FLY2 10,108 Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Bye bye seems appropriate. Although we had 16 shots to their 1, and well over 60% of the play, I don't think there was a lack of effort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

benjamin1945 16,118 Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Merry (money) go round again.............i fail to believe that there is NO Manager with local roots that can't do a better job for Forest.......someone who cares about Nottingham and takes pride in Forest and its history..........also believe we could have a squad of players from local teams who would be a match for all the big money foreign players, I know i'm living in dreamland,........but i watched an under tens game couple of weeks ago.........Vernon colts v Long eaton colts.......some great little players amongst them, 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rob.L 1,084 Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 My dream team as management would be O'Neill and Keane. if the rumours about discipline issues within the team are true, I bet that those two, Keane in particular, would soon sort them out. Even if it meant knocking a few heads together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
woody 549 Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 If the players are not pulling their weight on the pitch it is about time some of them were sacked as well. The amount of money they get is ridiculous in the first place and if they don't work effectively get rid. You didn't last long where I worked if you didn't earn your keep.

TBI 2,351 Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Gravy train - get sacked, get compensatory pay-off, wait until another club comes along, daft enough to offer a job. Whoever Forest get will probably have been sacked from his last club won't he? Not that I'm remotely interested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Yes, and whose money is contributing to the pay off ? The fans ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,217 Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Here we go again, it's just like a roundabout at the Goose Fair. I agree with Ben, sack the underperforming players and build a squad with a core of local/UK players even if it involves relegation for a few seasons. It might even help the England team if this happened with more clubs by having two or three players from a club that a team could be built around Get a manager with a real passion for the club and let him manage. For me real football died when the "stupid money" from the media came in. The odd game that I have watched live is so negative that as an ex season ticket holder I would not be sitting there on a freezing cold day watching that rubbish. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the_big_fact_hunt 9 Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 i dont care for the game, but i think the wrong person was sacked for underperforming. How many shots has he has this season? not the number that the players on the pitch have, they failed to score. Pay by performance and it would improve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,217 Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 I agree with TBFH, a base salary with a win bonus it also might remove some of the negativity in the game. What about a salary cap for each club which includes all registered players, this would limit the ability of the super clubs to "purchase" a championship. Stupid salaries to the players has not improved the performance of the England team. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob.L 1,084 Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Unfortunately, the billions being spent on football here by the TV companies, led by Murdoch, the "dirty digger", have led to this situation where money over-rides anything else. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 When Cloughie first took over, and assembled his all conquering squad, they were on a relatively low basic salary, but with a very high win bonus. Look at the results. It paid handsome dividends. The worst thing that's happened to English football is the ridiculous Bosman ruling, and the totally unnecessary and gimmicky Premier League. No loyalty from players whatsoever. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 So that's Karanka's first defeat out the way! Big changes on & off the pitch over the next few weeks me thinks? My apologies for a Nottingham post ..... As you were. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mercurydancer 1,104 Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Aitor Karanka did OK for Boro, but ran into problems with the likes of Stewie Downing. Given a more focused team without primadonnas and he will do well for Forest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
