Different styles, similar results. Spiteful neglect vs egotistical over-interference. 

 

Aye, feels like two sides of the same shithead coin. But fuck me, did he inherit his money or something? They were so close to being the third team to challenge the status quo and he absolutely fucked it for no reason other than his ego.

Just think Onassis. Same thing, just a different, slightly less globally well known name.

The US has tech and media oligarchs, Greece has shipowners.  And yes it gets passed down the line, usually with a lot of soap opera type dramas along the way.

Kinnear [emoji38] still incredible we appointed him, not once, but twice.

 

Remember when he did that interview saying he's got a new contract unsigned in his desk for the future.


What an era :lol:

He's been linked to heroin being smuggled by the ports in Greece multiple times - tonnes worth. On top of bribery and murder, I have no idea how this guy passed the fit and proper test the EPL have set. He's an actual gangster.

Absolutely love Mr Marinakis and his chaos

 

Personally hope Forest don't get relegated as he brings a genuine madness to the league

 

Hopefully they stay up but beneath WHU, and Brighton or Spurs drop.

We would have all yearned for Marinakas to be our chairman and perform long overdue firings on Pardew and Bruce during the awful long winless runs we had to endure during the Ashley era.

 

He's a complete moron but I think it's more incompetence and really bad knee jerk attempts to get it right at Forest. Ashley wanted us to be a low maintenance bottom half PL side and had no intention of getting it right.

Is that Forest cunt worse than Ashley?

Not at all. Nowhere near.

 

Ashley took a mean 5 season rolling finish of about 7th to relegated twice average rolling position 16th or something.

 

Forest have gone from 30-40 something in the pyramid to top 17. Nothing alike.

He's much more a Jesus Gil than an Ashley. Marinakis wants the best for the club, maybe too much so that he can't take percieved setbacks. Ashley would resent us going above the level he's prescribed for us, like the clubs had too much money and he less if we were 10th when we could budget more and be 14th

Football clubs should be allowed a maximum of one sacking per season. Once you’ve sacked a manager, you’re stuck with the replacement until the following season.

I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Forest. Loved Stuart Pearce and Brian Clough, then they had a good side under Frank Clark.

I wish we could get some answers on the Anderson deal. Whoever let that happen folded so badly it’s embarrassing. Essentially we got 15 mil for a homegrown very highly rated (just under probably) top tier young talent. And no clauses. Thats the behaviour of a club with no options, thats facing administration, not a club with the weight of a nation’s oil money behind it. It seems like the owners away and execs are just backstabbing trying to get power and there’s no hierarchy, structure or plan. Think the board need to be flown out to the kingdom , shown what the stadiums are used for on non match days and told to get to work.

I think the reality is most clubs were happy to see us suffer a 10 point deduction which would have had a huge effect on the season and probably unsettled some of the top stars. Forest were in a similar position and we did the necessary. Anderson’s stock is a lot higher now than it was then. He was played as a winger/forward thinking midfielder, whether he would have done what he has done at Forest here is very debatable.

 

Of course it looks shit in hindsight

Tbf, at the time, I doubt anyone thought he was worth more than 20-25m.

There's no correlation between Ashley and Marinakis at all. Imagine Ashley spending £180M on us the first season we went up to ensure we stay up. Marinakis is bat shit mental but he genuinely does want the club to progress/increase in value.

 

We had Charnley doing 6 jobs for 1 salary.

Ange is loving this.:lol: Instanly going on the Overlap to talk about how hard it is for managers there. Ofcourse he has a point, but he was still shit.

He has a point here, though. The cartel is really made of 5 clubs, not 6. Tottenham have a bigger budget than us, but they have still struggled to land top signings in the same way that we do, due to wage cap etc.
