Some whispers coming out of the camp. It’s really not good. Over training, differences of opinion, players running until they are exhausted. Calling out of tactics, senior players not really onboard.
Player disharmony is catastrophic for any club, but I understand it did seem like players v management rather than players against players.
Massive mistake IMO to appoint Dyche in first place, his brand of football isn’t to my liking.
Sadly looks like it’s Periera - the guy who couldn’t win a game for wolves this season. If it’s him he will relegate two clubs in the same season. Unbelievable.
1.) 12 Feb 2026 16:26:33
Can you name the source of these alleged “whispers” Frog or are they just careless ( and baseless)?
2.) 12 Feb 2026 19:46:36
Stokey its been all over the radio this afternoon, no need to have a dig due to the content not following the happy clapper mentality. ?.
3.) 12 Feb 2026 20:56:16
Just curious mate. Which radio channel? I’ve been following the story in the media, not heard such rumours on the radio. BBC Five live sport and my daughter has Radio Nottm?
4.) 12 Feb 2026 21:30:44
Talksport. ?.
5.) 13 Feb 2026 07:44:42
Thank you ?.
6.) 13 Feb 2026 10:05:28
Apparently 5 senior players were asked to meet with Mr M after the game, the meeting took a couple of hours then Mr M called Dyche back to sack him. ?.
7.) 13 Feb 2026 14:03:28
Yeh like I’m making it all up Stokey ?
I made the post before this was common knowledge so perhaps an apology eh?
8.) 13 Feb 2026 14:46:06
Sources inside the club were apparently saying this last week. This is according to folks like Wolfie on FFTV and the Athletic who do have contacts in there.
9.) 13 Feb 2026 14:52:38
Ever seen a pig fly? ?.
10.) 13 Feb 2026 16:17:42
I’m not apologising for seeking clarification. Touchy or what? Talksport, “Wolfie from FFTV” are still a bit nebulous to my mind. I generally rate the Athletic because I have a Liverpool contact there ( Simon Hughes ) a brother in law.
I’ll be amazed if the story is true and substantiated. It’s not our owners style and I’d love to know the 5 alleged backstabbers.
11.) 13 Feb 2026 20:08:13
I can name a couple of back stabbers on here.
Just saying and thanks for the non apology. Your a class act.
12.) 13 Feb 2026 20:46:06
There's some glory hunters on here aswell that turn their backs on the club when results aren't good.
13.) 13 Feb 2026 21:48:54
Frog, mate, you forget I’ve had 30 years in an evidence based Police career. I’ve spent a big chunk of it in numerous meetings with CPS barristers and solicitors all over the country including, on many occasions, the Inns of Court in London on whether the evidence obtained is sufficient to secure charging and the prospect of conviction.
Your post is interesting as is the media discussion but I can hear a senior barrister saying…
Were you present at the meeting Mr M allegedly had with several senior players?
Do you know or have any record from anyone present at the meeting as to what was discussed or said?
Has anyone even admitted such a meeting even took place? Or given an account of what was discussed?
In conclusion, if not, it’s hearsay and gossip, perfect on a Rumours and media website but no where enough to proceed
Sorry, but that’s how it is and how I roll.
I will, of course, apologise if any solid evidence emerges to confirm the story
Or.
14.) 13 Feb 2026 22:40:12
No one will know what really happened
But putting it simply, marinakis wasn't impressed with the performance against Palace Leeds and wolves and neither was i or the vast majority of supporters?
So whoever he chose to speak to player wise is irrelevant
He obviously wanted to hear from a players point of view, but in reality had decided to axe dyche anyway and rightly so.
15.) 13 Feb 2026 23:18:57
Tbh I've only had one court case and I won, hear say is irrelevant as its not possible to prove
Its al about actually facts and evidence?
Short statement but true.
16.) 13 Feb 2026 23:21:51
High horse or what? ? Stokey get a grip, that ginger boyfriend of yours has gone. Remind me of something, is this not the "rumours" section of the site? The key word is in its name "rumour". Journalists whispers and usually total crap but sometimes there's substance. ?.
17.) 14 Feb 2026 08:45:45
Red Robin, that’s exactly what I said “perfect on a rumours or social media website “. I’m sure some on here can’t be bothered to read the whole post…. understandably perhaps ?
DTP exactly. Hearsay and gossip don’t mean jack ?. I think I only lost one case at Court in 30 years where I was OIC. And that was when the main witness bottled out….
18.) 14 Feb 2026 12:46:52
Honestly Stokey i read the first few lines then scan over the context. ? ?.
19.) 14 Feb 2026 15:20:17
Again, that’s why I used the word “understandably” mate! ??.
27 Jan 2026 17:31:36
Looks like we have made enquiries about Lewis Dunk! Plus have an offer in for Mateta- at least with Luiz going the treatment room will be thankful.
1.) 28 Jan 2026 22:41:22
Dyche and dunk ball?
Why do we need a cart horse like dunk?
02 Jan 2024 20:11:37
Worrying reports tonight that the Premier League are looking at us over financial fair play. Shame given some of the dross we have paid out for -I know we sold Johnson but it could be a serious matter for us.
1.) 03 Jan 2024 06:51:49
They may stop us getting anymore players, which is not such a bad thing?.
2.) 03 Jan 2024 07:54:37
The Premier League will take Chelsea's and City's points deduction and give it to us and the Toffee's.
3.) 03 Jan 2024 09:29:07
Could effect a potential Navas loan?
4.) 03 Jan 2024 11:54:34
The PL is looking at everyone, it's the annual check of club accounts and we (and every other club) will find out if we've been good boys or not on 14th January. It's only the press that are targetting Forest as 'most likely', no the PL.
5.) 03 Jan 2024 14:08:01
I think we'll probably be OK:-
A few points.
We spent around 85m on wages last season; this excludes any income we received from players going out on loan.
Our liability on amortised transfer fees for last season was around 50m, you can add another 5m on top of that for loan fees.
That comes to around 140m
Our earnings from the PL will be a minimum of 114m
Our earnings from gate receipts will be around 30m, with another couple of million for the cup run.
We should have cleared another 5m from commercial rights and another 2m for additional corporate earnings.
I would guess that our earnings will be at least 150m - that would give a 30m margin of error - 10m plus the 20m we are allowed to lose
The Premier League allows any losses directly caused by the c.v. to be discounted from FFP calculations. Forest have previously said that the adverse impact of c.v. was £16.7million across 2019-20 and 2020-21.
Where we do have a problem is promotion bonuses for the year we went up. We didn't budget for these, so probably went outside the limit that season. Will we be sanctioned for that? If so, I'd say it is unlikely to be a 10 point deduction effectively for getting promoted unexpectedly.
6.) 03 Jan 2024 15:10:47
Interesting analysis RC. I've read that our championship losses used up our 'allowance'. £13 million per season and £35 million for first PL season, we overspent by £61 million before promotion.
Crux will be, what have we spent and generated in our first season back?
It would appear we're not allowed any losses, so BJ sale could be crucial. I like Forest in the news but prefer if it was footballing issues.
7.) 03 Jan 2024 22:31:21
Brennan Johnson transfer fee was 'pure profit'. Which apparently is quite important when factored into FFP. Not totally sure, though, as I've not really looked into that side of it all.
8.) 04 Jan 2024 08:44:55
Accounts for 2022/ 23 ended June, Johnson was sold in September so won't be included in the accounts.
Forest will argue they kept him beyond June to claim an extra £10m+ on his transfer fee.
Think it's going to be tight. Hopefully Big M has a few contacts.
9.) 04 Jan 2024 16:48:39
Steve, the big man does have contacts but unfortunately they’re all in Greece mate! ??.
10.) 08 Jan 2024 17:07:18
Eric Dier offered to Forest on loan apparently. sounds like rubbish to me!
14 Jun 2023 17:42:55
Brentford bid 30 million for Johnson.
Dream on.
Who’s been smoking the crack pipe down in London? Obviously we rejected out of hand.
1.) 14 Jun 2023 19:19:09
Has to be untouchable this window.
2.) 14 Jun 2023 22:11:23
Ivan Toney bet on us keeping him so must be good.
3.) 17 Jun 2023 10:25:44
He will want another year with us at least to establish himself as a top striker.
16 Apr 2023 13:31:07
Well I’m in the boozer before kick off. Big rumours that Steven Gerard will be at the City Ground today. So keep your eyes out folks ?.
1.) 16 Apr 2023 14:03:55
More likely to be keeping an eye on parked cars for a few quid than anything else.
2.) 16 Apr 2023 14:14:02
I don’t think a young inexperienced manager such as Gerrard or Viera have any chance of saving Forest, infact it’s frying pan into the fire. Who did Crystal Palace replace Viera with a 70 yr old. We would be better with a Sam A, Harry, or Benitez.
3.) 16 Apr 2023 14:29:11
Sacking Vieira worked for palace as they brought in a manger who knows the club and players. Sacking the manager hasn't helped southampton or Leicester.
4.) 16 Apr 2023 16:30:00
'arry has sunk every club he's been to!

Utterly abysmal appointment IMO but I will start going again and support the lads. Couldn’t stand Dycheball much longer though interestingly he has the highest win percentage of any Forest manager in the premier league according to talk sport.
1.) 12 Feb 2026 20:04:14
Yep, been posting his various stats on here for some time Frog. I think it’s a disaster for the club myself but, as always, I support the new manager. I fear the worst but hope for the best. Also, I don’t believe in miracles but we will need one now. COYR.
2.) 12 Feb 2026 20:23:00
I told you all days ago he would be the new coach
Give him a chance as wolves owners sold his best players and spent nothing in the summer and Edwards hasn't made a difference tbh.
12 Feb 2026 09:08:08
Delighted the dinosaur has gone, some of that football was atrocious. But honestly who wants Pereira as a new boss? He couldn’t buy a win at wolves. Talk about frying pan into the fire.
And I have to say it - Edu needs the sack too. Some of those signings utterly woeful. We are in danger of becoming the new Watford, I think whoever comes in now we are relegation nailed.
11 Feb 2026 21:41:39
Well Munmad I can honestly say I told you so.
Spineless tripe, abysmal multi million pound signings. Hutchinson- I couldn’t stop laughing with those corners. Lucca- couldn’t trap a bag of cement. Another wonderful gift from Edu. Jesus - clueless. CHO couldn’t beat an omelette never mind a man. Morato just Morato- crap. Ndoye headless chicken.
When will we try and play two up top? Was this a match that was calling for such a move? Well we will never know because the dinosaur spectacle dictated no change of gameplan. Completely embarrassing. Dyche and Edu OUT.
11 Feb 2026 19:02:02
How does Morato get a game? Does he have some compromising photos of Dyche lol?
1.) 11 Feb 2026 19:20:39
Asking for trouble with him, just ridiculous!
2.) 11 Feb 2026 19:57:07
What's going on Dyke!
Where's Pizza Crouch?
Dyche is an imbecile, a masterclass in how to deflate a team! ????.
3.) 11 Feb 2026 20:03:11
Palace got strand larsen we have lucca ??.
4.) 11 Feb 2026 20:03:56
Wasteful infront of goal.
5.) 11 Feb 2026 20:13:49
How does CHO get a game.
6.) 11 Feb 2026 20:22:58
Hopefully we won't be made to pay here.
So many bloody opportunities.
7.) 11 Feb 2026 20:24:10
Morato on because we need a left footed centre back, and he's done nothing wrong so far. CHO waltzing about doing nothing. Lucca (a natural cf I'm told) misses a sitter - Jesus will speed things up for us second half. If Dyche can't win this we are relegation-bound. We are playing the equivalent of a League 1 side.
8.) 11 feb 2026 20:42:26
relegation! ?.
9.) 11 Feb 2026 20:50:49
Lucca like he won't score any goals.
10.) 11 Feb 2026 21:26:38
goalsa.
11 Feb 2026 16:00:17
Well my lad and my nephew have set off for tonight’s match. I told them not to forget their sleeping bags, neck braces and anti-depressants ?
I’m not going. Had enough of Dycheball. Time to make a stand, enough is enough.
COYR
We live in hope.

Watch out you'll be buying a recliner froggy ???.

Can't fault ya Froggy. Sit back nice and warm, wack the match on pour yourself a few cold ones and wait for the chinese to arrive.
The alternative, freezing ya nuts off getting soaked, £6 for flat pint and a Forest special meal deal.
Sausage roll, bag of Crisps and a Mars bar. Gordon Ramsey missed a trick there ?? Flick that switch and back ya go bud ??.

11 Jan 2026 16:45:17
If Edu has anything to do with it he’s probably got one leg to stand on, no pace and a bad attitude to training.
24 Dec 2024 20:15:34
Err no thanks. He turned us down before. Why bother calling z he’s just not worth it.
22 May 2024 20:47:46
Well if he does go we will get some compensation. Skegs can be our next manager from the luxury of his seaside recliner. How ya fixed Skegs? ?.
14 Feb 2026 05:33:10
Huge gamble MV, it really is. No matter which side your on of the Dyche debate he was, points wise, doing enough to keep us up. However as you say the last three results have been hugely disappointing. Big M has rolled the dice. I for one hated Dycheball but will say it was hardly his fault we couldn’t score from 35 chances against Leeds. The players have to take some responsibility here.
We need to give the new man a chance but I think, almost ridiculously, he has a three game window. If he starts off on a losing streak he’s toast with the fans. We are in a sad state and given the form of Leeds and Weat Ham I honestly think we are favourites for the third relegation spot after Burnley and wolves. Hope I’m wrong but it’s desperate times.
11 Feb 2026 17:31:57
No wonder I have no hair ?.
11 Feb 2026 05:37:38
Munmad you keep happy clapping. I call it as I see it. We are one dimensional, same tactics (if you can call it that) every game and players not putting a real shift in. You say I need to get a grip, I say you should have gone to Specsavers. We will struggle against wolves you see if most posters on here aren’t right.
10 Feb 2026 22:08:34
The spirit of Leeds and West Ham is beyond question whereas our plodders put in minimal effort. When is the last time we put in a stellar performance where everyone fought for the shirt? That’s why I think we are gone.
10 Feb 2026 18:51:28
Ahaha Larry lol Dyche wouldn’t even pass a cycling proficiency test excuse the pun ??.
