Kelleher was the subject of a large bid from us apparently.
If it had been accepted it would have taken the cost of trying to replicate Samba seem absolutely outrageous.
Big fees spent, loan fees and huge wages trying to replace a man who should have been kept at all costs.
I, ll always wonder who was behind this decision, it definitely wasn’t Samba.
CARLO.
1.) 09 Sep 2024 19:41:31
Samba was being greedy. He rejected a new contract that was worth more than double his salary.
2.) 10 Sep 2024 10:27:14
yes from 5k to 10k
now it, s cost millions, Henderson who replaced him 100k
CARLO.
3.) 10 Sep 2024 15:31:01
If we had succeeded in signing Kelleher, the keeper search would be over. A class above what we have and what we've had.
4.) 15 Sep 2024 23:47:07
I agree with Carlo, we missed the boat with Samba. Let a good one slip and have paid for it in money and points ever since.
5.) 16 Sep 2024 21:49:50
You should listen to what samba had to say. I have unfinished business in France and his family wanted to return. He did the business for us and we let him go because he wanted to return home.
6.) 18 Sep 2024 11:00:32
Why listen to what the actual player said when you can just make up a load of crap and question someone at the club?!?!
7.) 19 Sep 2024 21:11:14
2 tone your forgetting carlo has a mole ??.
8.) 20 Sep 2024 13:54:16
My missus has got a mole right near her.
Never mind I've said too much.
9.) 21 Sep 2024 18:28:59
You getting moles mixed up with beavers pollyard?
10.) 22 Sep 2024 16:42:30
The mole is near her beaver.
11.) 22 Sep 2024 17:24:33
Funny.
12.) 22 Sep 2024 19:09:16
I'm not one to put my nose in pollyred
I think it could be a problem?
31 May 2024 21:12:33
Awful lot of speculation about us selling our stars, if it is pure mischief the club for trust with loyal supporters need to stamp on it NOW.
CARLO.
1.) 31 May 2024 23:07:14
I couldn't agree more. If this is just lazy journalism they need to be sorted out!
2.) 31 May 2024 23:10:06
Just how much do we need to bring in to clear FFP? I've read that Mangala will be signing permanently for Lyon, won't that be enough?
3.) 01 Jun 2024 04:43:35
Might know more by the end of this month, we are not sure yet if Nunos staying, but if Everton are asking for between 60-80 million for Brantewaite, we should be doing the same for MGW and Murillo, not as reported 40 million.
10 Mar 2024 10:37:10
I, ve seen my MOLE this weekend and the club provisionally know the deduction.
CARLO.
1.) 10 Mar 2024 15:53:52
Minus 12?
2.) 10 Mar 2024 16:07:09
Mole, wart or varuca?
3.) 10 Mar 2024 16:07:53
My blister says it's 6 points.
4.) 10 Mar 2024 21:01:00
Just let it go carlo
You know nothing.
5.) 11 Mar 2024 10:47:49
It, s OK to have a very high opinion of yourself but never make the the mistake that others have to share it.
CARLO.
6.) 11 Mar 2024 12:45:59
Carlo, I’m reminded of T. S. Eliots line in “Preludes” mate
“Short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
ASSURED OF CERTAIN CERTAINTIES
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world. ”
How certain are you my friend? Worth a bet? Just asking for a friend……. ????.
7.) 11 Mar 2024 14:04:12
People in high places don't give information out, especially to Joe public.
{Ed001's Note - that's not necessarily true. They talk about stuff in front of the lowliest staff all the time. The higher they get the less they even notice ordinary people.}
8.) 11 Mar 2024 14:45:51
Ed I’ve always subscribed to the idea that it’s best to have friends in low places! ??.
{Ed001's Note - why do you think I talk to you lot? Just kidding but we don't have a Sheff Utd, Burnley or Luton site....}
9.) 11 Mar 2024 16:10:01
I can assure you any thing I hear DEFINITELY comes from well up the food chain.
Obviously it doesn’t always come to fruition but a weeks a long time in football.
CARLO.
10.) 11 Mar 2024 17:54:44
Ed 1 Your wise words are as pearls cast before swine………. ??????.
{Ed001's Note - hahahaha great comeback Stokey.}
11.) 11 Mar 2024 17:55:40
Pretty sure those involved - Forest, The PL, the legal teams - will know a likely outcome but I don't think anything will be set in stone just yet.
12.) 11 Mar 2024 20:20:18
Carlo you always come out with you know something, but never say what is actually going to happen, anyone can say that
You told us all about marinakis and then turn round and said you've never met him though.
Now you say you know?
But your mole also gets it wrong ??.
13.) 11 Mar 2024 23:19:22
I have a mole on my arse, but none of you would be interested!
14.) 12 Mar 2024 09:02:46
Sharkey, that’s true mate! ???.

Tell him to say hi to Ratty and Badger for me.
17.) 14 Mar 2024 16:30:26
I think 3 points is what we will be receiving.
29 Feb 2024 18:08:19
Looks like we could be in a similar situation as Coventry found themselves, a big row is brewing with the council with Forest threatening to leave the CG.
Looks like we could have to borrow Pride Park.
CARLO.
1.) 29 Feb 2024 22:28:56
No row carlo
Marinakis just telling the council to sell him the leasehold or he might take us elsewhere and build a new ground
Previous owners should have done the same.
2.) 01 Mar 2024 07:39:58
Pride Park! Go and wash your mouth out Carlo mate! Even that Stadium had its design problems, especially in building of the stands erroneously facing the pitch ……. ??.
3.) 01 Mar 2024 10:42:16
Mr M playing Al Capone again, it won, t work here.
CARLO.
4.) 01 Mar 2024 11:09:26
Council ran out of money, need to sell assets, good time to make them an offer for the land. May take Nottingham City Council off the list of plan approvers.
5.) 01 Mar 2024 16:20:37
Exactly Phil.
16 Dec 2023 08:04:35
SC isn’t t told who to pick but I can assure you he is definitely told who not to pick.
No top bloke will accept this so we will end up with some no mark yes man again.

We are Forest diehards on here and I for one am not revelling in the current situation but I like most fans are appalled at the mess being made after at last Forest starting to gain real respect again, why would anyone through sheer ego want to undo all the progress in one fell swoop.
Anyone who is happy with things that’s your prerogative, to keep telling others be happy with what you’ve got is not.
1.) 13 Oct 2025 12:04:59
Cryptic, i like it. Just say my name lol, i'm not going to throw a wobbler and withdraw from the site with my tail between my legs like some here.
Its not the opinions that get on my goat as the more diverse and varied they are make for good reading. Its the constant posting the same crap daily. Yes we all want the situation sorted out, yes we all want the best for the club. But i don't think Mr M gets the credit he deserves and definitely doesn't need to have his character assassinated on a daily basis.
Just saying.
P. S Carlo if you to take your frustration out on someone please pick me, because i find you funny. ??.
2.) 13 Oct 2025 12:09:54
?? "It's sad, so sad

8.) 15 Oct 2025 13:28:17
I think being annoyed at the situation we are in is completely justified and frustrating, we should be enjoying this season but instead it's some highschool reality show. However, the same ego and passion that got us to where we are also has another side to it. Bless MR M for getting us here and as long as he keeps that same passion and ambition no matter what, it's better than anything else you could hope for.
12 Oct 2025 12:26:51
I think Ross Wilson’s statement on why he, s joining NU tells you everything that’s going wrong at the CG.
He gives his reasons as Trust Cohesion and Alignment, things so obvious lacking here at present.
He couldn’t have made things clearer.
1.) 12 Oct 2025 13:37:01
I’m sure those reasons sound familiar to you Carlo? ??♂️ ?.
2.) 12 Oct 2025 14:16:37
Lol 2tone?? i'm sure that 50% of the posters on here are reveling in our current predicament, talk about doom and gloom. Its depressing scrolling down and reading the negativity. ?.
3.) 12 Oct 2025 16:47:31
RedRobinHood, it may be concern for Nottingham Forest rather than negativity. There's plenty of clubs in the 1st and 2nd division's who had owners that had ambitions for there clubs, until it goes pear shaped and the supporters are left to pick up the pieces!.
4.) 12 Oct 2025 17:25:52
We're all doomed i tell thee??.
5.) 12 Oct 2025 17:36:34
When we're winning people here find reason to moan, when we're losing its just gets ridiculous.
WITHOUT MR M WE WOULD BE BACK IN LEAGUE ONE. yes he's made mistakes but who hasn't?
Just be happy we have an owner who is ambitious and has pumped the best part of a billion into the club since he bought it.
Some of you need to get a fooking grip and be thankful for where we are. ?.
6.) 12 Oct 2025 18:30:32
Everyone makes mistakes in life even the best, Mr M is no exception. But he will put it right make no mistake, I believe he will bring in dyche until the end of the season just to steady the boat, then he can get the coach from Fulham who is out of contract next may. he is also going to spend many more millions on the ground, although it's going to take a lot longer now he's scrapped the original plans. let's hope the council doesn't take three years again to give planning. we as supporters can't turn on him after all the man has done for us. as for the coach? That's another thing. But after Chelsea I dare say that will be the last of him. Got to keep the faith, after all we've been in the s. t before.
7.) 12 Oct 2025 19:09:23
Agreed RRH!
8.) 12 Oct 2025 19:11:24
Are you sure you’re not someone else RRH?
9.) 12 Oct 2025 19:58:14
Rrh we was already in the best place we were in for decades. and now because Mr m got involved in a on pitch scuffle with a manager that exceeded beyond anyone's expectations we're back to being forest a laughing stock again. he's got the devil on is shoulder whispering in his ears edu.
that arsenal are now thriving without and now Mr m looks like he knows he's made a mistake and his trying to please the fans by bringing in someone with a past to forest dyche. not many fans like ange so I think he will go but bringing in dyche is desperate beyond belief to where we was at start of season.
10.) 12 Oct 2025 21:13:53
I do love your optimism Winter and dislike of the negative posts of which I'm sometimes party to on here! Naturally, I've been the same optimistic character as you mate for the majority of my life. However, probably down to what I've been through, I've become much more pragmatic/ realistic nowadays.
Hope, aspirations and dreams are essential - truthfully, I wouldn't be writing this now without belief in those things. However, I think that sometimes we all need to realise, especially as life-long Forest supporters, a time to accept realism as a driving-factor during a certain moment.
Cue, reality today at Forest. I don't want to sound like a drama queen - but I do think that, as a club, we need to nip this downward spiral in the bud now. We can all see those bad character traits that have held us back in the past re-emerging. As a club, we have worked way too hard to get where we are now to throw it all away.
Big M public apology, Dyche appointment, Edu sacked = the way forward sorted. Yep, I dreaming again.
11.) 13 Oct 2025 00:23:48
Good post lego mate, you know Mr M won't apologise though lol. Dyche maybe a possibility and Edu won't be going anywhere.
Carlo i'm Winter and always will be.
Time for everyone to take a deep breath and let the Godfather deal with the situation the best way he feels fit. Pretty sure he didn't become a multi billionaire by making mistakes and not biting his bullets.
?.
12.) 13 Oct 2025 07:44:04
That’s right RRH, he’s got to deal with it hasn’t he? I’m sure he will.
13.) 13 Oct 2025 10:17:34
And for the record i wouldn't have chosen Dyche, Ange or Raffer. Marco Rose would have been my choice after Nuno pressed the big red self destruction button. ?.
10 Oct 2025 10:37:58
Just drove over Trent Bridge, sure I saw some vultures circling. ??.
1.) 10 Oct 2025 10:54:54

2.) 10 Oct 2025 14:31:29
Give it a rest, he'll be in charge for the next three games at least. Time to get over it and back him??.
3.) 10 Oct 2025 16:40:04
That’s your choice, it’s not mine or many others seemingly.
4.) 10 Oct 2025 16:47:00
Nope, it's a Banter site for opinions and at the moment Postecoglou is the main topic! Until the Club make a statement backing him the specatation will continue.
5.) 10 Oct 2025 19:05:08
Its not really banter when your continuously posting the same crap daily. ?.
6.) 10 Oct 2025 19:06:34
Definitely not backing the Arrogant Koala ?!
He's made a living from being a Charlatan and the sooner he goes the better!
7.) 10 Oct 2025 20:51:47
How far has your constant whinging and whining got you? ?.
08 Oct 2025 16:03:29
I wonder if for one second M gave any thoughts to the Forest fans when he pulled the trigger or was it totally about his Ego and Edu having his ear?
Not much thought put into the sacking or the replacement IMO.
I, m sure 99% of Forest fans would not have made the same decisions.
1.) 08 Oct 2025 16:40:29
He was blinded by his massive ego.
2.) 08 Oct 2025 17:07:51
He thought of nobody but himself Carlo. His money his club. Suck it up or do one is the philosophy nowadays mate. Crowd attendance and season ticket money don't even cover MGW's wages and £90 a day fines when he gets his daily parking ticket outside the local coffee shop. Arrogance of the highest order. From the top down they don't give a toss about fans these days mate.
3.) 08 Oct 2025 17:15:01
It's about time a statement was made, one way or another, how this is panning out, really shows how incompetent it is behind the scenes, and the supporters matter not!.
4.) 08 Oct 2025 17:26:21
Definitely his ego and the devil on his shoulder edu encouraging him.
Greed has the better of Marinakis unfortunately.
His wealth has tainted his judgement on wanting things yesterday.
Live in the fast too long and you will have an accident!
5.) 08 Oct 2025 17:29:16
So your going at the owner, after all he's done? Can't you see how weak they are now. Do you actually think the greek gives out for a laugh. 99% i think not. Myself, I'd crawl into the owners corner. because let's face it, that's what we're doing, trying to crawl under the barbed wire of fair play, players playing sh1te, coach/ manager clueless. Refs/ var etc etc etc. BUT young man. Each and every other, apart from usual six go through the same motions. Get your head outta your arses the lot of ya. We are in the sh1t full stop. For me, cannot see light as I've said a while ago. Am I happy. Am I fck. Will I get on with it. Yup. Until the next cooper/ nuno comes along. FTID.
6.) 08 Oct 2025 18:11:16
I think you need to go back to the end of last to where their relationship started failing, really poor return for the last 5 or so games and we should have cruised to Champs League footy.
I'm with you Bowie, we had shite football for years and his money probably saved us from another session of League 1 football, I am really grateful for what he's done thus far.
I'm not saying he can act with impunity but he has certainly put his money where his mouth is and backed the club.
Hopefully by the end of the season this will be long forgotten and just a distant memory:)
7.) 08 Oct 2025 18:54:22
?
Found it, the self destruct button.
8.) 08 Oct 2025 19:50:10
We should of cruised into champions league ??? could you imagine any football fan across the world saying that about forest at start of last season. With the squad of players we had nuno bought them together made us hard to beat we took 4 points off Liverpool we won at places we had not won at for decades the players got tired towards end of season injuries as well we made Europe still and you talk about distant memories ginger sometimes I can't believe I'm a forest fan listening to others I hope ange stays it would be a laugh edu will take us to league 1 and bankruptcy at least the kids this season get to have memories in Europe thanks to a nuno masterclass last season that will probably be decades to see again before we come back if edu has been sacked.
9.) 08 Oct 2025 22:08:08
Read posts properly, no one is talking about from the start of last season, with 5 games to go and the position we were in, we should have cruised to Champs League. Distance memories as in hopefully our current plight would be a distant memory.
If there are any big words I used, let me know and I'll try and explain those to you as well.
Maybe a quick adjustment is in order as the mask has started to slip again already:)
10.) 09 Oct 2025 05:07:38
Unfortunately Marinakis has to take some of the blame despite all the he's done Bowie.
11.) 09 Oct 2025 09:53:18
All of you lot complaining about a guy who has invested half a billion pounds in the team and given us hope and success. Or course he has an ego, you don't get to where you are without one. Such short sighted garbage i read here sometimes. We should all be on our hands and knees kissing this man's shoes.
12.) 09 Oct 2025 12:11:05
Never heard of irony?
Build something that was going OK and then suddenly destroy it with little or no thought.
The fans are the consistent part of a club everyone else comes and goes so they are very entitled to an opinion and not just be expected to suck it up.
08 Oct 2025 09:55:40
This time last year it was great being a Forest Fan but then in Nov. Edu arrived.
06 Oct 2025 17:48:33
The contract gave Nuno the opportunity to say what he actually thought knowing he, d be expensive to sack, but M with more money than sense decided he show who is Boss.
Act in haste repent at leisure.
25 Jul 2025 10:28:12
O, brien was better than Danilo but the big man orderd Copper and Nuno not to play him, had a raw deal here and the treatment he received could destroy some characters.
Swansea relegation bound when they signed him, finished half way up.
Players should be treated on merit.
10 Sep 2024 10:27:14
yes from 5k to 10k
now it, s cost millions, Henderson who replaced him 100k
CARLO.
20 Apr 2024 16:49:40
We, ve suffered badly with the sale of Jonno, think he, d have put one or two of Origi, s misses away.
Need stability if we survive, having to sell your better players not the answer until it, s inevitable.
Sell your best players rip the fans off, discourage young fans, poor management IMO.
CARLO.
09 Apr 2024 17:04:45
Going to have to get used to being without him anyway.
CARLO.
16 Oct 2025 09:05:49
Like the majority of our team he improved to a new level under Nuno.
Some of them will never reach that level again, Anderson could be the exception.
15 Oct 2025 09:18:29
The new stand could have easily been extended and quickly but what M wanted and what has caused such a long delay is making it into a commercial project, in other words to make money.
The revenue from just more fans was not the aim.
13 Oct 2025 13:10:51
Edu in, Nuno out, Wilson out, AP in, yes I accept full responsibility.
12 Oct 2025 19:11:24
Are you sure you’re not someone else RRH?
10 Oct 2025 16:41:18
Your talking about Nottm Forest, the mushroom treatment.
