Are arsenal going to blow the title again?
I was talking to some after our game with them and they believed they would blow it as they always do?
Strange how fans can feel about their clubs?

Thing is munmad, the new coach has worked for marinakis before at olympiacos, so he knows what to expect and we could move to a back three as he's a more adaptable coach to different formations
Dyche had no plan on how to utilise the better players he's always wanted.

12 Feb 2026 21:24:10
Can’t play netz he’s not in the squad.

12 Feb 2026 21:54:45
Away in Istanbul? I'd definitely play Dominguez. We need to come back to the WFCG for the second leg still in the tie. We'll beat them at home if we aren't starting the second leg from behind.

12 Feb 2026 22:06:42
Lucca didn't fill me with confidence on that showing last night munmad and i'd put jesus in or awoniyi.

I just want to raise a couple of points Reds.

Firstly, I have turned against Big M as our owner. I feel that his impulsive, petulant and irrational behaviour has come to far outweigh the monetary benefits he brings to our Club. As Fawaz did, this man has single-handedly destroyed our good name throughout the football community. Frankly, I think that Big M has become an embarrassing liability to Nottingham Forest.

Before the 'be careful what you wish for' posts, I want you all to consider the following questions - do you want to maintain the status quo and for Forest to remain as a derided and disrespected club in the PL, playing 'survival football' whilst teetering on relegation? Or, would you prefer Forest taking a step back to the Championship, playing attractive football, respected and admired as a club run in a dignified manner with the correct ethos? And then re-launching as a 'proper' club again back into the PL? Think about it and whether it's now time for a change of ownership.

Secondly, everyone deserves to voice their own opinion on this site. Frankly, I was disgusted at so many posters on here jumping down Stokey's throat, often in a personnally-abusive manner, just because he offered a different view on SD. Everyone is entitled to their opinion Reds - remember that.

12 Feb 2026 20:20:50
Oh dear.

12 Feb 2026 20:32:10
In my previous post, I mentioned that I largely agree with your points Lego.
We cannot continue in this manner without a change in ownership. Otherwise, each time a coach does not meet the owner's expectations, the situation will repeat itself.
Marinakis bears full responsibility for this situation, which may necessitate a potential change in ownership.

The key question is whether he will accept responsibility and understand that his meddling and rash decisions have tarnished the respect of Forest as a Club.

12 Feb 2026 20:35:00
Explain why you disagree with me DTP.

12 Feb 2026 20:35:55
Let’s bow down to the few who talk down to us and ‘remember that’ 🤦
If you put yourself up there to be shot down, don’t cry when someone takes a pop shot - remember that fellow reds 🤔.

12 Feb 2026 20:38:09
Normally think your posts are spot on mate but that's a speech in reference to the stick your mate got for his literature essay last week

Can't seriously believe you'd rather be in the championship, attractive football? You watched any championship games lately.

12 Feb 2026 20:56:42
Totally agree with you RIR.

12 Feb 2026 21:00:27
If you don't like or appreciate what marinakis has done then you've forgotten 25 years lego mainly under doughty
He has taken us to the premier in five years and filled the city ground
Hes bought the freehold, something no other owner even attempted
Yes he's impatient, but if he'd of not spent, you'd be moaning we went straight backck down after one season
You've basically forgotten the state the club was in when he bought it
So jog on if you want a new owner.

12 Feb 2026 21:15:47
I think that you're missing my point Stripe.

Of course I'm sticking up for my mate. Not out of blind loyalty though - I think that Stokey talked a lot of sense about SD. OK I disagreed with him as I thought SD should only be given to the end of this season and Stokey thought SD should be given next season. However, Stokey didn't deserve to be shot-down as he was.

My previous post was a hypothetical question to try to get people thinking about the dire state of our club at the moment. However, I do believe you sometimes need to take a step backwards before taking two steps forwards.

12 Feb 2026 21:19:26
He hasn't bought the freehold yet, he's waiting for the planning permission to be approved.

12 Feb 2026 21:33:16
Are you sure about that redvale?

12 Feb 2026 21:36:53
The direct state?
Yellow you what there's a club 16 mikes down the A52 that would swop places.

12 Feb 2026 21:43:27
Marinakis has taken the club to the first promised land (Prem) and onto the next (Europe) given us the 13th most valuable squad in World football and you are against the owner.

And people say Forest fans are entitled!

🤣.

12 Feb 2026 21:56:55
DTP - no, you're wrong. As RV rightly says he has not bought the freehold yet. I don't think that even you can argue against that point.

How dare me for defying your wishes - but, yes DTP, I do want a new owner. Our great Club is screwed in every way with our current ownership and direction.

Jog on? Idiot.

12 Feb 2026 19:09:28
RUMOUR (TeamTalk) :

"Pereira, who kept Wolves in the Premier League last season before being dismissed in November, understands that his remit runs only until the end of the campaign.

Marinakis will reassess the managerial situation in the summer, with Fulham’s Marco Silva still viewed internally as the long-term target. "

12 Feb 2026 20:05:41
See my comment above in reply to Frogs post Cyclist. Coyr!

12 Feb 2026 20:34:20
Marinakis is delusional if he believes any coach of pedigree will come here?
Dumbfounded claim!

12 Feb 2026 21:04:24
Red in Ripley you’re giving football managers/ coaches too much credit, the bottom line is money, it soon sends principals and other concerns flying out of the window, they will come if the money is right, it’s a cut throat business, they all know the risks and rewards.

12 Feb 2026 21:06:00
Ripley, so what do you want?

12 Feb 2026 17:55:19
Just in relation to last night match….
Frustrating in the extreme. The last time I remember a game as one sided as this ending in a draw was donkeys years ago at Swansea, a nil nil where they gave us a football lesson, hit the woodwork several times etc.
Just one goal out of the 35 attempts with 10 on target would have got the points because Wolves had nothing going forward, just played 541. But, not to be. Sadly for Dyche.
The writing was on the wall from sections of the crowd and grumbling on the slow shuffle by the back of the Trent End. But I thought Dyche had enough credit in the bank from his record so far. A win would have put us 5 points clear and a good breathing space but narrow margins.
We are becoming a bit entitled as a fan base I think. We should stay humble and patient, like last season. Mr M has got us to this situation with his decisions involving Edu, Nuno and Postacoglau, plus th recruitment fiasco.


I always thought our “spine” needed to stay fit and lucky as they were under Nuno ( Sels, Murillo, Anderson, MGW and Wood) but 3 of the 5 injured and two out of form.
For all the criticism of Morato he did well last night ( against poor opposition) Hutch poor, Lucca likewise.
CHO, Aina, Williams huffed and puffed to no end result. Likewise MGW and Anderson who, between them, ran the midfield but were, in the end stifled and unproductive.
Wolves were atrocious but let’s not forget they dismantled West Ham a few weeks ago whilst last night the second worst team Burnley beat Palace who have spent a big wodge on Johnno and Larson but not much at the back to replace Guehi.
There are no guarantee wins in the Prem. We should remember that …….

12 Feb 2026 19:19:22
Well said Stokey.

12 Feb 2026 19:23:08
Well put stokey, I took heard the chants behind me in the upper Trent end, what people forget is this very situation we find ourselves in was debated on this very site at the beginning of the season. I believe people didn't expect it to materialize, but it has so we have two choices get behind the new coach or walk away. I'm not sure about the new man as I don't know enough about him other than what happened at wolves, and that's at best dismissal.

And for the owner to pull a number of senior players (who by the way probably won't be at the club come next August) to tell tails about the coaches is decetful and under hand. in my humble opinion should be ashamed of themselves.

12 Feb 2026 20:10:28
Entirely agree Vale mate. If it’s true I’ve added that stab in the back to the owners charge sheet. Disgraceful ( and will further deter any good future manager from having anything to do with us)

12 Feb 2026 20:27:31
Dyche had to go or we where certs to get relegated, what part of that don't some understand?

12 Feb 2026 20:51:10
Nobody is arguing that dyche shouldn't have gone, it's the way it was done. He said she said is no way for anyone to lose their job. Mr M was at the game and to the best of my knowledge he isn't blind, he also attends most games, so there was no reason to involve any of the players.

Please DTP don't try to create an argument where one isn't called for.

12 Feb 2026 21:07:20
He should have gone after Leeds display
Redvale its a site to discuss, not agree with everyone.

12 Feb 2026 21:33:39
I'm not arguing with anyone.

12 Feb 2026 16:37:14
I’m always saddened when we have to change managers/ coaches or whatever they are called these days. However after last nights game I couldn’t get my head around that performance, as we completely dominated the game, it was crying out for two up front, playing Lucca without any support and no service was a complete waste of time.

I will support the new manager, hope for the best and hope we get the best out of the squad talent we have. Onwards and upwards!

12 Feb 2026 18:14:39
I get your point about 2 up front SB, it was crying out for it. But when Lucca fired over that guilt edge chance, he had 4 other Forest players around him and just one defender to beat. Plenty of service then.

12 Feb 2026 20:30:52
The confidence had evaporated long ago with dyche repeatedly having a pop at the players
Let's see if new coach can instill some confidence in the players.

12 Feb 2026 14:59:19
pereira appointed.

12 Feb 2026 15:40:24
Pereira out 🤬.

12 Feb 2026 16:05:15
You really are a piece of work aren’t you what a wally fgs are you happy with anything

This fella is a good friend of your hero Nuno

Give the man a chance before you start dripping your poison Recliner Boy.

12 Feb 2026 16:22:02
Wow munmad, couldn't be more obvious he's taking the pi$$,

12 Feb 2026 16:35:24
That just about sums you up Balloons….

12 Feb 2026 16:37:29
It's obviously a joke in a banter site, MUNMAD. This isn't the "Serious Posts" page.

12 Feb 2026 16:41:08
Chill munmad thst me laugh, funny biglarry.

12 Feb 2026 16:52:17
Larry, give it a rest now!
Allow him the opportunity to get through door and see what he can do to salvage an important twelve game's!
At least show some humility towards him instead of the usual BS!

12 Feb 2026 16:53:01
About as funny as an orphanage on fire Balloons but if it keeps you happy mate …. 🙄🥱💤.

12 Feb 2026 16:55:31
No need to Chill Munmad.
As funny as Larry is he gets a little too carried away at time's.
And yes it is a Banter site however given the circumstances some decorum would not go amiss from time to time!

12 Feb 2026 17:10:06
Looks guys the money Marinakas has paid out in compo to duff managers, sacking them every 3 months. He could have poured that into one good manager and we could be sat top half. Just another sensible way if looking at it.

12 Feb 2026 19:11:46
More money thrown at Pereira. The truth is, unless Pereira wins every game in style, we get the Silva lining to the cloud at the end of the season anyway.

12 Feb 2026 19:43:03
Balloons you've really p****d off our resident happy clappers 🤣🤣 keep up the good work mate👍👍🌳.

12 Feb 2026 20:15:53
I don’t know about p’ssed off Red, Balloons and his gang are just boring and unfunny.
Also, Cyclist, do you really think Silva will have anything whatsoever to do with us at the end of the season ( or any other half decent manager ever). I guess a fool and his money are easily parted….

12 Feb 2026 21:46:25
Yes, if we stay up, I think Silva will come to Forest.
