Rumour from Fabrizio Romano
@FabrizioRomano
?? After talks in the last 24h, Roberto Mancini won’t become new Nottingham Forest manager at current stage.
Despite discussions and negotiations, Forest and Mancini have not reached an agreement.
1.) 20 Oct 2025 05:45:00
He was never going to want a relegation battle anyway.
19 Oct 2025 13:10:54
Manager rumours:
Spaletti has turned us down.
They have explored the possibility of bringing Brendan Roagers from Celtic. He is in last year of contract and talks have stalled.
They have also approached Mancini for talks and already held exploratory talks with Dyche.
1.) 19 Oct 2025 14:26:00
My belief is the next manager will be Da Silva. What is 8 million compensation to Fulham as far as Forest’s fortunes are concerned. We won’t need to worry re worsening our financial viability, as Nuno got a quick job it saved us a few million at least.
2.) 19 Oct 2025 17:12:47
Silva is the obvious choice as he has a history of working well with the Greekfather. The other names mentioned are above.
I'd go for Mancini or Rogers, esecially if Silva is too expensive and available for free at the end of the season if it doesn't work out with whoever is appointed. Only the club know whether the cost is important. All the main possibles are experienced in this league. Dyche is by far the least successful and most boring to watch.
3.) 20 Oct 2025 00:48:32
We could end up with a complete left field appointment who no one's considered?, and why doesn't Marinakis cause this much drama at his other clubs?.

Romano Rumour in the GiveMeSport newsletter:
"It's just the beginning. So nothing about a reaction from the owners. Postecoglu needs time to adapt to new team after joining Nottingham Forest. "
Ange is safe for now.
14 Sep 2025 20:45:28
There'd talk about Solanke and Djed Spence to Forest. Do we need Solanke? Do they still need MGW?
1.) 16 Sep 2025 21:49:36
Probably lazy journalism. It happens all the time. Idle links.

RUMOUR
Domenico Tedesco is wanted by both Fenerbahce and Forest.
39 y/ o, former RB Leipzig and Belgium national coach. Favours 3:4:1:2
Marco Silva and Brendan Rogers are the other names getting mentions right now.
1.) 09 Sep 2025 07:23:43
Other favourites are Mourinho and Postegoglu, who both have Pedro Mendes as agent, as did Nono one trick.
"Postecoglou has held talks with Forest in recent days with regards to taking over. He was eager to return to the Premier League at the earliest opportunity, with a feeling he has unfinished business in England after his departure from Tottenham and Postecoglou, who is of Greek heritage, already has a personal relationship with Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis.

REDHOTRED, we got Roy Keane for £47, 000 from Cork and Hutchinson for £37M, that's 37, 000, 000/ 47, 000 = 787
We could have got 787 Roy Keane's for that! Maybe we need to scour the Irish League and lower divisions a tiny bit more.
Or is Hutchinson 787 times as good as Roy Keane? ?.
1.) 12 Nov 2025 18:53:15
Two brilliant players but I’m a bit biased when it comes Roy, from Cork myself, grew up hanging on the same estate, same secondary school and always had some sort football game going on from 2 lads to 22 lads Those were the days, where’s my DeLorean?
10 Nov 2025 15:24:15
Dyche on Omari Hutchinson beng left out of the Europa squad:
“I don’t think he was left out of the Europa League squad, he wasn’t included. There is a difference between being left out and not being included. It was before my time. ”
Err, no Sean, there is no difference whatsoever. I'd leave semantics well alone and stick to football coaching mate! ?.
1.) 10 Nov 2025 15:43:25
Dyche: “I said: ‘Lads, these are the fixtures. You are all the players, I’m the manager and this is the staff, we are the only ones who can change things, no one else. ’
Err, no Sean, my mate Jay said it is all down to Edu! He's always right and knows everso much about football, so you have to be completely wrong. ?.
2.) 10 Nov 2025 17:02:31
It's really lovely how you spend all day looking up things to try and prove me wrong cyclist I am getting a bit worried that you are becoming some sort of stalker ?? I wish I had so much time on my hands anyway mate not only did he not get picked for Europe he's not really started a game under 3 managers in tge Premier league mate that pretty much proves nuno right he's had 1 good game against a poor championship Leeds team and he now is Ronaldo ?? edu out.
3.) 11 Nov 2025 08:03:11
I don't reckon he's like Ronaldo. The truth is I think Jair Cunha and Hutch were ideal to play in Europa to give the Prem players a rest and get minutes. That's why Nuno was wrong.
4.) 11 Nov 2025 14:33:40
Cyclist let it go pal ???.
5.) 11 Nov 2025 22:07:11
I'm sure Derby fans think it was a great decision.
09 Nov 2025 20:19:00
Great win for Edu (who we all know is the reason behind everything that happens). Congrats for signing the match winner and appointing the manager who made the substitution.
Bravo ?.
1.) 09 Nov 2025 20:20:46
Love it cyclist ??.
2.) 09 Nov 2025 21:05:30
I heard the pies were warm as well today, about time Edu got that sorted….
3.) 09 Nov 2025 22:11:20
Fifteen minutes cooling off period before edible ??.
4.) 10 Nov 2025 00:01:49
Apparently the mighty Edu is working on a new sponsor for Forest.
"Alpecin shampoo is formulated with caffeine to help strengthen the hair root, making it a great option if you are experiencing hair loss. "
The coaching team will be the new poster boys and will be as hairy as Rooney by the end of the season. They are going to rename the Stadium the World Famous Alpecin Stadium.
The new bill boards will all display: Support Forest, support hair growth!
Cos Edu-cation is what you need!
09 Nov 2025 16:19:58
MGW has found his position. He can play centre forward and score with headers. Problem solved. ?.
1.) 09 Nov 2025 16:48:34
I thought you meant when he was benched ??.
2.) 09 Nov 2025 16:53:48
Good team performance Dyche used his subs spot on, we need to have a good outcome in the next 4 games both our performance and the bad performance of the teams around us so come on Forest onwards and upwards.
3.) 09 Nov 2025 16:54:12
If he wasn't subbed been interesting if he took the penalty ?.
4.) 09 Nov 2025 17:16:16
Mystic Sean saw that coming and took action.
He's more likely to score with his boot from the bench.
28 Oct 2025 19:08:34
Jota Silva would have been more effective and scored more than some of the forwards this season? He's one of the few players we have/ had who can finish well.
In case you weren't aware, he's on loan at Besiktas.
Cuiabano (also on loan in Brazil until January) might have been handy as well.
1.) 28 Oct 2025 20:23:15
Kane wouldn't score with our midfield.
2.) 28 Oct 2025 20:25:14
Cyclist aina has been a HUGE miss for me, think there's only balloons agreed with me one of our very best players.
3.) 28 Oct 2025 20:38:29
And never a truer word spoken balloons
Midfield is the problem, the partnership of Anderson and MGW has to be broken up or we won't change that imo
One dominates and keeps his place the other a liability atm and to lightweight for a dyche scrap.
4.) 28 Oct 2025 20:40:15
He definitely is mate.
Lighting quick, massive miss.
5.) 28 Oct 2025 21:23:16
Elanga is the real miss look at his goals and assists and lightening pace
All gone
He was our outlet and made space fior our midfield and wood thrived of it
Jesus would have scored hatfuls playing alongside him.
6.) 28 Oct 2025 22:53:31
Note Elanga is not in Newcastle first 11. Took get 50 M for him was a good deal.
7.) 28 Oct 2025 23:16:26
Really?
8.) 29 Oct 2025 08:12:29
Elanga wanted to go couldn't wait to leave good riddance.
9.) 29 Oct 2025 10:20:21
Elanga ?? yes massive miss so massive he can't get into the Newcastle first 11 regularly. 50 million well gained. just a shame edu wasted it on worse players living the forest dream.
10.) 29 Oct 2025 10:56:26
Never heard any attempt to keep AE, not the finished article but fundamental to our style last season.
He was disappointed not to have started at Wembley, mistake to me.
11.) 29 Oct 2025 14:21:57
Yes, Cyclist I would have kept Jota and I said so pre season. Ironically he is a Dyche type player, a grafter who always plays with intensity plus he takes it to the opposition, like Yates, winds them up mate.
12.) 29 Oct 2025 17:34:53
Far more committed than current wingers, maybe not so talented but all action.
Heard him being interviewed, Whatever and when ever the manager tells me what to do I give it all!
Don’t see that in the latest incumbents.
13.) 29 Oct 2025 22:30:53
Yes, can't do anything but agree with Stokey and carlo, Jota was a good player to have when the chips are down and a solid finisher with bottle.
I don't think keeping Elanga was even on the cards, though. He was having a love in with his Newcastle buddies for ages on social media for everyone to see. His heart wasn't with Forest any more. Never keep a player who wants out.
14.) 30 Oct 2025 01:57:27
Also agree that Aina has been missed. He wasn't firing before his injury but he is a skilful player and is experienced. Nuno was right about full back cover.
15.) 30 Oct 2025 10:33:58
We could do with Elanga in the side at the moment considering he got 11 goals and 20 assists in 74 league matches for us. Not too shabby when compared to what we are producing at the minute.
16.) 30 Oct 2025 15:24:07
Elanga also caused a problem for the opposition coach's tactics trying to contain him, freeing up players and creating space.
19 Oct 2025 17:12:47
Silva is the obvious choice as he has a history of working well with the Greekfather. The other names mentioned are above.
I'd go for Mancini or Rogers, esecially if Silva is too expensive and available for free at the end of the season if it doesn't work out with whoever is appointed. Only the club know whether the cost is important. All the main possibles are experienced in this league. Dyche is by far the least successful and most boring to watch.
16 Oct 2025 18:39:13
The word is £75m to Chelsea or Man City. Definitely not enough as he'll be worth £120m by next season after the World Cup etc.
11 Oct 2025 16:42:40
Man U would have to sell first due to PSR unless we're talking next summer from what I've heard about their finances.
I'd say he'd be more inclined to return to Newcastle if he wanted a move but I doubt they can afford it without selling before next summer either.
Anderson has done great out of moving to Forest. I'd say he's best getting regular Prem and European starts here if he wants to go to the World Cup.
08 Oct 2025 21:23:32
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 Sep 2025 07:23:43
Other favourites are Mourinho and Postegoglu, who both have Pedro Mendes as agent, as did Nono one trick.
"Postecoglou has held talks with Forest in recent days with regards to taking over.

"
15 Nov 2025 12:52:34
Enthusiasm is infectious. It doesn't make Dyche a tactical genius, but if the players are asked to do a job they can, then it goes a long way.
15 Nov 2025 12:51:08
Even if they can find a packet of peanuts down the back of the sofa!
15 Nov 2025 12:50:36
£70M won't be enough if there is no release clause.
15 Nov 2025 12:50:04
I definitely didn't want Dyche. But we can only get behind the coaches and team and hope we get something out of this season.
Then we can decide whether Syrianos and Edu's choice to recruit Dyche was unambitious or a master stroke.
15 Nov 2025 10:58:09
The reason we got promoted is that Cooper got the best out of the players and played round pegs in round holes. Hopefully Dyche can do the same.
Garner wouldn't get in the team, and to give him minutes would block us from giving a youngster a chance.
