nufcjb Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Absolutely want Forest back in the Prem. How long has it been now since they last played in the PL? To be honest, I didn't want Fulham back. I'd rather one of the older Prem clubs like Forest or even a newcomer like Luton to come up. Wouldn't mind Boro either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bournemouth win they are up, if Forest win then it's massively advantage Forest on the final day, and if they draw, then it's as you were, still advantage Bournemouth, but a tougher looking final day match. In some ways it would have been better if it was the actual final match of the season itself, but at the same time, at least we get a massively high stakes match, rather than it potentially not happening if results in match day 45 went a different way. It sounds strange, but I've warmed to Forest a bit since our takeover, and their great league and especially cup run. They are obviously a significant / traditional club and would offer the Premier League far more than some of the clubs currently there, but when the apathy was in full flow, and we were just stinking out the league looking to finish 17th, I couldn't really be bothered with another club like that buzzing and being delighted to be back, whereas now my mindset is different and I wish them well, if that makes sense. Cooper has done an absolutely remarkable job there. Think they were in the relegation spots when he took over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, they got 1 point from their first seven matches under Hughton, sacked him, and haven't looked back since. I really like Chris, but that's an astonishing turnaround.

toon25 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Fulham coming back up is a bit shit tbh, and points to a growing number of Champo clubs that basically survive by just yo-yo-ing between the Champo and PL. Norwich, Watford, West Brom, Fulham et al. Hope it won't always be a different combo of the same old clubs going down and coming back up, but I suppose the parachute payments has a lot to do with relative spending power and wages for new players etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Forest were last in the PL in 1998/99, so have been out 23 years. I can just about remember them there, although they were a bit of a yo-yo club at the time, so wasn't really shocking stuff when they last went down, but obviously anyone under 30 won't can remember them there, so it will be good to have them back. Another big city club with good history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting it in that perspective has made me a bit more accepting of the fact. That being said, I'd love to see Forest back in the PL. Weird to think I remember them so firmly as a PL team just because they were in my first Panini sticker albums, even though I only turned 10 in their last PL season. It's just what those formative years do to you, I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bintang Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Forest back up please. Won the European and league so have some history. I don't want the same handful of clubs yo-yoing and happy to pick up parachute payments every couple of years. There seems to be like a mini league developing of clubs hovering around the top of the championship/ bottom of the premier league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 They've got guaranteed 21st Reading at home on the last day, so still in a good position, and certainly in their hands, but any further goal they concede gives Boro, and even Millwall, a bit more hope.
