Quick one reds, who would you say was best manager since clough/ taylor? (Never give it to clough as individual) I'd still say Frank Clark. Brilliant football. Pressing and teamwork. Amazing signing on roy. Thhhtill think young chettle was brilliant.
01 Jun 2025 18:30:22
Id go with Clarke as well. I was talking to a friend who's a season card holder, I mentioned that I recalled a commentary on forest away to Northampton town after we were relegated from the championship. I believe Steve Hodge was with Darren Fletcher, Hodge said it would be a long time before forest signed any more world class players. We got to thinking did we ever have any world class players? We could only come up with Shilton and that was borderline. So have I missed anyone I'd be interested in any imput on that one.
01 Jun 2025 19:04:55
Just Shilton?
What about Francis, Anderson, walker, pearce, robbo, hodge, collymore, Webb, van breuklen and many many more, so yes we have had many world class players.
01 Jun 2025 19:16:38
Red Vale John Robertson was a magician.
Archie Gemmill, Stan Collymore, Pierre Van Hooijdonk Roy Keane, Jim Baxter, Terry Hennessy, Viv Anderson, Stuart Pearce, Tommy Gemmill, Des Walker,
Trevor Francis.
There’s a few there. Didn’t always play for us when at their peak but they did play for us.
Some didn’t get the recognition they deserved.
You’re a tough task master Vale
Shilton borderline? He sent strikers the wrong way ?
Hope we do sign some more or better still, discover one or two. ?.
01 Jun 2025 19:46:39
Yes add teddy sheringham to that list wilf.
01 Jun 2025 19:47:34
I agree wilfoldson they are great players but don't go with the world class tag. Maradona Messi beckenbowre and the Dutch forward cruffe can't spell his name. Ronaldo at his prime. i put them up there.
01 Jun 2025 19:52:37
Oh I forgot Pele pusgas and usabio. mind you those were in a league of their own.
01 Jun 2025 21:53:27
World class a matter of opinion then?
Maradona, Pele, cruff and some others are just legendary and above world class, but they still relied on their teammates, because that's what football is, a team game.
01 Jun 2025 21:54:48
Definitely Clarke. I really like Paul Hart as well.
01 Jun 2025 22:15:15
You forgot the original sir Stanley Matthews, who played way beyond retirement age.
02 Jun 2025 07:56:42
It is a high bar you’ve set Red Vale which on reflection possibly Shilton does go above it.
I liked Sherringham Skegg really class player.
There’s so many really good players who’ve worn that famous red shirt. My favourite is Robbo.
Unfortunately the latest news I’ve had is that he is quite poorly now. Met him several times and he was so humble. No superstar ego which probably why he never got the full recognition he deserved.
I bet Manny Katz still has nightmares about Robbo even now.
Best manager after Clough and Taylor?
David Platt by country mile ?.
02 Jun 2025 10:14:09
Manny Kaltz ?.
02 Jun 2025 11:42:54
No love for king billy? ?.
02 Jun 2025 16:07:13
King Billy will always be king as long as derby retains its rightful place as the worst team in premier history
Horrible little man who conned a living out of forest and not worked since.
02 Jun 2025 16:21:10
DTP i was taking the p**s??.
02 Jun 2025 16:30:56
And as far as managers go. I always liked Cotterill, shame Fawaz came in and sacked him, thought he did a decent job. ?.
02 Jun 2025 16:52:56
Winter I was taking the piss when I said I couldn't find anywhere in benidorm to watch psg vs inter, there where about 500 screens around ???
Just can't stand the little Scottish twit
Sure you mean Cotterell?
Not odriscoll?
02 Jun 2025 17:01:48
100% Steve Cotterill ?.
02 Jun 2025 17:04:01
Anyway thought you'd be enjoying your holiday DTP not coming on here, unless you've run out of redheads to burn?????.
02 Jun 2025 17:23:16
Loved it last day of my missus milking her 60th for last six weeks ????????????.
02 Jun 2025 18:29:50
Benidorm ? the skeg Vegas of Spain ?? no wonder you enjoy it there your a secret skeggy lover aren't you DTP ?.
02 Jun 2025 18:39:53
Skegs you read my mind? but i didn't wanna take the p**s anymore ?????.
02 Jun 2025 18:47:39
Let's be honest winter it's just a cheap hot skeg Vegas ??.
02 Jun 2025 19:14:29
Skegs i live in the holiday equivalent of auschwitz and i bet my tans better???.
02 Jun 2025 19:33:53
Winter ??.
02 Jun 2025 19:38:53
You'll need to try harder than that
Goodnight ??????.
02 Jun 2025 19:53:19
I'm not trying DTP pal. you mentioned before about skeggy being a cheap tacky place and so on. if I want to go home from home with the added sunshine cause that's all the difference I go benidorm mate just saying early night for you again. time for the usual cocoa before bed ??.
02 Jun 2025 19:54:17
Night DTP ???.
02 Jun 2025 20:11:01
Bring back fawaz and balloons I'm starting a protest ??.
02 Jun 2025 20:51:36
Where is Balloons? Skegs? Not seen him here for a while now?.
{Ed001's Note - he was banned for being toxic. There is far too much toxicity on here and it needs calming down. There are a few more on the edge as well.}
02 Jun 2025 22:15:28
How long is he banned for ed 1 and I know balloons well as a person. i couldn't of met a better person. great person and under all the banter a very kind person so I'm pretty insulted by your lack of intelligence about people and how you see people without knowing them first so add me to that list wouldn't want to waste my time here.
{Ed001's Note - ok bye bye.}
03 Jun 2025 00:11:33
Sad day ?.
03 Jun 2025 02:14:18
Yes I think so Bowie, going to miss the pair of them. They do give an alternative angle to debate.
03 Jun 2025 20:37:45
You won't miss them as they'll be back
Enjoy the peace and talking forest and football.
03 Jun 2025 21:06:48
Bit harsh DTP, i remember Skegs telling me off on your behalf. I love them both, as Vale said, they bring a different point of view. ?.
03 Jun 2025 21:18:30
What point of view is that then winter?
Other than trying to wind posters up all the time, I don't actually see any sort of point at all.
03 Jun 2025 21:44:54
DTP you've never tried to wind anyone up? ???.
03 Jun 2025 21:57:01
Was never an initial intention winter, I just retaliated to both of them as have many others on here for a valid reason.
03 Jun 2025 22:09:37
I'd rather have Rogie back on here posting ?.
05 Jun 2025 21:57:54
As jester said who are you mossy? We've been on here years. Just asking.
05 Jun 2025 22:51:20
Tbh Bowie
Jester wasn't calling mossy out at all, he was just saying non of us know who we will sign and we mostly get it wrong
Please read it again as it wasn't a personal dig at all.
05 Jun 2025 23:17:56
That was a doctake btw ?.
05 Jun 2025 23:34:29
I just feel it's all been wrong lately dtp. Just sad.
05 Jun 2025 23:39:36
Been coming for years.
06 Jun 2025 01:10:47
Bowie I've been posting on here years also!, if my post about having Rogie back posting, instead of your buddies who drove him of, I would, sorry if that upsets you?.
06 Jun 2025 14:16:09
Sorry mossy ?.
