    A midlands view of Billy Davies

    read his quote, it is what it is, money talks eh!

    As for those in the game would rate davies better than mccall, then if i through this back at you, who are they?

    my view is opposite from yours regarding who is best suited for our club but unless you have quotes regarding pundits saying such, then its an irelevant remark with no substance you have made.

    Alex Ferguson and Craig Brown

    I admit am a bit biased towards Davies. Stuart MC

    he never got sacked 5 times for being a shagger?

    He got sacked 5 times cause he's fae Govan and he takes no shit (Copeland road primary) if am not mistaken. This is the job for Billy,would put everything he has into making Rangers better and although not against McColl I know in my heart what this would mean to Davies. Ask other managers who they think would be best suited for the job and I would be surprised if Davies did not top such a poll. Of course, I am biased my 2nd option would be Jimmy Calderwood. The reason we can discuss Davies at length is he has been doing it for a while and more often than not he has been succesful. One positive in this managerial discussion is the lack of critisism of Stuart McCall which I applaud.

    During his latest stint at the City Ground this interest in video technology took a slightly sinister turn, involving the covert filming of journalists at Forest press conferences. Or at least those he had not already barred. Only the club website and a regional television station seemed safe from Davies' enthusiasm for blanket media bans, as Forest morphed into "the Midlands' answer to North Korea".

    If a run of eight games without a win, culminating in Saturday's 5-0 defeat at Derby, finally prompted Fawaz Al-Hasawi to dismiss Davies while preparing to find another manager to re-ignite Forest's play off ambitions, trouble had been brewing for some time.

    Long-serving club staff were sacked without explanation, while Jim Price, Davies' cousin and agent, joined Forest in a senior role. After being suspended as a solicitor, Price was barred from taking up an official role as a director because he would not have passed the Football League's fit and proper person test.

    Davies became embroiled in ludicrous rows with photographers during games at Millwall, Brighton and Barnsley. But Al-Hasawi's patience really started wearing thin when the Kuwaiti owner became engaged in a disagreement over transfer market policy with a manager who had spent £9m since his return in February 2013.

    If a five-game touchline ban imposed for using abusive language to a match official after a 2-2 draw at home to Leicester in February – (although Davies denied making physical contact with Anthony Taylor, the referee, in the tunnel but lost his appeal against the last three fixtures of that suspension heard by the FA ) – hardly helped his cause, a recent refusal to talk to the media for "legal reasons" finally appeared to raise red flags in the boardroom.

    Davies' obsession with conspiracy theories and old grudges was starting to grate – possibly even among a group of players containing several huge admirers of a Glaswegian who will begin life at any new club watching from the stands while he serves the final three games of his touchline exclusion order.

    Despite being hampered by a series of injuries to key personnel, including the at times brilliant Andy Reid, there was a sense that Forest were starting to surrender too easily while acquiring far too many unnecessary enemies. The tunnel altercation with Taylor precipitated Davies' second banishment from the dugout this season following a brush with Craig Pawson, another referee, in August.

    Negotiations with Neil Warnock – who would have seemed like football's answer to Kofi Annan compared with Davies – hit a glitch last night, with Gary Brazil, the academy manager, in temporary charge for Tuesday night's match against Charlton.

    You're a Motherwell/Rangers fan in that order you want McCall to manage Rangers because you feel sorry for your ex Boss. I'm a Rangers fan and would prefer Davies. Am giving you the benefit of the doubt that Rangers are your big team btw.

    Can't guarantee it's him but tweeted Pardew gone about an hour ago, then he's talking to successor, and getting £2m for Pardew so seems like it's him to me.

    Time to go back to 4-5-1...

    that was up against farmers and plumbers, now we are playing teams that retain their shape for more than 17 seconds we ned to match them up

    when hibs cuffed us at ibrox, gary mccallister pointed out after 8 minutes that hibs had a spare man in the middle of the park because they were playing a 352, our wingers had countless space but we continually played through the middle resulting in a massive turnover of the ball which led to hibs running us ragged

    we played the 4-4-2 till the final whistle

    Against Dumbarton 4-4-2 or 4-5-1?

    You could easily do a YouTube job on him in a Rangers jersey and it'd look equally as impressive bottom line is atandards are so much lower at Motherwell than Rangers and he'll get away with 1 good game in 3 and even then that good game might not be to the same standad we would consider good enough.

    From the outside looking in Law did well with Motherwell but anyone looking at him from outside for us might see a midfielder who has bagged 19 goals in a season and a half...I wouldn't be quick to believe the hype about Law, he was supposedly the star of a Motherwell sode that finished 2nd in the SPL yet his fellow professionals didn't rate him highly enough toget a nnomination for Player of the Year

    Think he won English div 2 player of the year a while back. I am probably too harsh on him and expect too much. A good player for Well and a good player in English lower leagues but there is no more improvement to come imo.
