Please please Maranakus get rid now
Same old same old.
Maybe one day I will come on here and be able to celebrate but if this clown stays in charge I can't see it being any time soon.
4 games no goals if things don't change very quickly we will be saying hello to league one again.

1.) 25 Sep 2020 22:50:59
Can we get rid of marinakis aswell?
Hes the real problem.
Warbo? tippy tappy
Karanka? boring
Oneil? Dinosaur football
Lamouchi one dimensional.
All comments on here from all the posters.
Well someone appointed them.

2.) 26 Sep 2020 08:34:11
Ff79 yep that’s a good idea, get rid of the man paying the bills, would you fund the club in the meantme mate?, remember when doughty pulled the plug,? we sold bamford and Morgan just to pay the bills? Not that easy to get new owners, especially these days,

3.) 26 Sep 2020 10:20:54
Whoever was responsible for last season's transfer windows should go. We were chronically short upfront the whole season. Mir, Diakhaby and Da Costa were far short of what we needed. We spend money on more centre halves but not on strikers. No goals is the result.

4.) 26 Sep 2020 10:39:07
If Warburton had got the team to up the speed of passing as the term wore on he might have kept his job, although i got the feeling our owner only saw him as a stop gap.

Karanka is typical of today's coaches, safety first, and bore everyone to tears. His hype overtakes his ability.

O'Neil should never have been signed, he is too much of his own man for our owner, so it was never going to work.

The current players leader is Karanka mark two.

5.) 26 Sep 2020 18:56:45
Stevie i cudn't give a toss that he pays the bills, the bills would be millions less if he had a brain.
Having massive squads and bomb squads is pure madness and he's ruining this great club.

Hi Redjester hope you're health is feeling better.
There will come a time when age will catch up with our oldies and we will have to make the same decision as you have had to make.
Always put your family first other things come second no matter what.
Problem I've got now is 2 of my traveling friends are now making the decision you had to make.
It's very sad they both have been Reds supporters for as many years I've forgotten how long.
All of a sudden travelling to see the Reds next season will all of a sudden is going to be really expensive.
The decision I'm now facing is do I let my mate of many years following the Reds down, as he has already said he will renew come what may.
Or do I renew and face a really expensive day trip every week.
Some thinking to do.

1.) 19 Apr 2024 14:04:42
Good luck whatever decision you Make Eeast coast I've read all of your post past and present and it's obvious your a true Red COYR.

18 Apr 2024 18:11:02
Hi Gazzibaldi.
It's nice to no other reds have to travell long distances. Idont suppose we are the only ones.
My point is that many many fans are now going to find it very hard to work there finances around every day living and taking there sons or daughters to see the reds. And these sons and daughters are going to be the next generation of fans. Its going to be the financly better off who will be benefiting from these ridiculous price hikes and as usual the the ordinary fans who have supported the reds for many years are going to suffer. I very much think that those who are running our club. don't care a toss about the fans. All they are doing is trying to is recover losses caused by there gun ho policy of trying to sign as many players as possible.
Bit like the Nottingham City Council. Total bad management.

1.) 18 Apr 2024 18:49:33
Spot on East coast of course they don't give a toss about the fans. Surprising people didn't see it earlier ?.

2.) 18 Apr 2024 19:05:47
A up East Coast.
I agree about recouping losses due to bad management. It's also greed I'm afraid.
Im far from happy mate but ofcourse I will renew. And the club know I will.
They will get my money for my season ticket and that's it. No programme, no pint, no pie. Nothing else.
As long as fuel doesn't go up too much, I will be able to afford it.
JUST!

3.) 18 Apr 2024 19:20:45
The fans are the fall guys for the likes of Sangare and his Ilk.

4.) 18 Apr 2024 19:23:23
Baldys a rich pensioner I knew it.

5.) 18 Apr 2024 19:44:30
The hardest hit are those teenagers that used to get a season card for £99 while spending more than that on a night out
If they work and 18 pay full price like every other adult
Rip off?
£500 my ticket to watch 19 games plus priority tickets for cup games
Great value.

6.) 19 Apr 2024 06:36:59
I had a season ticket for many year's but with both financial and health reasons had to give it up broke my heart but life goes on your family are the most important people in your lives put them first, then if you can afford the luxury of a season ticket you have it all great! Either way you are still one the best supporter's in the ? world

7.) 19 Apr 2024 08:30:55
Just to add this club is a business first then a football club it's difficult to get the balance right and we are struggling at both at the moment but you the fans are the one's who will pay and suffer for the club's failure if it happens the best thing for me will be another season in the premier get the finances right then don't care if we go down.

8.) 19 Apr 2024 10:42:51
Spot on jester. The perfect posts. Lining the pockets of mercenaries who will definitely put themselves first. Football is like the NHS. Broken ?.

9.) 19 Apr 2024 11:13:22
It's marinakis that keeps the club afloat, what we pay collectively doesn't even pay the wage bill
The problem all clubs have now is that the new rules are more based on revenue that each club generates, that's why almost every club has increased prices and some have scrapped concessions altogether
We've been spoilt originally by marinakis for putting bums on seats for season after season at well below the prices required with £10 to £99 concessions for under 21 year old, that isn't sustainable.

10.) 19 Apr 2024 14:09:07
I'm afraid I'm in the Bowie camp prefared Championship football but if you do too well you have to go up they should give you a choice £100.000.000 and stay were you are ???.

17 Apr 2024 21:49:09
These ticket prices are an insult to all Forest supporters. We've been kicked in the teeth yet again. When the club need our support even more than ever. They've gone and shot them selves in the foot.

How can they preach they're one of the cheapest in the Premiership when we could be almost behalf way to the Championship.
I've spent thousands of pounds traveling the country to watch my beloved Forest. Every game is an away game. But I'm sorry to say my love is waning.
Totally disgusted.

1.) 17 Apr 2024 23:34:41
I get what you're saying East Coast. I only go to home games but it's a long journey and full day and costs much more than just a ticket price.
I'm seriously thinking about not re newing. It's not as though it's entertaining even though I love it.

2.) 18 Apr 2024 01:09:38
Get yer pensions out and pay my team's wages!

3.) 18 Apr 2024 05:59:14
If people are daft enough to pay for the rubbish that's being dished up this season, then the players are daft enough to take it and keep living there lavish life styles. The choice is in your hands.
The club is a shambles. Constant struggle that won't go away because the owners a nut job. ?.

4.) 18 Apr 2024 11:03:43
My sympathy is entirely with the previous posters. I will renew for reasons of love and fatalism. Firstly, love of football and the ( mostly) pleasure supporting the Reds has given me over the years ( since I was 9, so 59 of them).
Secondly, I missed out on attending every game back in the day because of my Police career. You don’t get many Saturdays off my friends. And fatalistically because if I’m lucky enough not to pop my clogs of heart attack or falling under a bus tomorrow I recognise that one day I won’t be fit enough to get out of the house or remember where the City Ground is!
Oddly enough, many years ago I read Michael Parkinson’s book “Bats in the Pavilion “ about his life long love of cricket. He wrote very movingly about his Dad, a miner and lover of cricket, particularly Yorkshire CCV who suffered with dementia towards the end of his life and used to go MFH ( missing from home). The Police invariably found him at Headingly, the only place he could remember how to get there. It got to the point that the staff would let him in until the Police or Parky arrived to collect him, whether there was a game on or not. He would just sit there quietly when play would start. It brought a tear to my eye.

5.) 18 Apr 2024 13:44:19
With the greatest of respect balloons you’ve changed your tune. Only a while ago you were singing the praises of our owner and NUNO the great saviour of our club. Well from where I sit AT EVERY HOME GAME not watching on tv and seeing what the producer wants you to see, I don’t see much difference between him and sc. So let’s blame the owner, had he followed every other owner and appointed another inept manager and not the brilliant sc we would be possibly playing Mansfield town next season. Is that what you want balloons, because I don’t know what you want. A bit of clarity would help. I understand you and Skeggs live way out, but that’s not an excuse I know a lady who has cancer and she travels to every home game from the other side of Norwich, no easy trip when your a OAP.

6.) 18 Apr 2024 16:35:26
Good post red vale, his missus keeps asking him the same questions. ? proud of the girl from norwich mate. But as you know, tickets aren't easy to get these days.

7.) 18 Apr 2024 16:40:39
Red vale I wouldn't pay to watch that garbage if I lived on Ratcliffe Rd. I change my tune because I've seen every game this season all be it on TV and have assessed the season.
Cheesed of with the perpetual struggle.250 mil spent and slugging it out with Luton outrageous.
All that tells me is the club is a shambles from top to bottom and yes I would love to play Mansfield, no VAR, In a competition you can win and watching your team getting hammered every week in a competition that is impossible to win, isn't my idea of enjoyment or value for money. You keep watching and the players who don't give a toss about the club will keep spending it ?.

8.) 18 Apr 2024 18:20:22
Stokey - so if I'm getting this processed correctly within my mushy brain - you're 68 then? I didn't realise ex-Coppers lived for so long.

9.) 18 Apr 2024 19:48:24
I get your point balloons, and a very valid point. I like you dislike the prem, it's rotten from top to bottom, but here we are maybe not for much longer. None of us will know what goes on behind the scenes, and perhaps if the owner had stopped to take breath we might have got ourselves in a better position. But he didn't. I am a true forest fan and why should I give up my seat for some come day Go day rich kid. But believe me what there doing to the fans will come back and bite them on the jackse.

10.) 18 Apr 2024 19:52:01
No Legless mate, it’s my mushy Maths brain not yours. I’m 67 so I’ve been a Reds fan for “only” 58 not 59 years! I retired from the Police aged 52 in 2009., so I think I’ve already raised the average life span of a copper I think! I always tell my wife if ever I end up in a coma on life support and the doctors tell her they want to switch the machines off on no account must she comply as I’ve only got to keep breathing ( artificially or not) to keep receiving the pension ?????. I was lucky insofar as I did enough Acting Inspector time to qualify for Inspector rather than Sergeants pension! Yehaaaay! ??.
The key is to keep busy. So I got a job working for the Staffordshire Council Public Analysts Office for 9 years tootling around the country collecting samples of anything that wanted testing. I don’t know if you ever watched consumer protection programmes like “Fake Britain” but it was always my brilliant boffin boss Dr Frank Hollywood who did the testing. I once went out to my van parked in the back yard and saw a pair of rather nice legs hanging out the rear doors and there on the end of them was the lovely Julia Summerville having a nap between takes! Happy days!
I did marathons ( London, Great North Run x 5, Robin Hood and D. H. Lawrence ) for Marie Curie Cancer Care, until my knees started creaking. Then got made redundant with the rest of the Department which had been going since 1923 at the stroke of a Tory Councillor’s pen in cost cutting.
Then finished off with 5 years as a Tesco delivery driver just in time for c.v. to keep me fit, get a bit ( or a lot during c.v.) of pocket money and got my Thursday night clap for helping the vulnerable and housebound get their supplies.
Now putting my feet up and following my beloved team and seeing a bit more of the world whilst I still can……….

11.) 18 Apr 2024 21:13:12
Too right Stokey. I'm just a wee lad of 54 years but hasn't the world got so much smaller than when we were growing up? I'm pleased travelling the world is so much easier now especially for the young ones - experiencing other cultures is an education in itself. I too did the London Marathon many moons ago. I remember lighting up a ciggie whilst waiting with the other runners on the start line and it was like I had just 'exposed myself' in public - everyone moved away from me in disgust! It would seem that you've lived and are still living a full life mate and that's what it's all about. To quote from my favourite film The Shawshank Redemption - "get busy living or get busy dying". Damn right.

12.) 18 Apr 2024 21:26:15
And reading a lot stokey, as i say. Man of the world sir. ?.

13.) 18 Apr 2024 21:43:39
Most the losses are paid for by marinakis in person not the fans.

14.) 18 Apr 2024 22:03:33
Bowie - I've already told Stokey that I enjoy his posts, but I do 'tune-out' for parts of them when he goes into 'Ronnie Corbett mode'! I don't think there would be any awkward silences enjoying a beer with this man. Top guy.

15.) 19 Apr 2024 08:01:44
Many thanks for your kind words Bowie and Legless.
As one of my favourite film characters, the outlaw Josie Wales says “Dying ain’t much of a living”.
Or, more eloquently, one of my favourite poets Dylan Thomas
“Do not go quietly into that good night
Old age should burn and rave at close of day
Rage, rage against the dying of the light”.
Finally, as its goodnight from me and goodnight from him
One of my all time favourite singers Al Stewart
“One of the saddest things to be
Is an old Admiral who feels the wind
And never puts to sea”.

14 Apr 2024 13:15:47
It's so obvious that we are crying out for a commanding centre half all season. Wolves had 1 corner and scored from it. Our defending was all over the place. As it's been all season. Its only my view but is our manager coach what ever you want to call him up to the task. i don't think so. Yesterday did we need to make those substitutions. No i thought leave alone. Williams can't cross a ball time and time again he got in to good persissions and nothing came of it.
Whether we stay up or not we must learn the lessons of this season.
Get a manager in who can get use organised particularly defensively.
COYR.

1.) 14 Apr 2024 16:23:38
We keep criticising the balls into the box but players should be in there making it difficult for defenders. Some crosses were sublime like Danillos corner nobody to capitalise. There is a reason we don't score from corners nobody bursts in and troubles the defence we only received when it comes out the box.

Sad to see Larry Lloyd died.
So many great memories from that great era. How we could do with Larry and Kenny now. RIP great man.

1.) 28 Mar 2024 13:19:17
Very sad East Coast. One of my all time heroes. Had a few drinks with him at the Stage Door with some of my former CID colleagues back in the day. He came and did a brilliantly funny talk at a Charity Evening in the bar at Radford Road Police Station. He told some very interesting stories and took questions from his rapt audience. He started with the words “Good evening, can you all see me behind this microphone stand”? He told us how Peter Osgood at Chelsea was the dirtiest player he’d ever played against until the day he seized his opportunity to head butt him which nobody saw “as the fog had come in from the Trent and everybody was watching a Peter Shilton goal kick. ”
Cloughie and him never got on but Larry said he only realised later that the great man’s windups ( and fines) were motivational as the big man played his heart out to prove him wrong. He said 90 % of his “bespoke “ training was heading because “that’s all I want you do, nothing else because you can’t effing do anything else “. I never ever saw Larry lose a ball in the air or in a 50 50 collision. Him and Burnsy were the team “enforcers” so nobody took any liberties. A man with a personality as big as his build.
Some great stories and some heavy drinking that night
RIP big man and condolences to your loved ones.

2.) 28 Mar 2024 13:31:17
Meet Larry loads of times when he had the Stage Door in town, hell of a nice bloke but didn’t suffer fools gladly and always said what he thought unfiltered

RIP big fella a great servant to Forest and to football.

3.) 28 Mar 2024 13:38:30
Awww. I'm just on this Site literally RIP Larry. you were a mountain at the back for us.

Thanks bowlerred
Much appreciated.
I think all reds fans are getting a raw deal.
So fed up at the moment.
But when it runs through your blood
You just keep going. More to the annoyance of my wife.
Like most women they don't understand
what it means to a bloke who supports his team. Just keep hoping that we can turn it round.
