New delivery of flatscreens to City Ground

It's OK lad, no need for the brave face. I'll stop bullying you now and leave you alone with your Marinakis poster.

How many will I get for a tenner Magic ? …..Alf will probably want £20 worth

 

[Alf-engelos Mindminackers]

Gerrin early Alf, could be the new Apple, we could end up not only handsome but rich ta boot

Once we start pushing these out Bonf we'll be buying Forest...

We just need to have AMBITION(tm) (ΦΙΛΟΔΟΞΙΑ!)

We need ambition and lots of it.

I think he's like Fawaz in many ways:
A fragile ego.
A "throw enough shit at the wall and hope something sticks" approach to recruitment throughout much if his tenure so far.
Undermining managers.
Breaching FFP.
Off the pitch dramas galore.
A bad reputation amongst other clubs.
Not as bad as Fawaz with his Kuwaiti players, but there are a few instances where we've done favours for Olympiacos and would we have signed Court Vlachula if not for his nationality?
The City Ground being left to rot.
Was looking like taking us into League One (or at least another relegation battle in the Championship) before Murphy's intervention.
Horrendous communication, reading of the room and general lack of respect for the fans.

To be fair, he doesn't make as much of a prat of himself on Twitter. But had it not been for Murphy, the result would have been the same.

I’m not a huge fan of EM but to compare him to Fawaz is somewhat unfair in my view,Ash.
I accept he got lucky with Murphy and Cooper but upon gaining promotion he invested
heavily (albeit in some cases unwisely) to give us a chance to retaining top flight status-having
achieved his aim he undoubtedly dropped a major clanger in not selling Johnson
early enough.I think the FFP charge soured the feel good factor at the City Ground after
decades in the wilderness.
As for the City Ground,he certainly hasn’t been helped by short sighted and useless councils.
I think Forest have misread the room on the season card prices.
As a final point-if EM were to depart,do you really think we would miraculously find a fault
free and ambitious owner? A look around other clubs in the cesspit of modern football
tells me there would be a significant chance of getting someone way worse.

I’d love to be on an advisory panel with a few forum folk, I’d provide a few beers to loosen everyone up then let the mayhem start , be a good laugh if nothing else.

Yep. Though it’s fair to say that selling Johnson for £30m in June would also have soured the feelgood factor somewhat.

No, the people on this forum would have accepted it rationally.

Not as much as the FFP charge in my view,Forest (EM runs the show) should have taken
ownership of the issue and taken it on the chin and learnt from the experience.

They would have got a moan-erection

Has the first meeting been held ? Why wasn’t I invited?

Christ on a bike, do you know how many biers it takes to „loosen me up“? A „few“?

I drink „a few“ for breakfast. Then, more for lunch.

The actual answer is, a lot. I hope you have very deep pockets, because by all the Gods, you would need them. Crates worth.

Just put them on my slate ….meeting wouldn’t start until everyone is clattered .

Elanga suddenly would have cost £25m as well.

I respect your opinion, even though I disagree. Personally I think we'd be viewing EM in a different way had Murphy and Cooper not gained him a miracle promotion.

I'd prefer a less wealthy owner who ran the club properly personally. Especially in today's day and age where owners are limited as to what they can invest anyway (thanks to FFP/PSR). The last couple of decades has seen lots of clubs with less resources than ourselves perform better than Forest due to being ran far more sensibly.

Leadership at the club is totally inept. Could've just sold the club shop to themselves for £30m and sponsored the academy for a further £20m and avoided this whole thing. Thats how the experienced guys do it.
