It’s been a strange few days for Forest fans in the aftermath of the untimely passing of Nigel Doughty. The elements intervening in the weekend’s game gave a welcome break from contemplating our on-the-pitch troubles and time for reflection – time that many Forest fans have put to good use in raising over £3,000 for [...]

Westley worked his way up from a youngster in the organisation, his reputation for a great work ethic showed from an early age. Rarely unable to work through illness or injury, he established himself as a key member of the staff over many years. Always modest, and never one of the shining stars – he [...]

They say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I’m not sure who they are, or why they say that so much – but apparently they do. It’s perhaps a succinct way to mark the departure of Nigel Doughty as Forest chairman after ten years. It’s undeniable we’ve seen some disappointing times [...]

I have no idea whether the rumours around Kenny Burns losing his job at Forest are true or not, but couldn’t resist the South Park inspired pun.

I realise in the midst of a regime change at the club we’re likely to encounter differences in ideas about suitable opponents and suchlike, [...]

Billy Davies left us in a far better state than he found us on the pitch, that’s undeniable – and that’s why lots of Forest fans are still struggling to come to terms with the idea that he has been sacked. He took over an ailing Championship side, struggling to adjust to a new league [...]

A simple question – it’s interesting hearing people who are prepared to post comments, many in favour of Schteve, many against. Without reading into my own thoughts, without taking influence from other commenters – what do you think? It will be interesting to see the differences in opinion.

It’s hard to ignore the rumours doing the rounds, and indeed, the deafening silence from the City Ground. Not that I think the powers-that-be should address every bit of internet-generated tittle tattle that inevitably gushes forth come the end of the season (and that I’m now adding to), but well, it would be nice to [...]
