Not a player, but SSC is the new head coach at Brondby.
-
Could be a good move that, a bit of European experience to add to his CV. Hope it goes well for him.
-
As long as he still hates the Leicester and hates the Derby, that'll do for me.
-
I can't be arsed with looking up the Uefa Tinpot Trophy Conference (tee hee), but they're in that, aren't they?
-
Yep (there was some suggestion that Palace sharing an owner with them might cause them problems even in that competition, but they must have been cleared on that front).
-
One of their co-owners is a co-owner of Palace. Not the problematic co-owner, but a non-reindeer guy called Blitzer.
-
Sightly tenuous in this thread as he only had a handful of appearances for Forest 20-odd years ago, but apparently Russell Hoult is receiving palliative care for stage-four cancer.
-
Very sad, but we’ll always have Yeovil away.

In other ex-Forest goalkeeper news, Luke Steele has been sacked as co-manager of Peterborough Sports - who have replaced him with Phil Brown!
-
Ow! That's got to smart!
I've heard Luke Steele talk, and he's very likeable. Does he know anything about football?
-
He's a goalie, so probably not.
-
There's an argument that they get to stand looking at all the football going on...so they learn a lot. Certainly Peter Taylor knew football. Perhaps amongst the most knowledgeable of the non-footballers?
-
Well, I've spent 50 years standing looking at all the football going on, and we know what you think of my understanding of the game. So I'm not sure it stands up all that well.
-
Must. not. do. the. obvious.
As a keeper you are involved in the game. Looking at shape, spotting exploitable gaps, being a key voice in the onfield organisation.
Not just following the ball.
-
But also mental, and crucially (and linked), an island. I don't think it's a coincidence that great strikers often make great managers, because more than any other position they understand the team dynamic and the importance of movement (insert your preferred Harold Kane joke here), because they are incapable of doing their job without others. Keepers on the other hand are generally called into action when the team has failed.
I'm sure there have been good keepers who have become good managers, but I can't think of many. Nuno is the only one who comes to mind. Was Mourinho a keeper?
-
Dave Save is sad.
