Nottingham council have called Forest’s bluff over their cash crisis, leaving Al Needham and many fellow fans in no doubt as to who is to blame for the problems at the City ground
It’s no fun at all being a supporter of Nottingham Forest these days, but their latest twirl on the morbid carousel of financial mismanagement takes the biscuit, if not the whole packet. You’ll remember Forest – big club last century, won a few things, endearingly bonkers manager, held the world’s most jubilant relegation party, yo-yoed between the Premiership and the First Division for a bit under assorted bosses. At time of writing, they have just hauled themselves out of a winless streak spanning 18 games and are staring relegation to the Second Division squarely in the face – but at least we could take comfort in the fact that we weren’t as financially ravaged as Notts County.
