Nottingham Forest suffer from the same egotistical problems Yes, this is exactly what I alluded to in my post earlier. Like a section of their reasoning is missing. Whilst they were having their glory years, we weren’t that far behind. They are miles from us now. It’s going to take them a considerable number years, and that’s if they are lucky.

WD40 720 Posted February 17, 2021 It’s not the nicest aspect of humanity, but isn’t it just so bloody satisfying to see your ex doing much worse than you post break up. And to have them tear apart another you despise is icing on the cake. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh dear. The consolation is that it deflects from Lambert and his current situation, so we can be grateful for that. I do wonder what excuse/diversion Lambert has up his sleeve for Saturday, when they will be 3 goals down to Oxford, with 5 minutes to go? Collapsing goalposts? Meteors? Pulling the fuse out for the floodlights? Anything which was about to precede the 'greatest comeback since Lazarus' no doubt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,168 Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) It all amounts to the long-standing fantasy that they are some sort of sleeping giant. Even if this were to be the case then surely only Rip Van Winkle slept longer. It won't be long now before they start preparing the flags, bunting, banners and light aircraft in order to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of that F.A. Cup win or of them becoming 'Champions of Europe' (UEFA Cup note!) Achievements that made them a world famous household name and everybody's favourite second club. Street parties, an open top bus parade, brass bands and Cardinal Park themed to all things ITFC might well be on the cards. Perhaps the Red Arrows could fly over the town. Perhaps they may even consider commissioning yet another statue, but with so may worthies they'd need a poll to decide upon the subject. I'd vote for Paul Lambert; or perhaps a replica of Alan Brazil blocking the entrance to he car park may be appropriate. Of course, they could be League 2 by then, or even worse, so should well instead dwell upon the words of Bruce Springsteen and get real for once: “Now I think I’m going down to the well tonight and I’m going to drink till I get my fill.And I hope when I get old I don’t sit around thinking about it, but I probably will. Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture a little of the glory of, well time slips away and leaves you with nothing, mister but boring stories of … glory days."

Ken Hairy 3,772 Posted February 18, 2021 There's a post on there dedicated to getting in Nigel Pearson too, they really are deluded to the level they're at. The best thing about when Lambert finally goes, is the best I can see them getting is someone like Steve Evans, which would be pure comedy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,168 Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) I'm thinking that Evans might well go for some of the old brigade. Dwyer or even Butcher or whoever is up for it, purely just to get the fans back onside. The antagonism toward him, and the club in general, that has built up amongst the town faithful over the last few years has reached mammoth proportions. It will be reflected in season ticket sales which could be an embarrassment should Lambert be retained and another season of League One misery is on offer. That is now his biggest problem as far as ITFC goes. I should imagine that the manner in which pandemic restrictions have inhibited the hospitality arm oif his 'empire' is foremost in his mind though. He certainly seems to devote little time, thought or even concern for that "little club down the road" these days. He's probably even forgotten exactly where Portman Road is as he manupulates his pennies whilst relaxing in his chosen tax haven .

I think Keiron Dyer is the U23s coach and Terry Butcher is working for the club in some capacity, so I could certainly see them going for a Dyer+Butcher combination to appease the fans. Can't see them doing any better though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
