gbandit Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 If Forest aren’t interested in a player it’s a pretty huge indictment of their ability Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free transfer or small fee? Fair enough. But not for those numbers, and especially not to a direct rival. Small Fee? Wouldn't give them f*ck all following the screwing they tried over Lingard, prob did us a favour in reality Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Could be my memory playing tricks on me but whilst it started badly for Butt I'm sure he had a season and half/or two where he was actually good for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember exactly but sure it was after he came back from his season long loan at Birmingham (where ironically he fell out with Bruce after he picked his knacker of a son ahead of him) That season he played well as I remember a lot of fans saying he turned things around after the first season or two where he was horrific Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 When we signed Butt and Smith they were both still considered good players. That's what made their performances even sadder. At least we knew Obertan would be shit from the beginning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) It was just so baffling that Smith kept getting starts, there were rumours at the time that he had some kind of clause in his contract guaranteeing him starts and it really could have been possible because no manager could possibly watch him and then keep picking him unless he was compelled to.

LiquidAK Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Only Facebook group I ever started was the Nicky Butt Overhead Kick Appreciation Society. Some random bicey out near the touchline with no-one around him. Good times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 We signed Smith the summer I started following and besides Owen and Martins he was the only player I knew, so thought it was great despite what everyone else said. Learned from that quickly. Just puts the Championship at time into perspective, we romped the league and he started 31 times Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
