Nottingham Forest Rumours

01 Apr 2020 17:03:09
Now Wimbledon has been cancelled when due to start on june 29th, i can't see how football can restart the season.
They must have liased with the government to ask when restrictions would be likely to be lifted .
So that means no sporting event till at least the end of july.

01 Apr 2020 18:32:46
The number of deaths went from 300+ to 500+ in one day so it is not getting under control, the end of July is a pipe dream.

01 Apr 2020 19:24:05
Thats what i mean Cambridgeshire, how does football authorities think they can do something all other sports cant.
Ive heard play behind closed doors?
Easiest game to play behind closed doors and televise it is Wimbledon.

I read somewhere that the cancellation is also tied in with the 8 week preparation time (seems a long time but it is an art) required for the grass courts to be prepared. It’s right to cancel it but the actual start date isn’t much to go on, if prep work can’t be carried out a lot more events will need to be cancelled.
Hope everyone is keeping well and looking after their loved ones in this awful time.

You're exactly right 2tone, so many of these events require so many people together to get them ready, not only just the playing surfaces which is a big part at Wimbledon but all the other facilities as well.

I guess with government rules and advice right now they just can't go ahead with the required prep.

Subscription TV must be going through the roof right now.

Little consolation, but people can suspend their sky sport subscriptions to save a couple of bob.

Call 0800 151 2747 and say 'cancel Sky sports' when prompted and it will ask you if you want to pause your subscription until normality returns. All sports channels remain available. It takes about 30 seconds.

Fair point 2 tone but still can't see football continuing its season.
Gingerkid you don't need to pay for sky sports in this day and age.

02 Apr 2020 11:25:46
Put it this way 79, they are never going to go for your roll over the points to next season idea fella, you can't affect another whole season based on the last 9 remaining games of the previous season.

Sadly no one knows how long this is going to go on for and so can't make any decisions till it's nearly over.

Point taken with paying for Sky, but some like myself will be.

02 Apr 2020 11:44:56
I can’t see it either ff79- it’s a big announcement waiting to be made. God knows how they can sort out winners and losers fairly?

09 Mar 2020 15:08:24
Take this as u will, jus saw jack Colback driving through city centre in a Mercedes g wagon.

09 Mar 2020 16:08:36
I would not recognise him if i saw him, well spotted.

09 Mar 2020 18:52:28
Cambs surely his fiery red hair would be a bit of a clue?

09 Mar 2020 19:25:30
One thing seeing him on a pitch totally another sat in a car in a area he is unexpected to be in.

10 Mar 2020 11:18:26
Every chance he got connections during his time in nottm so not too strange to see him knocking about.

10 Mar 2020 22:50:33
Odd though, just when we have a couple of key midfielders injured and out for a while.

11 Mar 2020 10:19:45
Could it have been Ed Sheeran?
CARLO

11 Mar 2020 23:14:29
We aren't heading for league one carlo and Ipswich aren't going up.

12 Mar 2020 18:12:29
Perhaps it was Mick visiting his relations in Hucknall.

Good one carlo.

04 Mar 2020 11:14:24
Does anyone know the reason behind the Financial Directors contract being terminated?

04 Mar 2020 19:58:53
Yes, all of the people directly involved will know.

05 Mar 2020 21:05:31
We should not try to understand how big buisness works, just trust and support the owners to deal with it. god knows why any sane person wants to buy a football club in the first place as it's the only buisnes guaranteed to lose you money, not to mention the abuse they get for not spending even more?
92 clubs that play their part and they can't all be successful.
Clubs need to get together and pay players what can be afforded not what they want.
It's the only industry that pays out more in wages than it can afford and the likes of diakarhby isn't worth £500 a week and there lies the problem.

05 Mar 2020 21:22:29
Agreed 79. btw how many diakharby's have we been through recently? Now there lies a big problem.

06 Mar 2020 09:36:07
Maybe the Owner thought she was being paid too much.

06 Mar 2020 16:52:14
Sacked because she failed to spot we could sell the ground to the Chairman at a massive profit and failing to manipulate players contracts in the accounts. :-)

08 Mar 2020 21:33:48
Cant really sell the ground to the chairman as he's a QC and hasn't got that sort of money.
The owners have already paid for it when they bought the club from fawaz so you can't resell it to them either.

26 Feb 2020 17:15:15
McGuane signed. Honest.

26 Feb 2020 18:37:15
Yup. The club says so. Delay over, I retract all my former criticism and jokes. Let's now hope he proves worth the wait, despite all our midfield players he could be a great find.

26 Feb 2020 19:41:58
He isn't in for the first team yet though just the under 23's.

27 Feb 2020 05:08:04
It is believed that he will be in the under twenty threes untill the season finishes then will join the first team in pre season.

27 Feb 2020 17:02:21
Welcome McGuane, hope you get stuck in and see you for the first team next season fella.
