I have a “To Do” and a “Not To List” for our owner….
Do tell the recruitment team to sign no more than 4 players of high quality to replace MGW, Ando and Murillo, plus a big goal scorer centre forward to cover for Woody who’s not getting any younger.
Do not spaff the TV money on 8 or 9 new faces of doubtful quality as you have in the past.
Do sort out the incomings and outgoings ASAP and in any case well before the season starts, notwithstanding the World Cup.
Do not bring in Silva or any other manager to replace VP but nurture and support him because he has the players onside and he knows what he’s doing.


Remember what happened when you appointed Ange on a whim ….
Do give VP at least a bare minimum 2 preseasons and 3 transfer windows.
Do support the Academy. We must be the most attractive in the East Midlands and (apart from Villa) the West Mids plus most of Yorkshire (apart from Leeds). Plus from abroad as per Lego’s suggestion.
Do try to instil a sense of stability into the running of the Club.
Do get the WFCG expansion in motion.

Haha Stokey, what have you been drinking today? Mr M does what he wants, he's impulsive and demanding. Doubtful he cares what us peasants think. ?

Well, RRH, it's his money he's wasting, but it will always, in one sense, be our club, mate. I live in hope.
In the police, we always planned for the worst case scenario, which in our case would mean losing Murillo, Ando and MGW, plus Woody to injury and age.


My message, for what it's worth, is that if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Mr M has a penchant for doing daft things on a whim and ignoring good advice.

Can a leopard ? change its spots?
Marinakis will do as he pleases, unfortunately.
Hopefully he has learned valuable lessons this season and takes on board how close Forest were to relegation.
Regarding Silva, me personally would stick with VP.

{Ed001's Note - yes it can and they all do as they age.}

Bottom line is, we overachieved with a small squad, and got lucky with no injuries on the whole.
Europe came too soon.
Overall our signings have been on the plus side since we got promoted to the prem.
