GUARDIAN RUMOUR: "Nottingham Forest have received a four-point deduction for breaching the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability rules, dropping them into the relegation zone, one point from safety.

An announcement from the Premier League is expected on Monday and Forest are likely to appeal. "

RedCyclist

Rumour has it the penalty was 6 points. Forest lodged an early appeal and cooperated, hence the reduction to 4. If true, I believe it is unlikely the club will appeal. Some clarity at least and we have our fate in our own hands ( Burnley, Everton and Sheff Utd to play).


2.) 18 Mar 2024 16:56:00
I thought it was 6 points. Until Man City are sanctioned, nobody should be.

We are supposedly being linked to two loan deals - a winger and midfielder.

Gio Reyna from Dortmund (George Mendez) and Carlos Borges (age 19) from Man City. Borges is fast and exciting according to Giordiola.

If European midfielders take time to settle, then Reyna is probably a waste of time. We usually get stung by Mendes anyway.

Borges is an Ajax player red
Any deal is with Ajax.

David de Gea has mendes as his agent
You never know as he's a free agent.


3.) 25 Jan 2024 04:25:17
Apparently Karl Darlow is available on loan.


4.) 25 Jan 2024 11:00:37
Marseille have had a loan bid accepted as well. They would offer him Europa League football. He's highly rated but been out with an injury for a while.


5.) 25 Jan 2024 16:31:36
I don't see the benefit of getting loan in who has been out with injury. By the time he's up to speed we don't get enough performance to make a difference.


6.) 25 Jan 2024 22:00:57
Excellent point, but if he is 100% fit now, then worth a punt
Forest from Ajax excites me more
We can get rid of origi and Santos gone back to Chelsea, so use those two slots.


7.) 28 Jan 2024 11:19:29
Ajax ruled out Forbs move. So who can we get? Getting tight again.

Rumours doing the mill

Nico Williams loan to Leeds: Completely believable from the Leeds might want him angle. Not played a lot under new boss, but he should improve at age 22.

Mangala to Napoli (loan) : Stupid decision if true. Looks like the new boss might be "falling out" with players (i. e. can't pick everyone EXACTLY LIKE COOPER COULDN'T)

Che Adams to Forest: This one comes up every window. We probably do want him, but that doesn't mean he's coming.

Ngonge: Looks like several teams want him. We do need at least one more winger if we are playing with two proper wide men.

RedCyclist

1.) 13 Jan 2024 14:50:02
Should never be looking at loans of squad players. Sell if we must but both Mangala and Williams cost big money be wasted if not playing at CG.

Nottingham Forest have reportedly joined the race to acquire the signature of Aston Villa-linked midfielder Cyril Ngonge from Hellas Verona.

Another rumour! "Tottenham Hotspur "watched" Nottingham Forest forward Morgan Gibbs-White during the thrilling victory over Manchester United at the City Ground. "

Hope they have £150M down the back of the sofa or they won't get far IMO.

It's not long for the vultures start circling when a player starts showing some form. It will depend if MGW wants to sit on the bench or start every week, and if Nottingham Forest wants the money for him?.

As someone who was at Hillsboro an awful lot of research needs to be done before this comes to the CG.
CARLO.


4.) 20 Feb 2024 11:36:31
Plenty of us where at Hillsborough Carlo, lots of issues that day not just because there was standing. Safe standing occurs all over the world now, with no problems. Let's face it, the whole of the lower Bridgford and A block stand anyway.


5.) 20 Feb 2024 11:46:50
Standing/ seating did not cause Hillsborough.


6.) 20 Feb 2024 11:47:45
Hillsborough was caused by putting fans in a cage and some terrible decisions.


7.) 20 Feb 2024 13:47:08
Terrible decisions and choices by so many people on the day.


8.) 20 Feb 2024 13:47:23
Carlo you weren’t the only one that was at hillsborough, i stand every week in A block, no problems, wouldn’t have it any other way,


9.) 20 Feb 2024 15:43:19
Cyclist, have a look at the Swiss cheese model - for an incident like Hillsborough many holes have to line up, one thing that should never be forgotten is a police force in SY who are that time believes they had a right to police working class people in their own way.


10.) 20 Feb 2024 16:22:27
29000 Forest fans witnessed Hillsborough I don’t remember any one of them being asked for an opinion, yet people who were never near Sheffield that day seem to know it all.


11.) 20 Feb 2024 18:35:39
Bless them all, i say. Hate to think how long it would take ambulances to turn up these days. My heart still goes out to the families of the deceased and anyone who witnessed this very sad situation. Even to this day. As i always say. Never take life or them around ya for granted. Cherish each day. I've had the grandkids Saturday, then last night and tonight so far, reason my eldest son who i got to job for at our water board,. Is on 6 x month probation at work. and his partner or the mother, has been in hospital two days now in agony just waiting for a scan to see if she has ulcers, gallstones or whatever. I mean just a scan for cloughs sake. Love my princesses anyway so alls good.


12.) 20 Feb 2024 19:28:57
Actually not all good, i reversed the telly handler into one of the top bosses car yesterday ? only cpl grand damage but not in the good books.

Don't worry mate. they Crap and Piss like the rest of us.
Wishing your sons partner a speedy recovery mate.


14.) 20 Feb 2024 21:33:20
The last thing I'll say on the Hillsborough tragedy is this. It is now WELL KNOWN why so many people died that day. It was covered up for years. Likewise, it was certainly not standing that caused it. Informed people/ supporters KNOW who was responsible. No question about it! No point denying it!

The above is part of the reason I'd never spend a penny on a certain "newspaper".


15.) 20 Feb 2024 21:59:48
Thanks rogie mate ?.


16.) 20 Feb 2024 22:36:25
It happened previously in a Chelsea semi final. Hillsborough that end was dangerous and not fit for purpose. You put a 10 foot fence up in front as well. I was there and had my ten year old nephew with us. No fence and there would have been an escape route and stopped the crush.

Lots of things were wrong, no information to the crowd about what was happening, it wasn't till you saw advertising boards being used as stretchers, that the enormity of the problem could be seen, as initially it looked like hooliganism.

Even when the match was eventually abandoned, the enormity of it wasn't known. Got in the car driving home with the radio on trying to find out what had happened? First it was a few dead then more.

To me it wasn't about seating it was about fencing fans in and a stadium not fit for purpose with not enough turnstiles and not enough access to get in orderly. The toilets at that end are a joke and the ground is still old and in need of renovation.

If we don't sign a keeper or bring Horvath in then either the manager or recruitment team should be fired. Whoever makes these decisions needs to sort this by 10pm.

RedCyclist

1.) 31 Jan 2024 19:58:50
Got tomorrow aswell.


2.) 31 Jan 2024 20:17:57
That gives them time to fire them, and then the new guy can sort out the goalie! Surely 24 hours is enough? ?

Yeah, just realised. Wondered why it was so quiet in the papers.


3.) 31 Jan 2024 20:30:28
The manager has been fired weeks ago ??.


4.) 31 Jan 2024 21:35:35
Exactly Skegs. He was. Mores the pity.


5.) 31 Jan 2024 22:54:33
Move on gazzi onwards and upwards ?.


6.) 01 Feb 2024 01:58:37
You keep mentioning him Dkegs. So does your mate.


7.) 01 Feb 2024 06:45:05
It's the relief that he's gone that's why Gazzi and we can move on and Nuno can sort his mess out a move us from perpetual relegation threat for another season ?.


8.) 01 Feb 2024 08:01:50
Spot on balloons if we go down this season which I don't think we will it will be because of the ffp and the goalkeepers that we're bought in before nuno took charge anyway hopefully goalkeeper sorted by tonight then onwards and upwards ?.


9.) 01 Feb 2024 10:08:15
Most fans seem to be blaming the recruitment team/ owners for our problems - the same owners and recruitment team skegs said were responsible for Cooper's success. Hmmm ??

Anyone see the problem? ?.


10.) 01 Feb 2024 10:22:47
Looking at all the rumours, we are going for:-

Sam Johnston

Kasper Schmeichel

Romano: "Nottingham Forest submit official proposal for Matz Sels — around €6/ 7m for experienced goalkeeper at Strasbourg. #NFFC keep working to find new GK on Deadline Day, next priority after Reyna and Ribeiro deals. "

A. N. Other

Hopefully we might have a Prem level keeper by tonight.


11.) 01 Feb 2024 11:36:00
Skegs is right cyclist. They gave a championship squad to a championship quality manager. He couldn't hack the next level. That's why he's gone.
Time to move on ?.


12.) 01 Feb 2024 12:17:34
How do you fancy your chances at The Valley on Saturday, Red Balloons? Should be another 3 points for you.


13.) 01 Feb 2024 12:24:11
No, ignoring my point won't wash. Skegs said Coopers success was down to the owners. Most fans are seeing the obvious fact that the recruitment team and owners are the source of our problems (and therefore are a problem, not the reason for success). Skegs was obviously wrong if you know what contradiction and logic are.

No amount of special pleading can change the fact that if you contradict yourself, you make no sense. If you don't understand that, then you are not as smart as you'd like people to think.

Now you are saying they gave Cooper a Championship squad. Correct! Thanks for confirming that Cooper got us promoted, then kept a Championship squad in the Premiere league. Another not so clever statement that disproves the point you are trying to make. ??

Madness is to keep digging a hole and wondering why it is getting deeper! ?.


14.) 01 Feb 2024 15:56:43
I always said cooper was a good championship manager and wasn't up to the premiership and as usual I was proved right ?.


15.) 01 Feb 2024 18:57:26
You took me out there Sutton wow ????.


16.) 01 Feb 2024 19:19:53
He never got relegated from the Premiership, semi-final of league cup, so he was a success and proved you and others on here wrong, whether your big enough to admit it or not, your just kidding yourself.


17.) 01 Feb 2024 20:11:32
Can't keep blaming the recruitment Cooper couldn't get a win with the full squad Nuno turned it around without any different players. Nuno has now made a GK his priority I'm sure he has had input in who he wants so we should trust his knowledge. Let's not get all doom and gloom before the end of the window.


18.) 01 Feb 2024 20:15:24
Smart bloke this Gingerkid42. Exactly correct. You ladies could learn something from him.


19.) 01 Feb 2024 22:05:26
Well said cyprus.


20.) 02 Feb 2024 14:37:08
I like Nuno and fully support him but he has hardly turned it around yet has he? I’ve said on here before we were 5 points clear of relegation when SC left now we are 2? Not even thinking about games in hand and FFP to come. If Nuno keeps us up with all this hanging over us it will be a massive achievement.

Hope the lad who was stretchered out is OK. Apparently he was breathing when he was stretchered out (according to my mate). Is diabetic, but might be nothing to do with that.

I notice a few posts singling out certain players. For me, it was just a bad game for most of the team.

More worrying is that trying to keep possession seems to be the root cause of most of the moaning. Possession based football (that some folks moaned we weren't playing enough under the old boss) means not just passing forward - passing forward only is just direct or counter attacking.

You can't have both possession based football and not have sideways and backward passing. It is impossible. Think about it.

We aren't that good at keeping the ball. We either carry on struggling to improve at keeping the ball (and pass forward, backward and sideways) or play direct and/ or counter attacking knowing we won't have much possession. The boss has to do one or the other.

But moaning that a player basses sideways or backwards, but also wanting lots of possession, is nonsense.

RedCyclist

1.) 07 Jan 2024 23:03:41
Yes Red but it was the lack of urgency for an hour that was frustrating. Players received the ball and didn't appear to know what to do with it, nobody moving into space or shouting for the ball, which led to the sideways and backwards passing being over elaborated. There was a lot of pointing where to pass the ball which makes it obvious on your next move and in general it was back to a defender
When teams gel with whatever coach or manager is in charge they get an understanding of each other, knowing when to pass ect. They can just move the ball or run into space as they know how players play and what their next move will be. But today was just one of those days, it happens to better teams, there was better urgency for the last half an hour but on the day just not good enough. Fantastic support in the ground not many teams nearly sell out for a cup clash with Blackpool. Bring on the bees, bring on Bloomfield let's right the wrong from last season and we owe Brentford they were lucky this season against us and most definitely last season.


2.) 08 Jan 2024 10:02:30
I have no problem with sideways passing if it means keeping control of the ball, but it’s the lack of movement and pace of the passing, that bugs me, we seem to take an age to get the ball across the pitch, also against Blackpool a lack of movement from the forward players didn’t help. Hopefully just a one of game.


3.) 08 Jan 2024 15:38:37
I always think back to the best teams I've ever seen. Brazil (various times), Spain when they won the world cup and Barcelona (with Spain's midfield). They keep the ball, probe, pass in every direction, but their players were sharp enough so that as soon as the chance opens up, play direct - bang, GOAL.

Those teams didn't mind passing back to their defenders 20 times. The opponents could not score as they couldn't get near the ball. The point I'm trying to make is that we need to stay off players backs when they don't pass forwards if we want to keep the ball. You can't have both.

They are talking about changing the rules, so all bets are off.

The Johnson transfer money would have been included in accounting for the last season in the Championships and the two in the Prem. However, we spent a lot more in the last two than the penultimate season in the Championships but will have an extra year of the higher losses allowed. Confused? Exactly!

Meanwhile, Man City broke up to 100 rules years ago and 2 other teams are potentially going to be relegated for a relatively minor offence. Go figure.

Some obvious points about who is a fan, in case you missed my comments below.

Certain folk don't want Cooper mentioned. You know the guy who has been most successful since Clarke and Clough. Strange? Of course, it is completely odd if you actually love the club.

The truth is that Nuno lovers don't want to mention Cooper now 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. Do we 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 and inhale. Talk about the obvious! ?

If you hated Cooper after finally getting back to the promised land, then don't be surprised if your loyalty is questioned. And stop trying to tell us what or who we can talk about, it's out of order. Up yours! ?.
