40 years tomorrow, when the great man walked through the door.

It might mean a change for Pearce too, 40 years later.

It's a good job he didn't have to put up with 21st century Forest fans - he wouldn't have lasted longer than his first season.[/quote]
Pearce has a better start to his reign than clough did.should we give him time?[/quote]

I'd love to.
However, Clough when he came. Didn't have the financial pressure on his head or the clubs, like we have now.
Those days have gone.

OK then, I'll relent, we stick with him.
May I ask what plan B will be, when we-
