deancoles 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2005 Tony Pulis did his own overhaul with us, the transfers/wages put us in the shit and his long ball style was awful. "so your crap/past it and no one wants you" "right" "have a 3 year contract son" Mortimer,Steve Jones,Burns,Beadle and Holland were all flops and most of them were on the wage bill for years. Edit: The day in January when i'd found out he went to Portsmouth was the best day in my life, we even got 100k for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they were too tainted with Redknapp, Yakubus already going, I bet Berger will go as well, so Mandaric can remove all associations with Redknapp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edit: Get Dinning as well, on Loan and he's great, give him a contract and he's crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deancoles 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2005 I know it's awful for the players but as a fan I think all the players being released is great, us League 1 clubs are waiting for the bigger prem clubs to release their academy kids(we got Lita from Chelsea with this method) since the better players on frees wouldn't be interested unless they are local lads. Edit: We released a couple of players, none were really a surprise, I know Forest and Leciester released a load, any who'd realistically do a good job for us bearing in mind a commanding CB is what we really need.

Mystery Eskimo 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2005 http://skysports.planetfootball.com/list.a...nel=Premiership Weird to see Steve Stone go. He's been linked with us, believe it or not... We need someone to replace the 12 players we've released and the 5 available for transfer if anyone's stupid enough to want them. David Johnson to Hull, I was reading. That'd be funny. Until he scores past us. Apparently Adam Nowland is on the transfer list too. I didn't even know we'd signed him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deancoles 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2005 Hull are supposed to be getting Sam Parkin though and he's the best striker in our league while Johnson would be on double his wages with a bad injury record and has fallen out with a couple of managers. I Could see them after Lita as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Decemberists 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2005 Johnno's been linked with Hull for months, so I'd be surprised if there's nothing in it. I'm not 100% sure if you're joking about Nowland.... JK signed him for £250,000 from West Ham, and he then did his hamstring on his debut. On his return from injury... he did his hamstring again. And then in his first game back in the reserves... he did his hamstring. So it is infact wholey possible people don't know we've had him for six months.

deancoles 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2005 Is that the one who used to play for Wimbledon? There was an Adam Nowland on CM with great potential ability, I'd always get him,Reo-Coker,Mcanuff and Lionel Morgan on the cheap and most would fetch about 2.5 million or make the 1st team(usually Morgan and Mcanuff) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Decemberists 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2005 That's the one. He looked OK for the few minutes he played for us. Decent attacking midfeilder who could do a job. Missed two one on one's with the keeper though I think. Not exactly shedding tears he's leaving though, as 3 games in 6 months isn't really too great.

I remember him having a rep as a decent player so shame he didnt get more games. Can't imagine anyone paying money for him with that injury record. Apparently Doughty paid off a load more of debt so Forest should at least be safe from financial ruin next season. In theory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Decemberists 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2005 What Nigel's doing is that he's going to buyout the remianing 25% of the club he doesn't own, which apparantly is no problem as whoever owns it is more than happy to sell, and the pay off ALL the 'short term debt', which is everything except the Trend End loan off the council. with his own money. So as well as the £6.5m he gives us every year to keep us going, he's giving us an extra £10m or £15m to make us pretty much debt free. So that's at least one thing we'll have over Derby, who I think are still about £40m in debt and in big, big trouble if they don't win the play offs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deancoles 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2005 I'd rather have Darren Bent, he's younger and has never played for Bristol Rovers. Edit: Miller's in the Scotland squad, Aberdeen and Leicester are interested but neither can afford the fee, with Stewart coming in and his contract running out we pretty much have to shift him this summer.

deancoles 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2005 To be honest we need to get successful League 1/2 Players on a free instead of failed Prem/Championship ones for big money by our standards.We're getting Swindon's CB and Left Winger which is a good start, I'm just hoping Chelsea and Arsenal release some quality(at our level) Defenders/Midfielders from their Academies.

deancoles 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2005 With your Away record you should go through, any preference on who you play? If you do go through will Maclean be fit? you looked far better with him or Proudlock in the team when I've seen you play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2005 Maclean's out, a shame. Though Quinny has been playing his arse off recently, so I'd def. rate him above 'The Human Takeaway' Adam Proudlock. I'd say Hartlepool would be preferable, but Adam Effing Boyd got three past us when we took a trip to their place recently...I certainly fancy a win at Brentford.
