Evangelos Marinakis Megathread!

[MASE]

I don't get how anyone can just not let folk enjoy what they enjoy about the club, does it matter where we find positives?

If folk thrive on this memory let them thrive. If SOD's pass & hoof was their bag let them bag it. If they thrive on Billy's playoffs let them thrive.

How can we become a thriving club again if all we do is try to choke that thrive out of ourselves everytime folk find something to enjoy?

Why cant we enjoy what Karanka did Alf, without you continually throwing the 25m Quitter line.

Hypocrisy alert.

I'm taking the piss out of him being a quitter, but I've nowt against folk enjoying his time here.

There's a difference between discussing a person, and not wanting fans to enjoy positives of the past. AK included. If you wanna bring up how much you enjoyed AK's time here over the years to come good on ya, glad for those who found positives.

Blimey Alf, I nearly spat out my coffee reading this. Ironic post of the year?

Not sure why?

Not sure why?

You know what I’m talking about.

Because whilst I know you’re a generally positive chap, you regularly seem to enjoy “choking the thrive” by criticising managers, certain players, the club and the club’s transfer policy. Most recently, a popular manager in AK, a well liked player in Carvalho, an unluckily injured player like Soudani, going on about which Derby players we should have signed... etc There are some managers who you show absolute loyalty to and would never criticise, such as the current one, for instance.

I know you like to have fun fishing and winding people up. Nothing wrong with that mate, nor is there anything wrong with criticism of managers, players or the club, except when you labour the same point over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

You did ask...

Evangelos, we have a major problem in Nottingham’s pubs. When Liverpool score, 75% of the pub goes up.

Please help us change that !! Lol

This. Seemingly Liverpool and Man Utd fans outnumber Forest fans in this city.

I'd suggest that it's arguably a similar scenario in most provincial cities Ravi, sadly.

I might be over-simplifying it, but in Nottingham's case, the demographic situation of one-in-five of the population being a student is possibly another contributory factor in giving that impression.

Was at my niece's athletics meeting in Kirkby in Ashfield this morning. Was pleasantly surprised by the number of Forest shirts I noticed. Other than that, one Spurs shirt, one Watford.

[Otis Redd'un]

If SOD's pass & hoof was their bag let them bag it.

I saw very little evidence of any "hoof" during O'Driscoll's all-too-brief tenure Alf.

Ashfield in general has always been a massive Forest area

It appears that the Club celebrating and remembering our achievements does reach farther than Nottingham. It's a great marketing tool.

Edit....Even better that it's 4 pages sure to have pissed the Scousers off when they opened the programme. Let's celebrate it every year.

"Hoof" gets levelled at every single manager ever at some point. There are very few managers for whom that label is actually justified.

[Barry]

I dont recall SOD receiving the hoof tag.

People didnt like his interviews or the fact he played that little youth in midfield from Donnie.

That youth whose name i cant recall was decent I thought, as was SOD.

He managed more than one game, that's all it takes

Tbf he more got branded as "negative", but there was the odd comment as such.......

Is SOD's style of football REALLY that great?

The answer to the question is simple really; an emphatic NO!

We do try to pass the ball but invariably are only generally able to do so in our own third where the opposition don't mind us having the ball. Camp is constantly the person that starts a move and then dozens of passes later gets the ball back to hoof up the pitch anyway. Our incisive, passing football in the last third (where it really counts) is at a real premium. When it does happen, Read tends to be at the heart of it, which makes taking him off when chasing a game like yesterday, baffling. O'Driscoll has been, surprisingly, negative in my view.

Simon Gillett, I liked him as well.

I think SO'D was a bit of a victim of A, Fawaz being an absolute twunt. And B, fans hearing the talk of Fawaz's blind ambition and placing the expectation on SO'D shoulders.

What SO'D did with the team in such a short space of time was absolutely brilliant. One of my favourite managers in recent years. So much to like about the bloke. He was done over good and proper too.

Not sure he fancies the main job anymore, but i'd be happy if at any point he had a role at the club. Smart bloke who thinks the game right imo.

Fair enough mate. Forgive me for misunderstanding.

I could not agree more; well said.

I think that just about sums up his entire tenure, for every manager and no further explanation is needed.

All good mate
