It’s sad but unsurprising. Honestly can’t see him managing at club level again. I’m hoping this is finally his opportunity to take the Ireland job. Kenny’s not had a successful run in WC qualifying, he’d have a strong ally in the changing room through Duffy and it would be a worthy send off for the career of a much respected manager and human being.
Agreed, as l've said on other threads it's time for Chris to sit back now, he has nothing left to prove to anyone, get to know his wife again, walk the dog (if he has one), and if he fancies it, throw his hat in the ring for the Republic job.
He may have a perfectly well ordered work/life balance. I think some of these guys it’s in the blood and the last thing the wives need is them cluttering up the house or interfering with their own schedules. Mrs H may we’ll be cursing you for posting such a thing.
He's only 62.
And he's potentially got at least 1 more club job in him before he thinks of the Ireland team.
What odds are Chris Wilder?
Forest … 15 managers failed in 10 years……. I’m beginning to wonder something.
He was one goal away from getting Albion promoted in his first season with us before Glenn Murray had even arrived and Albion were top scorers in the Champ in those 2 years with probably the most exciting football we've seen in decades. Rigid it was not. Obviously he had different techniques to Potter as to how a team consolidates in the Prem - which led to Bloom sacking him and lots of fans becoming sceptical - fair enough.
Also - short term success ? - he was - by most yardsticks - successful with the Albion (avoiding relegation, play off, promoted, staying up, staying up) for 5 years.
Not interested in reading the post to which you reply but it amused to see you find nothing of any value in it.
Sadly I think he may struggle, now, to find a good fit. He's my age, and the prospect of reinventing one's self is a stretch. His rather melancholic demeanour doesn't help, either.
Mark Hughes?

Please God no.
Mark Hughes?
No chance Mark Hughes will go to Forest. He takes an Entourage of about 10 people with him to wherever he goes. He doesn't even do any of his own coaching. Forest would never pay what he would demand. No Championship Club would pay for the amount of coaches he brings with him.
