Will we start losing games on purpose?

[elisered33]

What i mean by that is, will BD start getting nervous about automatic promotion & start rotating the squad in such a way that we start losing games? He has already said that in his opinion we are not ready for the Premiership and i am sure he wouldn't want a repeat scenario of what happened with them SHEEP down the road! Just a thought......................................

 

[Azza]

I think the definitive answer to this is no.

 

[elisered33]

I sincerely hope that BD sticks with the same "winning" squad, injuries permitted.
I am not trying to sound all doom & gloom but i cant help thinking that BD will not want automatic promotion this season.

With the greatest of respect, that is the most ridiculous suggestion I think I've ever heard. lol

I think it's been pretty well documented that Billy intentionally underplays his beliefs that promotion, automatically or through the playoffs, is on the cards this season and I fully believe that he plays every single game to win without exception. He will NEVER play not to win, I'm absolutely sure of it.

We're not ready for the Premiership now, but we will be. Maybe this season, maybe next.

 

[elisered33]

So if he starts rotating the squad for no apparent reason & we start to lose games, i will only have to say "told you so" :bigboss:


















On the other hand, i hope i am proven wrong! :blink:

 

[Jelly Bean]

Givs us a good excuse when we start losing at least!

 

[elisered33]

You are absolutely right jelly bean, i don't mean to put the squad down especially with the results of late. I was just thinking out loud.

 

[The Vicar]

Might lose the last game of the season so that we come runners up instead of champs in order to save Victor Chandler £6 million.
Victor bungs Billy a brown envelope with £1 million in .






Which of course he doesn't accept. :winkie:

 

[elisered33]

I actually like that suggestion. It's better than mine!

 

[RICH1977]

if billy comes out and says "we are ready for the big time and we are going for it" and then asks doughty for investment in january doughty could possibly say well you have the players you need so I a not dipping my hands in my pocket.

by saying what he has said it keeps the chairman on his toes, keeps the media away from the younger players who with the prospect of playing in the preier next season might actualy choke, keeps the fans down to earth and constantly questioning ourselves everytime we look at the the table.

if any forest manager started loosing games on purpose I would want him out the club instantly.

 

[RedMark]

We probably aren't ready for the Premiership, but we are never gonna find out until we get there, be it this season or the next.

Stoke weren't ready, Burnley weren't ready, Hull weren't ready, Reading weren't either but they have all had a good crack at it. Not long ago didn't Reading finish in the top half after being favourites to go down ? ( correct me if I'm wrong ).

Any team that goes up are generally in the top 5 favourites to go straight back down. Even if we did go down I wouldn't mind, as long as we can say we went down playing decent football and didn't get turned over week in week out.

I don't want to piss on your suggestion but it does sound rather crazy. :wacko:

 

[dbarraclough]

I'm sure ND would be thrilled at the idea. :
I can just see his face as mad Billy proposes it to him :blink:

 

[marshdweller]

I doubt that Billy's comments are aimed at fooling the chairman at all. For the club to be progressing at the rate it is, and for the success to continue, both manager and chairman MUST be reading from the same page. I expect Billy talks to Nigel Doughty on a weekly (if not daily) basis about who he needs to improve the team. He may have the players to get to 3rd, but January will be spent attempting to bring in the players who can not only consolidate 3rd but push for automatic promotion and then help us stay up next season.

I think all of us would be amazed to find out just how far in advance plans are laid. Billy will already be scouting two sets of targets; one for if we do get promotion, and one for if we fall short - and he will have been since he was appointed I reckon.

 

[The_City_Is_Ours]

I think Billy has already put out a 'losing' team this season - at Watford we played terrible and at half time I thought (and heard others comment) that its as if Billy doesn't want to win. The conversation after the game with my bro went along the lines that maybe BD put out a negative/weaker team that would lose in order to show we need strengthening.

I haven't been on here for a couple of years - and now I remember why. The endless batch of useless excrement and twaddle that pours out of the keyboards of some of the members on here. I think I'll leave, get me coat, taxi etc.

I'd hoped for an improvement in standard of input but it seems the idiots have had upgrades, become bigger idiots!

Bye, won't miss ya!!!

For the past couple of years, Redscorpian has been busy with his book, '' How to win friends and influence people '', obviously this project failed as he never got past the working title.

Please stay, you have made an outstanding contribution to the life of the forum, you will be sadly missed

 

[elisered33]

Either redscorpian is incredibly brave or just plain stupid!
Go away you troll & play with your barbie!















Are you a genuine Forest fan? I very much doubt it, probably a les-ster fan or a sheep in disguise! Another words, go away you silly little person
