Here to stay?


HAVING passed through an era when sacking football mangers was second nature to club chairmen, Colin Calderwood may just be pleased to hear his current employers have seemingly finished with the habit themselves.

The Reds manager was believed to be all but sacked had he failed to drag Forest back into the Championship this season.

But from a position in April when defeat at Doncaster Rovers looked to have consigned the club to a play-off place, Calderwood has emerged out of the mist and fury to leave himself his most challenging task to date in the Championship. But he has arguably never been in a stronger position. That’s if the club’s hierarchy is to be believed.

Mark Arthur revealed after Forest’s final day promotion to the Championship that Colin Calderwood would have kept his job regardless of Forest’s fate again this season.

He indicated he attended a fans event in the final weeks of the season confirming the Scotsman’s position regardless of where the club finished.

He said: “I told them (the supporters) that Colin would be the manager of Nottingham Forest next season regardless of what happened.”

“We have always believed it to be important to build a little stability and continuity at the club and we felt that, however the season turned out, we had a bright future with the group of players we had put together.”

That was u-turn on what he indicated earlier in the season when Forest’s poor away form had already seen them drift alarmingly away from the top two. Calderwood at that point was seemingly finished if promotion wasn’t secured.

But chairman Nigel Doughty and Arthur appear to have learnt their lessons. As much as Paul Hart, Joe Kinnear and Gary Megson were all on undoubted downward spirals at the time of their departures, you can’t help but feel in Hart's case particularly that he deserved his own leap of faithfrom the chairmen when results didn't come up to scratch.


But now with continuity and stability the buzz words, they will be keen to stick with a manager who through unprecedented pressure has done what he was employed to do.

The next hurdle of the Championship will be an interesting test of Calderwood’s credentials but he may now go about his work safe in the knowledge the axe may not be ready to swing if results don’t arrive immediately.
