Some whispers coming out of the camp. It’s really not good. Over training, differences of opinion, players running until they are exhausted. Calling out of tactics, senior players not really onboard.
Player disharmony is catastrophic for any club, but I understand it did seem like players v management rather than players against players.
Massive mistake IMO to appoint Dyche in first place, his brand of football isn’t to my liking.
Sadly looks like it’s Periera - the guy who couldn’t win a game for wolves this season. If it’s him he will relegate two clubs in the same season. Unbelievable.
1.) 12 Feb 2026 16:26:33
Can you name the source of these alleged “whispers” Frog or are they just careless ( and baseless)?
2.) 12 Feb 2026 19:46:36
Stokey its been all over the radio this afternoon, no need to have a dig due to the content not following the happy clapper mentality. ?.
3.) 12 Feb 2026 20:56:16
Just curious mate. Which radio channel? I’ve been following the story in the media, not heard such rumours on the radio. BBC Five live sport and my daughter has Radio Nottm?
4.) 12 Feb 2026 21:30:44
Talksport. ?.
5.) 13 Feb 2026 07:44:42
Thank you ?.
6.) 13 Feb 2026 10:05:28
Apparently 5 senior players were asked to meet with Mr M after the game, the meeting took a couple of hours then Mr M called Dyche back to sack him. ?.
7.) 13 Feb 2026 14:03:28
Yeh like I’m making it all up Stokey ?
I made the post before this was common knowledge so perhaps an apology eh?
8.) 13 Feb 2026 14:46:06
Sources inside the club were apparently saying this last week. This is according to folks like Wolfie on FFTV and the Athletic who do have contacts in there.
9.) 13 Feb 2026 14:52:38
Ever seen a pig fly? ?.
10.) 13 Feb 2026 16:17:42
I’m not apologising for seeking clarification. Touchy or what? Talksport, “Wolfie from FFTV” are still a bit nebulous to my mind. I generally rate the Athletic because I have a Liverpool contact there ( Simon Hughes ) a brother in law.
I’ll be amazed if the story is true and substantiated. It’s not our owners style and I’d love to know the 5 alleged backstabbers.
11.) 13 Feb 2026 20:08:13
I can name a couple of back stabbers on here.
Just saying and thanks for the non apology. Your a class act.
12.) 13 Feb 2026 20:46:06
There's some glory hunters on here aswell that turn their backs on the club when results aren't good.
13.) 13 Feb 2026 21:48:54
Frog, mate, you forget I’ve had 30 years in an evidence based Police career. I’ve spent a big chunk of it in numerous meetings with CPS barristers and solicitors all over the country including, on many occasions, the Inns of Court in London on whether the evidence obtained is sufficient to secure charging and the prospect of conviction.
Your post is interesting as is the media discussion but I can hear a senior barrister saying…
Were you present at the meeting Mr M allegedly had with several senior players?
Do you know or have any record from anyone present at the meeting as to what was discussed or said?
Has anyone even admitted such a meeting even took place? Or given an account of what was discussed?
In conclusion, if not, it’s hearsay and gossip, perfect on a Rumours and media website but no where enough to proceed
Sorry, but that’s how it is and how I roll.
I will, of course, apologise if any solid evidence emerges to confirm the story
Or.
14.) 13 Feb 2026 22:40:12
No one will know what really happened
But putting it simply, marinakis wasn't impressed with the performance against Palace Leeds and wolves and neither was i or the vast majority of supporters?
So whoever he chose to speak to player wise is irrelevant
He obviously wanted to hear from a players point of view, but in reality had decided to axe dyche anyway and rightly so.
15.) 13 Feb 2026 23:18:57
Tbh I've only had one court case and I won, hear say is irrelevant as its not possible to prove
Its al about actually facts and evidence?
Short statement but true.
16.) 13 Feb 2026 23:21:51
High horse or what? ? Stokey get a grip, that ginger boyfriend of yours has gone. Remind me of something, is this not the "rumours" section of the site? The key word is in its name "rumour". Journalists whispers and usually total crap but sometimes there's substance. ?.
17.) 14 Feb 2026 08:45:45
Red Robin, that’s exactly what I said “perfect on a rumours or social media website “. I’m sure some on here can’t be bothered to read the whole post…. understandably perhaps ?
DTP exactly. Hearsay and gossip don’t mean jack ?. I think I only lost one case at Court in 30 years where I was OIC. And that was when the main witness bottled out….
18.) 14 Feb 2026 12:46:52
Honestly Stokey i read the first few lines then scan over the context. ? ?.
19.) 14 Feb 2026 15:20:17
Again, that’s why I used the word “understandably” mate! ??.
20.) 16 Feb 2026 21:09:41
If it's true, then they aren't backstabbers. It was 5 employees being asked by the owner a question and answering it. Dyche was useless.
27 Jan 2026 17:31:36
Looks like we have made enquiries about Lewis Dunk! Plus have an offer in for Mateta- at least with Luiz going the treatment room will be thankful.
1.) 28 Jan 2026 22:41:22
Dyche and dunk ball?
Why do we need a cart horse like dunk?
02 Jan 2024 20:11:37
Worrying reports tonight that the Premier League are looking at us over financial fair play. Shame given some of the dross we have paid out for -I know we sold Johnson but it could be a serious matter for us.
1.) 03 Jan 2024 06:51:49
They may stop us getting anymore players, which is not such a bad thing?.
2.) 03 Jan 2024 07:54:37
The Premier League will take Chelsea's and City's points deduction and give it to us and the Toffee's.
3.) 03 Jan 2024 09:29:07
Could effect a potential Navas loan?
4.) 03 Jan 2024 11:54:34
The PL is looking at everyone, it's the annual check of club accounts and we (and every other club) will find out if we've been good boys or not on 14th January. It's only the press that are targetting Forest as 'most likely', no the PL.
5.) 03 Jan 2024 14:08:01
I think we'll probably be OK:-
A few points.
We spent around 85m on wages last season; this excludes any income we received from players going out on loan.
Our liability on amortised transfer fees for last season was around 50m, you can add another 5m on top of that for loan fees.
That comes to around 140m
Our earnings from the PL will be a minimum of 114m
Our earnings from gate receipts will be around 30m, with another couple of million for the cup run.
We should have cleared another 5m from commercial rights and another 2m for additional corporate earnings.
I would guess that our earnings will be at least 150m - that would give a 30m margin of error - 10m plus the 20m we are allowed to lose
The Premier League allows any losses directly caused by the c.v. to be discounted from FFP calculations. Forest have previously said that the adverse impact of c.v. was £16.7million across 2019-20 and 2020-21.
Where we do have a problem is promotion bonuses for the year we went up. We didn't budget for these, so probably went outside the limit that season. Will we be sanctioned for that? If so, I'd say it is unlikely to be a 10 point deduction effectively for getting promoted unexpectedly.
6.) 03 Jan 2024 15:10:47
Interesting analysis RC. I've read that our championship losses used up our 'allowance'. £13 million per season and £35 million for first PL season, we overspent by £61 million before promotion.
Crux will be, what have we spent and generated in our first season back?
It would appear we're not allowed any losses, so BJ sale could be crucial. I like Forest in the news but prefer if it was footballing issues.
7.) 03 Jan 2024 22:31:21
Brennan Johnson transfer fee was 'pure profit'. Which apparently is quite important when factored into FFP. Not totally sure, though, as I've not really looked into that side of it all.
8.) 04 Jan 2024 08:44:55
Accounts for 2022/ 23 ended June, Johnson was sold in September so won't be included in the accounts.
Forest will argue they kept him beyond June to claim an extra £10m+ on his transfer fee.
Think it's going to be tight. Hopefully Big M has a few contacts.
9.) 04 Jan 2024 16:48:39
Steve, the big man does have contacts but unfortunately they’re all in Greece mate! ??.
10.) 08 Jan 2024 17:07:18
Eric Dier offered to Forest on loan apparently. sounds like rubbish to me!
14 Jun 2023 17:42:55
Brentford bid 30 million for Johnson.
Dream on.
Who’s been smoking the crack pipe down in London? Obviously we rejected out of hand.
1.) 14 Jun 2023 19:19:09
Has to be untouchable this window.
2.) 14 Jun 2023 22:11:23
Ivan Toney bet on us keeping him so must be good.
3.) 17 Jun 2023 10:25:44
He will want another year with us at least to establish himself as a top striker.
16 Apr 2023 13:31:07
Well I’m in the boozer before kick off. Big rumours that Steven Gerard will be at the City Ground today. So keep your eyes out folks ?.
1.) 16 Apr 2023 14:03:55
More likely to be keeping an eye on parked cars for a few quid than anything else.
2.) 16 Apr 2023 14:14:02
I don’t think a young inexperienced manager such as Gerrard or Viera have any chance of saving Forest, infact it’s frying pan into the fire. Who did Crystal Palace replace Viera with a 70 yr old. We would be better with a Sam A, Harry, or Benitez.
3.) 16 Apr 2023 14:29:11
Sacking Vieira worked for palace as they brought in a manger who knows the club and players. Sacking the manager hasn't helped southampton or Leicester.
4.) 16 Apr 2023 16:30:00
'arry has sunk every club he's been to!

Hope wet sham put a strong FA Cup team out and suffer some injuries. We've been without our main striker nearly all season - about time Leeds and the hammers suffered the same.
1.) 09 Mar 2026 20:02:18
Good game so far frog, very watchable. ?
07 Mar 2026 14:04:23
Was it summat I said? ?.
1.) 07 Mar 2026 15:46:56
Froggy mate, I am done, but come on here to apologise to everyone. Yup I've been a total prick. Obviously Friday. But start a bit earlier as the yank away. No excuses. Jekyle and Hyde that damned drink.
Does become a closer friend. No excuses. In fact not even going to read down. The skegs reminded me this morning. Anyway I really do apologise to all and eds. FTID. Take care. sorry froggy, winter etc. from what I hear.
2.) 07 Mar 2026 17:29:50
Bowie, mate, just carry on as normal - posters like you are the heartbeat of the site.
3.) 07 Mar 2026 17:35:33
Taking a line from the Pretenders "Nothing you confess, will make us like you less"...
Just stay mate.
4.) 07 Mar 2026 17:52:12
Stop being a tart, Bowie, just avoid coming on here late night on Fridays, simples. Although, personally, I love the entertainment value. ??
5.) 07 Mar 2026 18:39:56
You are a naughty Geordie boy. ?? What you apologised for, you really didn't listen to me when I said you told everyone they're losers. Fancy telling me you darent look. ??? I couldn't help myself, sorry pal, I'm laughing my head off. Made my day. ??
06 Mar 2026 21:31:33
Shout out to RedRobinHood, absolutely nailed it.
Been too many this season not wearing the shirt properly.
1.) 06 Mar 2026 21:56:23
ffs, am I invisible, give up on here, oi, one at a time. I really am done. Just had enough banging my head. Nah, I'm done.
2.) 06 Mar 2026 23:17:52
Bowie, calm down, my friend. I know that it's Friday night and you have had a couple of sips of the naughty stuff. However, keep things in perspective, mucker.
3.) 06 Mar 2026 23:56:08
Bowie, chill mate. Whilst I appreciate the praise, Frog, I was just stating the obvious. If 90% of our players turned up week in, week out, I doubt we'd be on manager no.4 this season. It's pretty obvious to see.
Although it's been p**s poor this season, there is still time to improve. Let's just hope Spurs don't sack Tudor, because their bunch of overpaid, spoilt brats really don't want to turn up for him. ?
4.) 07 Mar 2026 06:41:14
Come on, Bowie, mate!
As Dely Boy said, "Ya know it makes sense!!!".
???.
5.) 07 Mar 2026 06:48:23
Bowie, this one will get you back!!
A horse is sitting in a bar, and a donkey walks in, so the horse says, "See all those pictures around here? Those are of me winning The National, that one's me winning The Gold Cup, that one is me winning Cheltenham." So they both get pissed, and the donkey says, "Look at that one?"
The horse says, "The zebra???"
The donkey says, "Yes!! That's me playing for Juventus!!!!".

Watching The Big Match Revisited...
Arsenal v Forest 1977 (Yes, the Kenny Burns headbutting one)....
So, he's chopping all around him...until he gives away a blatant penalty, upending Stapleton for the umpteenth time...
As the yellow card comes out, he looks up at it forlornly, as it's raised above his head!!!
Classic Kenny!!!.

Would have thought that he's long enough in the tooth to know how life works. You come up with an idea, then someone far younger and sexier comes along and steals all your thunder, taking all the credit in the process. ??
11.) 07 Mar 2026 10:59:00
Just caught up with the above. Bowie, come on, big man, we need your unique and passionate views on here, Big Man. Worldly wisdom delivered in genuine Geordie Old English! Be a hero, but for more than just one day, mate! ??

13.) 07 Mar 2026 14:43:32
Hey Rogie, I wouldn't want to be "saddled" with the responsibility for those jokes, mate. But don't "bridle" at my comment, as I tend to use a "carrot and stick" approach, especially as it's "the final post". ? ? ? ?

VAR utter joke at spurs.
1.) 05 Mar 2026 20:59:16
Nah, it's brilliant. ? Talk about bottling it. Spurs collapse is on. ??
2.) 05 Mar 2026 21:07:08
Don't get me wrong, I'm pleased Spurs are losing, but honestly, someone's nose is offside?. ??
Plus, Gray clearly handled in the box at a corner - again, VAR never saw anything. Spurs should be 4-1 down at halftime, I don't believe that disallowed goal was offside.
3.) 06 Mar 2026 12:47:22
Frog, there's a great article by Tony Pulis on VAR on the BBC football website. Says it all about what a mess it's become. And what the answers are... Worth a read.
4.) 06 Mar 2026 14:35:14
Funny enough, Stokey, mate, just read it - what a well thought out article it is as well. I always respected Pulis - a proper old school manager. I don't know about you, but I feel with VAR that anytime we score, especially against the bigger clubs, they check any and every detail to find a way of disallowing the goal.
Perhaps that's just my perspective, but some of the decisions recently have been atrocious.
5.) 07 Mar 2026 00:23:34
RedFrog, you're going to see a lot of that with VAR and Spurs, mate. The powers that be are going to be doing everything they can to keep one of their cartel / Sky 6 in the Premier League. VAR will be giving them everything.
05 Mar 2026 08:19:12
Looking at the table I think you could need 45 points this season to stay up. It's absolutely crazy, just hope it's spurs or West Ham and not us!
Well played last night lads, not often I have said that this season. We need to keep the first team as fit as possible because it's obvious the £180m crew aren't up to the task
COYR.
1.) 05 Mar 2026 10:30:10
Red Frog, no chance. 38 will be enough.
13 Feb 2026 20:08:13

I made the post before this was common knowledge so perhaps an apology eh?
11 Jan 2026 16:45:17
If Edu has anything to do with it he’s probably got one leg to stand on, no pace and a bad attitude to training.
24 Dec 2024 20:15:34
Err no thanks. He turned us down before. Why bother calling z he’s just not worth it.
22 May 2024 20:47:46
Well if he does go we will get some compensation. Skegs can be our next manager from the luxury of his seaside recliner. How ya fixed Skegs? ?.

05 Mar 2026 08:16:53
Can never fault the lads' graft - I totally agree. Just wish he could score a few more - if he could, we would have a real player on our hands. He can't be a Brazil full international for no reason at all?
05 Mar 2026 04:49:03
Gazzi, you know me. ?
Was a superb result, we battled to a man. Just hope we take this forward - no use standing up to Man City in their own back yard, then meekly surrender to Fulham next game. West Ham playing well, all over to Spurs now to see how they respond.
