Hearing it's Edu and his massive ego that's the problem with Nuno. Edu apparently dismissed Traore without even taking a look, which peeved Nuno off. I think Mr M seems to be backing Edu's experience which again is annoying Nuno after all he has achieved. If this is the case then Edu is the problem and he's the one who needs to apologise or go.

Mr. M has a massive ego as well so he'll side with Edu.
2.) 23 Aug 2025 21:01:13
He also has a massive wedge that pays the bills.

Fabrizio Romano has just 'here we go' to MGW to Spurs. What a joke.
1.) 10 Jul 2025 18:07:41
Nothing you can do if he has a release clause of £60M. If they bid that amount then we can't stop the player from talking to the club.
2.) 10 Jul 2025 22:22:54
Why go there, could understand a club that's top 5 but that definitely ain't Spurs.
3.) 11 Jul 2025 01:32:13
Spence, Jonno, MGW, that has a familiar ring to it?.
4.) 12 Jul 2025 01:14:15
Dawson and Reid!
29 Jun 2025 09:08:33
Pepe, £65m release clause. coming to Forest?
1.) 29 Jun 2025 11:00:54
Won't be coming here. too expensive.
2.) 29 Jun 2025 12:16:28
They want 25M Euros, apparently. He's a better player than Weah!
3.) 29 Jun 2025 15:41:06
Won't be coming here. Marinankis play's his card's close to his and wants to make shrewd cheaper deals.
29 Jun 2025 09:08:01
Deal officially off for Weah and the other chap. Let him rot at Juve, where he can't get game time.
27 Jun 2024 11:19:28
Nikhate to Olympic Lyon.
1.) 28 Jun 2024 14:25:34
Really, Where did you hear that? ??.
2.) 28 Jun 2024 16:02:34
Waiting and hoping it will be confirmed. Would make any sale of Murillo on our terms.
3.) 28 Jun 2024 16:48:32
We might not need to sell Murillo. Selling Niakhate and a few others could help us get over the PSR threshold and we won't have to sell him, MGW or CHO.
4.) 28 Jun 2024 22:08:50
That would be the ideal scenario. Fingers crossed.
5.) 30 Jun 2024 11:46:51
Niakhate is a done deal.

Well here we are again, end of another premier league game. 1st half not as bad as we have been. 2nd half, bloody awful.
It's like we have a team made up of players who have never played with each other prior to the game, it's that bad.
Nobody seems to know what the game plan is.
Wood has been very poor, MGW has been very poor, CHO, to name but a few.
Positives from this game? Cunha looked solid, and Williams had Elanga in his pocket (but we was poor for Newcastle). That's about it.
It's now the international break and I really feel that Mr M has to pull the trigger so whoever we get in has a week or so to get to know the team and players (who are not on International duty). AP needs to go as I have seen nothing to suggest that he can turn this around.
My neck is aching from the constant head shaking I have done whilst watching this trash this afternoon. Passes going astray, passes not strong enough to get to their intended recipient, rushed clearances, rushing to offload the ball, dawdling on the ball.
Ref was atrocious and now anyone can give a yellow for a foul in Dan Burn is beyond me, especially when the player committing the foul is a good 6 inches shorter and about 100lbs lighter!
Bruno's goal should have been chalked off, as he came into MGW leading wig his arms to push him over. Him, Burn, and Tonali, are some of the worst fakers in the business.
And what's all this in
the penalty area with the grabbing and arms round the neck? Either be consistent with pulling players up for it, or just don't bother.
(And there's a surprise, Bruno just being interviewed stating it wasn't a foul. I give in).
1.) 05 Oct 2025 16:38:31
For me 1st half was just as bad, it's only because we didn't concede chim? Just no light at the end of the tunnel. Clough/ talor knows how the Greek will manage us from here on in. Bless the travelling. Get home safe. Just wrong football with some obvious talent. You can tell. Big ms influences on that game. Shot himself in the foot big time.
2.) 05 Oct 2025 17:09:23
Bruno got the ball before the player. No argument for their first goal. Ange should've made a change when our backs were against the wall. The goal was coming but no changes until after the goal.
04 Oct 2025 08:08:24
Ominous that the board has backed AP; never a good sign that ?.
1.) 04 Oct 2025 11:29:23
He'll be sacked on Monday.
2.) 04 Oct 2025 15:22:28
Depends on whether Mr Marinakis wants to pay up another coach's contract?. I think RedRobin posted coach's with out a club, he missed one who has a point to prove in the Premier, welcome to the City Ground Ten Hag?.
3.) 04 Oct 2025 18:00:14
Tin Hat no use.
02 Oct 2025 22:16:42
Oh boy.
As I've just posted elsewhere, for me Marinakis has taken a team I was excited about, that I enjoyed watching, that for me had the feel good factor, into a complete and utter shambles. Replacing the excitement is dread and anguish. Replacing the feel good factor is anxiety. I cannot believe we've waited almost 30 years to get back into Europe, and before we be even kicked a ball in the competition, Marinakis appears to have doomed us by appointing AP. We are heading out of Europe a damn sight quicker than how long it took to get here.
Tonight we are utterly woeful. Ok, a handful of standout performances (Anderson, MGW, Wood when he came on, and in the final 30 minutes, Sangaré). But too many did not turn up and are struggling to adapt to this style of play.
We wanted too long on the ball again. We wanted to play it backwards too often. And when the space was there, we played at a pedestrian pace.
We were physically bullied into submission, by a team whose players wanted it more than most of ours.
For all his great play, does Williams actually know how to beat the first man with a cross?
Does anyone playing tonight actually know how to take a shot without hitting the player in front of him?
I fear for our premier league status too.
We are leaking goals left, right, and centre, where last year we were solid.
And we suddenly cannot defend corners, or free kicks; it's like we've suddenly gone back to playing how we did 3 years ago.
Tonight has really left me in a low mood, but not just me; a healthy section of the CG faithful, who made it abundantly clear that they want AP out. And so do I; I have had enough is this vaudeville show already.
Apologies for being so negative. But, after all the hard work we've put in, it's all just collapsing around us.
1.) 02 Oct 2025 22:50:52
Posthegulo still thinks he should be spurs manager, and we are his sloppy seconds. He hasn't bonded with the supporters, and trying tactics here, what didn't work at spurs, will prove him right, in a nutshell get rid!.
2.) 02 Oct 2025 23:10:37
As usual, a superb assessment of the game Chim. It's not being negative mate - you're just reflecting on the disappointing performance we have all watched tonight. I think you are this site's new Creepy BTW.
3.) 03 Oct 2025 12:36:13
I unfortunately agree chim. 0 cohesion, Swiss cheese defence and very little team spirit. Can't believe I got up at 445 am to watch that absolute shambles. Conceding 3 at home to a Danish team is unacceptable.
27 Sep 2025 19:43:34
First away win this season.
First goal for the club for Sunderland player.
Piss poor refereeing, especially for that goal.
BUT, we were awful. Yes. We had more of the ball, but who wants to watch backwards and sideways football?
Devoid of ideas.
Our defending has suddenly become at sixes and sevens (and don't blame it on Murillo and Aina being out).
Midfield had no bite.
McAtee looks like a little boy lost.
We can't beat the player in front of us when trying a cross.
Our finishing has sunk to a new low.
Too much time wanted on the ball.
Wood was on the pitch at least 30 minutes too long.
Walking the ball out of defence.
Playing across the back line or to the goalie to pass it (what the actual! ).
Hutchinson looked decent.
We are now 16th in the league. If this is what Ange Ball is all about then I don't want to know.
Sorry, but in my opinion, Marinakis has made a huge mistake, which has been to West Ham's advantage.
We are going nowhere with AP in charge other than heading to a relegation scrap. And with tue players we have, that would not be acceptable. Then again, he did the same to Spurs and they were exactly low of quality.
I really don't know where we go from here. The players actually look demoralised on the pitch. No beaming smiles. No camaraderie. This is a sad day.
1.) 27 Sep 2025 20:48:44
?? agree totally.
2.) 27 Sep 2025 23:53:50
Spot on chim son ?.
3.) 27 Sep 2025 23:54:33
I really like your posts Chim - you seem to have become the new Creepy on this site!
Forget poor refereeing - we were truly awful. IMO we looked uninspired, devoid of ideas and frankly a shadow of the team that was playing under Nuno. Even my dodgy firestick went on strike for 5 minutes in the 1st half out of disgust at our performance.
This post has nothing to do with the result. It does, however, have everything to do with the performance. Substitute possession for passion; shots to goals; and pass % for effective forward passing. Then we might survive.
27 Sep 2025 18:52:40
So it's the 63rd minute and we are awful.
1.) 27 Sep 2025 19:01:48
I think you will find we was cra*p from Mull?.
01 Sep 2025 21:54:47
He’ll do for me. Decent crosser of the ball and can dribble a bit too.
03 Jun 2024 07:23:23
Pretty much think we will be relegated without MGW assists if he is sold. Nobody else in the team will come near to that assist mark if he goes, and that means starting with more or less a 10-goal deficit.
19 Apr 2024 15:35:08
Need players like Murillo…get rid of the others first.
13 Mar 2024 18:34:38
Might know by Friday, but wouldn’t hold my breath lol.
18 Jan 2024 13:34:18
I’m in the other camp to be honest re Mangala. He’s OK but of late he’s been a bit hit and miss. People keep mentioning how good he is, but I just don’t see it.
Last night at Blackpool he was sloppy. Then again, for a period of 30 minutes, EVERYONE was sloppy lol.
20 Sep 2025 18:16:58
Wood was woeful. As our main striker it’s obvious I he is going to struggle in that formation and playing style. His days are numbered. He’s too slow in that set up. A tree trunk has a better first touch. Couldn’t get his head on anything today.
10 Sep 2025 16:19:10
Aren’t we playing Sunday MunMad?
31 Aug 2025 17:04:25
It’s like when we play a dreadful team, we lower our own standards to theirs…awful.
11 Jul 2025 07:08:33
Astonished indeed…but, we have past form in expecting significant incoming transfers and have been mightily let down in the past…several times actually. I really cannot believe that MGW only has a £60m release clause. If it’s true his final price from Wolves is £45m, we’ve basically made very little profit. No wonder when all the talk of MGW costing a buying club £100m was never addressed by the club, because they knew the fans would be up in arms at that release clause.
25 May 2025 11:09:24
Their first goal was a beauty. Wouldn’t mind having that young lad at Forest!
