So Newcastle want MGW, but need to sell
Almiron is one they want to sell to the suadi pro league, but he doesn't fancy it
It's already becoming apparent that a lot of players now not wanting to go there no matter the riches they offer
The bubble has burst already.
1.) 26 Jan 2024 09:08:47
Who'd have thought that playing in front of three fans for £250k a week against a bunch of nobodies would become tedious? Well I never.
Bloody bubble lasted longer in the Chinese Super League lol.
2.) 26 Jan 2024 22:24:13
Well said sutty.
3.) 27 Jan 2024 11:24:30
Ha ha, yes, great synopsis Wonky.

Dennis off to transbonsor on a season long loan
Hopefully he bangs in plenty of goals so we can recover our outlay on him.
1.) 07 Sep 2023 23:36:32
If he bangs in lots of goals, he might realise his potential.
Doubt it though.
02 Sep 2023 00:23:04
Singare done deal
I know you said he wouldn't come edd
Do you think we got a good signing at 30 million?
Personally to give up champions league football and sign for us is a massive coup?
{Ed002's Note - Yes he is a very good player. Hanging on to him may prove an issue.}
1.) 02 Sep 2023 09:47:09
We'll triple our money at least. ?.
2.) 02 Sep 2023 11:27:32
Sangare? I can't believe it finally happened. Origi could turn out to be a pretty shrewd signing too if Cooper can build up his confidence.
Don't forget, we have also signed two Argentina internationals, Montiel (world cup winner) and Dominguez, and England international in Hudson-Odoi, a Belgian international CF (Origi), another international keeper and more really promising younger players.
Add to that mix Danilo and Awoniyi and it's looking good.
Most important of all, we still have our best player, the man-mountain that is Felipe!
Anyone who isn't excited to be a Forest supporter after the last 25 years must have something wrong with them.
3.) 02 Sep 2023 11:42:50
Think we've all seen from Brighton how you can't keep really good players edd, but at least it comes with the advantage of making big profits to reinvest in players while not worrying about ffp?
{Ed002's Note - FFP is not specifically about transfers.}
4.) 02 Sep 2023 13:54:12
Yes Ed, operating losses over a 3 year period?
{Ed002's Note - No, not just that.}
01 Sep 2023 20:01:44
Sangre has arrived in Nottingham to undergo his medical
Just gets better.
1.) 01 Sep 2023 20:50:57
He is the new Yaya Toure. Please get this one done. ?.

Taveres done deal official site
There coming in now.

Season card big rises just announced.
1.) 17 Apr 2024 11:48:22
Tell me about it!
My 3 gone up bout 20% works out £55 a game whichbi can live with however it's now doubled in price from 1st season in prem
Gotta pay for lingard Dennis sangare 2 rubbish keepers n a load of others mind.
2.) 17 Apr 2024 12:41:34
With over 10, 000 on the supposed waiting list isn’t it time the owner and city council got the ground improvements sorted one way or another, new stand or move away. Can’t see much of a roof lifting atmosphere at the next home game.
3.) 17 Apr 2024 14:21:55
I’mnot an advocate for moving but when you see other stadiums then take a look at the city ground you do realise it’s a bit shabby, and that’s being kind. We all know the peter Taylor stand isn’t fit for purpose, then look at the Trent end, it’s a death trap at half time. You have people queuing up for the bar and both toilets, you just can’t move. Can’t see any solution to this issue other than a new stadium big enough to accommodate all the issues. If the owner is ambitious to move the club forward then let’s have a stadium fit for it. And yes next season we might be in the championship, but that shouldn’t matter, let’s plan for the future.
4.) 17 Apr 2024 18:32:55
You don't have to go stripe. Spend you money at Recliners R us. A 65" TV and a crate of ale like skegs ??.
25 Mar 2024 20:04:46
So we have appealed against the points decision, hope our team of lawyers have got a good case and it doesn't go the other way and we get our points increased to six.
1.) 25 Mar 2024 21:27:21
Never mind if cooper had not got us in this mess we would be ok down to Nuno now hope he does it.
2.) 25 Mar 2024 21:47:08
Skegs ? so cooper sanctioned the overspend?
3.) 25 Mar 2024 22:50:22
Nothing to do with Cooper Jay. Stop fishing ?.
4.) 25 Mar 2024 22:15:05
Thought you was having a romantic meal and a few pints with balloons skeggs?

6.) 26 Mar 2024 09:40:32
Or a worm 79.
23 Mar 2024 21:03:52
Well after watching England play Brazil.
We are toothless without kane
It's time we got kids from the streets of Skegness and teach them there is a better life, playing and learning the game on the beach like the Brazilians
Gallagher?
Konsa
Watkins
Gordon? ?
Maguire? nowhere near good enough.
1.) 23 Mar 2024 21:56:26
Ben Chilwell?
Awful as well
No game plan
No real threat and against the worst Brazil side in years.
2.) 24 Mar 2024 08:27:52
Don’t think even the Brazilian players could play on quicksand in a force 9 gale mate especially with the smell of burgers and onions up their nostrils.
18 Mar 2024 14:28:05
Four points it is then
Now we no get some points on the board
Quite lenient.
1.) 18 Mar 2024 15:12:47
While City carry on regardless. "nothing to see here! "
2.) 18 Mar 2024 15:45:20
This will please the conspiracy theories, beat Luton minus 6 draw minus 4.
3.) 18 Mar 2024 16:05:22
Only one reason we go down with a. 4 point deduction……because we are s***! No one else to blame!
4.) 18 Mar 2024 16:40:27
That's right 2star down to Nuno and players now.
5.) 18 Mar 2024 17:36:22
I too think 4 points is quite lenient DTP. I suppose I'm just glad that both the players and supporters know where we are and what we need to do results-wise now.
17 Mar 2024 23:30:28
There is one thing that some fans don't understand
We had a genius of a manager in clough back in the day, it was great and a time to enjoy, the problem when you have to move on from that great manager is who. can fill that void?
Frank filled it initially with the help of a genius striker in collymore, when collymore left we were done, then apart from Bassett and van hoydonk and Campbell for one season we've struggled with bad decision after bad decision from second owner after scholar fleeced the fans as the first
Then along comes fawaz
Hearts in the right place but he's a fridge magnet not the rich Arab he portrayed
So we come to marinakis?
Well in a few years he's done more by a million. miles, yes maybe impatient at times, but there is a determination to get is back to the top. and we are a money pit to any owner, we own nothing as a club and a business, so who would invest in that?
Whatever happens it wasn't for not trying from the owner
The players aren't crap at all its about finding the best blend.
1.) 18 Mar 2024 02:57:16
A number of the people now blaming the players were blaming the coach before he was replaced and saying Cooper should be doing well with these players.
2.) 18 Mar 2024 10:18:44
Cooper didn’t want all those players, he was quoted as saying that he wanted to keep the team that took us up. But he was only the coach not the manager, so a bus load of new faces arrived with only a few weeks to get a side out of them. People knock cooper but I sit in the upper Trent end and I’ve never heard anyone calling him. Me, I’ll always be grateful to the man for what he did for us TRUE reds. Wembley was the best. The city ground doesn’t rock anymore.
3.) 18 Mar 2024 10:56:30
Cooper definitely enjoyed buses especially parking them some of the most boring football I've seen since Dougie freedman.
4.) 18 Mar 2024 11:00:36
When we first went up we got O'Brien, Toffolo, Bowler, Neco and MGW. I think all these players had input from SC, maybe naive for the Premier, we will never know because Mr 30% got involved and brought any player with a pulse!.
5.) 18 Mar 2024 11:09:38
Cooper continually overruled by non football people, the same people still roam the corridors of the CG and while they have so much influence things will continue to deteriorate.
A group of ex players and at the time current players told Cooper to stand up to them because they would sack him anyway but unfortunately he didn’t take their advice ands low and behold he got the sack for their decisions.
These peoples over ambitious ideas for Forest are what’s put us where we are today, possibly relegated.
CARLO.
6.) 18 Mar 2024 11:18:24
The big glaring difference is he got us up Skeggs did he not?
7.) 18 Mar 2024 11:31:45
Well Skeggs we can all have an opinion, as a season ticket holder i have mine, haven’t missed a game since retirement even having brain surgery long the way. I don’t know which cooper your referring to because freeman couldn't hold a candle Stevie cooper. Perhaps your thinking of Tommy cooper, then you would be right as Tommy cooper and dougie freeman were both comics.
8.) 18 Mar 2024 11:47:59
On another note, cooper was the only person to get a tune out of Jed spence, even warnock couldn’t do that.
9.) 18 Mar 2024 11:49:25
That's right we are all entitled to our opinions and rogie he did great in the championship the football was good he could change a game with subs premiership he was crap football was boring simple and red vale Tommy cooper probably of done better mate ?.
10.) 18 Mar 2024 11:50:43
Dane Murphy soon saw how things were behind the screen at Forest, realising he would be banging his head against a brick wall he got out while he still had a good reputation after trying to fight Coopers corner against non listening CEO, s directors owner ect.
CARLO.
11.) 18 Mar 2024 11:54:56
Morning Rogie, hope your hangover is nicer than mine!
The other glaring difference is that Cooper proved he knew how to KEEP US UP. We were 5 points outside the bottom three when he left. If we were another 5 outside now we'd all be a bit less scared. If the current trend continues, Nuno is taking us down, regardless of points deductions.
Please no! Whatever happens, we need to survive this mess of a season.
Let's hope that giving up the spirit the club had does not mean we can't finish the season with the same passion we did last season, because that is how we stayed up.
12.) 18 Mar 2024 12:19:46
I'm alright mate, watched a few episodes of Father Ted too!
Never tire if it lol.
13.) 18 Mar 2024 12:26:02
Just like that, skeggs.
14.) 18 Mar 2024 12:40:15
Mrs Doyle and too many cups of tea this weekend!
15.) 18 Mar 2024 14:26:35
Skeggs got a cooper fetish, news flash mate, he’s gone, we got your ‘ proven prem’ manager in charge, move on,
16.) 18 Mar 2024 14:53:01
Newsflash Stevie boys got a skeggy fettish he only reads my posts not the others who comment on cooper first ?? and your right Stevie proven premiership manager ?.
17.) 18 Mar 2024 16:56:53
Skegs your posts stand out as utter nonsense, all you want to do is to talk about a bloke that’s gone, ?.
18.) 18 Mar 2024 17:29:54
Read the posts not just mine even though I know you like reading my posts ? it's your cooper lovers that keep bringing him up not my fault there missing the odd fist pump ?.
19.) 18 Mar 2024 17:44:02
It's not just you Skegs. He told me off good and proper the other day for using C#@PE*S name when I was Trying to make a comparison ?.
I'll try not to mention him again along with ANY of our previous managers by that reckoning.
20.) 18 Mar 2024 18:03:19
What is this total nonsense? Yeah, we can have footy banter about anything except Cooper? Get lost! Cooper was a cool dude and I'll talk about him as much as I like. Up yours! ?
Truth is that Nuno lovers don't like it because Cooper did better than Nuno is. They don't like it because after being wrong for years about Cooper, they are now looking suspiciously like being wrong about Nuno too.
Some things on this site remain as predictable as ever. Wrong specialists never change their spots! ?
P. S. Miss the fist pumps? Well yes! Anyone who didn't like them is probably a bin dipper or a sheep, because we only saw them when we won games! Put that in your pipe. Talk about the obvious!
16 Mar 2024 18:22:28
From what I'm hearing and what I saw today
We will have to play the rest of the season without wood and awoniyi.
14 Mar 2024 21:00:54
Minus ten not possible Derby, you only get nine if you go into administration, so how can any club get docked ten?
Which is why Everton got four back
The ultimate crime is administration.
11 Mar 2024 20:20:18
Carlo you always come out with you know something, but never say what is actually going to happen, anyone can say that
You told us all about marinakis and then turn round and said you've never met him though.
Now you say you know?
But your mole also gets it wrong ??.
11 Mar 2024 14:04:12
People in high places don't give information out, especially to Joe public.
{Ed001's Note - that's not necessarily true. They talk about stuff in front of the lowliest staff all the time. The higher they get the less they even notice ordinary people.}
10 Mar 2024 21:01:00
Just let it go carlo
You know nothing.
26 Apr 2024 23:04:18
Ira time for nuno to turn up and be the coach he's supposed to be?
To me He's one of life's moaners?
Arms crossed in the technical area with no sign of emotion?
When the defeat arrives?
It s never his fault?
Its down to referee's
Has anyone heard his name sung at the city ground?
He's a strange one for me.
26 Apr 2024 22:53:13
Well done Bowie for coming off the cigarettes
Proud of you my friend xx.
26 Apr 2024 22:50:26
Hes a wing back not a centre back
Not great at defending but good going forwards.
25 Apr 2024 09:15:29
You missed eleven Bowie mate
Nuno has been a disaster of an appointment, everything that had been built over the last 30 months gone put the window, the great man never argued about refs, nuno has made ot a hobby from day one and is hiding behind it to cover his own inadequate coaching and motivation skills.
26 Apr 2024 09:08:21
Makes me laugh the blame game on here
It was coopers fault not so long back fir recruiting poor players
Now it's the owner for spending to much of hus own money? Unreal
Yet again none of our plight is down to nuno?
Since game one of him being in charge against Bournemouth when boly was sent off wrongly, it's been the officials he's had a go at after every game he's lost, its not the players, it's nuno.
