Just a few points.

1. Nobody has ever called him the messiah.

2. You cannot accuse EM of not backing his managers unless you have been asleep for the last four years.

3. It's impossible that we have gone from bad to worse because the only scenario to be worse would be that we now have no club at all.

4. If you want to take it up with EM directly then I will send you his email address via a private message.
Let me know.

I'm not so sure that our owner is as interested in Forest as he is his beloved Oly, if he was then surely he can see what we can all see, it's not working with Hughton at the helm and not will it get any better, also why is it that when  someone voices his or her opinion on our owner you automatically feel the need to embarrass or knock them down, it's not having a pop at you, it's called having an opinion.

I have attended three games so far this season and after witnessing yet another woeful performance by players wearing the Forest shirt I have had enough, I pay my way to follow my beloved team and will continue to do so, but when is our "messiah" going to react to the situation that we find ourselves in, we went from just failing to make the playoffs, to finishing in 17th position to now seeing us prop up the league.

Also why is the owner not backing his manager up with funds to be able to bring in the players that he wants, surely if this is the case then why not cut his losses and do the inevitable, before it's too late, I see this owner as I do the previous owners that we have had, they are nothing more than businessmen, since Maranakis took over we have slowly gone from bad to worse, and that is my own personal opinion, not an attack on you or anyone else on this forum, nor do I personally attack verbally, everyone is entitled to his or her own personal opinion and mine differs from yours or others on here, it's a pity that the owner doesn't have the same love for the club as we the supporters do, if he did then the past mistakes that he has made wouldn't have happened, as a businessman surely he cannot be happy with what is happening to the club and where we find ourselves, and react.

That is why I am not happy with him, it has nothing to do with him as a person it's not personal, but it is the way in which we are going as a club, we are becoming a laughing stock and I really don't think that he is totally interested in Forest as he is with his other club, he's not exactly backing Hughton if not then why isn't he.

As a businessman I imagine he's not happy spending 70m and getting nowhere. This is the reality of the championship with parachute payments. Not saying they haven't made mistakes but football clubs are a terrible investment where you have to cover massive losses just to be competitive. So the idea that he's just in it for business doesn't really make sense unless you think he's got so much money that 20m a year is a drop in the ocean for him.

I disagree we have gone from bad to worse as we finished 21st that last year under Fawaz and up until last year had steadily gone up so that's bad to mediocre to quite bad I'd say.

Don't use this forum to hide behind.
You are entitled to your opinion and to slag our owners off that is your right but don't use this forum for your platform to do it and to hide behind.

If you have a problem with EM then take it to him directly not via this forum.
Get yourself down to the City Ground with your little flags and banners and start your protest in front of the cameras.
Grow some balls, front him up directly and stop taking the cowards way out by hiding behind this forum.
Do you have the balls to do that?

Sniff I don't want an argument and as I have said before I respect the the work you do on here so I'll do as you ask and won't mention EM again on here after this post.

I will point out that I haven't been toxic towards EM, have never said I wanted EM out and never not been appreciative of the work done off field.

Simply put I have voiced my concerns over the playing side which at the end of it all is the most important. I have some said that we are no better now than under the previous owner and that EM should be taking action.

Regarding getting to the ground... unfortunately some of us, like yourself, do not live close. I also have a young family which I would rather spend my time with on the weekends rather than travelling and being away. However I spend plenty of money following and keeping up the the club.

I won't comment on EM again.

Having a single 'fan' owner means absolutely nothing. Look at the sheep and Boro. Both owned by lifelong fans and they're in no better shape really than we are. And different era but Doughty spent a lot and went backwards.


RE: Evangelos Marinakis And Co - PsychoStanleyStone - 25-08-2021

things can still go either way, the lowest point into the abyss or effortlessly soaring towards the top of the table, hopefully the latter, but it is going to be one or the other as in total fail or at least survival and then some

I'd agree mate, overall it's night & day.

David Johnson tweet won’t go down well…..

Especially from a dad of one of our”star” players.

It's prob just signed brennans transfer wish in January


RE: Evangelos Marinakis And Co - Paplane - 12-09-2021

Jonno shouldn't be saying that about the club no matter how much he thinks it. He's in a unique position as an ex player and dad and agent of a current one. Hes allowed to have the opinion but his is one that gets amplifed massively when he states it in public.

Maybe we deserve to know how our club is being run from somebody with inside knowledge on the other hand pap? 

Will be another that hasn'tnt got a clue though no doubt when he clearly has.
