Started last week but working on a US contract for 6-8 weeks which means I can work from home which is handy to get kids to school, etc.  Staying at Mum's for now but looking to move out as soon as we can.  Still trying to get rid of our house in the US unfortunately.

Ah right. Aiming for...? London? Midlands?

We havent gone into administration and are not much better off than any of them.

Make your fcuking mind up.

Dropping us into the third division - our lowest point ever - is used by you as a reason why Doughty is such a lousy owner, but Southampton or Sheff Weds being in that division are still not much worse off than us?

Well mainly on transfers, it seems when ever he gets involved in a transfer it falls apart, I have lost count of the times players have chosen to go to other " not so attractive clubs" rather than sign for us. The other issues is his PR skills they have wound the fans up so many times. I have met Mark Arthur twice and he comes across as a patronising cnut.

It is patronising to talk down to someone as if they are less intelligent than you. I'm not sure that it's still patronising when they actually are less intelligent than you.

Do we have a World Cup stadium? (I've been away for a fortnight, so maybe I missed something...)

Have England been awarded the right to host the world cup? (I'm away at the moment too, so may have missed something....)

We've got a picture, so I'm sure Doughty doesn't have to write any losses off. As a Doughty apologist I'm not surprised you don't understand this.

There are many examples of teams with far less potential having far greater success, I have already mentioned Wigan and there are others such as Fulham, Blackburn & Bolton, far smaller concerns and far more successful.



This is the bit (from many, not just Donny) that I really struggle with sometimes. More potential how exactly? And what the hell is 'potential' anyway? How do you quantify it? (guru type equations aside). Because we won the European Cup 30 years ago? OK. But Blackburn won the Premier League 15 years ago. Fulham has the whole West London thing in it's favour.

What is it, exactly,  that means Forest has 'more potential' than Bolton, Wigan et al? Other clubs are of similar size with similar sucessess in their own dim and distant past; Leeds, Sheffield Weds, QPR, Preston, Huddersfield etc aren't setting the world on fire either. 20 years from now I dare say Wigan might be back in second / third tier. Maybe even banging on about their glories of reaching the Premier League in 00's.

I just don't get the whole 'Forest should be bigger / better' or has more 'potential' argument. 77-95 was 18 years of exception in the grand scheme of things, not the rule.

That's not to say I'm paricularly happy with our seemingly dreary plight at the moment, but nor do we have some kind of 'right' to more because of our 'grand status' either.

Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday, Southampton?




Sheff Wed are not any worse than us, they have survived the latest administration threat, Leeds will get back in the premier before us and Southampton are no worse off because of administration, they are only in their second season in Div 3 lets see if they stay down amy longer than us before we include them.

We havent gone into administration and are not much better off than any of them.
