Word just in that Nottingham Forest are set to recall Jorge Grant from his loan at Notts County as Bradford City bid £500,000. #NFFC #BCFC #ncfc #NottsForest
It has been my concern for a while that some people may have forgotten that Forest are a bunch of c**ts.
This is all a good reminder that Forest are in fact a bunch of c**ts.
Like getting in a new striker, I hope we’re at least somewhat prepared for this eventuality.
It's not something that I had forgotten.
It's a shame Alan Hardy had to find out the hard way though. Maybe it will renew his determination to get us above them. Pavis always had that motivation because of the way they treated him.
I don't think Grant is worth 500K, btw.

A lot of fans will feel this way about it, but to my mind it's just the football business. There's no sentiment.
Forest loaned us Grant and Yates because they didn't need them for their first-team, but knew that match time at Notts would either develop them into stronger first-team candidates or put them in the shop window. It was a decision to suit Forest, which happened to help us. There probably was a friendly understanding between Warburton and Nolan to a degree, but Warburton has gone and now Karanka has his own ideas, and these are his players to do with as he likes. Clearly, we didn't have any water-tight, written agreement to keep them here, so it's simply a case of changing situations. We don't owe Forest any overwhelming gratitude for loaning the players, but they don't owe us anything either.
Pierce Bird has just gone on loan to Alfreton and hopefully he will be a star there and become an integral part of their team, but it's the same situation. We've lent him to Alfreton because we feel it will be in his and our long term interests, and if we have a shortage of centre halves over the next few months we'll no doubt recall him, whether it damages Alfreton's first team or not. It's football business, pure and simple. There's nothing especially honourable or dishonourable about it.

What really annoys me is forest should be a league 1 team, for 2 reasons
1) last season stayed up because of the 3 points they got against Newcastle , who were unfairly reduced to 9 men, later overturned.Forest would have never got 3 points if it was 11 against 11, and been relegated
2) A number of years ago when Forest actually were promoted automatically from League 1 in 3rd place, because Leeds united had points took off them. Forest would never have gone up in the play offs
Twice they got away with it
