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.

12 Feb 2026 14:17:15
Steve Cooper?

12 Feb 2026 15:09:19
For God's sake move on. No wonder we're fighting for relegation.

12 Feb 2026 15:47:26
Steve Cooper! ????.
Would prefer Cooperman!

12 Feb 2026 16:55:58
SC is another one sacked before his time by our Glorious leader ……disadvantaged by stupid recruitment amongst many other burdens imposed by him. Does anyone see a pattern emerging here? …….

12 Feb 2026 17:53:15
"Fighting for relegation? "
????
Maybe you are!
????.

12 Feb 2026 17:55:52
Marinakis's actions often put him at odds with himself, exhibiting both positive and negative traits. While he may possess some redeeming qualities, his behavior frequently leads to significant negative consequences.
Given his current leadership, it seems unlikely that things will improve. His policies are likely to contribute to the Kingdom's downfall.
Rome was not built in a day! ??.

12 Feb 2026 13:10:17
This is why Bowie hates the premier league's greed and corruption and all it stands for. A 4th rate footballer and serial failure at every level of management leaves Foreat a multi millionaire.

He never needs to work again and probably never will anyway. On top of that we are being linked with every loser and serial failure the dole office has to offer up as a replacement. Marinakas is a nut job.

12 Feb 2026 15:38:30
We would t have a club without him Recliner Boy.

12 Feb 2026 16:23:41
And that's just woan and stone larry. ?.

12 Feb 2026 16:34:36
Serial failure Larry? Kept little Burnley in the Premier League for the best part of a. decade ( and even got them into Europe) and kept points deducted and cash strapped Everton up?
What’s 4th rate footballer got to do with it? That puts him in the same bracket as Morhino, Klopp, Slot, Tuchel who playing careers were mediocre to say the least.

He certainly didn’t make his millions playing for Chesterfield and Watford.
Plus, he deserves his payoff because he’s saved his previous owners loadsamoney. Or is it Dyches fault the owner prematurely pulled the trigger?
One of the daftest posts I’ve ever read ( from a long list in your case ) ….

12 Feb 2026 18:02:45
That's a good laugh. Bowie hates greed and corruption but he's in love with TACO Trumputin who's one of the most corrupt president's in US history. Lining his pockets with money that should be going into the country and stealing oil and money from Venezuela. Comedy gold.

12 Feb 2026 13:05:45
Seems that a meeting took place between the owner and 5 senior players after the Wolves game the upshot of which resulted in Dyche being called back to the club at midnight to be sacked

They obviously threw him under the bus!

Ok maybe needed to go but it’s those same players who fired blanks against Wolves maybe they need to take a long hard look at themselves in the mirror this morning

As at least two of these players will definitely not be at Forest next season wether we stay up or not.

12 Feb 2026 15:15:16
I'd have told Marinakas to shove it if he phoned me up at midnight. " just got into bed fatso with a greasy donor and counting my free money " ?
What did he think he called him in for a Gyros and Ouzo party to celebrate a hard fought point. ?.

12 Feb 2026 15:36:13
It’s not funny that a man has lost his job.

12 Feb 2026 16:25:01
Well he's laughing all the way to a pension munmad.

12 Feb 2026 16:38:32
What do you expect Munmad? Par for the course mate from that particular poster ….

12 Feb 2026 20:17:00
Blarry's gone fat on fat!

12 Feb 2026 12:58:43
Bakwa McAtee and Cunha will be given a chance now Dyche has gone McAtee had his best game against Ferenvacos then was dropped Bakwa comes on for 3 minutes!

Cunha has to be a better player than Morato or Abbott

Don’t forget McAtee and Bakwa were wanted by top clubs in Europe so they cannot just be written off

Look at the mistake we made with Loic Bade not good enough for us now rated one of the best C s in Europe let’s give these players a chance.

12 Feb 2026 15:50:32
Morato and the other Brazilians might do better under a dual Portuguese/ English speaker too.

12 Feb 2026 12:52:41
As the usual suspects insist on using my name in vain, I feel obliged to make a reply.
Firstly, I m amazed at how personal the difference of opinion over Dyche has become. I ve said in an earlier post, some people on here are like bald men arguing over a comb. I’m not Marinkinakos and neither are you. Our views are largely irrelevant. The Greek giveth and the Greek taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Greek.
Secondly, Larry Balloons I’m sickened by your immature, childish jubilation over Dyches sacking, as I’m sure many on this site are too. It’s a disaster and a humiliation for the club. One might even start to think, by revelling in Forest’s misfortune, you are not a true supporter at all………??
Cyclist, I’m glad you have taken the trouble to quote my view because I’m right. It hasn’t aged at all. In the short term our owner has probably thrown away the best chance of us staying up this season and in the long term, I hold to my opinion that no manager should be sacked until he’s had at least 2 transfer windows and a pre season ( longer ideally) to mold his squad.

Apart from the 3 last minute emergency loans to cover injuries in key positions he’s had neither. Also in the long term, we will never attract any even half decent managers to our basket case of a club. However, I hope you enjoy the forthcoming downward spiral. I won’t.
Secondly, Dyches record in the Premiership was played 18, won 6, lost 8, drawn 4, points 22.
Nick Mashiter of the BBC has worked out that if Dyche had taken over with this record at the start of the season we’d be in 12 th place comfortably mid table ( again as I predicted)
For the record 1 defeat in the last 6, Europa 4 wins, 1 draw, 1 defeat.
Apart from the unwonted record of a 4th manager in a season, it must be fairly unusual to sack a manager a week after being nominated for Manager of the Month.
Statistically, his win ratio was second only to Cloughies.
Dreyfus, for the future, you have your wish mate. What next? The loser Perriera from wolves or the loser Frank from Spurs? Because, as I said earlier, no half decent manager would touch us with a barge pole.
I rest my case…. enjoy ??????????.

12 Feb 2026 13:53:10
Wasn’t nuno ‘ a loser “ from spurs.

12 Feb 2026 13:54:56
Went on a bit but agree with that been saying be careful what you wish for Dyche has good knowledge of the Premier league, he's a troubleshooter and reads the game well he has weaknesses but who hasn't he would have kept us up maybe Now who knows.

MrM could have moved him on later. We will see what the player's are made of now no excuses it's down to them if we go down.

12 Feb 2026 14:06:45
Yep ……when a loser meets some bottlers. i could write a soliloquy on the assertion I made about the players - who bottled it once again last night - I won’t though because it’s all opinions and as you rightly say, on this site - especially at the minute - the victorious opinion is a pyrrhic victory at best …….

12 Feb 2026 15:24:03
I'm only happy because we've sacked a manager that should have never been anywhere near the club in the first place. A new decent appointment gets 13 games, Europe and a pre season to shape the squad.

Read on Stokie 90% of posters are happy too. Your just miffed because I was right and you was wrong, i did try to warn you except it and move on.

12 Feb 2026 16:49:04
We’ ll see at the end of the season who’s wrong and who’s right Balloons. At the moment ( and I hope I’m wrong) I think our owner has just condemned us to certain relegation.


I don’t know where you get your 90% from. I don’t care anyway. As I’ve said before, I’m not standing for election and I’d rather be unfashionable and right than “funky” and wrong.

12 Feb 2026 17:01:44
Stevie, Nuno had good success at Wolves and speaking from memory only had a few months at Spurs so we will never find out whether he was a loser there or not.
I like to think Spurs loss was our gain. Mr M should have nurtured and supported Nuno by sacking Edu and helping our then manager flourish.

Rather like the Forest hierarchy back in the day supported and nurtured a certain “loser “ from Leeds called Brian Clough …….

12 Feb 2026 12:24:24
Vito Perreira is an excellent man manager and motivator I think he will give us the new manager bounce like he did at Wolves

The reason he failed at Wolves the next season because they sold all his best players and didn’t replace them.

People are not going to be queuing up to join us and I think he can do a job, his style of play suits us quick transitions playing a counter attacking style with width and full backs pushing forward

He has never had such a talented squad at his disposal let’s give him a chance

He is also a big admirer of Nuno who none of us wanted to go.

12 Feb 2026 13:14:57
I agree, people have already wrote him off, however he’s a decent manager in my view and I would be happy if he joins the club.

12 Feb 2026 12:15:32
If Peirera/ Frank/ Glasner becomes manager we are indeed doomed. What about Andy Reid as a stop-gap?

12 Feb 2026 14:07:45
Why?

No.

12 Feb 2026 15:26:04
Andy Reid wouldn't get through the gap with his gut ?? Just forgetv ex players it's failed every time. That's why we are in this mess.

12 Feb 2026 10:20:18
Well Mr M.
You don't half know how to make history.
For all the wrong reasons.
This seasons debacle is all your meddling doing.
Thank you so much.

12 Feb 2026 10:51:50
"You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince. "

12 Feb 2026 10:56:23
Lot of media, pundits and pros deriding this as an awful decision. Say we will suffer against 'LiverCity'. Why is this site presenting opinions which go against that! Who is right then?
After the last two games we look awful, redundant and lost! Thought on balance it was the right decision, but this time of the season-not so sure.

Just worried now. How will the players get their head round this!

12 Feb 2026 11:44:54
At this point I'd rather see a great motivator in the door over a tactical genius, someone that can relate and get the lads playing for the shirt. We have enough quality in there but need someone who can get a bit of confidence back into them. ?.

12 Feb 2026 12:22:10
It's not about the players, we have very good ones. It's about the Boss's vanity, narcissm, braggadocio and self-image. He can't trust anyone, craves success but is not patient enough to build the right foundations because of his personality clashes. Nor will he give power to any coach, so we are stuck in no-man's land as the Club sinks into the waiting abyss we all know is there.


It's sad to watch. I asked a mate who supports United why Carrick has done so well and he says "He's simplified everything. "
Gone are the days when a Club Manager actually managed the place.

12 Feb 2026 17:03:46
Great post Bse mate! Perfect! ??????.

12 Feb 2026 10:13:26
Frank permanently or Pereira until the end of the season.

Frank did play counter attacking at Brentford if we think we have the players to do that.

12 Feb 2026 11:12:57
Why would Thomas Frank come to Forest? Zero chance.

You are delighted Dyche has gone. Well, get ready to welcome Pereira with open arms. The club appears in total chaos.

12 Feb 2026 12:22:52
Pereira a walking disaster area.

12 Feb 2026 09:48:26
Frank, Marco (Fulham bloke) or bring Nigel home.

12 Feb 2026 11:05:03
Marco Silva has no interet in joining the club. However, there are currently no significant positive factors that would attract a top-quality coach.

12 Feb 2026 09:30:27
Sack Nuno, Hire Ange, Sack Ange, Hire Dyche, Sack Dyche…. it doesn’t really matter.
The owner wanted Edu. Nuno didn’t. How has that worked out.
Maybe hire Clattenburg as manager?
Salaries rumoured to be >90% of revenue. This is all so predictable. Please stop the chaos and have a proper strategy for our club please.

Many of you on here have got you wanted - Dyche has gone. So what happens next? You want Perreira? Fine, because he is most likely arriving. Then what?

I didn’t smile all day long with Dyche, but I do believe he would have kept us up. We have Liverpool. United and City coming up, and he was the man to get points.

His win % was (I’m told) better than Nuno’s. He wasn’t in charge of a single signing and didn’t have the money to change that in January. What do you expect him to do?

So you’ve got your way, Mr M has got his latest self-inflicted way.

If we get relegated one could argue the future of the club is at risk in my view due to the financial burden we have via our salaries. It is going to get very difficult.

12 Feb 2026 09:51:18
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

12 Feb 2026 10:02:18
When some of your wins are against League one level opposition, you can't beat the worst team in Premiere league history at home and have lost the dressing room - it's time to go.

Right decision made.

12 Feb 2026 10:17:50
Bang on Cyclist ??.

12 Feb 2026 10:22:52
Likely that Anderson, Murillo, MGW will balance the books. They were getting sold anyway no matter what.

That means we’d have wasted the money on dross, better for the club to be forced into using that money to square the books off instead of washing it. Morato and abbot are probs good enough for the championship.

We’re going down people - accept it.

12 Feb 2026 11:58:17
Put your Left leg in and your Left leg out here we go with the Hokey Cokey. Laughing stock again with the football musical chairs, at this stage don't care who we get now and the ground development could be a waste of money. Perhaps DPT, Skeggs and Larry should apply for the job I'd pay to see that for a week or two maybe ??.

12 Feb 2026 12:49:23
No we are not we will stay up.

12 Feb 2026 09:26:20
We were only heading in a downwards direction. Obviously lost the dressing room a good while ago. I like Dyche the man, not Dyche the manager.
It's the owners decision and I personally think it's the correct one.
Worst case scenario and we do get relegated I will be renewing my season ticket without hesitation.
