That is great news, fair play to him for wanting to come back, just in time for Derby too👍.

Came in just after AK. He was the academy manager at QPR, touted as a upcoming good young (46) coach. Played for Huddersfield, Blackburn and Mansfield.

I know its not fashionable at the moment, but the only answer to getting goals is TWO UP FRONT!

We can't expect any loan striker with poor service to score goals.

Would like to know what Murphy, Vellios and Brereton think. I wonder if AK has thought of asking them.

C'mon AK, fortune is only allied to the brave, try this against Reading, they won't be expecting it.

Totally agree humourist. Won't happen though.


2.) 18 Feb 2018 15:31:10
We are only fans what do we know about football .
Looks like 2 up front is our current and last managers plan C .
In most businesses the customer is always right but the mugs like us go whatever fare is on offer gets these so called managers thinking how clever they are ,till they get the sack!

It will happen when all players are fit and we have a defence and midfield that can defend together.


4.) 19 Feb 2018 09:18:24
In the modern game, you don't just hire a manager, you hire his ethos. Every modern manager has a way he thinks football is played successfully and they very rarely divert from that. We just need to hope we stay in the division and AK can properly implement what he's trying to do over the summer.


5.) 20 Feb 2018 13:01:49
Have a read about his time at Boro,seems there were lots of falling outs with the Board ,players and fans ,lots of boring stuff played ,yes he eventually got them promoted but it soon fell apart.
Seems similar to when Caldwood was at Forest and that wasn,t a good era .
Did the Greeks do their homework on him?
CARLO


6.) 23 Feb 2018 11:04:48
I think he was unlucky at Boro they were struggling to adapt to the premier league, like most championship sides will do. When he left I think boro only picked up 4 more points from rest of the season, so him leaving sealed there fate.

He is good at getting his teams consistent, which is the first thing we need at Forest, give him time to get the team balanced and consistent then hopefully play some good football as there confidence grows.

A draw at QPR and a win vs brum, will do fine.

10.30pm last night Marinakis and Kominakis get the OK to buy the club.

humourist

1.) 18 May 2017 13:34:19
10.30 last night eh? Yet still no official announcement and according to Companies House still in the hands of the current owners.


2.) 18 May 2017 17:09:24
Deal complete. It will take a few days for Companies House to update the filing records.


 

 

11 May 2017 17:38:46
Hope I am wrong but I do not like the length of time it is taking for Marinakis to take over at Forest.

It was supposed to be 99 per cent certain to happen a week ago.
The longer it goes the more I am concerned but not as much as Fawaz who, if I was in his shoes would almost be saying "when am I going to get my money? ".

humourist

1.) 11 May 2017 18:02:09
Fawaz only has himself to blame, but the football authorities are probably relishing draging their heels, possibly messing things up for us.

Will it be a Portuguese pre-season tour yet again, or Skegness if Fawaz is still in charge.


2.) 11 May 2017 18:52:15
Further to my post on Marinakis. I know the EFL have got to be sure who they are letting loose on us because of the record of foreigners owning our clubs and fouling up but in his case he runs a successful football club. He is not a total stranger to the game which is more than I can say about some owners. So what's the hold up?


3.) 11 May 2017 20:00:28
Based on the Cellino saga the EFL will have no grounds to refuse him completing the deal. He has pre-empted a re-run of Leeds by doing a 50:50 deal with his buddy so when Greek politics go after him again and bring charges he can step down from being a director but maintain his shareholding.

Not an ideal start to new life but when Newcastle West Ham Liverpool ManU et al are all being investigated over irregularities is he going to be any worse than any other owner running a big football club?

We have already had our fair share of dubious owners but life goes on!

In this mornings DM Mark Clattenburg has joined Forest as advisor. This is quite common in parts of Europe. Read the report it makes good sense.

I am fed up to the back teeth with the Man U Henderson debacle. Sign Kaylor Navas and let's be done with it. Why we have wasted our time I just don't know.

humourist

1.) 21 Jul 2023 11:38:18
Forget Henderson he's probably still injured anyway.
He only the warming the subs bench in America.
At this rate Forest will only have the Current team!


2.) 21 Jul 2023 13:20:46
Listen get this in your heads THERE'S NO ADVANCED TALKS WITH ANYONE COMING IN OR GOING OUT AT THE MOMENT just saying get used to paying to seeing fringe players in the friendlies till the last 2 before the season starts my opinion only ????.

Missed this bit from my last post.
Another fantastic game of football against Luton in the final. We were 2.0 up and cruising. We could smell a 6.0 victory here when Roy Dwight broke his leg midway through the first half. No subs in those days so we had to hang on to win. Good fans in those days. A friend of mine and I had a final ticket each but miles apart in the ground. My boss heard about this and arranged with a business friend in Sheffield to swap the tickets as he was giving them to 2 people who were unknown to each other We got to Wembley and we were smack in the middle of the Luton fans behind the goal where all 3 goals were scored. We got pats on the back from all the hatters fans when the final whistle blew. Not sure what we would get today!

Nice story pal ?.


2.) 02 Jun 2023 13:52:01
The 67 Everton game, ISM Hat Trick, even better atmosphere than now, jammed in like Sardines, on the score board before each game.
My number one!
CARLO.


3.) 02 Jun 2023 15:04:06
In the trentend that day, lost my shoe when we surged forward walked all the way down Arkwright street with one shoe and on the bus home I liked those shoes. Mother won't be happy.

All I want to know is will SC get the final say on who goes and who stays.
Then of course will he get the final say on who comes in! In Cooper I trust.

If Steve Cooper is smart he should go in quickly for Maddison now Leicester have left the building.

humourist

1.) 28 May 2023 19:57:45
He’s a very good player but with the system we play MGW starts ahead of him and that’s Maddison’s best position so don’t see where he’s get game time.


2.) 28 May 2023 19:59:13
Humourist maddison won't come to forest, i think usual top 6 will get him.


3.) 28 May 2023 20:06:45
On his day a great player but how often?


4.) 28 May 2023 20:17:38
I would prefer Harvey Barnes.


5.) 28 May 2023 20:29:04
I agree trentendred, mgw definitely better over a period of games. Skegs I also agree barnes, he puts in more work than madision.


6.) 28 May 2023 21:12:52
I can't stand Maddison. He's taken them down and should be made to suffer with them.


7.) 29 May 2023 09:36:59
There’s better players out of contract. That would improve our match day squad.

But surely 79 if you held the purse strings would you build a new stand when we've failed to get to the premier league?

We must get quality players in first and get to the prem then spend money on the ground same as Watford. Although they look like going down at least they've got the ground if they cab get a quick return.

Red hot red I stated on banter site that this wonderful defence has gone to the dogs since Dawson returned. I'm afraid the old one's are being found out the same as our 36 year old centre forward was.

We need strength and speed at this level. Thank goodness its happening now so Sabri can do something about it in January.
Also I have never seen such an unhappy bunch of players even before the game started, completely opposite to about 2 months ago.

You are joking Ff79. Barcelona is no where near Alicante. Its even over a 4 hour train ride. He should have flown to Alicante.

Gazzared when I read that we were interested in Benfica goalkeeper at 13 million I thought 'has the world gone mad'
For goodness sake we've only just signed Pantillimon.

I agree with you , we have 5 goalkeepers now.
I therefore conclude that its just a load of media rubbish again as any player that appears available AK wants to sign them.

AK must laugh his socks off when he reads the'Forest must sign these players'columns.
However I tend to be more serious about what does not appear to have been picked up on.

Whats happened to the Peterborough pair have they disappeared off the face of the earth ?

Possibly right Skegs for although Heckingbottom appeared to be favourite, after yesterdays result it would appear that no official approach has yet been made

How can anyone say the defence is crap when they have only conceded by 1 goal in each game. Me thinks that your criticism thould be at the lack of goals we are scoring. Just 1 goal in each of the last 3 games could have made all the difference. Is it too much to ask?

Get it into your heads. We CANNOT lose Johnson to anybody if we wish to progress in this league. Either sign decent players or contemplate dropping down to the championship. Personally I don't think Cooper or Marinakis want that to happen no matter what it costs.

Well Steve Cooper must be able to see something in Chris Wood but I don't know what it is.
Hope he makes me eat my words, they would be very sweet indeed!

I can remember Dougan and Douglas just can't remember the other one.
Forest had Martin O'Niell and Neil Martin both on the same forward line.
