We need to talk about Nottingham Forest.

I guess we will soon see if nobody could possibly do any better. This thread is only just getting started baby

Looks like mad Vito might be announced before the end of the day.

Will he have enough to keep them up ?

I wonder if his two remaining diehards will still go into bat for him ?

His next job will be Burnley in the Championship.

So just to be totally clear, are we now saying he DOESN’T know what he’s doing?

That owner's decisions have got them promoted, and in Europe.

At some point you just have to accept that maybe he knows what he's doing.

Maybe.

Laughing, well, there's context before it - but the point would remain, apply whatever context you like.

The end result will still dictate that Nottingham Forest are at their highest level under their current owner since, well, i'll let you finish that.

So... what? You can't assess where a football club is under an owner after 8 years?

The story does indeed continue. As it always does.

But the fact remains - under Marinakis, Nottingham Forest are a Premier League Club, currently playing European Football.

I've got a bad back and greys coming through, and without question, Forest are at their best now in my lifetime.

They undoubtedly owe their owner for that.

There's the context - if you want to argue with it, provide your own context.

He's been there over 8 years now mate. The chaos has only been upward.

Premier League, Wembley, Europe. He's delivered pipe dream stuff for them.

I wouldn't have hired Postecoglou either. But I wouldn't have hired Cooper. Or Nuno Santo.

But as I say, most take the piss at the loon, I did at one time but now, you have to acknowledge the direction of travel under that club under him.



As I say mate, over 8 years he's been there.

It's already 'worked' in that Forest are at their best since the 80s - he's achieved more than anyone could have expected.

To add, their game prior to him taking over - Forest needed a win on the final day - they won 3-0, to avoid relegation on goal difference to League One.

You'd be hard pushed to name a club in English football with as much tangible progress in the near decade under Marinakis.

^ There's the context.

Full inception complete!

Any highlights?

Now chums what you might be thinking is which self appointed soccer experts on here were sure Notts Forest moving light years ahead of Everton with their big summer spend, and crying at Everton to keep up?

 

[Drico]

Dyche has paid the price.

I'd love to pay that price. How many millions is it worth to Sean?

 

[chicoazul]

Oh forget that someone just went two foot in on @GrandOldTeam OMG WOW someone please call the cops it gonna go OFF.

 

[Swartzy]

His next job will be Burnley in the Championship.

Don't think they would touch him now. if he somehow ended up back there, that pub will end up getting rebranded..

 

[Connor]

*waits.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

So just to be totally clear, are we now saying he DOESN’T know what he’s doing?

?

Still agree with all that.

The point was/remains - he's progressed that club enormously, and Forest fans are entitled cry arses.

He's not infallible, but, to use the last quote you shared;

To add, their game prior to him taking over - Forest needed a win on the final day - they won 3-0, to avoid relegation on goal difference to League One.

Dyche knew full well he was getting into bed with an absolute lunatic, so no doubt he's chuckling all the way to the curry house bank. But honestly, four months in charge? Laughable by Marinakis. Why bother if you are going to punt people at the cost of millions a few weeks after appointing them. Given his carry-on when we were points deducted and given how the capitalised shamelessly on the Palace mix-up, we don't need too many more reasons to hope Forest get what they richly deserve: relegation and potential bankruptcy. Those fans will need to purge this fella before he digests that club like the many managers he has previously consumed.

#ThankYouMyGaffer.

I remember people saying he would have them comfortably mid table

Now it’s ‘well he’s got them out the relegation zone’. The goal posts always change to suit the agenda that he’s a good manager, when he’s just not, he’s a dinosaur

 

[Nymzee]

Any highlights?

It's a good read. Lots of very angry people. They've already booted it into an ex-player sub-forum

Sean Dyche

I'm looking forward to hearing their sides of the story down the line. I'm sure it will contain all the usual self-protection that we have seen from O'Neill. They all obviously want to protect their own reputations so will trot out the same excuses.
