John Percy (who’s never wrong) reporting that Sanghere has signed a new contract. Details not specified but excellent news imo.
31 Jan 2025 19:55:25
I'm hearing rumours we've re signed Sam Surridge? Anybody else heard this or is it a windup?
I thought he did well for us by the way.
1.) 01 Feb 2025 01:26:44
Right now I'd take him over Taiwo and if Everton are serious about taking him off us its got to be win win.
23 May 2024 17:14:18
There's talk linking us with De Zerbi. So long as it's not his much less successful Championship brother De Derbi. ????.
14 Jan 2024 21:25:35
Paul Taylor of the Athletic says we are to be informed we are in breach of FFP tomorrow. He's not usually wrong. ???.

“The name of the club doesn't matter. Every club should be treated equally under the rules set out.
“But the elephant in the room isn't being addressed. 115 charges, zero action. Why? ”.

There's a cult developing In this fanbase. Some fans am have fallen for the clueless and wreckless owners nonesense about ambition while breaking rules he voted to make last year at the long term expenses of the club. Thankgod for ffp to protect the long term future of clubs from bad ownership. Show some real ambition Instead of being nodding dogs to mariankiss, he sells anyone good buys a team for the money he gets and says that ambition, the ground was announced five years ago nothing, we are a laughing stock under him. Get these out while we're prem and hope for proper owners from USA or suadi.
6.) 16 Jan 2024 18:27:39
My nonsense-meter is twitching!
Owners take a calculated risk to stay in the Prem. Get accused of being wreckless when it works. Fans like being in the Prem are called members of a cult.
The solution: Get owners like the ones at Man United (Glazers? ) or Man city (109 charges and run a country where women celebrate being ALLOWED to drive in 2018),
Forstphil, what team do you support?

I don't usually pay much credence to the comments of Jamie Carragher aka Spit the Punk Dog, but the NEP s reported conversation between him and SC is very interesting and worth a read. It's a good summation of SCs "nightmare"situation under Marinkinakos ( and presumably that situation will be continued under Nunez).
It would appear that SC had no idea of what players ( and in what numbers) would be arriving at the club, despite his oft repeated mantra that he, the owner and the recruitment team were all supposedly "reading off the same page"?
It might be a rare glimpse behind the scenes at our beloved club before the media gag is imposed as part of the terms of SCs payoff.
1.) 21 Dec 2023 12:21:52
Tough to see SC go and we have to remain positive about Nuno. Did a great job with Wolves so just got to see how the City ground welcomes him saturday.
Transfers wise, realistically, we sell McKenna and Worrall unless they are given a chance by Nuno. I think we cancel the loans for Montiel, Tavares, santos and origi - they have offered us nothing all season.
Maybe sell Boly as he hates Nuno from their time at wolves and maybe sell Felipe due to injuries (hard for me to say this) but he's a strong leader in the group.
We sign Nino from Fluminense (centre half linked with) and get Omobamidele involved more with 1st team squad
The midfield is sound and we cover - Yates and Mangala start.
We buy another winger who has PL experience to compete with Hudson-Odoi and Elanga (Sancho on loan but doubt that will happen! ) and then we buy a striker. Maybe try and get the lad Serhou Guirassy from Stuttgart for 17.5m release clause but he may go elsewhere. Keep Wood as a last minute backup ready for Awoniyi.
2.) 21 Dec 2023 14:12:18
I don't get why we keep going on about players coming in are not the managers choice, it been like that for years now thier is not one manager out their that has control over the players that come in.
A manager years ago would go and scout the player themselves and go back to the owner or chairman and say who they wanted, however we don't have managers anymore they are HEAD COACH who are just told to train the players and its done to the director or football who we bring in, and it's also a lot to do with agents who in my opinion have spoilt the game.
3.) 21 Dec 2023 15:14:21
Lower BC, that’s why we willl never attract any great coaches. Can you imagine Klopp, Pep or Arteta putting up with the interference like SC has had to? Hence, the merry go round of new appointments.
4.) 21 Dec 2023 18:12:51
Do you really think they have that much say on who comes in aswell, good example kelvin Philips great prospect went to man city and has sat on the bench, he was not peps choice of player and it shows pep didn't want him, arteta never wanted ramesdale his first choice was alway raya.
We won't attract no big coach at the moment due to not finishing high enough in the league and no European football.
Who is a top class coach you would like to see though being our head coach, for me I would like Marco rose.
{Ed001's Note - neither of those examples are true, both Pep and Arteta have full control of recruitment.}
5.) 21 Dec 2023 19:40:32
Thought so Ed1. What’s the recruitment agreement at Liverpool with Klopp?
{Ed001's Note - he has final say.}

Yesterday evening was probably the most one sided World Cup semi final I’ve ever watched. I’m surprised it finished only 2 nil, such was Spain’s dominance.
The French team looked as if they’d never met before, disjointed, missing their passing, no shots on target until near the end, Mbappe largely anonymous, out muscled all over the pitch.
Even the usually inspirational Deschamps sat down in his dug out for the last 25 minutes, muttering and baffled about what he was seeing and unable to do anything about it.
As has been mentioned on here, every side has a collapse in them, even the best and, let’s be fair, the French always have a capitulation in them as we know from history ….
As it was Bastille Day as well, it must have been particularly “Gaul ing” (you see what I did there) ?????.
As a footnote to Barry and Titchmarsh, I decided (quite reasonably I thought) to watch the game between the 2 best teams in the World rather than spend it posting.
I did, however, note this morning that you managed between you, to mention my name in vain on no fewer than 9 occasions during the course of the match.
Including dehydration breaks, the half time interval and injury time this is about once every 12 minutes.
May I take this opportunity to offer my deepest appreciation to you both for allowing me to live rent free in your heads………. ???.
1.) 15 Jul 2026 13:34:48
I was just replying to the 2 days you were commenting about me, Pan. ? So much for your 'best team in the world' prediction, France Stokie. Stick to your Beano and Dandys, mate, cause you know very little about football, mate. ?? And I take it you won't be watching England tonight, as you've said it's already fixed for Argies to win. ?
2.) 15 Jul 2026 13:39:04
Stokey, I don't know why people are surprised at Spain beating France. France have looked ok against mediocre opposition. Spain are the first top side they've run into, and it showed. Reigning European champions prove their worth.
3.) 15 Jul 2026 14:04:25
Barry, demonstrably wrong again, mate.
I have never "predicted" that France are the best team in the world. I just looked at their current FIFA ranking.
Check it out...
Or is it FIFA's stats that are faulty?
4.) 15 Jul 2026 14:11:17
Stevie, I wasn't so much surprised at the result, just how big the gap was between the sides currently ranked 1st and 2nd in the world, mate.
I suppose the way this tournament has been seeded, Spain have only really played 2nd or 3rd ranked teams up to now, like Austria and Portugal.
Apart from their draw at minnows Cape Verde first up, they have seemed comfortable, like France.
5.) 15 Jul 2026 14:29:12
You did say that pan. I have it in a written statement. But it's not surprising that you got it wrong again. ?
6.) 15 Jul 2026 14:47:34
France are (or were until last night anyway) the best team in the world, Barry, according to the FIFA world rankings.
Please feel free to produce any "written statements" you have in evidence, mate. I'm intrigued...... ??????
7.) 15 Jul 2026 15:04:05
Gaul-ing ?. Love it. Sadly, mate, you don't just live rent-free in their heads. I think it's becoming more so. If you start finding your tighty whiteys disappearing from the washing line, Titchmarsh is your man. If you start feeling you are being watched whilst on the bog, don't look down, Barry lurks down there. ???

Winter, Spain are the better side, Vierra needs to understand they are playing against quality now.
19.) 14 Jul 2026 21:06:41
Yeah im not disputing that, France have been terrible. What im disputing is VAR overturning an on field free kick, not a penalty, not a booking, a bog standard free kick. VAR isn't allowed to do that. That's my point. ?
20.) 14 Jul 2026 21:08:27
McCoist picked up on it, said they'd ask their ref expert, and it's not been mentioned since. Memo passed to them to shut up. ?

Ahh bless.
28.) 14 Jul 2026 21:41:42

1.) 14 Jul 2026 15:26:33
Stokey, Is there any reason they would favour the Argies?
2.) 14 Jul 2026 16:01:15
Nono, I believe Infantino and FIFA would want a South American team in the final against a European team for global popularity and viewing figures.
Hence the seeding of the 4 streams of the 4 best ranked teams, which have led (with some astute manipulation) to the 4 semi finalists we have for the first time ever in World Cup history, mate.
3.) 14 Jul 2026 16:02:44
Plus, Trump and Infantino have a definite fetish for the great players like Messi.
4.) 14 Jul 2026 20:59:45

13 Jul 2026 14:37:42
Had to laugh at this version of the famous Norwegian commentators blast from the 1980’s aimed at famous professional Scots who have supported England's opponents over the years…
Are you listening Sean Connery? (Lived in the Bahamas, Marbella and Nice).
Rod Stewart (lives in Hertfordshire and Los Angeles).
Nichola Sturgeon (lives in London).
Peter Murrell (still lives in Scotland at HMP Edinburgh).
Andy Murray (lives in USA).
The Proclaimers (if you walk 500 miles then 500 more in any direction you are out of Scotland).
Your boys took a hell of a beating.
A ha (for Rogie). ??????
13 Jul 2026 10:43:16
Just a thought….
This is the first time the top 4 ranked teams in the current world rankings have all reached the World Cup semi finals.
As the 4th ranked team, we are officially the underdogs. At least if we do go out at this stage, we have reached par for the course, an achievement in itself.
So, logically and statistically Skeggs, this is the time to put a bet on the opposition and try to recoup the money you’ve chucked away mate ??.
1.) 13 Jul 2026 12:33:09
Think you're right, Stokey. Everyone is saying France will win the cup. Now I'm not a betting man, I've never been in a bookies in my life, and my wages were too hard to earn just to hand them over to bookmakers. But if I was, I'd have a sneaky bet on Spain winning the cup.
2.) 13 Jul 2026 13:08:52
I think France will win the "Trophy" personally.
???
3.) 13 Jul 2026 14:18:19
How many times in past tournaments have we said 'don't write off Ze Germans'? They are usually efficient, doing just enough each game. Ringing any bells? In Tommy Turtle, we have a winner; barring international achievements, he is by far the most decorated of all the coaches left.
If we turn up Wednesday night with the attitude that it's a normal, run of the mill Premier League game, we'll run all over them. They are an aging side that, physically output-wise, are the poorest of the sides left. ?
4.) 13 Jul 2026 14:23:52
You three are very disloyal, as I hope you are all Englishmen. Seriously, I believe England will win the World Cup this year. We have 3 world class players in Bellingham, Kane and Anderson. Dare I say, Bellingham is on top of the world atm? We have not played any of these three recently under TT.
We will beat Argentina, having seen them play. France will beat Spain. All results depend on no gaffs! Whoever can call the final? For me, as a loyal subject, it will be England. They not only have star players, but team spirit and probably the best manager.
5.) 13 Jul 2026 14:27:32
The stadium in Atlanta has a roof and aircon, so there should be no climate problems. England have played at altitude, in heavy rain, and at 35 degrees of heat, so it makes a change.
6.) 13 Jul 2026 15:45:53
Yes, Nuno, I am British and in my post I made a clear opinion on betting and where the masses thought who would win the Trophy. I've said, at the beginning of the tournament, I wasn't bothered about it, and that is still my opinion.
I'm just glad that our Forest players have come back without any problems. As Forest supporters, we should be concentrating on next season and survival.
7.) 13 Jul 2026 15:53:15
Totally agree, Vale. Some fans on here have been pointing out it's fixed anyway, so I can't see why they're so bothered about it. Because if they're right, we will lose, and it's just daft to watch it if you think it's fixed.
8.) 13 Jul 2026 16:01:37
I'm with you, Nuno. ? Very disloyal from Rogie, in particular. ? ?
9.) 13 Jul 2026 20:47:18
Some posters on here seem to think Trump and Infantino didn't conspire to have the USA's top scorer's red card overturned too.
It's only a short hop to exert influence to have Quansah's ban doubled, isn't it?
I personally think FIFA will want a South American team in the final to play a European team for ratings globally.
I'm reminded of the story of the lady who was asked by a chap "Will you have sex with me for a million quid?"
The lady says, "Of course, for a million quid I'll do anything."
He says, "What if I offered you a fiver for sex?"
She says, "No, certainly not.
What sort of a girl do you think I am?"
The bloke replies, "Well, we've already established what sort of a girl you are. Now we're just haggling over the price." ???
FIFA under Infantino are a bit like that, imo. They'll do anything for a backhander, imo.
10.) 13 Jul 2026 21:08:08
And Rogie, was just a joke my friend. I bet you hate being tarred with the 'English man' brush lol.
Stokey, i have a feeling that Ufea will try and block Infantinos 64 team World Cup, heard they have already held meetings with IFAB.
Without European sides a World Cup would be, errr, a little like Skegs attempts at getting a rise out of us, empty, lacking and limp. ??
11.) 13 Jul 2026 21:33:35
Thanks, Stokie. I was going to count sheep to get some sleep, no need to now. ? No wonder everyone has disappeared over the last few days, you've sent them all to sleep. ???
12.) 13 Jul 2026 21:47:08
I'm amazed that a true Forest fan can't remember being denied a UEFA Cup Final due to corruption in 1984.
Remember Emilio Mouro, the ref bribed by Anderlecht chairman Vanden Stock to cheat Forest out of a final?
Anderlecht still have a stand named after their bent chairman to this day. UEFA did basically nowt when it came to light in 1997.
Mouro's bribe was £15 grand.
The stakes now are far, far greater, in the billions.
Of course the fact that Infantino is a protege of the illustrious Sepp Blatter and Trump is a multiple convicted fraudster has no bearing on my views.
Skeggs, you might as well have a kip, mate, for all the knowledge you have of what's going on in the world of football, mate...
13.) 13 Jul 2026 21:57:52
Anyone can also Google all of that, Stokey.
14.) 13 Jul 2026 23:01:55

I don't know who you were replying to there, Stokie, but it definitely wasn't me. 1 too many sherries, I think. Anyway, great night's sleep last night. I will, after, read your comments more often at bedtime. ?? Come on Spain. Spain to win on penalties.
18.) 14 Jul 2026 10:04:29

On an even lighter note, Gazzi Forest will have to pay out £2.5 million to UEFA in squad fines and a year's worth of VPs' wages. All chipping away at FFP resources. Good old Mr M. ?????
02 Jul 2026 13:05:51
Fair enough, but "long term" I have serious doubts about at our club. Hope I'm wrong, mate. I've been urging "Stability, stability and stability" for a long time now, and then Mr M pulls a stunt like this.
02 Jul 2026 10:18:49
In what way is it a cracking business, SY? It just tells me our Glorious Leader hasn't learnt his lesson, mate...
30 Jun 2026 08:25:32
Absolutely Gazzi, mate. It would be boring otherwise!
Good post, Cyclist! ??
29 Jun 2026 18:37:04
I think Jesus did very well for us, Gazzi. Much underrated in my opinion. Great work ethic, lots of energy, good finisher and a pain in the ass for defenders. Good in the air for a small man too. Did well in Europe and absolutely led crucial victories towards the end of the season against Sunderland and Chelsea, for example.
I'd keep him definitely.
