I doubt his opinion is the same now as it was then.... no one's is.

In any case 1 person =/= an entire fanbase.

To quote Ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park "This isn't some species that was obliterated by deforestation, or, or the building of a dam. [Nottingham] had their shot, and nature selected them for extinction"

You can actually understand what that guy is saying? Shocked

I thought the joke was that he was incoherent and sounded like a neanderthal Laughing

Yeah.... we need an owner, like the one at Man City.

That was years ago though, times have changed..... despite what some people will want you to believe.

We are happy with how the club is run ( stadium name change and sports direct signs all over the f*ckin place aside) and want the stability to continue.

F*ck that takeover shit.

Haters gonna hate. GOAT Nottingham :bow:

I'm pleased for them. They are a proper club and have 2 CL's to their name. Hopefully they'll be back in the prem and replace a sh*thole club like Stoke.

by Swanhends Tue Jul 10, 2012 6:11 pm

Stokes not going anywhere, not yet at least :coffee:

They always finish in the lower half but they start strong so they really aren't ever involved in the relegation battle

Plus no Europa League to distract them this season

Why?

Because a club with history like theirs deserves to be in the Premier League imo.

As much as I dislike Leeds, I would also like to see them in the prem. Leeds n Forrest >> The likes of Wigan, which is just a Rugby town and has barely any fans.

I hope they get relegated. I hate their football....and fans.

agreed

by Lex Tue Jul 10, 2012 6:47 pm

Nottingham f*cked themselves over with stupid investments and even more stupid managerial appointments over the years. For them to screw up so magnificently and have some rich idiots come in and shove a giant money-filled pillow under them is a bit........bleh

Far from being pleased, i'm rather disgusted and disappointed. Hope they stay where they are and never appear in the PL

Soon enough Nottingham will be playing in the Jihad stadium, in front of 60 k glory hunters.

by RealGunner Tue Jul 10, 2012 7:18 pm

Jihad stadium ?

by Kick Tue Jul 10, 2012 9:00 pm

Notts County > Forest.

Just saying :coffee:

Anyway, Good luck to them.

by Red Alert Tue Jul 10, 2012 9:21 pm

Still more CL's than London. :coffee:

False

They haven't won a CL.
They won the European Cup.

Once again GL romanticizing the past :facepalm:

by Doc Wed Jul 11, 2012 8:24 am

They probably would go the QPR route. Also, from reading more about this deal, I stumble upon some stuff about Notts Forrest courtesy of Pies:

First things first, with the imminent sales of Luke Chambers and Joel Lynch to Ipswich and Huddersfield respectively, our defensive ranks consist of one makeshift left-back and three right-backs – two of whom are worryingly green and were playing reserve-team football last year – and a quick glance further up the field reveals similar problems. Indeed, there are no players currently occupying squad numbers 2-7.

In short, the squad is a sparsely-populated, paper-thin, completely unbalanced shambles.

Mr Al-Hasawi, over to you…

Basically, don't expect any quick jump to the BPL. And there is nothing wrong with romanticising the past, just don't use it as a measuring stick to judge a club's performance in the present...

by Kick Wed Jul 11, 2012 8:29 am

Wow, someone is going to have to spend, that is not a very good defence.

exactly.. it's the only ways for small clubs to be able to compete against the giants in spain, england, and italy.. otherwise it's like the same top 2 or top 4 every year. i call that boring.
