I bet she did! What a player❤️

One of your comments was on the men in blazers account on Instagram😅 @stevebattlemuch.bsky.social

And were wrong in all fairness. Scouser?

You’re underestimating or not appreciating what a great man he was too!

Pretty sure you’re in the absolute minority with this comment! There are some things he’d perhaps not have got away with in this day and age but he was an absolutely fantastic manager and a very well respected man and person to boot!

Cheat!!!!😂. Nige is one of my best ever players though😍

Was Nige in Turkey? Love the man❤️

Better than expected. They’re playing with freedom😂

Close!!!

Great half!!! #nffc

Very strong line-up! #nffc

Pereira, the Fenerbahce years: Going AWOL, Van Persie and Ozil troubles, and an unlikely return

It's the Turkish football-Nottingham Forest Venn diagram - or the piece I was always going to write.

On Vitor Pereira's two spells at Fenerbahce. Some good, some bad, some lively.

Edu has been marginalised at Nottingham Forest. His exit feels inevitable Brazilian’s role as global head of football is under such scrutiny that he was not even consulted about the sacking of Sean Dyche

#nffc Edu has been marginalised at Nottingham Forest. His exit feels inevitable www.telegraph.co.uk/football/202...

Even now with Nuno gone, Edu has been marginalised and is nowhere near key decisions. When Sean Dyche was sacked last week, it is alleged that Edu was not even consulted or present in discussions.

It has backfired to such an extent, however, that the Brazilian is now under huge pressure to retain his job. Sources with knowledge of Forest’s operations believe it is a matter of when, not if, he leaves the club.

Yeah, only at Forest😅

Good news to wake up to! Edu seems to be on his way out according to John Percy🤞🏽 #nffc

I totally understand that! I’d be happy to fall asleep until May and then wake up to find we’d stayed up on goal difference. This season would then definitely be one I’d erase from memory.

Sounds really harsh but me and my footy friends just sarcastically laugh about it all. I absolutely don’t want us to get relegated as that would be a disaster but I’m quite blasé about it all now.

Shows stats mean little to be fair.

Your original post put Nuno as the most to blame which is crazy!

Not sure many jobs compare to that of a premier league manager. I’m sure you just have to find someone outside Forest to blame but unfortunately your hate needs to be closer to home whether you accept it or not.

WTF! Just move on from Nuno. This isn’t on him😂

I stuck my last job for a month until I realised the woman I was working with was a bitch and I knew I needed to move on. I get it!

Would you if you were in a job where you knew you wouldn’t succeed unless you knew you were being backed and had the resources to do better! I certainly wouldn’t! Don’t care what anyone says to be honest, I’m fully behind Nuno, don’t blame him and back him 100%.

What was the right way?

Nuno wasn’t backed with the players he felt we needed to kick on in the league and he was right! Edu is a dud who was employed by Marinakis. I’d have wanted out if I were Nuno.

Because of what was going on behind the scenes😅. I guess it’s easy to blame someone that’s no longer at the club but ultimately it’s down to Marinakis employing the wrong people in Edu, then Ange and Dyche! Nuno was brilliant for us!

You’re saying you knew Elanga was leaving??!! I’d say that was a surprise to most fans! Very different to the players probably leaving this year. But what difference does that make? Nuno wanted different players and so far, he’s right!
