I thought large parts of ot were nonsense. An article based on heresay and gossip designed to do damage.

Will it improve relations between the players and the club? No. Will it make CH's job easier? No. Will it make a win tonight more likely? No. Will it make yhe club nore attractive to potential new signings? No.

Will it generally create more unease among fans,  players,  staff,  sponsers? Yes. If he's such a big forest fan why run the story?

Obviously part of the reason will be to generate business for his employers, however I imagine that in part it's because he's a Forest fan that he's felt he's had to tell the story.

He wants us to be successful. To do that we have to change certain things, our strategy regards to recruitment and continuity being probably the biggest of those things. If he thinks - rightly or wrongly - that he can help bring about that change by publishing the article then I don't blame him one bit for doing so.

I wish I shared your optimism. I just think it helps in no way and just makes CH's job even harder. Are the players likely to be motivated or disillusioned today reading that, with a tough match to concentrate on tonight?

The issues seem to run deeper than just one match though. Apart from the close season we're always on the verge of the next match so this is as good a time to release the article as any. If the players are professional this won't affect them one bit.
