So let’s have a quick review.
Wrexham take Chelsea to extra time. Forest lost on penalties after extra time.
Forest draw with Wolves who beat Liverpool, drew with Arsenal, etc.
Drew with CP with 10 men.
I know, let’s sack the manger. Poor judgement.

The Man City game may have saved Vitor for now, but he could be gone by the end of the month if we don't win a couple of games anywhere.

I honestly think we will, mate. You could see that the team have been playing for him v City and Liverpool, particularly. Spurs look completely shot, and void of confidence. MGW and Anderson have stepped up, Murillo's back to his brilliant best, Williams continues to give his all too, not forgetting Sels. So yes, as Ian Dury said, Reasons to Be Cheerful!!!

Did Chelsea lose? Or did they win? It looks like Chelsea are the name in the draw, not Wrexham. What point are you trying to make?

The only mistakes our owner has made are hiring Dyche and Postecoglou in the first place. Nuno forced his hand with constructive dismissal, conveniently signing his 3year contract first. Nuno needed to realise he was first team coach at Forest; he didn’t run the Marinakis Group. If the owner wanted to put a layer of management into his business, then that’s his prerogative.
Nuno should have got on with the job he was being well remunerated for, but Nuno never stops anywhere long; his career is littered with similar incidents. This is the best owner this club has ever had. All this "Supreme Leader" b******s. It’s not a meeting of the politburo, Stokey.

08 Mar 2026 14:44:30
Lol, Stevie, let's see where we are in 2 seasons, probably in League One by then, with relegation, FFP. Because the owner won't sit back and let people who know about football do their job. He should stick to managing his boats.
8.) 08 Mar 2026
08 Mar 2026 14:50:14
I've always given praise to our owner where it's due, Stevie. His passion, ambition, and investment in the club cannot be faulted.
But have you perhaps glossed over the fact that when you make mistakes as the top man, then the buck stops with you.
Just to jog your memory....
Out of all the managers he's appointed at Forest, only two have been successful: Cooper and Nuno.
Points deduction?
Clattenburg?
Spitting at a ref?
Irate public announcements about refs, basically saying they are bent.
Very lucky we've not been sued for defamation.
Ditto, appointment of certain officials put in charge of our games.
Publicly coming onto the pitch to berate the manager.
Accosting refs in the tunnel.
Appointing Edu.
I could go on....
Forest were many fans' second club (particularly after the Clough era). Now we are perceived as a basket case and a bunch of whingers.

Incidentally, Stevie, the title of Supreme Leader is Iranian and would be set above the Council of Guardians in that country.
The Politburo was the senior Council of the Russian Communist Party, whose members, including the leader, would address each other as "Comrade". Just saying.

It can't be denied that we are now quite disliked by the neutral. The neutral must be torn as to which scalp they'd like to see, Spurs (who are despised by the neutral) or ours.
I think Levy is the figure people have disliked, but it makes the entire club public enemy number 1...
12.) 08 Mar 2026
08 Mar 2026 17:58:40
Mr. M is an evil necessity for Forest.
Yes, he funds the club without doubt, but with that you get a hot-headed, unpredictable owner who's mind changes depending on how he wakes up.
13.) 08 Mar 2026
08 Mar 2026 18:17:06
Most clubs have glove puppets, it's just the choice of glove puppets he gets wrong. I think he's done well for us other than that. He can't run the club without glove puppets; he just needs to recruit the right folk.
I'd personally like a Freedman or Pearce-type character in that role. He just needs someone with good knowledge who could oversee a better approach to signing players.
14.) 08 Mar 2026
08 Mar 2026 19:05:35

Aries (March 21 - April 19) is the first fire sign of the zodiac, symbolized by the Ram and ruled by Mars. Known for being energetic, impulsive, and courageous, Aries individuals are natural leaders, often initiating projects and embracing challenges with bold optimism. They are independent, direct, and highly competitive, though they can also be impatient.

It was jester who suggested I wasn't a true follower of Forest, and wouldn't be allowed into live chat( like I give a s*** ) not the other way around, if you could be bothered to read the posts properly, which you obviously didn't.

Those of you who backed a Turkey and Dyche need to get over it. Dyche was an Edu appointment and Edu has been sacked now. What does that tell you?
It tells me the owner realised his mistake.
The new boss has the team doing well. We were unlucky at Liverpool. He's only had one bad game, we've looked good in the others.

It goes way deeper than that, Cyclist.
The club has been a basket case from the minute Edu walked through the door.
He's been an absolute disaster, and thankfully Big M has seen the light and the error of his ways.
You asked a while back what Edu had actually done wrong.

09 Mar 2026 20:27:49
Fred, I asked, because apart from the Dyche appointment, we didn't really know which decisions were Edu's. One example is that the signings of Jesus, Cuiabano and Cunha were probably Marinakis via Textor, as was, I suspect, Ange.
Which signings were really Edu's was in doubt, as was whether they would work out.
Some might still work out, but in many cases I doubt it.
Clearly, Marinakis thinks some of the Turkish signings were Edu's fault, so that clears it up for me.
51.) 09 Mar 2026
09 Mar 2026 20:31:11
The irony is, most fans agreed with Nuno about not having enough cover in the fb positions. We just thought it was idiotic to go public with a man like Marinakis in charge, especially just after signing a three-year deal.
Too many egos at work in the Forest hierarchy. Marinakis may be a flawed personality, but at least, if it is clearly him in charge, there are no power struggles. His record in appointing managers isn't that bad, apart from Ange.
52.) 09 Mar 2026
09 Mar 2026 20:38:34
Cyclist, in answer to your question, mate, it tells me that our owner's recruitment skills are not his strong suit, as evidenced by the fact that 8 of his 10 managers since he arrived in 2017 have been sacked, on average, with less than a season in charge. The only successes have been Cooper and Nuno.
As for the off-field appointments, they change almost as frequently.
In particular, he must have either appointed incompetent accountants, causing us a points deduction for breach of FFP, or, more likely, he appointed David Randle as Chairman (a top sports law KC), then chose to ignore his expert legal advice.
It's just as well Forest are his hobby, and shipping is his profession...
53.) 09 Mar 2026
09 Mar 2026 20:47:59
There have been some really strange decisions and a catalogue of errors.
Zinchenko (Edu must have had a hand in that one?) was signed on a season-long loan, which was terminated early.
Signing Kalimuendo and then letting him go out on loan left us with one fit striker.
Either Marinakis is using him as a scapegoat or he realises the guy was a disaster.
54.) 09 Mar 2026
09 Mar 2026 20:48:50
Marinakis has obviously recruited better than previous owners, as none of them got us into the promised land.
If you think Marinakis treats Forest like his private toy, obviously that's true. Allowing capitalism to take hold of what were member-owned organisations was never going to go well.
It's like the privatisation of utilities in sporting terms. Somebody benefits, but it isn't the fans. We now pay more and get less, just like when we turn on a tap, light or try to catch a train.
Clough was right.

09 Mar 2026 23:25:42
Stokey, I thought you were supposed to be intelligent. The buck does stop with Marinakis; he literally pays for every mistake he makes. Where else does the buck stop? If we are relegated, the value of his football business decreases massively, and a loss in turnover of over 100million. So would you have us believe the 'buck stops'?

Maranakis might be learning by butting out of football decisions and paying and leaving people alone that know what there doing now. Biggest mistake he ever made not listening to nuno simples and a fact that could cost us and him big time.and edu has all the headlines now at forest what he wished for.but for the wrong reasons.
Its took a long time for Maranakis to realise that he made the wrong choice with edu but fair play to him he's got rid of the twerp before the end of the season and didn't let him spend in January good riddance to bad rubbish even dtp seen this coming that's why he disappeared doesn't do i was wrong.again and again ??

Well, skegs, he's doing something right. He owns a multi club football group, a shipping line, multiple other businesses, and half of Athens. My guess is his decisions in life overall have been slightly superior to yours.
