I have no doubt that the most fixed game I've ever seen was the play-off semi against against Leeds.
The bad refereeing and floodlight failure could only, I believe, have been arranged by some illegal wealthy betting magnate in Dubai, or similar, of which I have no proof, but our floodlights have never failed before or since. Umm.
Anyway, when the poison dwarf ran away from Preston, he said many times it would all come out in his book.
So a decade or more later, what has become of BD's book?
I think we should be told.

If there was any wrong doing by BD, surely he's not going to admit to it in a book.
I'm no lawyer but wouldn't he be leaving himself open to prosecution even after all these years.
Could the club start a private prosecution against him as potentially, it cost them millions?

The problem with drinking at home, is that some folk genuinely don’t know when to stop.
 
I would buy his book. Is it actually real or was he being cocky? I'd also buy Graham Westley book. Now that would be comical

I have never been violent in my life but, Graham Westley had me seriously questioning why not. The man was beyond ridiculous. I don’t mind that he acted like a pillock and brought professionalism down to a whole new level, but I DO mind it was at our club. Utter, utter pleb of a man.

Great passion Joan 👍🏻

The funny thing is Joanpne, Coutts finishes with how he found him “quite likeable “ ?

I guess, once you get to the position where you know you will be leaving, you can sit back and 'enjoy the fun'......

Once PC had had his bust up with GW and been told Andy Proc would be taking his role and capt armband it was just a case of seeing the season out and enjoying the spectacle.

As bad as GW and Dino were for our clubs image etc we can still laugh at some of his antics.

Even Boris and Donald can be enjoyable to watch when they dont directly affect yourself.

Didn't the lights have some trouble before a televised game a couple of years ago or did I completely make that up? Remember tuning in for the pre-match on Sky and they were saying the game was in danger of not going ahead because floodlight trouble. Would have been either Rovers or Wigan...? Could be completely wrong though
 
He got the funds he wanted so much at other clubs , and failed. Last I heard his career at top level is over, as much due to his `poison dwarf` nature as his lack of football nous at the highest level.

Who`d buy any book of his now? Would there be much of a market? Doubt it. He`s no longer a football `celeb`.

He didn't exactly fail at Derby. He took them up. Ironically the player who scored the winner for them at Wembley, Stephen Pearson, was someone Davies identified as a target during his time at North End but we failed to sign him.

Given the investment and players signed at Forest he probably should've done better than losing twice in the semi finals, but I don't think anyone can knock the job he did at North End and Derby.

His second spell at Forest and the paranoia he developed at the time has clearly finished him as a manager.

“ I found him actually quite likeable “

He did say he found him amusing, but he didn’t have to put that bit in unless that’s what he meant?

Stop sitting on the fence and say what you really mean Joan.

I'm sure theres a bit on the forum somewhere that says he can't release his book because of a legal issue about something he wanted to include in the book.

For some reason I think it was v Charlton. Again could be completely wrong though.
