What a bunch of selfish @@!!@

I listened to his interview. He said he'd made a financial commitment to the club and was happy to honour it. That will become diluted as FFP comes in.

He didn't say he was going to pull any money out.

Only saying I think your point regarding spending what we have will come true.
Yes Doughty will hour his financial commitment and thank goodness he is or we would be right in the shi..t.

But if you think he is going to go above what he has to commit to I would say is wring.
My opinion, but would you dig deep for a club who's fans have ousted you out?

ND
Marthur
McClaren






































King Billy

Nothings changed. He's willing to support the club financially, but hed scaling down to comply with FFP. The only thing that's different is he's not making the decisions. He admit himself he's made bad ones.

People going on like a few idiots have spoiled it for the rest. The rest being the more enlightend, intelligent fans, as some are doing is unfair.

The result of FFP may well be the end of the opportunity for three teams to go up?..............................and three rich teams to come down...............................while the rest of us manage on our gate money???????????????

Could be one down one up with a Prem play off to see who goes down??????????????????????

It's pretty idiotic to say that nothing has changed.
And your even more of a p.rat if you think there will be the same level of financial commitment with loan signings etc if Doughty didn't stand down and the protests didn't happen.

In the words of our club captain who nows a little more about the goings on at the club than any of us...

"Who would replace Nigel Doughty and put in the money he has over the years? For me, some of the criticism he has come in for is unjust.

"the protesters?"

OK, Sutton, you for starters

And to be £60/70m in debt whilst mainly being rubbish is an amazing achievement

You insist on linking our lack of success under Doughty (agreed!) with the debt to Doughty accumulated over the years.

I can see why fans' frustration has come to a head - ND always seems to lose his nerve just when we need to spend a bit more to get us over the line. But we can't have it both ways.

We could argue that he should have spent less and appointed only unknown young managers who could bring Academy players through and spot lower league talent, rigorously balancing the books. But we've all wanted him to spend more. We can't turn round now and slag him off for bankrolling the club - but some critics talk as if he's stolen £60 million from Forest!

Not you, maybe - but you still feel the need to have a dig. Are you saying he shouldn't have bankrolled us?

Unless NDs lying (he wouldn't lie to fans, would he?) little has changed.


Maybe it might cost us a few loan signings in the short term but after 12 years I think it's fair that fans should have there say.

Our captain also said the manager was promised things he didn't get. That's what kicked all this off. That why we ate where we are and probably won't make the most if two good seasons. That's his fault and he admits it. So how about placing blame where it lies, instead of having forest fans sniping at each other.

He's made mistakes and as I stated above, we have had more downs than ups.
But my personal opinion is the protest is a untasteful way to treat the guy.
Only time will tell if this is going to be detrimental to the club in the short and long term.

For a start I didn't protest. I was in favour of one. But when I got there they were chanting about Billy. Which I thought was daft. So I went back to my mates in the pub.

I'm grateful to him for putting money in. All I'm saying is for that level of investment the club should have done much better.

Whenever I talk about ND it's always about money. shouldn't be. The money's not the issue, I don't fault him for that. Its his decisions, this mess with McClaren, three years in league 1, not backing Paul hart, appointing the dross managers we've had. That's why I have a dig.
