Is Edu the catalyst for all this unrest at our club I think he might be
In which case get rid now!
11 Oct 2025 13:26:16
All seems a little too coincidental if you ask me.
Use our rumours form to send us Nottingham Forest transfer rumours.

So Ross Wilson has been poached by Newcastle? Did Edu reduce his scope of work? No idea.
I really hope we are not entering a phase of huge churn at Forest. That’s not to say I am supportive of Ange - I am not really, and it is a strange appointment to me - but as a club overall we have had decades of churn + change, much of which has sped up.
Now is the time for structure, cool heads and good decision making. I feel nervous about this season so let’s hope things improve.
11 Oct 2025 16:46:11
Might be too early, but maybe take a glance at the table and have look who might finish below us come May. The promoted trio have had a good start and other likely candidates seem stronger than last year so you're right to be worried. I think we all need a good Christmas!
11 Oct 2025 18:46:33
Edu is the devil on Mr. M's Shoulder.
10 Oct 2025 21:01:03
Anyone watching the Northern Ireland game?
Young side playing with a lot of heart and energy. Our coaching staff should be taking note. ?.
11 Oct 2025 09:13:21
Yes, a great performance from the young N. Ireland team. What a fantastic second goal! On the volley lob over the keeper. The lads played with heart, fast pace and the closing down brilliant. But Slovakia were poor tonight, though that was mainly down to the NI team!
10 Oct 2025 14:29:55
It says something about how far Forest have come. In last nights game there were 7 first team or ex Forest players involved. Never known this before but I expect someone will come up with a better answer!
Why can't the management be straight with their paying customers (fans) and tell us what has been decided about Posta. what's his name.
10 Oct 2025 16:41:18
Your talking about Nottm Forest, the mushroom treatment.
10 Oct 2025 17:13:40
If they haven't told us anything maybe they've nothing to say?
Never fancied him as manager but we stuck with him now so may as well give him a window of chance to turn it round
Think next international break could be the time depending on next few games if we in bottom 3 n not won in europe he'll be put out his misery, 3 managers in a season tho not a good look.
10 Oct 2025 20:39:48
Looks like he's staying. would just like to see more of the the same when we played the first 45 mins against betis. no palmer for Chelsea when we play them and hopefully luiz back for us it's a winnable game but would be happy with a point and a good performance.
10 Oct 2025 10:37:58
Just drove over Trent Bridge, sure I saw some vultures circling. ??.
10 Oct 2025 10:54:54
Seeing if Edu was there?.
10 Oct 2025 14:31:29
Give it a rest, he'll be in charge for the next three games at least. Time to get over it and back him??.
10 Oct 2025 16:40:04
That’s your choice, it’s not mine or many others seemingly.
10 Oct 2025 16:47:00
Nope, it's a Banter site for opinions and at the moment Postecoglou is the main topic! Until the Club make a statement backing him the specatation will continue.
10 Oct 2025 19:05:08
Its not really banter when your continuously posting the same crap daily. ?.
10 Oct 2025 19:06:34
Definitely not backing the Arrogant Koala ?!
He's made a living from being a Charlatan and the sooner he goes the better!
10 Oct 2025 20:51:47
How far has your constant whinging and whining got you? ?.
10 Oct 2025 09:22:22
Neco Williams has his limitations but always gives 110 per cent every game as does Anderson Milenkovic Murrilo Dominguez and Jesusbut we do not play in a 6 a side league and imo leaving Sels out of it we have 4 players blagging it at the moment and they know who they are.
10 Oct 2025 10:59:38
If you can learn anything from Tuchel, you can leave your *Stars* out for the good of a team unit, instead of a team of individuals!.
10 Oct 2025 11:41:04
I agree Gibbs White Hudson Odoi Ndoye and Sangare are not putting a shift in at the moment
McAtee Hutchinson Bakwa and Dominguez for me until Luis fit.
10 Oct 2025 17:09:06
Ndoye been decent I think, mcatee looks like a 14 year old playing mens football, not sure what issue is with Hutchinson as he's looked decent when coming on but never starts
That chuffing zinchenko who breaks me.
10 Oct 2025 20:42:27
Agree redstripe I like Hutchinson should be given a start.
11 Oct 2025 15:52:03
Hutchinson should be getting a chance in prem, save ndoye and bakwa for europa, they not showed enough to me in games to see them as certain starters.
10 Oct 2025 07:39:33
{Ed's Note - Thestigno1 has posted a new article entitled, If Steven Gerrard Returns To Rangers, Let's Finish What We Started
09 Oct 2025 18:19:38
I guess no decision means he's staying. This feels like an uncomfortable season despite the players' best efforts.
09 Oct 2025 18:52:47
Not sure about " the players best efforts" use.
A few not putting in a shift as far as I'm concerned mate.
09 Oct 2025 19:18:52
Can't really blame the players you need a strong coach. someone who can get them together and play as a team is that not what a coach is supposed to do bring a bit of belief. We seen it with cooper we seen it with nuno. can't really say anymore maranakis owns the club his decision at the end of the day he obviously wants to see exciting attacking football like most fans. but apart from 45 mins I haven't seen anything just reminds me of watching rocky train running around trying to catch a bunch of chickens.
09 Oct 2025 20:37:00
I wonder if the geordie fans are more gutted about seeing elliot Anderson turning into a great england player or the fact they lost isaak. Anderson is a player and half so lucky we have him for now.
09 Oct 2025 20:56:48
Brilliant Rocky assumption lol!
10 Oct 2025 10:51:10
No news is good news as they say.
09 Oct 2025 12:09:54
No argument with Ange he's just not the right fit.
At the games there's no inspiration coming from the touch line. Just stands there a forlorn figure.
The players are obviously finding it hard to adjust to his style of play. My view is it's a big mistake to keep him here any longer.
Possibly another three points lost when Chelsea arrive and it will all blow up again. As for keeping him till the end of the season well Championship here we come.
And how many more years will we be in the wilderness can you see Marinaskas hanging around if that happens not a chance.
09 Oct 2025 15:07:36
I imagine Ange like a lot of us will be hoping for an injury free international break this weekend. We could have three players featuring tonight for some/ most of the match. Might be a nervous watch with Anderson probably needing a little rest. A word about Morgan, does he feel he is unique? In his own bubble? Is he reading the game properly?
09 Oct 2025 17:37:08
The trajectory of our luck at the moment is heading towards rock bottom, it would be Sods Law that Williams tackles Anderson and puts him out for months ?.
09 Oct 2025 18:27:41
I think Williams will have a good game against us tonight and might even score a goal.
09 Oct 2025 19:08:34
Actually awesome to see two of our best British players playing on the biggest international stage. Fingers crossed to no injuries and hopefully a goal a piece. ?.
09 Oct 2025 22:09:23
To answer your question on MGW, yes yes and no can't wait to see the back of him.
10 Oct 2025 09:31:15
Agreed Red Vale he’s been blagging it since he signed his new contract!
He ought to be charged with obtaining money under false pretences ??
He might be at Forest in body but not in spirit or effort let him go to Spurs in January and either give McAtee a chance get Anderson to play 10 or bring in someone like Justin Kluivert.
09 Oct 2025 10:19:43
If as it looks we are keeping Postacoglu we need to give him some security till the end of the season for the sake of the players
He isn't my choice but we cannot expect him to manage with the sword hanging over his head every game
BACK HIM OR SACK HIM! NOW Mr M.
09 Oct 2025 11:35:48
You know after every game we lose there will be a massive inquest into his future, he's like cat nip to the pundits!, there's already one who says we will sack him three hours before the Chelsea game, it's the Forest way?.
09 Oct 2025 13:35:42
Bang on mate.
08 Oct 2025 22:58:45
I blame the players who were already here and whoever didn't recruit sufficient cover in defence. The new manager and Nuno made mistakes (we've been sh14 since April 1st last season) but the form of our key players is nowhere (MGW, Wood, CHO and recently Sels) and the new boss doesn't even have half of the defence that Nuno was lucky didn't get injured last season.
SO who didn't sign what we need? Who is not capable of doing a job this season like put a ball in the net? Who gives the ball away all the time (I'll give you a clue: It definitely isn't Ange and is MGW). Who caused the injuries to our defence (CLUE: NOt Ange).
I'm sick of hearing the hate that is based on Tabloid BS. Grow a pair and admit what the real problems are at Forest!
09 Oct 2025 09:37:42
I don't blame Ange my issue is Ange isn't the right manager to fix it his football was awful last season and we look like Spurs last season who currently sit 3rd after sacking him, players are human and tensions will affect them its clear Nuno wanted to go and engineered his exit we can sit and point fingers but let's face it we will never know all we can do is move forward get a manager the players trust as they clearly don't trust Ange they see his Premier league record like we do I bet the players feel like us, they way Ange conducts himself in interviews is embarrassing reminds me of a certain Billy Davis in some ways, all I hear is we're making progress we're on the right path, the right path Leaking goals at nearly 3 game and toothless up front if we were getting nil nil and were starting with being hard to beat yes I would buy right path but we look lost and completely devoid of any game plan I just can't see where the next win is complimg from right noe.
09 Oct 2025 12:12:31
Both Nuno and Ange can both be blamed for some things for sure. What happens on the training ground and pitch is partly down to them and partly down to the layers. Funamentally who has been recruited is crucial, NOT JUST WHO IS RECRUITED AS COACH.
What worries me is that the biggest problems are probably not down to either of them.
But I'm also irritated by the outright hatred that follows the narrative of the gutter press. It's absolutely awful and football fans at their worst.
Players and coaches are human beings who are in most cases doing their best on a personal and professional level. They are also following instructions from their bosses (Edu and Marinakis) and can only work with the tools they have.
If injuries, poor recruitment (meaning players are also working only alongside who has been recruited or fit), not enough time to work with players due to internationals and 2 matches a week or other factors are at play, every fan needs to ask themselves whether that is the fault of the coach. The truth is it isn't.
08 Oct 2025 19:33:36
FAWAZ
That’s all I’m going to say. Things are bad I know, but we are in the premier league after all these years and we don’t have Fawaz as the owner.
We get a real manager and we will be back up and running.
08 Oct 2025 19:50:45
Edu that's all I'm going to say.
08 Oct 2025 20:23:15
Agree with you both. Get rid of Ange and Edu and recruit a top manager - then our way forward is secured.
09 Oct 2025 05:06:10
It seems since the arrival of Edu the ruckus started.
Blame Marinakis for appointing edu and the sacking of Nuno.
09 Oct 2025 06:35:18
Whoever the tea lady is she's to blame giving them to much green tea! Might as well blame her nobody mentioned her yet ???☕☕☕.
09 Oct 2025 09:50:44
I know things are real sh*te ATM. Constant change isn't the answer. Ange inherited a rubbish storm and I hope he gets the right amount of time to see if he can bring some cohesion to the team. we are like 7 games into the season and are playing in Europa. Stop acting like we should be pushing for top of the table. Only through adversity will we become stronger. We are at a massive crossroads where we have plateaued, whether that is beautiful he said she said BS, it doesn't matter so stop whining and give all of the club our support. We have the players to make us great, say what you want about Ange, he's the most successful manager to coach us for decades, his style may dig his grave or take us to the next level. Time will tell and hopefully he gets enough time to influence the group.
09 Oct 2025 10:27:09
Very sensible posts. Someone that knows and understands football better than all of us, said it’s ridiculous to consider sacking AP, and he should be given a chance to turn things round ( see Martin O’Neil interview SkySports.
09 Oct 2025 22:03:45
Not ridiculous at all Nono. The vast majority of commercial management jobs in the UK have a 3 month probation period - where either party can cease the employment with 'no strings attached' if they feel that the fit isn't right. Why should football management be any different?
08 Oct 2025 17:46:27
Remember alan bugger, years ago. Saying, could never put millions into a club again. All ya get is rubbish from fans. Don't get me wrong my frustration, (especially north east, and drink at time) draws me into it. For stokey, ( never on the field of conflict, was so much owed to one) ok ok elaborated on Churchill. But clough would have used it. big M brought us from, years of sh#t football. Never forget that. FTID.
08 Oct 2025 21:04:13
As far as i'm concerned mate Mr M can still walk on water ish, maybe he needs armbands now as he's showed he's human??.
