As I said in the ticket price thread - there is no redeeming feature to these owners. I've no reason to doubt this, it all sounds straight out of the usual playbook from them. Can't wait until they've ****ed off.

I like the fact he isn't totally dogmatic and despite it being Forest, much like Mark Robins, I've always never really minded him. But my god he's got to be better than he was there in the Premier League era. They were bloody awful. Extremely fortunate time and time again and cannot help but feel that their home crowd got them over the line many a time that season. I don't think we're going to quite have that about us - he starts on the back foot here. It will not take much for people to turn on him. There's not being Maresca level dogmatic possession but then there's Forest 2022/23. Outplayed game in, game out. I think those blaming the owners are being pretty kind to him, and does this appointment by its own nature not pose serious questions of our own? We're hardly a steady ship are we? There would be something quite Leicester about somebody so derided like this turning out well for us, it does quite often happen, but I don't think that's quite the rationale you can approach appointments with. We've also blown time on this - he could've been here a fortnight ago.

They're winging it and it's obvious. There's no planning. Just winging it and praying for the best. The lot of them are utterly clueless. This ownership at this point has not a single redeeming feature for me. Not one.

Get them out. Not wanted here.

It's all karma for 2016. It must be.

Biggest controversy so far involved English officials. No surprise there. Ours are quite possibly the worst in Europe - a product of unaccountability though, so should be expected.

You've just touched on the other point here - relegation. These are prices for what is likely to be pretty bleak viewing on the pitch. I think it's entirely plausible we go back below 30k this season for a game. Imagine that Southampton game 3rd May, already relegated, moved to Sunday 2pm. Yeah you know what I really fancy not spending £50+ on? We need a change of ownership. The reasonable season ticket prices had become one of the only redeeming features. These prices are so disgraceful that you can't give them any leeway on that anymore - closed shop and a ground full of people who are clinging on to avoid making their way back via this route. Totally tired fanbase yet one that wrongly feels indebted to these plonkers. It's miserable stuff. Total total shit.

Think this is my biggest plus about Potter - If you took any two points 12 months apart of a Potter tenure at any of his clubs you would struggle to find one where the latter wasn't stronger. He does seem to progress - albeit pretty slowly.

Potter's 1/10 on Betfair Exchange. He's actually coming.

Such an abysmally run club. Sick to death of people who defend this utter shitshow.

£72 to watch Leicester v Aston Villa - 80p a minute!! That's £3.20 for a VAR decision.

Utterly appalling.

Never had a birthday fixture in my life. At the 32nd time of asking, I get one, and Forest are going to send us down on it. Fantastic!

Nailed it always a load of fun until England, France and Portugal turn up. Just a classic Southgate game tonight. Job done but it's going to be the same old I think.

I was pretty pro Germany going into this tournament, think Scotland have been a bit unlucky on timings, when the draw came out I did think they had a shot of getting something. Absolutely awful from them though, genuinely couldn't have played this any worse.

I think as a club we've really fallen for a lot of the rubbish written about us by rivals. Even the Potter stuff I find the desperation baffling. I hope it's all points deduction related that we're acting this desperate for somebody so average.

His grift shouldn't be forgiven. He's an absolute bore. Ornstein is on another stratosphere, this bloke is genuinely uninteresting now.

In fairness to Romano when you rewrite the same thing 25 times you're bound to have the odd sentence not actually make sense.

think it's safe to assume they won't get much better under this ownership which is good news. Long may their suffering continue.

Beat me to it think it's fair game as well to be honest. I get him thinking that but I think this. No hard feelings.

Teams like Bournemouth and Fulham are talking points though. I'd say both of those play a fairly progressive style and both are genuinely quite entertaining teams. I've always quite enjoyed Silva's football. They were better than us in the Championship as well.

It was around then where I completely turned on this ownership - I could not believe they were tolerating that performance. I thought we'd been that bad in that Brighton game that they had no choice but to sack him and it was for the best we'd taken a hammering, but it didn't arrive. I get down the rabbit hole every time I think of that season. Just wind myself up

In fairness to him, it became apparent that we were a bit creative with the truth on our finances so he probably acted like we had luxuries that we didn't. Even still it's poor practice how we've ended up with him in this position already. He was on the scrapheap six months into a five and a half year deal. It's so so poor, and we've done the same since with another player in his position! Of whom people bring up Vestergaard's turnaround, well guess what, we did it with him as well

If Maresca doesn't add a bit more to his game then he's not going to make it at Chelsea or at a top level. I'm trying to avoid the Real Madrid route I keep going down because it's as flawed in a way as the Man City comparison - they have exceptional players. But I think their versatility is their real asset. To answer an above question, which successful sides play direct - well they definitely can. I'd say Liverpool surely. They play out, but they can be direct as well. I really think our fans will never properly take to the type of football Top supposedly wants us to play. They will tolerate it when we're winning but we won't properly engage and respond to it. I hope Top's so called vision isn't quite as dogmatic as made out.

Throwing in at the deep end isn't always the worst thing you know. I think providing its managed properly, ie not throwing them all in together at Anfield etc.. they can become useful to us this season.
