Augustus Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 We basically gave the league a 21 point head start as well with Hughton in charge and still walked promotion. Just trying to think if any other clubs needed to make back 21 points and how they got on... Comrade 86 and Red_Dawn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritstone Ram Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Any news on buying Lowe? How much are Utd asking for him? I think we’ve got a sell on clause. Make it a big offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it a big offer. Someone on our forum suggested £8m. No chance we'd pay that. Maybe £3m tops. To be honest I'm not sure he'd cut it in the Premier League, perhaps as a back up but he's been injured a lot this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But being 9 points behind the playoffs with 114 still to play for when Cooper took over really is one of the greatest footballing stories of all time.

I’m actually looking forward to then winning their first game, and the unbridled excitement, only to then lose 10 in a row and gone crashing back down to earth.

With such a sad existence, you deserve sympathy not stick and I for one am happy your team has got a bit of success after more than 2 decades. Just think how sad your life would have been without it - unfortunately it will be back to morbidity for you in 2023. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 It did leave a sour taste in my mouth on Sunday to see them clinch promotion. On one hand, I was happy for some of my mates who are red dogs to finally have a little bit of success but the majority's attitude towards our plight has been nothing short of foul. But on reflection, I'd say let them enjoy it for now... let's be honest they were damned lucky to get past either Sheffield united in the second leg and Huddersfield in the final. Watching the first leg, I thought they had a really good style and they seemed like a league above to Sheffield United but the second leg was absolutely shocking from them. The final, against a lackluster Huddersfield side was decided by an unfit hasbeen ref and poor use of VAR. They've got arguably the weakest squad to go up to the Premier League since Blackpool with influential players such as Spence and Garner on loan I can't see anything but a struggle for them. If they're lucky they might do a Sheffield united or a Leeds and have a solid first season whilst scraping by or dropping through the trap door in the second. I think what will be hilarious is the way a majority of Forest fans dramatise everything in their own tiny delusional heads which will make their likely relegation very sweet. You can already see it with their captain equating the club to a dog that has been kicked and treated badly to their fans moaning about their years of hurt and what their reaction will be when they don't storm the Premier League but come down quickly.

Comrade 86 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 He's constantly checking in too. Have to say I just find it weird and a tad creepy. Never visited their forum and doubt I ever will, let alone become some saddo stalker type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crewton Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 For a bit of perspective, when McClaren took over from Clough, we were 7 points off the playoffs after 9 games and thereafter picked 74 points in 37 games and finished 3rd. The only real difference is that Cooper had enormous luck in the PO Final and McClaren had appalling luck. I also think that Billy Davies getting us promoted (without the benefit of 4 PL loans) the season after Phil Brown almost got us relegated was probably a greater achievement than Cooper's.
