Actions speak louder than words. If they don't, Aitor will get the sack.
I used to like Billy's interviews. Feisty. But he could be evasive too. Aren't all managers?
Aitor maybe guarded. Why not? The media are waiting to hang him with his words. So I guess he chooses them wisely. As he often, rightly points out, his focus is in preparing for the next match and the matters that are within his control. Those other matters are down to the hierarchy to sort. (Now that Forest actually have people in place to run the club...) I'm sure when the new striker is signed and seal on the web site and had a few training sessions Aitor may well talk about him. When there is official news to report. But he did say a few things about the said player. Boilerplate 'He's a good player and I've said if a good player comes along etc.'
The purchase of Car' is a record breaking £13 million. Forest get props for ambition. Whether it works out or not is up to Lady Fickle Fate of Football.
Warburton. Was found out. Forest were pressed, bullied... and once opposition teams got the first goal there was no coming back. Sacked after some dire Christmas performances, it seemed if the players were frightened to play and 'dark forces' sited by Worrall in the dressing room. Forest went into a nose dive spiral that we've seen before in relegation seasons.
Some nice tippy tappy stuff but I'm not sure he had all the players to do it...and no Championship manager is going to be given three years to find out if he could succeed with his 'youth first' (and some Scottish players transfer) policy. ...and if you don't get along with the hierarchy on recruitment (or anything!) and if your performances don't match your 'confidence' then it's ripe for a sacking. That said, I'll be surprised if Aitor gets three years. (Given Forest's recent history of sackings...I've been amazed he's lasted this long...) How managers do get three years?
Are Forest better under Karanka? Well, be nice if he got an actual full season so we can find out.
Brereton & Assomolonga. The club received £7.5 million(?) and £14 million (?) ie. £20 million for a young player who didn't pull up any trees last season and the other player had a career threatening knee injury.
Shelved under 'Good Business.' That's the kind of money that a club in the Championship just can't turn down. That kind of money pays for a squad overhaul.
Or in this year's work. £7.5 million for Bre' takes Forest's spending down from £22 million(?) to 'just' £15 million. Which...should keep Forest 'good' in terms of FFP.
I didn't want either sold. However, Forest's survival comes first.

agree it would be nice to have interviews with some other people too. they could give us a fuller overview of the club and how tis running. cant see that they would comment or contradict too much what AK says though.
im sure some on here have way more insight into how our greek owners operate but i cant believe its all AK making the decisions re players coming in. they seem to shrood for that. they way we go through managers you have to have the club signing off on players as the next manager will need to play the same system that incorporates these players. cant shift 30 odd players in and out every year.
