Sick of it. Makes promotion claims a sick joke, you can't pretend to be serious about going up with such negativity. I'm thinking that Dane Murphy won't accept it.
Who is saying we're serious about promotion this year?
So are we not?
How can we be? We only have half a team and we can't compete financially with the parachute payment teams. I think we can be serious about finishing top half... :D

That’s the kind of attitude is why we never do anything. :sleepy:
Be interesting to know if the owner wants promotion, or if he is happy with mid table obscurity
RE: Coventry City - Nottingham Forest - Ciscokid - 09-08-2021
I wasn't saying that it had been stated. More I was suggesting that after all this time, year after year of hoping then struggling and failing again and then again that it should be stated. It should be a declared policy, an objective, a plan to be promoted. If not then be honest and say we're ok where we are and live with it. Right now it's a fudge, neither here nor there.

Ha if there's one problem we definitely do not have, it's that fans aren't demanding enough at Forest!
This is exactly what's been wrong with us for years, we need to be willing to build long term teams like Brentford and Leeds did. Not just keep trying to gain promotion optimistically by just buying lots of players. I thought this is what everyone wanted

I think it would be helpful to know what the plan is I agree rather than just speculation. I guess maybe Dane needs a bit more time to establish this strategy before voicing it to the fans?

A good analysis to read from Forest Boffin.
