Shame he's going. (A LB, ironically.). Guess he wasn't ready for the first team?
Good to read that the young guns have been training with the squad players. Young players will see a path to the first team. If they're good enough and have the right attitude.

Matty Bondswell wouldnt have pushed for first team for at least another 2/3 years. Only left school last month.
Forest couldn’t have done any more to keep him, they offered him Dekel and Mighten (Best 3 talents in their year group) scholarships at age 13 and all of the kept them hanging on.
Currently Mighten has signed, which at 17 turns in to a 2.5 yr pro deal.
Interesting what happens to Dekel, not signed for anybody yet but not committed to Forest either yet.
Cheers for the info'. It adds a bit more depth to his departure...and context. (So, he wasn't going to make an impact for the 1st team for a good long while anyhow...)
Forest need players that can commit. Forest are going places under the new owners.
At least Forest have signed Mighten. That's a positive...and we can keep an eye on his progress.

Mine too.

Seem to make the team competitive and seemed to do a great job with them. I used to read about their results and progress.
Like you say, if he wants to continue with management, he might have to start with a lower down team.
I'd like him back at Forest.
