Nottingham Forest banter 3

 

Use our rumours form to send us Nottingham Forest transfer rumours.

Reading through the posts over the last few days and a wave of optimism seems apparent- one that we will win enough games to survive. Whilst I hope that is the case, we need to remember this team we have struggles to score goals and can’t defend- especially against set pieces. If I were any coach playing us I would make sure Forest were pressured not so much in and around our box but generally on each wing of the final third. An inability to defend such set pieces is glaringly obvious and something Nuno can’t seem to correct.
With us offering little threat up front, opposing teams can be safe to overload such areas to good effect. That’s just an honest observation. Man Utd did that well in the last 10 minutes of the FA Cup match.
So either Nuno comes up with some sort of offensive plan to mitigate this problem or we will continue to struggle. After all the best form of defence is attack. It’s down to the coach now, and sadly I don’t think he has it in his locker to sort out these problems.

Agree5 Disagree0

21 Mar 2024 21:21:24
Good post froggy son ?.

21 Mar 2024 21:31:13
Lol redfrog so the best form of defence is attack after nearly a season and half of parking the bus that you was happy with best statement of the year ??.

21 Mar 2024 21:41:03
So the best form of defence is attack then skeggs?
Brian clough would argue with that
His philosophy was to build from the back and have a solid defence first
And you can't argue with the greatest.

21 Mar 2024 22:08:22
Thank you DTP ? you've just agreed with what I said to redfrog I love you agreeing with me now I will sleep well nighty night.

22 Mar 2024 05:14:44
It’s a philosophy Skegs that most decent coaches have. Attack first, and let the opponent worry about stopping you, rather than the other way round. Sadly perhaps you and Nuno don’t quite grasp that facet of football.
Cooper did what he could with the dross the club accumulated as playing staff. Nuno is hardly doing any better is he? In fact I would say we are worse under Nuno, the heart has been ripped out of the club and the team spirit seems rather poor to me.

22 Mar 2024 07:49:55
Frog again you've completely lost me so your saying attacking football is best form of defence and cooper couldn't do that with the dross he had but Nuno should be able to ?? 2nd best comment of the year.

22 Mar 2024 09:35:00
Skegs your either a bit simple or trolling ?. The club is in a worse state now than when cooper was in charge. The team has no cohesion, the fans not together and behind the team. Nuno looks clueless and to be honest disinterested. But let’s not let facts get in the way.

22 Mar 2024 10:00:22
I don't after put a comment to that redfrog like I said your 2 comments above the one you just put show how clueless you are mate and still make no sense whatsoever.

22 Mar 2024 10:33:57
Actually skegs red frog has a valid point. You don’t see Man City sitting back, there on the attack from the first whistle. Just as long as your defence is in tune with the flow of the game and can see a possible break down in the attack and get back in numbers, there’s no reason for it not to work. But I’m afraid nuno lacks vision. Please correct me if I’m wrong but has he ever tried to connect to the fans, I can’t remember on any occasion.

22 Mar 2024 11:14:15
Oh my god it must be me a season and half under cooper of parking the bus with the same players Nuno has and you was happy with cooper playing defensive football now you want attacking football ??? and works both ways with the fans I'm off to give my head a wobble enjoy this conversation between yourselves because you've lost me.

22 Mar 2024 11:59:15
The REALfans loved cooper win or loose he always showed his appreciation to us. We’ve the heart ripped out of our club, and your correct it is a two way street, and when nuno shows a little love and more importantly gets his head around how much the club means to us, then i'd hope that two way street can be re opened. Coopers gone but he will never be forgotten.

22 Mar 2024 15:46:26
Absolutely Red Vale. Agree 100%
Don’t let Skegs get to you mate, some think on here that he’s a troll and most probably a Leicester or Derby fan in disguise. But he’s off to give his head a wobble so that’s ok. ? keep wobbling Skegs?
In the real world of Premier league football you’re completely correct- Nuno has done very little since arriving apart from moaning and whining. If he were to achieve what Cooper has achieved the fans would love him. But talking to many people they don’t.

21 Mar 2024 20:48:52
My wife's in a right mood because someone's stolen her knickers from the clothes line. She's not so much bothered about the underwear just the 12 pegs. ??

Honestly, women eh! You give them an inch and they fake a smile! ??

I went out for a run today but came back after 2 minutes because I forgot something. I forgot that I'm so fat I can't run for more than 2 minutes! ?????.

Where you dug those jokes up from stokey?

22 Mar 2024 09:37:23
As always Stokey.

21 Mar 2024 19:48:25
Apparently, we only need to raise 30 million by July to cover what we overspent. With the sale of Mangala to Lyon for 25 there's no need to panic. Plus some big earners out of contract and loans including Montiel and Reyna ect going back it will clear the books a bit. Also a new deal possible for Boly and Olana on the table.
Your right Skeggy Jay Forest holding out for at least 50 million each for MGW and Murrilo and they reckon the latter will eventually be worth 70 million so aren't going to have the proverbial pants pulled down with low ball offers if they need to sell. Suppose it also depends if they want to go aswell, which is par for the course for most clubs anyway.
So no need for panic Mr Mannering. PIKEY.

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Mar 2024 21:01:45
Cheers Clough and I would agree at least 70 for Murllo not like I would want to see him go.

21 Mar 2024 21:25:32
What we doing now skeggs playing manoply?
Well your bin dipper lawyers have missed a "LOOPHOLE"?????.

21 Mar 2024 21:57:04
Anyway I'm off to sleep DTP love to stay up and debate about things that your usually wrong about but I get so bored with being right all the time with you night night my little Derbyshire pal ?.

21 Mar 2024 22:10:04
What's up skeggs you ran out of cans?

22 Mar 2024 07:53:10
Morning DTP happy Friday pal ?.

21 Mar 2024 18:47:36
Leicester charged with FFP breach! Suddenly I don't feel so alone in the world! ????.

21 Mar 2024 21:08:49
Well overdue
Scum of a club
Caused everything and have always got away with it
What you got to say now skeggs about their clever lawyers? ??.

21 Mar 2024 21:20:04
There clever lawyers have put it off till next season when there in the premier league and stopped it happening this season while in championship so delayed it very good tactics from good lawyers pal ?.

21 Mar 2024 22:46:00
Great see where your real allegiance lies skeggs, but I've never doubted that your a bin dipper.

21 Mar 2024 15:52:00
Burnley away to stay up. Are the players up for it? Probably the only VAR to go our way, their goal disallowed for hand ball. I pray we don't need that win. ?.

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Mar 2024 16:32:34
Scouse it happened right in front of ‘A” block VAR gave the correct decision, the Burnley player carried the ball forward with his arm in the build up,

21 Mar 2024 16:49:41
It's totally down to players and coach now Scouse I'm really hoping it doesn't go to that game but it would be the forest way don't think I would be sitting in my recliner for much of that game if it came to it.

21 Mar 2024 17:55:16
Cheers Balloons, "Set Piece Coach"?!
Sir Brian would have "Set" him on his way out of the WFCG!
With a sore arse!

21 Mar 2024 18:38:25
Absolutely rogie mate and quite right.
Marinakas looking at moving to Toton mate. Born and bred there. Nice little village 7 miles from city centre. Perfect location right next to M1 easy for every body. Wack a 50, 000 seater there and everybody can get a ticket ?.

21 Mar 2024 18:49:40
No good moving to Toton
There's nothing around the sidings
No pubs nothing and it's not a village, never has been, joined up with long eaton, Chilwell and Attenborough, which is a village.

21 Mar 2024 19:42:21
Won't be built in our life time. Years of planning and objections then the whole side not just where the stadium would be built will have to be decontaminated as it's a brown field site. There's a 100years of coal oil diesel and lord knows what else is dumped there. The cost wouldn't be sustainable. If you think we're in the brown stuff now you wait and see if it gets built.

21 Mar 2024 19:49:12
Can you imagine how much a season ticket would be. Well the cheapest seats for a adult in Fulham New stand is 1, 250pounds going up to 3, 000 pounds. Think about it.

21 Mar 2024 22:48:14
It would not matter if it was a pound red Vale it would still be to much to get skeggs and balloons off the sofa.

21 Mar 2024 13:36:12
We need to employ the best set piece coach in the business as a matter of some urgency.

Our lack of awareness at corners and free kicks is quite frankly embarrassing both full backs should cover a post each and the centre half's should mark space with the defensive mids picking up the runners it's not rocket science it's something Cloughie drilled into his teams from the first to the last minutes.

Agree2 Disagree0

21 Mar 2024 14:01:10
We shouldn't need a bloody set piece coach!
These guys are highly paid Professionals, and have played football since probably 6 or 7 years old?
Absolutely pathetic excuses for not clearing your bloody lines!

21 Mar 2024 15:43:50
Happy Birthday Sir Brian. read his quote on the Club Twitter Account.
Ironic quote from an Iconic Boss. RIP.

21 Mar 2024 15:46:48
The defending from free kicks and corners is a psychological problem, it's like Eric Bristow couldn't release a dart when playing, as a unit we have a problem. At the moment we should try nothing fancy or "AVE it", the Peter Kay tactic ?.

21 Mar 2024 15:47:13
Bang on Rogie, Bravo buddy. They are in the club academy's at 8 years of age. Do nothing for years but kick a ball. But come Saturday and another £50, 000 in the bank They can't string two passes together. They will be wanting a backside wiping coach next. Make ya sick ?.

21 Mar 2024 15:47:36
We employed a guy called rusk who apparently has rarely been seen with the first team since Nuno took over. I don't understand this float it into the box nonsense. Whip it in with pace and power like Ward Prowse like Beckham used to do it only needs a touch then to hit the target. Don't understand why more players don't watch and learn from this. Mot only have we conceded the most set piece goals we only 4 from set pieces, Luton have 13.

21 Mar 2024 15:47:43
Rogie. Big for big in my day, shirt tight. Too many free headers and no one shouting 'get tight'. Basics are letting us down.

21 Mar 2024 11:12:25
Looking at the game at spurs on April 8th at 8:00 a clock, it will be a logistic nightmare for Nottingham Forest supporters, tube strike, railway on a work to rule!, For the support that make it, I hope the team put as much effort into getting a positive result.

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Mar 2024 13:19:11
Stop at home get a Chinese takeaway, 18 pack of Lager, wack the firestick on and have enough money left over to do it all over again many times. Why put yourself through it. You can even get a Skegs signature recliner for the occasion ??.

21 Mar 2024 13:30:46
Really looking forward to that game balloons it's great when the games are on at that time work done beer chilled recliner up dream days mate ?.

21 Mar 2024 15:06:39
Pitched that at the right height, and you two knocked it out of the ground.

{Ed001's Note - they really do themselves no favours at times.}

21 Mar 2024 15:18:07
Living the dream me lads and I don't do favours for anyone including myself I'm good like that ?.

21 Mar 2024 15:27:39
Baron got my ticket I’ll get there to watch the lads, don’t worry about the chuckle brothers mate, they don’t understand real fans, it’s their idea of so called banter,

21 Mar 2024 15:43:28
Thing is Ed and Barron, they actually think they are being clever, funny and they think they wind people up.
They couldn't be more wrong.
There are many words to describe the pair of them but you wouldn't post them ( and rightly so).

21 Mar 2024 15:49:42
Forest fans? Armchair supporters? It takes all sorts and I for one welcome all. FTID.

21 Mar 2024 15:50:25
That's a shame baldy I would liked to have read the lovely words you would of said about me mate.

21 Mar 2024 15:54:22
Ed001, I just hope for a power cut in Skegness on the night ?.

21 Mar 2024 16:32:21
Safe round trip Stevie f, and hope for the three points.

21 Mar 2024 16:38:10
Barron ????? funny mate ??.

21 Mar 2024 17:22:02
18 pack I thought is forest fans can drink.
No wonder I moved out of Skegness area (Winthorpe)
2 x 12 packs sound better.

21 Mar 2024 16:59:27
Baron cheers mate?let’s hope.

21 Mar 2024 18:06:57
Was you a regular at the seathorne arms stab in the heart.

21 Mar 2024 18:13:17
Hey Skegs. You wouldn't understand most of the words. Some of them are quite long. Laughter emoji.

21 Mar 2024 19:05:40
Makes me laugh gazza that they are proud of being stupid
Says it all.

21 Mar 2024 20:32:19
Just got a ticket sorted and travel
Happy days.

22 Mar 2024 03:21:59
Skews I was a regular in the sea view and the friendship on church lane before they closed it down.
My in laws still live up there and Luca has a season ticket and travels from Skegs for all the games.

22 Mar 2024 06:22:16
Had some good nights in the past in the old friendship.

22 Mar 2024 11:09:05
Marie was landlady and used to drink with a Chelsea fan in there.

22 Mar 2024 13:55:00
Yes mate Fred and Marie I'm probably going back 20 plus years mam and dad use to play darts from there some good lock ins.

22 Mar 2024 17:09:59
Yes I’m probably going back that far
I used to go in there with Chris there son
A guy called mark and we used to have the pub pretty much to ourselves
It was only when it closed did we move pubs to sea view.

20 Mar 2024 19:21:55
Arter and clattenburg first two out for me, should buy a new ball boy and lady steward fending off leeds supporters if it comes to it.
Remember west ham bringing in psycho, we know where his heart is.
If your going to bring in people to bring in supportive contributions then give that young man a chance.

The WFCG needs something to look up to. Manager and players are struggling to do it. Also the owner bless him on wrong decisions.
It's the and sorry for the cliche, eye of the tiger we need. Players can't go in hard these days. But there work rate and positional sense can be highlighted from the master. Away fans will never change, can't tell ya how proud i am of them. One for stokey, i Remember the yanks using the italian mafia as a massive influence as they invaded. Keeping it shy from it's allies like us.

GET THAT PISTOLS ROCKING FROM THE CHANGING ROOMS AND TRAIN THEM HARD TO GET THIGHS LIKE ARNIES. ? we need influence not f kn flatulence. COYR.

20 Mar 2024 19:50:48
Nice one mate, how about this should we go down and I for one don't think we will but if it happens could you see our Nigel coming in. I've been watching his interviews of late, he gets more like his dad every day.

20 Mar 2024 20:44:54
Red vale my friend, his old man had peter taylor, I've brought it up many times. We all know sir brian was the ultimate in discipline and keeping feet on the ground. But them days are gone. nigel for me. Without doubt served his apprenticeship. But it's sadly in the premier, old school has beens who somehow get the jobs. I actually think nigel would agree with me saying he's done more than enough for us on the pitch. And should stay well clear of the misgivings going on atm. Just my opinion.

20 Mar 2024 20:48:35
Those ships sailed along time ago
Just saying.

20 Mar 2024 20:53:36
Btw i only meant psycho as a training coach and influencer not head coach.

20 Mar 2024 21:03:44
I thought you was the binfluencer bowie in your tower block (Ant and Dec house) What is it this week? Cardboard or General waste? ??.

20 Mar 2024 21:33:29
Picked it up yesterday balloons check the back garden. Pssssst double glaze your glasses with them vodka bottle bottoms all about recycling ting ting.

20 Mar 2024 21:38:47
Yes you're probably right, I think he's on a mission with Mansfield. Balloons why are you so rude to people?, your not a child and I'm sure your a decent person so show some humanity. We're only on this earth for a short while so try and enjoy it.

20 Mar 2024 23:05:41
Don't waste your breath Red Vale mate. He's been like it ever since he came on here. You will notice the atmosphere change when he posts mate.

21 Mar 2024 05:03:13
Red Vale I'm having a laugh with Bowie as he does with me. We are the best of mates and take the rip out of each other all the time. Hense the title Banter page. Your new on here I believe so chill mate. You'll either join in or fold I'm my experience mate. Keep posting and enjoy mate. ?.

21 Mar 2024 10:28:40
I don't fold to anyone, nor will I be rude or patronising and sarcastic to fellow reds.

21 Mar 2024 10:51:56
Good reply Red Vale.
You will pick out the genuine from the wind up merchants on here quickly enough I'm sure mate.

21 Mar 2024 14:30:01
Bowie, my friend, in answer to your question mate about the Allies accommodation of the Mafia during the Sicily invasion, yes I was aware of it mate. In fact I recently read Paul Holland s excellent book “The Savage Storm” about the invasion of Italy in 1943, where it’s documented. It was a pragmatic policy approved by all the top brass right up to Eisenhower, Montgomery and Churchill. Our leaders were wise people in those days.

Mountbatten did the same in the Far East allowing the Japanese Army to remain in control in all the re conquered territories ( except India the British Jewel in the Crown) because firstly our Armed Forces were depleted and the soldiers ( mainly conscripts) just wanted to go home and secondly the locals had the fear of God put into them because they had seen how ruthless and barbaric the Japanese were. There was consequently a peaceful transition.

In contrast, after the Gulf War then Desert Storm a posh Harvard boy with no experience of the Middle East called Paul Bremer was put in charge of Iraq by George W. Bush. He disarmed and dismantled Saddams defeated Iraqi Army ( and Saddams Ba’aath party civil service). Consequently, the Americans and Brits had half a million unemployed disgruntled ex soldiers with no money causing trouble. This ignited Civil War with the numerous other sects so that we and the Americans lost many many more troops than we ever lost in the actual war and God only knows how many Iraqis died.

It’s just local knowledge mate and knowing how things work on the ground. The basis ( or should be) of all good Police Work and keeping the lid on things….

21 Mar 2024 15:35:10
Nice one stokey mate ? I've been pigging out on ww2 in colour, Netflix. As I'm on the sick again. Second time of viewing it all. Amazing footage keeps your feet firmly to the ground and reminds ya just how lucky we are since the great fight took place.
Actually while your there stokey, and any other elders on here. I have a strange question. I normally have a walk around the loch where i live. and the amount of people i pass with tourettes walking dogs is unreal. I know people probably think I've got it amount of swearing i do. But no seriously i can't for the life of me remember anyone in my younger days with it. By the way it really is obvious they have it. Did any of you lot in the 60s/ 70s know anyone with it?

{Ed001's Note - I am in the middle of watching through that too Bowie - excellent stuff.}

21 Mar 2024 15:59:00
My mum used to have it Bowie ?
She used to shout come Sebastian I'll kill ya. Well that's what it sounded like anyway ??.

21 Mar 2024 16:06:53
USA, USA, USA. At school I was taught they were our saviours. Defeated the Germans single-handedly, apparently. What a load of rubbish that turned out to be.

21 Mar 2024 16:21:38
Derby try asking the Russians who won the 2nd world war they’re in no doubt, it cost them 20 million lives who could argue.

21 Mar 2024 16:57:06
So what did you learn at school, derby? Believe me, without the yanks we'd have been spent. And don't ever put your ignorance before true judgement. Try asking a lot of American families who's loved ones give their lives young man.

21 Mar 2024 16:59:02
I'm aware of who effectively won the war, Stevie. It was just the pro-American rubbish I was fed at school.

21 Mar 2024 17:25:28
Good afternoon Bowie. I’m sorry to hear you are off sick. Hope it’s nothing too serious mate?
Like you and Ed 1 I’m fascinated by WW2 ( and history generally) because it seems so comparatively to me, born in 1956 so I grew up able to listen to family, friends and people generally who had gone through it.
It was a rare “righteous “ war against an evil, ruthless, barbaric Fascist enemy where that Golden generation stood up ( against incredible odds) for what was morally right. This country was for a long time ( 6 years) the last line of resistance against the advent of a new Dark Age and the end of civilisation. Churchill was right …. “ If this country lasts for a thousand years men will say “this was its finest hour”.
It makes me laugh when I hear politicians call for conscription. This country is no longer physically, mentally or morally able to endure the self sacrifice required. We saw that in the last existential threat we faced, c.v., when the divisions, acrimony and self interest which dominates the way things are run came to the fore. Like Carlo, I blame Thatcher ( ironically the last politician to embark on a morally right War in the Falklands) for her statement that there is no such thing as society.
Anyway, rant over. We ignore the lessons of history at our peril
As far as Tourette’s is concerned I never really came across it at all in my Police Service ( and you’d think it would come to our attention in the first instance). There was a ( legendary) Detective I worked with who holds the record for the most swear words ever in conversation, he could even insert one mid word never mind mid sentence ( as in effing excel effing ent or Su effing perb). But he controlled it when he wanted to (like giving evidence in Court for example so I guess he wasn’t truly subject to this affliction.
The only time I came across Tourette’s was after I’d retired from the Police and worked at the Public Analysts Office in Stafford itself for 9 years where I would regularly be treated to seeing a young guy rhh on a state of the art racing bike ( with all the newest gear and kit) weaving in and out of traffic gesticulating and swearing dogs abuse at everyone at the top of his voice whilst pointing aggressively.
I spoke to a local cop and he confirmed he had been arrested many times but never prosecuted due to him being a genuine Tourette’s syndrome sufferer. He had suffered numerous beatings at the hands of irate members of the public as well.

21 Mar 2024 20:15:08
Amazing reply stokey, man of the world. And much appreciated sir ?.

22 Mar 2024 07:48:11
Oh sorry, Bowie. They saved the world didn't they. Twice. Actually. Now they rule the world. They think they do, anyway. Super Yanks to the rescue.

22 Mar 2024 07:51:09
It doesn't hide the fact that what I was taught, regarding the USA defeated the Germans single-handedly, is totally incorrect. They were happy making money off selling weapons to all and sundry.

22 Mar 2024 09:18:54
Derby whoever taught ya the yanks done it single handedly was way off. Surely everyone knows that. Dunno how your history teacher got the job?

22 Mar 2024 10:41:59
It was in D*rbyshire though, Bowie. What do you expect?

20 Mar 2024 17:29:44
If we win the next 2 home games and Luton lose theirs then I think we will just about be OK. I don't care who plays just go out and smash em into the wall, " take no prisoners guvnor, sweat blood and thunder, let's show these dogs what it takes to win a war "

Agree3 Disagree0

20 Mar 2024 17:25:44
Well if we get relegated it won't matter anyway because we will have to sell and players will go for a lot less anyway. But if we stay up then we will find out by the end of June if and who goes for what price, won't we pal. ?.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Mar 2024 18:40:11
You ok Clough pal.

20 Mar 2024 22:47:37
All good Skeggy Jay pal???☹️???☺️all good.

I see Gary Godden, an ex Nottinghamshire copper and Labour's new Nottinghamshire crime officer has thanked NOTTS FOREST blah blah Notts Forest. pratt!

Agree5 Disagree0

20 Mar 2024 10:31:36
I don’t know him but I wish to disassociate myself from his remarks! ????.

20 Mar 2024 14:36:11
Why does it bother you if someone says Notts Forest, are peoples life's that empty simple things like that upset you. Who cares Notts Forest, Nottingham Forest does it really matter. Does it lift us put the relegation zone?
Ridiculous ?.

20 Mar 2024 16:16:48
Doesn’t bother me one bit either but I’m not from Nottingham so I’m guessing it is just a ‘Nottingham’ thing? Some get really rattled by it ??‍♂️.

20 Mar 2024 17:42:45
Must be a nottingham thing as it really winds me up, that ain't what we called or known as, bit lazy n ignorant from them who say it.

20 Mar 2024 19:03:39
It's because we have two clubs in Nottingham, one Nottingham and the other notts, rivalry can cause issues when incorrectly naming a club
Tbh most just call us forest.

20 Mar 2024 18:48:16
Balloons why does it bother you, that people are bothered by it? yours life obviously empty too,

20 Mar 2024 19:00:39
Cos it ain't Nottinghamshire Forest, it's Nottingham Forest, but if you're a Derby/ Stoke/ Leicester man you won't get it. ??.

20 Mar 2024 19:47:23
I don’t get cyclists either ??‍♂️?.

20 Mar 2024 20:03:13
Would anyone call the magpies Nottingham County?
No don’t think so.
So get out bloody name right please - not a lot to ask.

20 Mar 2024 20:20:01
Oh dear 2 tone that's why you don't get it ??.

20 Mar 2024 20:27:13
Evening Mr Angry AKA stevie. Just can't help ya self can ya ??.

Wow that's told me cyclist. How do I get our of this one ????.

20 Mar 2024 20:41:47
Balloons only mr angry on here is you, slagging off the club and everything to do with it on every possible occasion, and having a pop at everyone in general, and with hypocrites like you, I can’t help myself you’re correct,

20 Mar 2024 21:04:58
That's the kind of guy I am o angry one ???.

20 Mar 2024 21:19:26
Balloons ??????hilarious.

20 Mar 2024 21:48:42
2tone, The whole cycling in the City is fecking dangerous and I should stop while I'm still breathing. We are risk-takers and want to stay fit so we can get out of bed and clothes without assistance as along as possible.

Nothing to get out of Balloons regarding what I said. If you get it, you get it. If Nuno doesn't get his sh1t together, though, I don't see how you can get out of admitting you were wrong repeatedly and publicly on here. AGAIN! ?.

21 Mar 2024 06:59:27
Never known balloons to be wrong cyclist he said cooper couldn't cope with premiership football and would be sacked because his football was rubbish. (Right) Also we needed a new manager (right) also cooper would not get a offer of a job from palace or any other premiership team (right) and cyclists shouldn't be allowed on the road (right) ????.

21 Mar 2024 07:49:44
Skegs, you and Balloons were on here telling us how Mr Nuno was a winner blah, blah, blah.

"If Nuno doesn't get his sh1t together, though, I don't see how you can get out of admitting you were wrong repeatedly and publicly on here. AGAIN! ?. "

Comprende?

21 Mar 2024 07:53:36
ETA: I hope you were both right, because the evidence so far is that you weren't right and Nuno is pretty useless and I don't want my club to go down.

Your record at being wrong about bosses is pretty strong, which is yet another worrying sign! ?

I'm also not into replacing the boss every 5 minutes, been there done that. Hopefully things turn around quickly.

21 Mar 2024 09:08:19
Patients dear chap. The mammoth task nuno has got of getting 2 years of parking the bus out of there systems is slowly materialising. At least we attack and have shots on target now.
Look at West Ham this season as opposed to last season. Look how long it took Arteta at Arsenal. We survive this season. Clean slate and go again next year. You'll see I'm right. You won't have your 15 minutes of fame at my expense. My football knowledge is to vast. You need to get over the Cooper worship and move on for the sake of your well being mate ?.

21 Mar 2024 12:12:38
Only 2 people mentioned the old coach in this thread. One day you will be right. Been waiting 3 years now. Tic, tic, tic.

20 Mar 2024 04:49:26
The Times claim we have to sell a 'star player' before the end of June or we'll fail this season's PSR. Is that before or after the Mangala deal goes through?

Agree1 Disagree0

20 Mar 2024 06:50:28
That’s us in the mire then ? where do we find a ‘star’ player from.

20 Mar 2024 07:22:24
Agree 2tone, not many to choose from given their performances this season. Perhaps Elanga may be looked at by other clubs, the rest not so sure.

20 Mar 2024 08:14:39
Murrilo boys he's the one he'll be gone like a hot potato if any of the big boys sniff around. Plus MGW and Awoniyi have interested clubs looking at them. But definitely Murrilo he won't wanna hang around if Liverpool or Arsenal come knocking, probably already told the bosses he wants offside.

20 Mar 2024 09:12:45
I was listening to a sport lawyer on the radio, he was saying Chelsea will have to sell 200 million worth of players and at least 3 home produced players, one being Gallagher, and having to get at least 50 million for him. If not there punishment this time next year, will make ours and Evertons a slap on the wrist. Oil rich Newcastle are having to sell as well, it's a way of keeping the money between a few teams, and Premier titles. Ambitious owners will go elsewhere or invest in other sports, and these rules don't stop a unscrupulous owner taking over a club look at Reading, it might have Mr Marinakis, at the end of the season saying "I'm off, I don't get this hassle with Rio Avenue! ".

20 Mar 2024 09:15:19
Murillo will be the most profitable. Signed for £12 million. We would make a healthy profit on him. Same with Elanga as well. Signed for £15 million. We could make a profit on him also. Then the club can waste it on rubbish.

20 Mar 2024 09:20:53
Murillo on 30 thousand a week 5 year contract even if we go down to championship we wouldn't after getting rid of him on them wages he would only go if a stupid amount of money came in for him.

20 Mar 2024 12:16:23
Very funny derbyred about par for the club in the last 20 years barring a few.

20 Mar 2024 12:24:57
Not about the wages skeggy Jay its about how much we have spent this season when the accounts are submitted in June. Plus last season plus 1 from the championship will be counted as the permitted 3 years, by my reckoning that will mean we will be allowed to lose 83 million. So if we are over budget again it will be see you later alligator to one or 2 players. Plenty of admirers for Murrilo and MGW. As we know loyalty in football is dead, can't see them 2 wanting to stick around if any of the top 7 come lurching like vultures even if we weren't in FFP trouble. The elite will always win " us small clubs just have to suck it up, make these players better players then let those knob scratches cherry pick who they want
. At least we will make a small profit which we can then waste on crap.

20 Mar 2024 12:54:28
I know what it's about Clough daddy same as it was for Johnson but we still hold all the cards to how much we get for him same as Johnson we don't after take peanuts for him or we keep him and sell mgw it would be the latter for me anyway we will be staying up so not really a concern.

20 Mar 2024 14:16:53
Well let's hope your right. Don't matter how much we hold out for though mate if a player wants offski then so be it, get rid. No point in keeping a player if he wants to go. Anyway my point wasn't about how much we get but having to sell because we overspent massively because our owner acted like a brat in a sweet shop. So it could be one or both that go, maybe none but I can see us selling at least one. Personally I think MGW will be happy to stay for the time being but think Murrilo who's been here a season would knock. on the door saying he wants to go if any of the top clubs come sniffing. Fight relegation at a new prem club or play chsmpions league football and have a chance of silverware. Loyalties don't exist anymore pal.

20 Mar 2024 14:46:11
Nobody's going to buy old chandelier legs Awoniyi. He's a total dud 10 games a season if all goes well.
We're stuck with him sadly but we're not going down anyway so roll on next season. This one's dead in the water for the second time in 2yrs. When you look how crap West Ham were last season and look at there league position now. Why couldn't we do that. We spent more money. Thank you Mr Cooper?.

20 Mar 2024 14:47:36
I know that there's only loyalty to money and I'm not sure about the fact mgw would be happy to stop here more than the fact I couldn't see any of the big teams making a move for him wouldn't say he's had a great season so far Murillo on other hand would get the pick of top 6 clubs but has I said at the right price pal.

20 Mar 2024 16:31:16
Someone still doesn't understand that the manager doesn't buy the players at forest.

20 Mar 2024 19:08:06
We don't know that we would need to sell players, we have some big earners off the books at end of June with their contracts up
Journalists won't know the current financial situation of forest or other clubs, they are just assuming
They might be right, but then again they could be wrong.

20 Mar 2024 21:51:38
You predict it 79 your always wrong ?.

20 Mar 2024 22:29:50
Where is there a prediction in my post?

19 Mar 2024 22:32:43
If we are fortunate enough to survive will we revert to type and start bringing in more poor over priced players instead of preparing in a measured assured way.
I tend to think our over ambitious owner and his lieutenant, s will just just get carried away again and it will be rinse and repeat.
CARLO.

Agree2 Disagree0

19 Mar 2024 22:58:55
So you wish for a new owner?
Good luck with that carlo
No one buys a club worth nothing like forest unless they have ambition
The big man has that.

19 Mar 2024 23:26:06
If we survive it won’t be fortunate we will have earned it,

20 Mar 2024 07:25:33
I suppose you’re right Stevie but I don’t think we are any better than the teams that will come up from the championship so next season looks a struggle as well.
We are desperate for an identity and a way of playing.

20 Mar 2024 10:19:19
The big man has an ego, that is called blind ambition and usually as in this case leads to trouble.
CARLO.

20 Mar 2024 11:42:07
Carlo nobody had a bigger ego than Brian clough, don’t suppose you ever moaned about him, not many shrinking violets make billion dollar fortunes,

20 Mar 2024 12:24:52
The owner has his faults, no question about that but what’s done is done. I see Murillo m g w and Elanga going even if we stop up. But that should leave enough cash to buy a couple of replacements. It’s quality not quantity that we need.

20 Mar 2024 12:56:36
The doom and gloom why do you see all these players if we go up there all on long contracts and if they are sold it will be for good money so not the end of the world.

20 Mar 2024 12:58:58
Never said I want a new owner, like the current one to act more responsible, this is England not Greece.
Sir Brian was much better with PT, he reined his ego in, but different times.
CARLO.

20 Mar 2024 13:15:55
Good post Carlo.
