The Glasner deal must have been sorted well before the end of the season because Vitor was told the club wold give him a much deserved new contract for this season. What a way to treat a top manager who had just saved us from relegation and got us playing good attacking football and scoring goals, remember them Reds, goals. Glasner nor any other manager was required because we had the best manager for many years already in place and raring to go this season.
Marinakis should put his hands up and admit what a giant booby he made, and an even bigger financial one. Just thought I would mention it, there is an excellent manager out there wanting a job in the prem right now, his name is Vitor Pereira. U REDS.

Spot on Retford ! Great post mate! ???.
19 Aug 2022 10:41:15
MGW official, signed on a 5 year contract. One goal and one assist in the prem. 25 million and up to 44 million. Wolves fans saying they have mugged Forest at that fee.
1.) 19 Aug 2022 11:31:28
It’s obscene money but there’s nothing we can do about that. He’s a good player who could become a great player so he has my full support.
And who cares what wolves fans are saying? ??♂️.
2.) 19 Aug 2022 13:14:13
Who cares what Wolves fans say?
We have watched Morgan come through the academy and develop into a top Championship player which is where Forest will be at the end of the season ?.
3.) 19 Aug 2022 14:01:27
We’ll see nunes-one thing Forest fans know is not to take anything for granted! Maybe you’ll soon understand that when you are back where you belong ??♂️.
4.) 19 Aug 2022 14:10:11
I thought you'd dodged a bullet.
It's got you right through the head.
5.) 19 Aug 2022 14:10:52
MGW knows what he needs to do to develop into a top player - he trusts cooper and cooper trusts him, we’ll have to wait and see what happens.
I’ll keep looking down the league table to see how you are doing ??.
6.) 19 Aug 2022 15:41:07
Did Nunes get lost or something posting on here, and why did he put a picture of a rat up?
07 Oct 2020 11:53:17
Real manager at last. This could be the big one we have all waited over twenty years for. Well done Marinakis, someone in who really knows what he is doing who I believe will deliver for our great club and its long suffering fans. U REDS.
1.) 07 Oct 2020 17:20:45
Spot on mate can’t believe there are still doubters and moaners. We all need to get behind the team and the management. Yes the owner has made some mistakes but he is clearly trying to put things right. Sabri did ok to start off and gave us a little hope. Now we have a good squad a very good experienced manager and a great chance to have a great season.
Keep the faith. COYR.
2.) 07 Oct 2020 22:57:00
Doubters?
Moaners?
Em?
Some would call realistic.
Im with you 100% if the owner was so sure then give him a 3 year deal and the time to get it right?
You should back your own judgement when in control of a buisness not just hire and fire.
3.) 08 Oct 2020 10:39:07
People were moaning before he had even had his first day in charge, is that realistic?
Have you considered Chris may have only wanted to sign a 1 year contract?
It's always the owners fault on here.
The guy has ploughed shed loads of money in when no-one else would and people seem to get off on knocking him at every opportunity.
If he were to drop and go we would be in big trouble. Let us hope we have the right manager and we are headed in the right direction.
4.) 08 Oct 2020 19:12:31
Ayup the clingon is here again🤣🤣🤣.
04 Oct 2020 10:24:00
Is Lamouchi still at Forest. Psycho got the boot for a lot less if you think back. Is Marinakis in denial about him? U REDS.
06 Aug 2019 16:38:57
The lunatics have taken over the asylum. Mendy a four goal a season striker now been chased as well as sheep gk Carson. Is this real or am I just having a bad dream. O my god.
1.) 06 Aug 2019 17:01:40
Retford. I've just woke up from the same bad dream.
There must be some sort of agenda going on here and i genuinely fear for this season.
2.) 06 Aug 2019 17:55:29
Retford as long as he puts a shift in he should be ok. be better than grabban then if he does a lot of running.
3.) 06 Aug 2019 20:10:35
Have we been taken over by closet Derby fans trying to destroy us? I can't believe their Forest fans.

Not been wise after the event, but I twice posted both my shock and disgust at the sacking of Vitor. The man saved us and given the chance he deserved would have taken us to greater things, I am convinced of that. But in comes Marinakis fourteen million pounds a season superstar.
Another massive mistake I fear that could well cost us our prem status. I am grateful to Mariakis for his huge financial input but his crazy sack mad ideas are ridiculous and do nothing to advance our great club. U REDS.
1.) 18 Oct 2026 21:09:09
Just thank your lucky stars we can afford such extravagance ?
05 Jul 2026 12:04:47
Just got back off holiday hence the late reaction to the sacking of Vitor Pereira. The best manager we have had for many many years, the man who saved our club from relegation. The man who almost won the Europa League but for a huge injury list. The man who brought the players and fans together to believe. The man who played attacking football to save us with a smile on his face. The man who gave us stability after the managerial circus we have just been through.
The promise of a deserved new contract, only to sacked by E-mail. For the first time ever in my sixty seven years of supporting Forest, I felt ashamed and disgusted of the club. I understand it is Marinakis' club and have always been grateful for his financial backing but the way he betrayed Vitor Pereira is dreadful. His own goals at the club are numerous, like four managers this season, but nothing compared to this. Shameful.
1.) 05 Jul 2026 12:21:32
I thoroughly agree with your post, Rutland. It's an absolute disgrace, mate. Mr M, as you say, has brought money to the club, but no stability and no class whatsoever.
2.) 05 Jul 2026 12:36:37
Sorry, Retford!
3.) 05 Jul 2026 12:38:20
It's about time fans realise that it's the Premier League, and it's a ruthless business where there's billions of pounds involved. Maranakis wants the club to be the best and be involved in the best competitions in Europe. It's his money and his business at the end of the day.
If you don't want to be involved in supporting a club that deals in the 100s of millions being spent, and you're not happy, do what Gazzi does, go and watch grassroot football. Simple, really.
4.) 05 Jul 2026 12:40:06
You know what, Retford, it's like we've won the jackpot with Pereira, then decided to stake it all on another roll of the dice. Stupidity doesn't begin to describe it imo.
5.) 05 Jul 2026 13:29:38
What I don't understand is why people on here are not allowed to criticise M without getting hassled themselves. It happens each time, pretty much.
How anyone can defend Mr M so completely, as many do on this site, I find odd. It is possible to support his investment (and be grateful for it), to like aspects of his passion, and to support his investment, but also be critical of him.
Myself, I hate how the club appears to be run, and how he brings it into disrepute (in my view).
No, we are not in the Championship or even League 1, but we've had 3 relegation scraps in 4 years despite huge investment and more managers than the Queen Vic.
So does his 'I'll do what I want' approach actually work? That's the intriguing question. Personally, having been promoted, I'm not sure it does, which is why, again, it's totally fine to be critical of him and the way he controls the club (and the way it appears to act). How they look like they treated VP is another example.
Let's see if it works. I'm not sure it will. Even if it does work, you can still not like the way things are done.
6.) 05 Jul 2026 13:46:12
I'm not defending Mr M. If you'd have read a post of mine the other day, I did say if he messes up with Glasner, then he's an idiot. But all the moaning and whinging fans are doing, for a bloke that's trying to get Forest to be a top 6 club is ridiculous.
It's like reading an article from Dear Deidre. I can understand if he sacked Pereira for someone like Dyche, but Glasner is one of the best managers in the Premier League, so stop your crying, please.
7.) 05 Jul 2026 14:00:28
All very heart wrenching, Retford, but he aint as good as Glasner. It's that simple.
8.) 05 Jul 2026 14:02:19
I don't think I'm crying, and your reply kind of makes my point for me.
This site has become somewhat poisonous and all the worst for it.
I've supported the club for 40 years but I'm leaving this site now.
I left it c10 years ago because it got like this, and it hasn't really changed.
Thank you to the Ed for his very hard work, it is appreciated.
Stay classy all and goodnight.
9.) 05 Jul 2026 14:28:19
Some fans don't half over react. Wow lol.
10.) 05 Jul 2026 14:31:47
And p.s the eds have made this site a lot more easier. If you don't like certain posters or there points of view just delete the poster.thats what eds done it for like I said sometimes it's like dear deidre
11.) 05 Jul 2026 15:07:26
You leaving, Agen, will be disastrous for this site, mate. Your posts, including the latest ones above, are brimful of common sense and wisdom. As always. I fully understand your reasoning... a sad loss, and I urge you to reconsider. ??
12.) 05 Jul 2026 15:28:19
Hey Stellaboy, that's what I've done. I've blocked you so I can't read what you put. ? You're right though, when we're away, I do go to some excellent non league matches.
13.) 05 Jul 2026 15:55:04
Thanks Gazzi, I thought about blocking everyone so I could just see my own comments, as I'm always right. ? But it will only let you go back a few. I might have a few runs up to Lincoln this season. 3 quid on the bus, plenty of cheap places to drink in Lincoln, and probably some good games to watch.
14.) 05 Jul 2026 16:03:32
It's a ridiculous statement about Vitor anyway. It's like. That Cortina I had served me well. Got me to Cornwall & back for 5 yrs, then the Mrs got rid & brought me a Mercedes, outrageous behaviour. ??♂️ ??
15.) 05 Jul 2026 16:49:34
Stellaboy, I recommend Lincoln United (Northern Premier League East) cracking little stadium. Tenner to get in, including a pint.
16.) 05 Jul 2026 16:25:38
What's your wife got to do with anything skeg?
I thought your deidre was out in the shed ironing your deckchairs or collecting donkey rubbish off the beach? ??
17.) 05 Jul 2026 17:00:11
Didn't thinkabout them.I will give it a try and see if I agree with you baldy ?
18.) 05 Jul 2026 17:23:08
Is this the Glasner whose side finished one place and one point above a side who struggled all season? Did a great job at Palace then didn't he? Pereira did us proud, and the way he got the bullet was disrespectful. Time will tell, but I ain't that keen on him.
19.) 05 Jul 2026 17:46:15
Spot on Perko, bud. ? Get your ass back on agen.
20.) 05 Jul 2026 17:59:23
That would be the Glasner that got Palace to win the FA Cup Charity Shield, then had his best players sold from under him. He stayed on a season, and still won them the Euro. He could have thought to himself, 'I don't give a crap.' So we will see, won't we.
21.) 05 Jul 2026 18:00:01
I've found something better to do. ????????
22.) 05 Jul 2026 18:03:19
As usual, a ridiculous statement Larry. That " Cortina" had got the fans and players onside, the team playing great football, ( sorry, actual stats again, lost on you I know) goals for and against, extrapolated over the season gets us a Champions League place, and Semi final of Europa despite injuries to key players.
Feel good factor up and running and then our Glorious Leader pulls a stunt like this and in a manner that abysmal.
I wish Glasner well and I support the incumbent Forest manager whoever is, but that " Cortina" has won more trophies than the "Mercedes" 8 v 6.
Own goal in my view.
And while I'm on, well done to Skeggs on losing the site an eminently sensible poster in Agen.
The Skegness attention seeking retarded knuckle draggers strike again. It's not as if either of you are Forest supporters is it?
23.) 05 Jul 2026 18:13:32
Stokey they reel you in everytime and your the one who thinks your intellegent? ??
24.) 05 Jul 2026 19:07:58
Look Jay, now listen here my donkey riding, waltzer boy friend, I don't like his hair do, I'm not that keen on his gormy face or sly looking smile and i really don't like the fogie clothes that he wears on match day. He's a gooch and that's that.
25.) 05 Jul 2026 19:22:59
In the words of Pete Tong, "we continue". ??
26.) 05 Jul 2026 19:25:04
DTP, I don't know where you get this "reel you in" from, mate. I love debunking myths and calling out foolish untruths. Or, even better, destroying untenable arguments with a few well chosen facts or stats. I'd do it all day, every day given the chance. It's what healthy debate is all about, isn't it?
27.) 05 Jul 2026 19:36:47
Gentleman, today I found the solution to watching late night games and not feeling touchy or bitchy the next day. Here's how it works.
1: Take the hound out on an epic Sunday walk across the moors, stretch those legs and get the kilometres in.
2: Put the F1 on with the intention of watching the whole race.
3: Nod off before the cars even make the grid.
4: Wake up at teatime, long after the race has finished.
5: Open that crate of beer and prepare the recliner for the next late rollacoaster ride.
28.) 05 Jul 2026 19:41:07
Don't confuse them with the facts, Perko. The knuckle draggers on the East Coast can't cope with that sort of stuff.
29.) 05 Jul 2026 19:49:18
Oi, im very much East Coast. ??
30.) 05 Jul 2026 19:51:10
Skegs, Palace sold 2 players Madike and Eze to Arsenal for a combined £115 million. They had to. Palace had to balance the books, and the players wanted to leave.
As I've said before, Glasner won the Conference, which I reckon I could have done with a Pork Butcher's eleven. He's still behind VP in terms of major trophies won.
Incidentally, he got Larsen and Johnson for a combined £70 million, which is about their true level.
I really hope OG does well and he hasn't just come to us in desperation because the big clubs Liverpool, Chelsea and Man City didn't fancy him.
31.) 05 Jul 2026 20:14:36
I'm sure he was really excited about their signings, especially Johnson. ?? And if he was after big bucks, he could have gone to Red Bull, where Klopp is leaving for a job at Germany. Who'd have thought it? A German manager going for the German job. I thought they might have gone for someone English, like Super Cooper. ???
26 Jun 2026 13:25:21
Good luck Elliot. I have been so impressed by you and I believe you are the best midfielder in the Prem. Man City are so lucky to have got in first, as there is so much more to come from you for sure for them and England.
Thank you. Just like to echo Red Frogs' words to Forest: not to blow it, average players like last season. Quality not quantity must be the priority from now on. U REDS.
1.) 26 Jun 2026 18:30:51
Managed to get back into the site today. Had to reverse my username, but I'm glad to be back. Sorry to see Anderson go, and I feel he will be sadly missed. I don't know who could take his place.
The young lad from Spurs is being mooted, but is still a bit of an unknown. Mr M needs to buy wisely, and bring in a player who can work with MGW and give confidence to the team.
2.) 26 Jun 2026 19:31:12
Welcome back, Red Rogie!
???
3.) 26 Jun 2026 20:29:32
Thanks, Rogie, much appreciated. I'd be very surprised if MGW and Murillo stayed. I just think they see what money Anderson will be getting and think "I like a piece of that".
{Ed001's Note - the 6m Anderson got as his cut of the transfer fee will be enticing too!}
4.) 26 Jun 2026 21:00:07
Really hope not, mate...
If that was the case, we'd be going backwards.
5.) 26 Jun 2026 21:02:51
Absolutely ed.
6.) 26 Jun 2026 21:49:55
Well, we started it off with Francis. Now Anderson. What a club, hey. We get to dizzy heights and outdo ourselves. We will now be paying over the odds for any half decent players. Think it will again come back to bite us in the arse.
7.) 26 Jun 2026 22:43:30
Spot on, Skeggs, everyone knows we've got the cash, so the price on any player we want will go higher than their worth. Pants down again!
8.) 27 Jun 2026 10:33:19
Don't say pants down with DTP lurking. ???
27 May 2026 10:01:31
Just like to do a little summary of our season. Chuffed for Neco's player of the season award, so consistent and determined and I am a big fan. I had him just behind Elliot Anderson and MGW though. I honestly believe Ando is the best all round midfielder in the prem.
Passing under pressure, most interceptions, area covered, always wanting the ball etc. MGW, who is a better attacking mid than him with 18 goals that kept us up. Shameful he is not in the England squad, Tuchel has lost the plot. Sangare, Serbinator, Murillo, Sels all had a very good season and even our other players have raised their games and contribution since the appointment of a certain Vitor Pereira.
Well done Big M for bringing him in when you did, brilliant appointment that keeps us in the prem. I have posted before about VP and I think we are very lucky to have such a top manager like him at Forest. Got everyone to believe in what was required and did it by being positive and attacking sides not just snatching a goal and defending. Best manager for many years. Well done Vitor. U REDS.
17 May 2026 15:50:13
Well fellow Reds, we don't have anything to fear next season under Vitor. Except clueless, gutless referees who dare not make the right decisions because they are homers. Even the VAR got it right. I can't think of a worst decision for a long, long time. I loved the way we kept battling in our new attacking formation and only got robbed by a cheat.
Looking very good for the future with a few quality signings. Anderson and MGW must be stuck on for the World Cup now. Let's finish off against our bogey side now with 3 points. U Reds.
1.) 17 May 2026 16:22:47
I haven't seen it yet.however if I do, I think I will smash something!
2.) 17 May 2026 17:19:47
I doubt MGW will be going to the World Cup, absolute travesty if he doesn't.
10 Mar 2017 16:35:03
Tomorrow, I would be tempted to go 4411 with Smith, Lichaj, Worrall, Fox, Pinnilos, Pereira, Mancienne, Cohen, Traore, Clough, Brereton. Subs McCormack, Osbourne, Cash, Caryol, Assambalonga, Mills, Evtimov. Pereira and Traore both named as fullbacks but I think both are good at getting forward but still have that defensive side when needed. Gboly Ariyibi would be my wild card pick as what I have seen of him he looks very good. And it could be Vaughan instead of either Cash or Caryol if you need to go for a stronger defensive squad.
14 Jan 2017 12:58:34
If Forest loose at Brum I think Jack Lester will be put in charge as caretaker. I think he would do a good job and even land it full time. Would make sense as the queue for new manager won't be very long I fear. He knows and values the youngsters and would provide the team with shape and motivation.
23 Jun 2022 13:14:03
Rooneys offered to drive to save money and Asda are paying for the diesel.
08 Mar 2022 11:54:03
Good post MUNMAD7980, Just thinking the same, Surridge and Davies would be awesome, I hope Coops is thinking along those lines to. That pairing could get us to the promised land. Horvath is without any doubt the best keeper at the club and as been impressive. Another great show from Forest against a side unbeaten in eighteen. Still have to pinch myself to realise all this is really happening after the hopeless time under Hughton and that run of defeats and been rock bottom of the league. Never been more excited and proud of my team since the late seventies and early eighties when I was at places like Munich and Madrid to name just two. Oh, and didn't we put a team called Liverpool or something like that who were the holders out of the European Cup. U REDS.
06 Mar 2019 19:39:45
Does that mean my old 888 shirt will be back as our new sponsor. Hope so as its one of the best shirts we have had. U REDS.
16 Jan 2019 21:36:47
Really good post Carlo. Getting back to the all important basics really and getting our club performing well again after twenty years in the wilderness. The club thanks to our Greek friend is in the best shape it as been for years and if MON can provide the final piece in the jigsaw it would be absolutley fantastic for all of our supporters to finally see it come good. The final sentence , last chance for some of us oldies made me think that could include me to, sixty years a fan this year. Started with Jack Burkitt lifting the FA cup in 1959 and to get back in the top flight after such a long absence would be amazing.
19 Jan 2018 16:55:33
Rodwell on sixty grand a week. Enough said I think Bosun.
