Ward Prowse in ?.
1.) 30 Aug 2024 17:34:03
Elanga out.
02 Jun 2024 05:25:39
Does anyone know the actual figure of how much we have got to raise in sales ( by the end of this month I think? ) to avoid more sanctions? ?.
{Ed002's Note - I don't have an exact figure but it will be eased by the money for Brennan Johnson being in the 23/24 PSR accounts - which is ironic has NF were harshly punished for his sale not being registered before June 30 last year. My gut feeling is that the sale of Morgan Gibbs-White and possibly one other will save the day.}
1.) 03 Jun 2024 07:23:23
Pretty much think we will be relegated without MGW assists if he is sold. Nobody else in the team will come near to that assist mark if he goes, and that means starting with more or less a 10-goal deficit.
2.) 03 Jun 2024 11:17:41
Back of envelope we need GBP25 million in (book value) player sales between now and 30 June 2024. Remo Freuler and Mangala sale would contribute towards this (where sale price is greater than their book value)
3.) 03 Jun 2024 12:51:37
That's made it clear then. !
4.) 03 Jun 2024 15:36:56
Let’s be realistic here, nobody except the Big Man and his Financial Director knows the state of play regarding FFP. He’d be foolish to take another points hit. The off field distraction just saps morale, regardless of the rigged system.

From John Percy and the athletic what is happening to our club. ?. " Jonjo Shelvey ordered to stay at home after angry reaction to being named on Forest bench
Shelvey was excluded from Cooper's matchday squad for Saturday's Premier League game at Liverpool following a confrontation after a team meeting.
It is believed that Cooper was unhappy with Shelvey’s performances in training last week and felt he had to take a stand.
1.) 25 Apr 2023 10:27:07
heard of Custers last stand, could this be Coopers?
CARLO.
2.) 26 Apr 2023 06:35:42
Too right, I assume 'one' of the reasons Shelvey was signed was for his experience. Yet he acts as a petulant teenager! Needs to realise nobody is bigger than the club.
3.) 28 Apr 2023 17:52:56
I see from today's interview they've kissed and made up.
30 Jan 2023 15:28:07

Angelo more of a done deal and he's 18 is that old enough for you balloons? ??.

In the twilight of his career but worth a pop ?.
05 Sep 2022 10:27:23
Well lads the rumours are rife around the City Ground today.
Surridge got an offer on deadline day and was told if he stayed he would be played. So he did. Cooper then put him on the bench for Bournemouth so he went home
Cooper has got the hump because 75% of the signings has nowt to do with him and that's why he playing all Brits from the start plus his players
He could resign or get sacked very soon if things don't improve. No new contract to sign as yet.
Dyche waiting in the wings .
Regular visitor to our games.
Let's pray its all not true. ?.
1.) 05 Sep 2022 13:19:57
Not true simples.
2.) 05 Sep 2022 13:30:33
Could the club have grounds to sack surridge for breach of contract balloons. Sounds like surridge has some balls, but if was lied to then can’t blame him, though it’s a tad unprofessional. Maybe he is getting sick of being misled by cooper. There’s no doubt from our perspective that surridge has been poorly treated as he put his health at risk for the club last season. I have no doubt that cooper had nothing to do with the majority of those signings as 2star alluded to yesterday that god knows where they came from. Balloons look at my reply to east coast red on the banter. From what you say it looks like it’s all about to kick off and cooper has history of walking if unhappy. Contract? Has he not signed it?.? Sounds like 2 fools parted.
3.) 05 Sep 2022 20:10:11
Dane Murphy and our scouting team find the players. Do you think he would be still here if that was the case. So by my reckoning MGW, Williams, Henderson so almost half the fees we have paid on them. Add to that our pursuit of players like Rodon I don't think it has bleak as you are making out.
4.) 09 Sep 2022 22:27:27
i thought I saw a tweet saying Surridge going to QPR on loan. Thought that fell through when Batshuayi deal failed. So how close he got to QPR I don't know but bound to have messed him about.
5.) 18 Sep 2022 02:16:41
I'd put surridge in before awoniyi any day of the week don't know why he's not getting a regular start.

Well Lads the transfer window is upon us again. Big M will cheque book out in an attempt to cement his Euro ambitions. Having shifted most of the deadwood out. Who's on your list to finish the job. Mine
Toffalo, Omer-deli-belly, Ward-Prowse
Awoniyi, Dennis, O'brien, Richards, Turner
Bowler. That's nearly another team still, all be it a crap one ?.

Cooper sacked as Leicester manager ?.
1.) 24 Nov 2024 16:09:18
Why I thought he was a great premier league manager in the making. oh no that wasn't me that said that ?.
2.) 24 Nov 2024 16:28:48
Not funny Skegs great bloke took us into the Prem good luck Steve for the future.
3.) 24 Nov 2024 16:42:01
Spot on
Can't understand why any Forest fan would have anything but respect and gratitude for Steve Cooper.
Without his contribution we would likely be a struggling championship side.
4.) 24 Nov 2024 16:48:38
Should of gone back into championship as manager where you was good at. but thought he was better than that. good luck with your next championship roll, ?.
5.) 24 Nov 2024 16:56:12
And with him 67 we would of been back down in the championship struggling ??.
6.) 24 Nov 2024 17:16:36
Doubt it.
But he had ran his race at Forest. And overall did a great job.
Agree there are plenty of championship clubs that could do a lot worse than appointing him. Sure he would do a better job than Lampard at Coventry, for instance.
7.) 24 Nov 2024 17:24:57
He's a great championship manager 67 but just hasn't got a clue in premiership fester fans were getting fed up with seeing every player playing in there own half all game just totally boring to watch he should of took Sunderland job.
8.) 24 Nov 2024 17:38:05
I gave nothing but respect for Steve Cooper. He got us promoted and kept us up first season back in the Prem against overwhelming odds. He may well have kept us and Leicester up, who knows. He will, one day, become a great Premiership manager when he’s given half a chance with a good owners and the sort of half decent team we have now become.
Good luck to him ??.
9.) 24 Nov 2024 18:28:25
Most boring football in Forests history. Nightmare to watch. Leicester couldn't stand anymore.
Can't fault em. ?.
10.) 24 Nov 2024 18:29:05
He's another Warnock and will have good future has a yo yo manager simples ??.
11.) 24 Nov 2024 18:30:34
Freedman was worse!
12.) 24 Nov 2024 18:50:02
He was rogie ?.
13.) 24 Nov 2024 19:04:32
Megson.
14.) 24 Nov 2024 19:48:20
Shows your gratitude for what he did for nffc, something no other manager did and at the first time of asking with no preseason and us rock bottom of the championship after 6 games
But then again I'd expect nothing else from you lot.
15.) 24 Nov 2024 20:59:43
Lol dtp listen to yourself what gratitude you showing Nuno you couldn't even congratulate him on his manager of the month award as you've just said expect nothing else from you Mr wrong ?.
16.) 24 Nov 2024 21:13:05
You look at what you post about nuno
I'm consistent in my view of him
You sit on the fence and say he's j7st a stepping stone anyway.
17.) 24 Nov 2024 21:26:17
I just feel really sad about this. I will always have an affection for SC and gratitude for what the guy did for our club. He's still young in management terms however and I'm sure he'll bounce-back if he can find the right team in the Championship to re-boot from.
I think the guy signed-up to mission-impossible at Fester. Trying to win-over sceptical fans; financial clouds hanging over the club; trying to make the best out of a mediocre squad of players (ring any bells?! ) ; and therefore probably forced into defensive tactics to limit damage on the field.
Bottom line is - would we want SC to come back to Forest? Personally, with a couple more years of successful experience, I would welcome the guy back with open arms. I do miss his passion for our club.
18.) 24 Nov 2024 21:34:06
That's exactly what he his dtp it's called a upgrade and that's what happens in football and business and life mate there's no sitting on the fence pal I just don't fall in love with managers and players like you do he was bought in has a upgrade and to get us mid table with that better players will want to come to the club and eventually a better manager it's that simples really ?.
19.) 24 Nov 2024 21:40:41
Great post legless.
20.) 24 Nov 2024 21:49:41
Lol legless you will fit in well with some that you meet on the 14th if they turn up ??.
21.) 24 Nov 2024 21:50:17
So basically skegfs you don't have faith in nuno and don't support him.
22.) 24 Nov 2024 21:57:24
Have a good one legless ill be watching in teneriffe
Hope you have a great day and a win
Enjoy the experience.
23.) 24 Nov 2024 22:13:47
Excellent post about SC Legless! Couldn’t agree more mate ?.
24.) 24 Nov 2024 22:59:53
Thanks DTP. I know we don't always agree, but that's what this site is all about isn't it?! Enjoy Tenerife mate.
I can't wait for the Villa game - first time back at the City Ground for many years, as well as being a virgin to the disabled area! A couple of beers before and after meeting some of the crew on here and, hopefully, witnessing a Forest win!
I just hope the trains behave as it's a long way from Cornwall to Nottingham! (I'll be wearing my colours when we have to change at Derby station BTW).
25.) 25 Nov 2024 11:19:43
Sorry DTP I wasn't criticism of cooper when I said megson, in my mind megson should never have been any where near forest. I will always be grateful to cooper he achieved the impossible, I don't think any other manager has taken a team from the bottom of the championship to the prem in one go. Palace came close but weren't bottom. No distrispect from me about cooper. football doesn't stand still cooper had his time and now we have Nuno so let's move on.
26.) 25 Nov 2024 16:37:07
Roy Keane did itcwith Sunderland and they were rock bottom Vale ?.
27.) 25 Nov 2024 19:02:10
Skegs. Maybe just try to be more positive in life mate. You never know - you might enjoy the experience!
28.) 25 Nov 2024 19:05:07
Thanks for correcting me balloons, much appreciated.
29.) 25 Nov 2024 19:45:47
54 years on this earth legless not everything in life smells of roses but I make the best of it ?.
30.) 26 Nov 2024 08:10:37
Cooper did an excellent job for us. I don't understand the negativity towards him. He took us up after being bottom and he kept us up after having 30 odd players thrown at him and told 'sort that lot out' and he did. He may have lost his way a tad in the second season but credit were it's due. Bin dippers gave him 12 games. He didn't get much of a chance but that's the current football climate at most clubs.
30 Aug 2024 17:28:49
Elanga on his way to Newcastle 40-50 million
What a class bit of business that would be for the headless chicken ?.
1.) 30 Aug 2024 17:42:48
Only for PSR.
2.) 30 Aug 2024 17:56:47
Balloons when you ever see him play apart from on a dodgy stick
Really good player but if we going to get 40mil can't really complain, headless chicken my ar$e
Think ward prowse great signing.
3.) 30 Aug 2024 18:12:25
Maybe if we didn't buy players for other clubs we wouldn't have problems with PSR.
4.) 30 Aug 2024 18:30:11
Those players are bought with a view of see how they get on at olympiacos and if they do well will be with us next season, nothing wrong in that skeggs, don't have to worry about psr till later next year plenty of time to address that.
5.) 30 Aug 2024 18:37:36
Elanga going knowhere been turned down by forest.
6.) 30 Aug 2024 18:38:37
And the endless amounts if cameras at a match don't cover the game properly then redstripe. At least I see all the instant replays while you queuing for an over priced pie and pint while the game is still going on ?.
7.) 30 Aug 2024 18:47:24
No psr problems at all this year and certainly not next year as the 3 years in premier league will take care of our difference
And these players going out all seem to have been at a profit for par accounts.
8.) 30 Aug 2024 18:56:48
And if they don't do well dtp that's 25 million wasted on crap again ?.
9.) 30 Aug 2024 19:02:06
Sorry Red. Definitely not a Headless Chicken.
10.) 30 Aug 2024 19:03:23
Anyone who thinks ward -prowes isn’t a good signing obviously hasn’t seen our dead ball kicks, I think he could add another 10 goals to the team just with his dead ball delivery,
11.) 30 Aug 2024 19:04:43
Forest should sell Elanga and be done with it, 35 million surely that’s a big enough profit. I want to see wingers at the club that pass to allow wood to score not themselves. I was more impressed by Jota and Sosa on Wednesday.
When HO and Elanga came on, we went backwards into our shell and unentertaining football. I really not a fan of either of them as were the two clubs they came from.
12.) 30 Aug 2024 19:29:27
Spot on stevie f mate ?.
13.) 30 Aug 2024 19:37:35
None of your hard earned cash is involved skeggs from your recliner
No club gets every transfer right
Just ask Chelsea.
14.) 30 Aug 2024 19:51:51
We're a laughing stock when it comes to low ball bids dtp and my hard earned cash went into that recliner so I could be comfy on match days best seat going ?.
15.) 30 Aug 2024 20:14:15
I think it would be healthy if we all accepted that not everyone can attend Forest games in person. I don't attend live games (as much as I would love to) - whilst I still hope to do so in the future, I'm realistic enough to know that travelling from Cornwall to the City Ground and back for me would be a challenge to say the least. I'm sure I'll do it eventually though.
Maybe be a bit more understanding of those that rely on 'dodgy firesticks and recliners' to follow our great club. You never know the circumstances behind those doing this.
16.) 30 Aug 2024 20:33:03
Great comment legless but wasted on some mate.
17.) 30 Aug 2024 20:54:31
Big difference between you legless and skeggs and balloons who just pull the club down, where as you don't
Makes no difference where you live just don't pull the club down when we are in the best possible place we've been in for 3 decades and think your funny aswell.
18.) 30 Aug 2024 21:03:11
Is that right dtp I pulled a manager down and was right you've done that plenty of times in the past you perfect person and what as any of that got to do with being able to get to games ?.
19.) 30 Aug 2024 21:21:54
I'd say ward prowse even on loan one of the best signings made since we came up
Goals assist n massive prem experience and know how,
20.) 30 Aug 2024 21:29:28
Skeggs you don't like the owner or anything else
Fawaz and doughty useless one a fridge magnet the other no ambition for the club
I had a go at chris hughton and put a banner up for the first time in my whole 67 years because we were heading to league one
Whereas you and your mate gave Cooper the hardest of tines for getting us promoted and then keeping us in the premier because you weren't being entertained enough from your recliner while watching from a firestick that cost next to nothing
Apparently it's all about banter not the word in front of it.
21.) 30 Aug 2024 22:14:26
Thanks DTP. I don't want to get into any debate about anyone else, but I appreciate your comment.
BTW, I've just been told off by Mrs Legless for my lack of self-belief in attending a Forest game. She's just pointed out, in no uncertain terms, that I've just climbed a mountain in a wheelchair - so I can get to Nottingham on a train! Cornish women scare me.
Bless her - she's looked into it for me and all I need is someone to volunteer as my 'companion' (PC doesn't allow the word 'helper' any more) to aid me into/ out of the ground. It'll be a freebie for anyone who acts as my companion.
I just need to get a ticket in the spaz-section now!
22.) 30 Aug 2024 22:31:41
Same old argument from you gets boring 79 after years I was proved right that's why the last manager was sacked and where have I mentioned the owner you just try and twist words pal ? and if any forest fan can say they where entertained by the last managers football there deluded it was boring defensive not got a clue what to do out of my depth football in the premier League in the championship he done a great job so did the great championship players we got rid of when we got to premier League that's what we should of done with him that's football mate anyway nice chat pal off to bed now got my recliner and stick ready for a comfy great game tomorrow hope you have a good day I will ?.
23.) 30 Aug 2024 22:55:55
Yep usual from you
You forgot what you said earlier about being a joke because we put in low bids because we don't really want to sign a striker?
24.) 30 Aug 2024 23:03:46
Did we put low bids in did we sign a striker did I call the owner case closed ? goodnight dtp.
25.) 30 Aug 2024 23:15:08
Oh your still up then?
We put bids in that we thought right and stuck to them
What did you expect?
One minute your on about us buying players for olympiacos and putting I'd in danger of breaking psr and the next minute wanting us to break the bank by signing a striker at any cost?
Just saying.
26.) 30 Aug 2024 23:21:16
Still up then?
You said we are a joke and it's there to read pal.
27.) 30 Aug 2024 23:52:09

29.) 31 Aug 2024 05:40:04
Wow. that's some slanging match there!
No offence DTP but I think you went ott personally and it seems you haven take thing's as an insult towards you.
Just take a step back and smile.
We're all fans on here with varied opinions.

4.) 20 Jul 2024 08:56:06
Well 79. If we manage to offload bang average Murrillo for 70 million just think of the quality of strikers we could buy. Then we could give it a real go. But I guarantee the top 6 won't touch him with a barge pole. I was right about Awoniyi and I'm right about Morillo. ?.
5.) 20 Jul 2024 09:20:14

He'd never make the journey Vale. it would be like the Forest game he was supposed attend. One bout of the sniffles and Uncle Albert is tucked up in bed with Pasty and a clotted cream butty. Ready for the order to re-engage ??.

You ask me at the start of the season it you remember Ruby, oops sorry I mean diamond. You said something like "in all honesty, no mickey taking, where do I think Forest will finish this season " and I said upper mid table if you remember.
