It's written by a Forest fan, as you can tell by reading it, so if you roll it gently back onto the cardboard tube you'll be able to use it just fine.

We need to wake up to the man our owner is I'm afraid. It really is all about him.

What actually has he said that’s not true?
Oh yes - you can tell he’s a Forest fan because he says so you don’t have to “tell”. I love Notts and it p*sses me off that we Notts fans manage to make so many other clubs hate/ despise Notts County. So arrogant with nothing to be arrogant about. We’re 92nd and need all the friends we can get. Going out the League will be bad enough but knowing so many people will be happy about it makes it worse. “No one likes us we don’t care” isn’t our motto is it?

Who actually “hates” us though really ?

Hardy is OTT i’ll give him that but it’s only a matter of time before Forest fans are calling out the Greek owner if he doesn’t take them where they think they belong.

...if he doesn’t take them where they think they belong.

To be honest I can't see them ever actually winning the World Cup regardless of ownership

Where does that come from? I don't think we're hated or despised at all apart from the usual handful of keyboard warriors that every club seems to attract. In my experience the vast majority of footy fans look at us with a bemused sense of pity, wondering like most of us just how this club has managed to sink so low.

Exactly this. Apart from a vocal minority/majority (I honestly don't know) of Mansfield fans, nobody hates us. Most Forest fans just have that 'beg at my table and I'll give you some scraps, if you're a good boy' attitude (like the author of this piece), but it's more arrogance than hatred. And in the wider footballing world, I'd say we are viewed by many as a friendly, traditional, family club with a rather unique heritage. I think most football fans would be sad at what's happening to us - watch how the national media reacts if/when we go down.

As I said in another thread AH can clear up any defamation in court.

Some serious things have to be wrong for him to have put so much into the club and got so little out of it.

If he takes us down, he needs calling out for it. The biggest issue for me is boasting about Paragon whilst Notts burn. He's an utter ****.
