BS15_RED Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 1 minute ago, And Its Smith said: Grown adults being glad that another adults career hasn’t progressed as it looked like it would. Sad Not glad, but the way he rubbished our club as being beneath him when we tried to sign him was very disrespectful. It’s only human nature to feel a little bit smug that his career has stalled.

He said ‘no chance’. And that was it. “I wanted to show respect to Bristol City and it was great that they wanted me. “But we made the decision 10 seconds after the offer went in. I wouldn’t have changed my mind. “My dad has been a big influence on my career all the way back to being eight years old and picking Bolton instead of Manchester United.” So out of 'respect' for us he came down here, wasting everyone's time when he'd already decided he was never signing. How respectful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy. Oh come on.. He was a rather young man hotwired into mistakenly accepting his father's advice-even felt obligated to do so. I could look in the mirror & see another that has made that error,,as I'm sure there are numerous others on this forum.. I'm sure his desire would be to turn the clock back & wishes yesterday to 'leave him alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He, guided by his father, made a career choice that seemingly hasn't worked out for him. So what. You clearly don’t remember what actually happened then. You don’t see Gayle or Gray getting similar stick do you? That’s because they didn’t go about it in a c**tish way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Balls Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 So watching the EFL highlights and see Zach Clough making his debut for Wigan, just 21 months (yes nearly 2 years) after his last competitive match for Rochdale. Apparently Forest paid Bolton £3 million for him in 2017, for a total of just 27 games and 4 goals. Not aware of any injury issues, just not good enough. And that’s even with a surname you would imagine would make you popular at Forest. The phrase that comes to mind is “hardly pulling up trees”! Given all the rubbish flying around when we were interested him, we definitely did well to avoid signing him. Thank you Zach’s dad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for us Grey made the right decision and Burnley got promoted.. As for Clough, alot of fans are petty and vindictive (including me) and any slight is not easily forgot...

Jesse Lingard was being linked around the same time on loan, but pretty sure that was proven to be a rubbish story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
