Some facts I learnt last night
1. SC does not get on with Marakanis - no surprise there. I suspect 8/ 10 players coming to the club are not his choice
2. Graham Potter will be the next Forest manager.

Our new manager is Steve Cooper? How do I know? Well all I can say is that he has been seen yesterday looking at a house.

doc m

1.) 17 Sep 2021 10:18:17
I doesn't matter who our next manager is and I think it's about time people stop blaming the managers.
The club has been a shambles for a long time now and it's clear to me where the problem truly lies.

MARINAKIS OUT!


2.) 17 Sep 2021 11:06:29
Tomo, mate, sadly without Marinakos there wouldn’t be Forest to support . We’d be defunct except for some glorious pages in the history books. Sometimes you have to sup with the devil to survive. 😕.


3.) 17 Sep 2021 12:00:59
I hope he's only looking at short term rental properties Doc.


4.) 17 Sep 2021 16:34:55
Marinakis is keeping the club alive. Be careful what you wish for.


 

 

16 Sep 2021 07:19:00
Allegedly Steve Cooper and Alex Neil are in the melting pot . If it's true both will be trying to negotiate for control of player transfers . This is the problem not paying off CH . Big M is not in control, it's the myriad of people in between all wanting to have a finger in the pie . The club is undergoing a slow death due to their decision to sign player after player with 0 pedigree. We will not get either Cooper or Neil if the managers role is simply a coach . I.

Don’t want any of them underperforming idiots, frying pan, fire.


2.) 16 Sep 2021 08:31:40
Alex Neil was at the game last night. Seems odd that he would come to watch dreary Wednesday game at the CG.


3.) 16 Sep 2021 09:34:47
Noooo! Please NO!


4.) 16 Sep 2021 10:35:23
With you perko, nooo nooo nooo to either. I would rather have clough and pearce. Now that would sort this lot out.


 

 

19 May 2021 15:22:08
The successful teams next session will have a nucleus of players who have played together at least one season before . So we have McKenna Worrall and maybe Lawrence Gabriel . So maybe a new left back. Midfield we have Yates and Cafu ( Cafu got a contract last season so someone thinks he is good ) . I guess Brennan Mighten to develop further. So we need a midfield dynamo plus a winger and a forward or two.

doc m

1.) 19 May 2021 20:59:54
We need a manager first I'm worried who he will bring in with his tactics.


2.) 19 May 2021 21:02:09
Cafu is a nowhere player. I simply cannot see where his strengths lie. He can't tackle can't head can't shoot, is slow, and his passing forward shocking. get rid.


3.) 19 May 2021 21:54:02
But apart from that, he’s a fantastic player 😂.


4.) 20 May 2021 06:39:18
Perko lol sometimes he did quite well just poncing around looking a little tidy. But when you wear gloves when there's a nip in the air and your meant to be gritty midfielder, you have to be special. Average with NO end product, we need much much better players.

{Ed014's Note - I thought for a minute there you were talking about Paul Pogba! 🤣


5.) 20 May 2021 11:00:14
Agreed Rutland, not good enough. Think he was given a two year contract aswell, who makes these decisions. He offers nothing.


6.) 23 May 2021 20:18:22
Apart from Garner the whole midfield are dross. Get rid of the lot and start again.


7.) 28 May 2021 22:18:41
Id still keep sammy for the bench. Don't care what you lot think. He can change a game, pass or shot. On little wages. Looks lazy and can be. But one of the only players apart from garner sadly i thought could change a game from midfield. Just saying.


8.) 29 May 2021 12:00:01
I’ve got no problem keeping ameobi Bowie, just wish he could unplat his feet and learn to cross a ball.


 

 

10 May 2021 21:58:08
Can no one in the FA see the stupidity of the current arrangements between the bottom of the premier league and the Championship. It is an utter disgrace that teams are allowed to yo yo between leagues whilst teams like Brentford have to fight in the playoffs. What's the betting that WBA and Fulham will be promoted next season!
Ed The parachute payments they got season before last surely they don't get again .

doc m

{Ed002's Note - They do indeed get them paid again and I agree the system is unfair and the money should be spread out differently but the argument is based on the disparity of income between the two divisions could adversely impact the relegated side - there have been a few examples of clubs falling away in the past.}


1.) 11 May 2021 09:51:36
I think clubs fall way because the chairman takes out after the visit to the prem.


2.) 11 May 2021 14:34:06
The parachute payments are too big and last for too long.

The way forward is to lower the size of the payouts and only one second year at a lower rate to give teams time to reduce their wage bill etc. The clubs will still have an advantage from being able to buy lotts of decent players when in the Prem but will have to release some.

Problem solved. Except it is the Prem clubs who vote on the rules, so they won't change.


3.) 11 May 2021 18:53:48
Surely relegation is there as a punishment for not being good enough, as for a club being adversely affected, clubs need to do what we the general public have to do to when we have financial difficulties, cut their cloth accordingly.


4.) 12 May 2021 11:15:40
If clubs didn't spunk tens of millions after promotion in a desperate attempt to stay in the promised land then they wouldn't need parachute payments. All parachute payments do right now is allow clubs to be more reckless when they go up. They need to be stopped or heavily reduced, especially since the introduction of FFP.

As said above, I can see WBA and Fulham being clear favourites to go straight back up.


5.) 12 May 2021 17:44:44
I think what's wrong as well is that the parachute payment doesn't count towards ffp. Basically a double bonus.


6.) 12 May 2021 18:40:38
It would be better if the parachute payments were put in a pot that was shared out between all of the Championship and the relegated Premier league clubs based on their relative league position with the clubs relegated from championship missing out.

The concentration of cash in the yo - yo clubs is getting worse and as everyone is saying the three favourite next season to go up will be WBA, Fulham and Shef United. And the rest of the clubs cannot compete financial because of FFP.

I am afraid if they don't fix this then the championship will become predictable just like the premier league.

But I don't expect this will change.


7.) 13 May 2021 06:50:53
The EPL should mandate relegation clauses in player contracts reducing/ capping salaries. Some would demand relegation release clauses but that's fair enough. Promoted teams would find it slightly harder to compete in the prem, but they could redistribute parachute payments and make the EFL more competitive.

Leicester put us to shame - sold arguable their best two players, have been on top of the championship all season, holding Chelsea atm, picked a Guardiola junior. I don't think fortunately we will be playing them next season.

On the brink of bottling promotion doc but do agree with your post on the whole.


2.) 17 Mar 2024 17:57:16
They don't deserve to go up
They started all the trouble with ffp, new ground and went bust, got promoted breaking ffp and now they have broken it again
Horrible cheating club.

Skegs try telling all the contractors and self employed people who didn’t get paid, and went bust, and people who lost their jobs, when Leicester went bankrupt and set up again with a clean slate overnight, how clever they were, disgusting, bordering on fraud,

Got to agree with you down the pub, forest should take a long hard look at Leicester before dumping the city ground for some vanity project that would be closer to pride park than slab square. It wouldn't be sustainable.

So it looks like Origi will be our striker till the season is out. So he will have to play upfront. Are only hope is that he finds form. I despair regarding goalkeepers. The goal keeper and centre forward are they the first positions you fill when constructing a team to survive. We have neither. Either Origi comes into his own and the goal keeper turns over a new leaf or we are doomed. It was Navas and Tiawo last season, where are they now in our hour of need.

Delores O Riordan - surely one of the biggest losses ever considering how much she still had left to give. For me only Jim Morrison is a comparable loss. Many other brilliant artists gone too soon it those two were such unique talents.

12 Mar 2024 21:17:21
Why do we have 3 overseas goal keepers and if you count Horvarth 4?
1. Is there not a decent goal keeper in our under 21 or 18
2. When we played lose league clubs they're goal keepers seemed first rate against us
3. Both Henderson and Navas earned us extra points a plenty and probably Navas kept us up on his own
4. There must be lower league goal keepers who could be spotted and brought to the City ground as an investment.

1.) 12 Mar 2024 22:21:17
Agreed Doc. Generally, I would love for our club to go back to actively promoting our talented Academy players into the first team. We have one of the best Academy's for youth players in the country. Shame we seem intent on wasting money on 'has-beens' when we have this pool of talent available which we seem to be largely ignoring,


2.) 12 Mar 2024 22:42:54
No point arguing about the keepers, that's what we have to get us over the line, same as everywhere position
It'd for nuno to get the best out of them
To me against luton and the tight ground it is, we need cool heads
Fillipe has to start and I'd play boly alongside him or niakhate
It's a game for experience and a grind our result
Love murillo, but for this one game I'd leave him out
Also controversial, I'd leave MGW out of this one
It's no disrespect to either player, just don't think this game will suit them, it's a game for battling and we need a result.


3.) 12 Mar 2024 22:49:46
Legless when Cooper was sacked it undid everything that had been achieved
Sometimes you have to look at where we were in the bottom three of the championship and the ride we went on
Atmosphere that I've never seen in over fifty years, created by one man, who embraced our passed achievements and pulled the whole club together from the shambles it was
What have we got now?


4.) 13 Mar 2024 08:15:22
Back to square one.


5.) 13 Mar 2024 09:12:03
I think Karl Darlow was the last Forest goalie to come threw the ranks, with a few exceptions, Samba, Navas, Camp, it's been a mish-mass of average keepers. Who can forget Pantillion!.


6.) 13 Mar 2024 16:42:52
Barron what about the Serbian clown we had got a while, ? ?forgot his name already, we got 5 now, and you couldn’t make a keeper between the lot of them,

Tonight's Nigeria team plus subs contains one Forest player Aina. No other Forest players in this team. So says what the manager thinks about Aina who has played every match and the other Forest players who haven't even made the subs bench!

What other forest players for Nigeria, Boly aurier and sangare aren't Nigerian.


4.) 08 Feb 2024 11:49:18
Aurier is no longer a Forest player? Aina is getting rave reviews for Nigeria. Boly played the whole game for Ivory Coast and Sanghere came on at the hour mark. So we have 3 players in total at the Final on Sunday then they need to get their asses back over here ASAP! ??.


 

 

06 Feb 2024 11:41:08
Whatever you think about the FA cup and whether we should field a strong or weak side, there is the payback of a home game against Manchester United on TV. This would be extra cash in the bank. A win on Wednesday would also put us in a good place against Newcastle who will be hell bent on revenge.

1.) 06 Feb 2024 12:30:25
Don't care what anyone says you should always put your strongest team out and go to win every game Cup or not just breeds confidence.


2.) 06 Feb 2024 12:31:40
If we can't put a team our to beat Bristol with the the amount of money we've spent and a bloated squad. We don't deserve to go through to the next round. They are not actually ripping up the championship are they ?.

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.

4 point deduction in my view is neither here or there. We have matches on paper that we should win against those around us and some other teams who are going no where in this league up or down. If we don’t survive it will be mainly down to the players not giving their all. We are just in the relegation mix and could easily be out of this after the next match.

Bournemouth 4: Luton 3, nearly as bad as Forest vs Luton earlier this season. Forest 2 0 ahead Luton score 2 I think in the last 10 mins and it’s then 2-2. Maybe the writing on the wall for poor SC after that game. Thanks to Bournemouth we have a tiny glimmer of hope. Luton should feel pretty bad as Forest did at 2-2. We can only hope, take each match as it comes. As others have said, to loose in Saturday means curtains.

SJ, this is a banter site and people say what they think. We are and always will be supporters of club through thick and thin. My point to you is 4 -0 to our Reds, who is scoring the goals in this match my friend? The trio of them are not exactly on red hot form atm. It has been suggested before but I think Murillo moving to midfield and Felipe and Boly in Defence. Or you accept that you are lucky if you get a point and go for a back 5?

It doesn’t take a football genius to see we are in serious trouble, irrespective of a point deduction. Luton on paper were the odds on to be relegated. They drew with us at the CG, and are away from home our form, is nearly as bad as it was last season. We have an under confident goal keeper and currently no striker on form. To draw under normal circumstances would be no bad thing, but we need what we have achieved once this year so far - a win.
