“I was a Forest fanatic pre 1970 and still am for that matter. A correspondent says surely someone must want to sign for Forest. Let me say Forest are a well respected and well known club still in this part of the World. However apart from the Brian Clough, Billy Walker and Johnnie Carey golden days the management of the Club has always been suspect. It obviously still is. I'm sorry to say this but unless we get a large investment of cash from possibly some overseas investor the Club will move between the Championship and League Div. 1 on a too regular basis This year unless things alter radically we will be bottom half I'm afraid”

The last time I looked these were available, all for nothing, 1 for now and 1 for the future and a lad who has been doing it at this level and scored goals.”

“Let us give thanks that the Magnificent ND and his dubious sidekicks have saved us from the fate of the likes of Cardiff City by their prudent financial approach.

What a ridiculous, 'sail close to the wind' club Cardiff City have proved to be.

Kept their existing squad, added to it with 5 top quality Prem loan players including the 'never to be seen in the Championship again' Craig Bellamy, wages paid predominantly by their wealthy home clubs, and destined for Automatic Promotion!

Thank goodness for the prudent MD and MA.

Hang on!....it couldn't possibly be that we don't know what we're doing and the likes of Cardiff do?

No....surely....could it?”

“Billy and Nigel are not talking. If Billy left Derby under a cloud are we seeing a pattern? What was Billy doing in the the Riverbank at 6.00 o'clock on Tuesday on his mobile, well clear of others ears and his accompanying trio of coaching staff? Was he arranging a job interview? If he can't develop and coach the young talent available he needs to go for the sake of the club.
C'mon you Reds!!”

“Never fear Danny Shittu to sign in next couple of days as a shortened version of his name is what the club have been feeding us fans on for quite some time...”

“Nick, Bournemouth,

I've been clinging to the hope that all this is part of a bigger picture in Forest's development as well, but in my heart of hearts I think it's not.
The problem is that ND's inactivity in the transfer window defies all logic.
At the start of the season Forest were held in very high esteem by the general football fraternity, 2nd favourite to go up this season, TV broadcasters waxing lyrical about us, newspapers regarding us as the Man U. of the Championship.

And then..... courtesy of broken promises by the Board we have gone from Hero to Zero in the space of a transfer window.

Nobody can get their head around it.
Nobody can believe it.
We all seem to have been sucked into a huge pile of deceit.

That's why we cling to the hope that, actually, something is happening that will make all our complaints look ill founded - make us look stupid - and secretly we all hope we are all made to look stupid.

But we won't. ND will try hard to make us look stupid by producing a couple of loan signings that will look great initially but won't really work.

Billy will go, understandably, and be replaced with another CC, and welcome to another few years of mediocrity.

When you re-visit the post of the guy that allegedly sat next to BD on the flight from Glasgow, it's all proving true - "nobody will be signed in the window, one reserve Prem player will arrive on loan, I'll be sacked within weeks etc. etc. etc.

Billy is no fool. He has to know what's going on. So he hands his list to the AP and leaves it to them. Never talks to them and asks what they're actually doing about it, why players on the list aren't signing. Yeah right!

If there is a Master Plan involved in this mayhem I'd dearly love to know what it is.”

“why oh why do we all bother listening to all the bull coming out of the city ground it's all been another con from in there we've spent our hard earned cash on season tickets hoping to have some more quality to our squad but just ended up with a lot weaker squad perchy's gone so what is the money being spent on. We dont stand a chance of getting in the premier this season or next the only thing we will see is players becoming restless and wanting away who's to say we could blame them i'm fed up listening to this 3rd in the league last season it's rubbish the truth is we was not good enough and we wont be this year either”

“ND may have something in the pipeline that reveals a bigger picture to the success at Forest.I think this is unlikely, my opinion is that he has no 'follow through', spending well at the beginning of last season then tightening the purse strings when we needed to compete with Newcastle and Westbrom who were plugging all their potential holes with signings last January. Either Doughty has some sort of Master plan that has to be revealed soon or he is not mentally equipped for the big time in Football, He may even have mental problems which are triggered when coming close to Footballs big time Premier league, similar to stage-fright. The other possibility is that he has some serious Business problem elsewhere that restricts his finances or he simply doesn't have the funds we are lead to believe. If this is the case then he could start saving his pennies by firing Clowns like McArthur and Pleat.”

“what a cracking comment below
sense in every word
appoint the poster now
good on yer pal”

“kinnear did the right thing outing the ex crew and megson alluded to insular goings on and even cc was not altogether comfy in the surroundings so super KB holds no sway with his rantings.....why should the chairman shell out his own dosh....would you?....doughty is playing it right,you can't prop up a failing business by throwing dosh at it,time for "in billy we trust" to step up to the plate and manage with what he's got....we ain't premier league you know!!!!!!!!.......if it don't work by xmas fine, get rid and appoint anew and see where the club goes from there”
