It amazes me how so many Nottingham Forest fans are jumping to the defence of Maranakis. Anybody could have seen how reckless and irresponsible it was to sign 30 players, spend €195m+ on players, and pay huge wages for a promoted club on players like Lingard, Henderson, Navas, Ayew etc. He was not ambitious he was incredibly irresponsible.

Eh?

The ownership really dont get what the problem is.

Forest Green seem to be heading in one direction under Troy Deeney.

They're going to move in to second gear in February with KDB back.

His best material is in the wrong company. Sammy, Jericho, Jungle Boy, Bucks, Matt Hardy's wife, Darby etc.

How did it even get up there? Coventry's security licence should be reviewed for that. That's part of the reason I'm off twitter. I'd see people make 'vichai on a plane' comments to Leicester players from faceless accounts and it would get under my skin. How anybody can think this is acceptable behaviour in any walk of life is beyond me.

Based on his limited appearances it feels like a good move for everybody.

Our owner situation is still looking messy. John Textor has made it known publicly he still wants to sell his 45% stake this season. He doesn't like not having the final say when he's the majority owner because of the other three don't agree with his long term philosophies. What's new news this month is that potential bidders are put off by the fact they'd be passive investors as Steve Parish still has the final say in football matters. Steve Parish has been a very good guardian for the club since we came out of administration. You could argue he's actually been exceptional to take the club from Championship relegation favourites to mid level Premier League for a decade and becoming the spokesperson for the 14 clubs against the greedy six. I'm sure he will do what's best for the club, but him selling his 10% or losing his majority could have ramifications for everybody given his influence in chairman PL meetings.

There has to be a fairer way to implement FFP. FFP is extremely important for clubs with owners who spend beyond there means. But for sides like Newcastle, or even lower down the pyramid the likes of Bristol City and Stoke City who have owners who are willing to finance the football operation with no loans with interest. They shouldn't be handicapped to the likes of Chelsea because of where the club were positioned in 2013.

Yeah that promo before The Rock came out was good. Being a fan of Jinder was not on my 2024 bingo card.

@Viva la FCB Eric Dier for you.

We don't use ü when conferring as we're spoilt.

Given his age and raw talents I think he'd be a good asset for several bottom half clubs, ourselves included. It hasn't worked at Leeds United and given his behaviour in the summer I doubt it but the front four they have just suit each other very well. I think he'd be a better fit for somebody like us who could use a pacey direct player on the left side of up top.

So what percentage of female football pundits do we reckon knew it was Franz and not Frank Beckenbauer?

Tony Khan still msming it impossible to root for him. Last week he thought it was appropriate to look like this when he knew he was going to be asked questions about sexual harassment in his work place that he allegedly covered up. This week he's taking shots at WWE because USA Networks twitter account mocked Cagematch.
