I realise that these will seem like petty observations on the FAB account, but I’d like to have some of whatever the Chairman’s on if he’s feeling optimistic about the “group”.
And I’m genuinely surprised if no one at the meeting questioned why the Burnley FC dinner was being held in Manchester.

I think it’s a poor decision by Forest. Not sure that we are in any position to profit, should the new manager do any worse.
And, FWIW, I don’t think Nino is that good a manager. Didn’t he recently get sacked by one of those identikit Saudi teams?

Re: Sacking Kompany
I’m not sure that sacking our manager is necessarily the way to go.
If he does leave, however, I have a suggestion for a replacement - David Blunkett.
He may not be an ex-Premier League defender - but he does know how to hold on to a lead.
