At times it feels like it's a Forest fan who has hacked us on a Football Manager game. Ryan Bertrand......big contract...... hwa hwa hwa
I think the question is raised because of the issues of transparency and communication, there's not a constant or consistent dialogue from anyone so there feels like a huge distance between us and when there's no official communication speculation and rumour takes over. When Top does speak / write it's interesting and seems very sincere, the piece re-assuring us they would not be walking away and what the club means to them was the kind of dialogue that's appreciated. The piece in the programme several games into last season explaining why we'd spent FA was well written but wrongly timed, it would not have affected my decision but announce that before selling the season tickets maybe, not after, at some stage of that summer the decision was made, Rodgers was told, Rodgers sulked and I do have some sympathy, no Premier League Club has ever done less in the summer market and survived (or ever done less full stop) so we'd written our own death knell and it was left to a sinking individual gut feeling that it was happening rather than a clear confirmation. In short they know more than they let on about our situation, at times it is prudent to keep it internal to ward off cheap bids for players, avoid deflated morale etc but if you want us to buy into something tell us what it is we're buying in to.
