I have been in the very fortunate position that Sean O Driscoll was my coach and manager many years ago and i have to say he is the best coach i have ever seen / worked. Even back then he was ahead of his time, he love, his players to just relax, pass the ball about and enjoy playing football which is surely what its all about and half the battle to win games.
Not only that we was a really decent nice bloke, i think his character would of suited the Albion, plays football, doesnt want the media spotlight and goes about his job under the rader, he just loves the football side, reminds me of what Clarke is like.
I feared for him when the Kuwait owners came in, with people like that and its happening at Blackburn they often assume a big name manager is the only way forward when it can be quite the opposite, after a couple of iffy seasons Forest needed stability, O Driscoll appeared to give them that and they could of kicked on.
As for Blackburn, what a shambles they are, its the ultimate case of owners treating clubs like toys, they just dont understand that there is not always a quick fix of keep sacking managers, give them time or dont appoint them!
