He rested players for crucial Europa cup matches. The tactics used away in the semi were never e mployed in PL matches but would have got points if used in certain matches. We were always well clear of the bottom 3.I think Ange made it up in hindsight. It was never mentioned or implied from January until after the final. Totally made up bullshit to save face.
Even if he did. There were some injuries and many of the players still played every game. I think its no clear indication that he threw away the PL, except the results in the league.
They might also charge you more knowing that you're about to have 60 big ones burning a hole though, if there were any legitimacy to the notion, then Forest would have to have ensured that the whole deal was kept quiet, and politely asked us to hold off on completing it.Agree. The price is the price. Selling clubs won’t give you a discount in case you don’t sell MGW

Save people the read:
What MGW said to the Forest boss was: "I'm fucking off to spurs, a far bigger club than this shithole, and there's nothing you can do about it. So mind your business or get dealt with you fat walking pig."

I know you're joking, JT...but if not (entirely), appointing Thomas Frank plus signing Tel, Kudus & especially MGW (though they were all opportunistic buys), that alone is worthy of a good 6/10 in my books. See how them 3 deliver on the pitch obviously, but they look to me like positive players with some real dog in them...we been missing that for a while.As things stand. Right now. Considering we would have been relegated in any previous PL season with our pathetic, unprecedented points tally...
2/10 at best
Seriously?You think they can get away with pretending MGW isn't leaving during the current media coverage, in order to hoodwink another club into selling them a MGW similar player for less money???
Let's hope for Forest's sake that nobody at Man City is following the football news too closely in the off-season then!
You are right. Sorry, shouldn't have brought it up again to risk going back to these endless discussions when we're finally rid of the clown. My bad.You don't go from
"If you're going by social media then 99% of them will [want Spurs to lose] but please don't tell me that's your world. If it is you need counselling. I understand rivalry but I'll never understand anyone wanting their own team to lose."

“No, I want it all. I want everything mate. It sets me up for people to maybe ridicule me because I said I want it all and of course there’s a chance of falling short, as is the case with anything, but I will take the biggest bite I can and see what comes out.”

To suddenly claiming that the league games were somehow not taken seriously or thrown away.
I'm not even sure he said that. What was said was:
"If we weren't in Europe, potentially our league form wouldn't have suffered as much, because obviously I've made a hell of a lot of changes on a week-to-week basis. You don't really know."
So any defence of that was more nonsense made up by the greek/aussie brigade who were backing him into the realms of delusion.
Agreed, it was just a thought I had on where the delay might benefit them.They sounds very much like a Forest problem though , fuck them , we met the clause, release the Kraken!![]()
Buy a young African DM with decent stats /data backing him then trust him enough to play and develop him .
Bigger clubs just aren't willing to play kids and have them learn the league.
A release clause with an NDA attached is not a release clause.
Who advises and agrees to that utter shite?
Had I read the whole post? It's 4 short paragraphs mate, and there's no great depth to it beyond you clutching at straws.Seriously?
We had more coverage than this when Bale was going to RM. We all knew it, but we did our business before that money became available. Whether we got better value on those players we bought only the club will know, hence why it is just speculation for discussion.
It's a theory based on what has happened previously. Had you read the whole post, rather than looking to points score by ignoring the main thrust of it, maybe you'd have thought a little before responding.
