicks with a team, probably like Edwards did with Middlesborough to a degree. I think he would seriously struggle to get us out of this mess we are in.

An incredibly harsh take that also leaves out his Saudi title win (OK, it's a desert league but he still had three big rivals over there with similar budgets/talent to compete with)

West Ham's probably the biggest black mark to his name so far, but both they and Spurs are basket cases where plenty of respected coaches have tried and failed.

Only two words for his Forest spell? He got them into Europe just months after they almost went down!

We're less than 12 months removed of him replicating what he did here in 18/19 with more points and a worse squad at Forest.

“Worse squad” is in the eye of the beholder, I suppose. And we’re even fewer months from what he’s just done or not done at West Ham.

I suppose that it doesn’t seem likely to me that we’d suddenly be good again if Nuno came in tomorrow. Neither we nor he are the same as we were.

Anyway. I wouldn’t exactly be upset to have him back, I’m just not sure I see the benefit in pining.

Rui, Jonny, Boly, Neves, Moutinho, Raul and Jota of 2019 absolutely stroll into the Forest team of 2024/25.

Nuno had the strength to resist the foisted upon us signings that he didn't want. His successors didn't, and look where that got us.

Better than the one Celtic had
