@danscapephoto @maxbscott The interesting thing for us is that we don’t ‘need’ to improve the first 11 - that should be an aim of course. But a step change comes by improving the second 11.

@danscapephoto @maxbscott It appeared he wanted Ange once Nuno was out, not the other way round no? Marinakis’s is our dance with the devil, the driver of the last 5 years success and drama. Substantially more good for us than bad for us though? We’ve got a chance of another good season next. A chance…

Despite the wonderful season Nuno had at Forest, stories like this shine a light on the ego which played a part in his departure from the club. It takes two to tango and right now, Nuno is reaping what he sowed.

Alright Thomas, joke’s over. Tell us the real squad now.

@forestfocuspod @MattDavies_FF @petermblackburn As an aside, we should sign John Stones as an experienced head alongside our younger CH options.

@jjmeemaa @danscapephoto Very true and a good observation.

@TrickyInExile @danscapephoto Yeah absolutely The good thing is he seems to have left made clubs on good terms..notably Fenerbache and Porto Not many managers get the kind of welcome and reception he did when in the oppo dug out

Best way to level up these days is to go out the cup comps early and make the most of playing up to 23 games, yes 23 games less than your rivals. Over a 9 month season, that’s potentially 2.5 games fewer each month to plan and recover around. Does Iraola ball work with an extra 10+ games in the middle of the season at Bournemouth? Is it a surprise they have finished the season stronger than teams around them? If clubs are smart when not in Europe they can absolutely take advantage. The difficult bit if then how to cope sustainably with the extra demands. #nffc

@jjmeemaa @danscapephoto Agreed re Wolves and re other clubs losing managers (an opportunity maybe for us to benefit from stability). It’s more understanding why he’s been short term almost everywhere and what’s needed to make it work longer (if not long) term.

@TrickyInExile @danscapephoto Your question is legitimate In my mind what happened at Wolves, whilst having some relevance, is also at a different club (on a downward spiral) Agree ideally we need some stability. But even ‘successful’ ‘well run’ clubs in the prem are losing their managers this summer

@jjmeemaa @danscapephoto He’s done a terrific job the last few months, so deserves the chance. It needs deep thought and planning on what will enable success. Or we’re just back at the pre-Cooper roulette table again.

@jjmeemaa @danscapephoto In any profession there are people who are expert interims but terrible fill time employees; and vice versa. It doesn’t make either bad. But if you want the interim to be long term, particularly in an environment when almost everything else is in constant flux, it needs more than

@forestfocuspod whatever happens at the weekend, the reality is we actually secured promotion when we emphatically beat Sunderland. After that win we were uncatchable by West Ham.

@forestfocuspod @MikeyClarke22 As an ‘extended interview’ he’s probably proved himself in every aspect. And certainly can’t help warming to him, as the players seem to have too. That nagging doubt because of his short-term background, but unless we could get say an Iraola then right to stick. Good decisiveness

The sensible move from #nffc given the excellent job Vitor Pereira has done since his arrival?

Rayner has been cleared, but the media ran 30 front pages in total, averaging 4 front pages a day during the peak of the story. Farage's £5 million gift has had two front page stories. Why would there be such a difference in reporting standards for the two?

@forestfocuspod @MattDavies_FF @gergmitch @samhcollins_ Whilst there has been undoubted improvement to The City Ground and Training Ground, is the lack of fundamental spades in the ground as we enter our 5th year in the PL a fundamental miss in making us a truly sustainable PL club and builds in constant jeopardy?

We'll be recording our regular listener Q&A soon. If you have any #nffc questions you'd like us to tackle, drop them in the comments below. 🙏 @MattDavies_FF will be joined by @gergmitch and @samhcollins_.

@petermblackburn Usually sympathetic to the difficulty of making early summer signings, particularly with WC. But this summer need decisiveness firstly on the manager and then getting players in for a strong pre-season. Too many well managed clubs in PL to risk it again.

@TrickyInExile Agree almost word for word.

So perfectly fitting for Elliot Anderson to deliver the moment that secures survival for #NFFC. A privilege to have watched him play for us. Baffling season but Pereira delivered a European semi and PL comfort that could hardly have been foreseen when he arrived. COYR. #NFFC

@NewStatesman @DantonsHead Manchester gets a lot of congratulations for a bus system that Nottingham has had for decades. I’m glad they now have the same.

THE CASE FOR MANCHESTERISM by @DantonsHead Ask someone in Wythenshawe or Rochdale whether the buses are better than they were three years ago and they will say yes. Greater Manchester’s Bee Network is the most instructive public transport experiment in Britain not because it is radical in design but because it works. Since franchising began under Andy Burnham’s leadership, passenger numbers have risen for the first time in a generation. Routes have expanded into communities that private operators had abandoned as insufficiently profitable. Fares are capped at levels the deregulated system could not deliver. The model is now spreading. A public operator optimising for coverage and frequency rather than fare recovery serves a social need that private calculation screens out, while reducing system costs through public coordination. Manchesterism  works. Public control of essentials reduces the cost of provision by eliminating the privatisation premium and lowering coordination frictions, which in turn reduces the fiscal transfers required to make essentials accessible – progressively deflating the upward pressure on public spending that currently exposes the country to the harsh judgement of bond markets. Rebuilding public provision is not the alternative to fiscal prudence. It is fiscal prudence. What has been done for buses can be done with similar ambition for energy, water, housing, and care. The architecture operates at multiple scales simultaneously: national corporations for network infrastructure like energy and water, regional and municipal authorities for transport and housing, municipal providers for care and local services. The institutional template is already being built, sector by sector, in the places that have chosen to reclaim public control. That is why this is an argument for Manchesterism rather than a blueprint for Whitehall – its political character is decentralised, plural and democratically accountable. The question is whether national politics has the ambition to match it.

@ChatForest1865 @J_BParker @MattDavies_FF @forestfocuspod The biggest reason was that we do not have a squad that can lose all of MGW, Aina, Sangare, Murrillo and (lesser extent) CHO and compete at the level Villa showed. With them we can, without… I don’t think blaming those who played last night or the manager gets you to a solution.

@J_BParker @MattDavies_FF @forestfocuspod Agree with that .. but we’ve been out manoeuvred tonight. We’ve not had a second on the ball all night. I think unfortunately we’ve just seen the difference between a World Class coach and Pereira. And there’s no shame in that. We’ve had 4 of the fuckers in a season.

I hope @MattDavies_FF on @forestfocuspod absolutely rips the Forest players to shreds tonight, they've been an absolute disgrace. #NFFC
