PHILINFRANCE Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 Oh, absolutely, and that is one reason I am sort of hoping Forest get relegated and, notwithstanding the MA situation, Ipswich fail to get promoted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted September 18, 2022 Report Share Posted September 18, 2022 I am convinced that Brian Clough will be turning in his grave at how his club are managed these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted September 19, 2022 Admin Report Share Posted September 19, 2022 I see the other club that the Forest owners own (Olympiacos) have sacked their Manager after six weeks (15 new signings) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Heard something the other day where (I think) the Forest manager was saying that the players are still yet to gel together properly. No surprises there then..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clutton Caveman Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 On 18/08/2022 at 17:53, Show Me The Money! said: Apologies if this has been discussed already and another apology as this isn’t City related but I’m baffled as to how Forest seem to be not only buying lots of players (16 now) but also spending quite large amounts of money for a newly promoted club that have a ground not really that much bigger than Ashton Gate. How are they able to do this? I’ve never liked Forest for some reason as they always seem to be one of these clubs that the media seem to kiss the ass off because of Brian Clough and have fans that think they belong in the prem because they won the European cup a couple of times 40 years ago. I’m basically wanting them to get thrashed every week and will be peeved if they stay up because they are basically over spending beyond there means. Rant over What a mess if they go down!!

Bazooka Joe Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Instead of buying so many players one at a time, it would be more expedient for Forest to buy in bulk or, better still, simply take over a better but cheaper Premiership club, such as Brentford.

Champfan45 Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 I hope they go down, the only reason they have all that money is from the owner being a big time drug dealer. It seems like they're buying names rather than putting a squad together. Once I saw them linked to the likes of Aurier and Batshuayi I knew they weren't actually scouting these players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinmans Love Child Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 Does anyone know how many of the players who got them promoted are still in the team? I'm assuming not many at all. I know it's a huge step up but there is/was no logic in recruiting so many players and losing the whole identity of the team that gained promotion by not at least giving the majority a chance to show what they can do. I can't imagine Cooper was happy really as he's in effect starting again with a new team, having to deal with his old team being pissed off they arnt playing and all I'd guess on less £££ than the new signings, a complete moral disaster. If they stay up it will be a miracle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they stay up it will be a miracle McKenna, Cook and Johnson. Yates came on at h-t, Worrall and Surridge unused subs. So 14/20 newcomers, still means 9 new signings (minus any injuries) aren’t even getting kitted up. Can only imagine squad disharmony looming, if not happening already. Who’d have guessed? Its ok getting promoted using loanees, but it leaves a big gap on promotion, unless you’re Wolves / Mendes, where you know the loanees will sign on again. Easy to criticise recruitment, so I will!!! One, it’s just so many. Two, they paid over the odds for some. Three, how many were ready for the Prem? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
