In todays Mirror..........

Manager Steve ­Cotterill was involved in a dressing-room ­bust-up with angry ­Nottingham Forest ­players last week.

The ugly exchange ­exploded at half-time during Forest’s FA Cup replay defeat at ­Leicester.

Cotterill, under mounting pressure after a ­series of poor performances, tore into his under-performing team in a heated exchange.

They were losing 2-0 at the time and eventually lost 4-0.

His volley sparked a response from members of the Forest squad, who hit back at their boss.

Eventually, peace was restored.

Forest last week ­recruited Sean O’Driscoll to their coaching staff in an attempt to calm ­internal club tensions.

I had a look on twitter under the #nffc tag and rumors are rife concerning several things...

1. between 5 and 7 players have handed in transfer requests

2. Raddi 300k to Leeds

3. Morgan offered an extra 10k a week by LCFC, however 2nd bid turned down by SC

Its like watching a disaster movie

Forest turned down 500k for Morgan who handed in a transfer request and is out of contract in the summer? ridiculous from them, obviously after all this STILL cannot do anything with a business mind on... they need the money, Morgan wants to go so how committed to the cause can he actually be?

They're in absolute **** and still make consistently dogshit decisions, one after another... 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

Sorry but I think them players sound like spoilt little brats, didn't they threaten to go on strike when McLaren was boss (alledgedly). There were rumours some of the players took a dislike to Billy Davies when he first took over.

Time they knuckled down and got on with what they're paid to do - playing football. Where's their self respect ffs.

Spot on. Pampered prima donnas springs to mind. Cotterills useless, but its the players who arent bothering to turn up week in week out.

My advice would be go to the first page of this thread and read the first 5 or so pages again.

It is the best thing i've done on the internet ever. On the Internet. Ever.

The only reason why florest got out of League 1 last time round was because of Doughty's money. Now he's gone along with any hope of the debts being written off, it looks like a longer spell in the lower leagues is on the cards.

Give it a while and the crippling debts and the lack of stadium ownership a merger with Notts County is a genuine and logical option. Here's to Notts Forest and their combined futures, one day they maybe able to compete with us again.

Forest have 24 points from 27 games.. From their remaining 19 games the need I'd say another 26 points (50 in total) to stay up.. The number of points seems to be getting lower and lower, Leicester going down on 52 points was clearly a one off but I feel this year might be another where the 21st placed team has around 50 points..

Anyway, 26 points from 19 is equal to 1.4 a game.. A record of W 7 D 5 L 7 should see them safe.. This is infact higher midtable form.. Over a season 1.4 points per game would get you 64 points which would be around an 11th or 12th place finish.. (When we did the list for points, it actually reads that it requires less points for Forest to stay up than it does for us to make the playoffs)

It's not all doom and gloom yet, it's easily achievable.. 2 back to back wins and they'll probably be out of the relegation zone.. 10 points from any 6 games also would probably see them start climbing.

And Forest do have many winnable games left.. In fact they've got all of their relegation rivals left to play at home, which is where they should be strongest.. Still to play they have..

Watford (H)

Coventry (H)

Donny (H)

Millwall (H)

Bristol City (H)

Pompey (H)

Us on the other hand have had 5 of those at home, winning all of them! So Forest can easily get themselves out of it.

The only bad side is those home games are massive as away from home they still have many tricky games left.. Reading, Palace, Derby, Leeds, Leicester, Middlesborough, Hull, Birmingham, Barnsley, Peterborough all away..

Big pressure on those home games against fellow relegation strugglers

Forest home form is far worse than the away, and by the sounds of it the morale of the team is ridiculously low, their home games are a selection of teams who are fighting relegation also, they're not going to make it easy for them, especially since a few of them have found some kind of form!
