Coach Stuart Pearce
Chris Hughton Next Manager?
talking about 'That Job' to The Chronicle
“It’s business as usual. The best way to approach it is to keep doing the job I’m doing. I’ve continually stated I’ll do it for as long as I’m asked. The most important thing for me is results, and keeping the team at this end of the table. Everything around that, for me, comes second, and when there are definite things to be said, they’ll be said.
It was always something I thought about, but I’ve always been guided by the situation that I’ve been in. I’ve stayed in the area I’ve stayed in, but it’s something that’s been on my mind. It’s never been the most important thing for me – that’s been staying in the game, and doing the best job I can in whatever position I’m in. I’m happy to stay for as long as I’m asked to stay.”

“The team is showing there is belief here, and Chris and Colin deserve the job now. Hopefully they get it and that will mean we can all concentrate on the job in hand. People keep looking at us and say ‘they still haven’t got a proper manager’ even though Chris is acting manager. He’s not done anything wrong, but he hasn’t been named as boss. So it would be nice to see Chris get the job.
Coach Chris Calderwood Returns to Forest
talking to The Chronicle
“Everybody on the playing side is feeling good about themselves. They are buoyant and confident and that’s the good side of it. The realisation, though, is that this is only a small period of the season so far.
I think everybody wanted to start the season well. I don’t think it has ever been so important for a club to start well like we have. For a club that was in our situation, it had to be a positive start.
With the international fixtures it has broken the season up nicely into little segments. There are now five games until the next break so we can review where we are then. It manages itself.”
