What's with the Billy Davies hating all of a sudden?

[stf4ever]

Before 5pm on Saturday, everyone (bar the odd few) was drooling over the prospect of Billy Davies.

It now seems that a scrappy 1-0 win against MK Dons has turned everyone into suddenly wanting either Unsworth or Alexander at the helm?

Why? Because the players looked like they were playing for them. In reality, the players were just playing in a formation and role that seemed natural to every single one of them. Left footers on the left, right footers on the right etc. This is why we won. We have one of the best teams in this division, we should win most games with our strongest 11.

If Billy came in, he'd no doubt be forced to keep Unsworth, and I can imagine him employing Alexander as a coach because they got on well last time. It seems 1 result, a 1-0 win, has made everyone turn there back on the greatest manager we've had since Moyes, of which there have been a number.

Lets be rational here, Davies has the ability to take us back up, we've no idea about the ability of Unsworth or Alexander just yet, and this isn't the time to be taking risks.

well davies wont come back as we cant give him funds ,so its a non starter

If Billy "came in" he wouldn't be forced to do anything. The little shit left us in a situation which suited him and not us. He will not be back and anyone who thinks he will is delusional.

I think you may be the delusional one. There are always two sides to every story. Don't discount the possibility of BD returning. I would be delighted if he did.

Has it not occurred to anyone that Billy is currently unemployed. He also doesn't seem to be linked with every championship/lower premiership managers job that comes available anymore so there is a slight chance he may just snap our hands off if we offer him the job. I still believe we will get him and that is why I've had 50p with skybet on it.

Fingers crossed.

Well I was one of the "odd few", and I'll stick by that. I hope that you mean the term numerically, rather than by opinion of our standpoint? I for one, don't forget the thousands of posts on here referring to "the poison dwarf" and "Judas" etc. If re-appointed, I feel sure he'd stamp on us again like a cigarette butt when it best suited him, and not care if it wasn't put out properly and burned the PNE house down forever.

"Suddenly" hating Billy Davies? You must be new.

exactly how I see it too!! Yes he did good stuff here at PNE on fairly limited resources, however we couldn't match his ambition, so spat his dummy out. So I'd welcome him back , but he would have to work on less reaourses than he had back then. Can he, would he is the question, along with why is he still out of work !!!

Billy will want his entire back room team with him. With that being the case, he'll have no need for Unsworth, Grezza, Matt Jackson etc. I think the idea of those guys being replaced with Ned Kelly and Balderstone is quite frankly turning everyones stomach. I'd like BD back but not at that cost.

I couldn't give a fuck myself, I want the best manager and if he wants to bring his own team in that's fine by me.

That would be true by definition?

I would say potentially destroying the club would limit someone's ability to be the best candidate.

I am curious to see the Boxing Day game and see if it really has changed

How the fuck would it destroy the club by firing off a few fans favourites who have little to offer on the field and potentially less off it?

He will still be being paid by Notts Forest for some time yet under his lucrative rolling contract.

Same here, there's fuck all loyalty in any walk of life these days so BD is not on his own with the way he left us. I want to see success for PNE and if that means bringing BD back then I'm all for it!
As for Unsworth and Alexander, well unless I was watching a different game on Saturday we played like absolute shit and MK Dons were all over us in the second half, we were lucky.

This +1 and the poll shows that Billy is the man by a country mile. No disrespect to Grezza and Unsworth but Billy would be the man for Pne. Just hope a deal can be done. If not and the board thinks otherwise then i'll get behind the new manager as long as it's a good appointment.

 

[raefil]

Billy Davies is a total bastard and every other expletive you could think of.

Id prefer him to be our bastard though.

There is no doubt that if he did come back it would be to use us for his own ends. He must not be allowed to bring in 'his team' of backroom staff with the exception of Ned Kelly. He should also agree to keeping the reserves and their staff etc.
There is no question over his ability as a manager - we would stand a decent chance of making the Championship this season and for that reason alone I would take him back - it's just his ability to be a scheming, back stabbing little shit that needs to be watched.

Agree with all of this 100%.

Taking on Billy Davies would have enormous implications financially. Unless things have changed over the last few days I don't think we can afford him and all that he would require. I'd like to think we could but the way I understand it, we can't.

The logical step is to give our present affordable partnership at least 3 more games to show their mettle.

 

[pneef]

I'm happy to be one of the few. I think his recent record is questionable - he spent an absolute fortune at Forest and didn't get them up. He also moaned about having too little to spend all season, but that's BD for you. He gets his excuses in early so he can point fingers at others and try to exonerate himself of any blame afterwards.

He falls out with every chairman he works for. Davies and Ridsdale would be clash of the egos. It would never work.
