Neville also been silenced.

Other clubs have reportedly written to us asking for detaila of the case too. 

:Funny:

Lets hand it over.

All the big media firms barely reporting it either. Tells you everything you need to know. Had we been on the receiving end it would be everywhere again and big news.

The bias is very annoying and has been since we came up. How dare we have the audacity to attempt to compete with the cartel?
I love that the big man takes absolutely no shit from those in charge of the game. Some in the media still refer to us as "big spending Nottingham Forest" even though our net spend is under 90 million and even though It'sNeverOurFault FC just spent 120 million on a player.

It's not just off the pitch stuff though. They criticized us last season for our counterattacking style of play because we didn't play Pep's tippy-tappy style that they all have such a hard-on for. They believe it's the only way to play, so much so that they've convinced other clubs of this. I watched Newport Co - Bristol Rovers today and it was comical to watch Newport trying to play it out from the back with suicide passes and pointless backward and sideways balls.

The agenda is definitely there. I just can't believe that there isn't more objectivity among the fans who refuse to see it.

I agree, but Sky and Co. are interested in one thing. Viewing figures. A story about the Tea Lady at Man Utd will get 20 times more viewers than a Brighton player interview.

Serving the plastic armchair fans in the UK and abroad is what it's all about.

Agreed thats all its about unfortunately. Therefore the Big 6 bias is real but in my opinion saying there is some kind of anti Forest conspiracy is totally wrong. They want all non big 6 clubs back in their box for sure but there’s no particular vendetta against us.

The more I see the likes of Neville and Jamie Spitter Carragher spouting their vitriol the more determined we get to keep ruffling feathers.

The trouble is those two seem to be the ones who set the agenda on all things premier league. So if they come to a conclusion on something then the rest of the media will run with it. And I was really disappointed with Keane the other day. I've got a lot of time for that guy but he accused the club, or Marinakis, of treating Nuno poorly. No one knows how Nuno was treated. How has Keanr decided that he was poorly treated? Poor punditry from Keane, as well as the chuckle brothers.

I’d say Nuno dis-respected Marinakis TBH with his behaviour from the eve of the season onwards.
New contract, massive financial backing into the squad.
I’d be surprised if Nuno gets a job where he is backed as much

That is how I see it too.

Somehow Nuno has come out of this smelling of roses and EM is the bad guy according to the media.

Football pundits will always side with managers and players over clubs and owners. Im a big fan of Simon Jordan. He always offers perspective from an alternative point of view rather than coming out with a load of uninformed tosh.

Id like now for Marinakis to just disappear into the background for 6 months or so. Let the players and manager take the limelight. Get the media talking about our football and not him. So no going on the pitch, no smashing tv's, no spitting at refs.

Its completely the other way round, this is on Nuno, he gave marinakis no choice, may have got away with the sky interview but the 2 pressers that followed, he hung himself.
