Discuss Daniel Taylor's Thoughts

Surely you must be surprised though sniff, and EM must be livid that after spending over 100m in 4 years we are bottom of the championship.

Antonis has previously said the EM expected to be in Prem after 3 yrs.

Now we are in a dog fight just to stay in the League, and light years away from the Prem.

His biggest fault was putting his trust and backing in Vrentzos and Modesto.

Do you think he can get us into the Prem, and keep us there whilst delivering the re-development ?

Or do you think he’s decided enough is enough

I know that, in some respect, Marinakis' running of the club is a million miles away from Fawaz's - certainly in terms of paying bills on time, reputation with dealing with other clubs etc. However I do wonder if he shared a bit of Fawaz's naivety in how easy (or not as the case has been) to get out of the Championship. I mean, he's experienced pretty much constant success with Oly.

I think you're right, he might have thought getting a club like Forest back up from the 2nd division would be straightforward. A lot of football club owners have thought the same thing and become unstuck.

I'm amazed there's still this desire to buy championship clubs. They're absolute money pits. And if you do actually get one to the prem, all the money generated goes out again on transfer fees and in players' pockets. Unless you're the Glaziers and making an absolute killing by flogging a club brand like Man Utd, what's the point?

:cool:

He took a bet on the former 'World Famous City Ground' and it hasn't payed off. 

Yet.

 I can understand why he took the the challenge on.  No.1 in Greece.  Throw some millions at a 2nd Division club.  'We'll pish it.'

If Forest get to the Premier (proving quite the challenge...due to poor timing and impatience...) then I believe that they have a brand that is stronger than Chelsea's or Man City.

Forest (as a brand) hang with Liverpool or Man U.  And it is a heritage that was bestowed upon us by the Great Oak.
