Forest amazed Manchester City

It sure is not easy to beat the richest club in the world and to do it away. To beat the club that had spent £30 million on a single player whose owners, Dubai sheiks are squandering money trying to build a mega-team that will pillage the world in a year or two. The team like that has been defeated at home by the complete underdogs Nottingham Forest, the club living of the old glory and the result was 0-3.

After slightly unexpected promotion from League One to Coca Cola Championship, Forest had an off autumn. Desperate form and poor finishing, still unfit and this summer overpaid Robby Earnshow, displeased fans… Manager Colin Calderwood was the one to pay the price and right after his departure, a new dawn came to Nottingham. Firstly, attractive performance and away win (3-2) in Norwich and then the FA Cup game at the City of Manchester Stadium. Young Forest have taught the overpaid Manchester City star a lesson and sealed a completely deserved 3-0 win.

Perhaps the young Foresters will have cost City manager Mark Hughes his post, perhaps not, but it doesn’t matter. Important thing is that Nottingham Forest can build on this huge achievement and set off on their relegation fight in the Championship in a more confident fashion. After this result, everything is possible, even for Forest to end the season in the upper part of the standings. Billy Davies’ arrival will have been an additional boost for this team. Billy is the man who had a respectable success with teams such as Preston and Derby in their earlier seasons, teams with similar physiognomy like Forest.

Perfect man at perfect timing for the team that is far from perfect but with a lot of “material” for molding. Self-esteem can go only up, there is a new era in front of Forest…if they know how to use it wisely…
