News roundup: Pemberton on his way

It’s been a while … how you doing? Not much going on over here I’m afraid.

John Pemberton leaves the club as Sport Billy restructures his back-room staff. We’ve also got Bradford City in the first round of the Carling Cup.

Craig Armstrong (remember him?) joins Mansfield. And Ian Breckin has not been short of offers.

It looks like Dexter Blackstock may not be coming - as he looks forward to playing his former club in QPR’s pre-season.

However, we are after Donny’s Brian Stock and some say we are after style-over-substance winger Lee Martin - but I don’t believe that for a second.

Lastly, the excellent LTLF has an interview with James Perchio.

News roundup: full backs

It sounds like a right laugh at Spuz - just ask Michael Dawson. And speaking of ex-players, Norwich are looking for a million quid for Sammy Clingan.

Meanwhile, back at the City Ground, Sport Billy doesn’t see Joel Lynch as a priority signing. But Chris Gunter still wants to go out on loan next season and would be happy coming back to us.

News roundup: new strikers - Adebola and McGoldrick?

Been a couple of days since the last round-up, so here we go:

Richard Tait is out for revenge following his release.

Preston have rejected our bids for Paul McKenna.

Rob Earnshaw is an old man.

Billy Davies will be sending some of the kids, and others, out on loan this season.

Forest have bid £1 million for David McGoldrick (which will help Notts out too) - and it looks like the Blackstock link is going cold as QPR rebuild.

Lastly, showes99 says that Dele Adebola is arriving at the City Ground today - certainly, Garry Birtles believes that his signing is a done deal.

News roundup: Calderwood, Metgod, Cohen, Mills, Adebola and Jones

Colin Calderwood and Johnny Metgod are on the move - CC may be going to Chesterfield while Metgod is looking to join Nigel down the road.

Sport Billy wants to tie Chris Cohen down to a longer contract.

And he’s reportedly offering £1.5m for Donny defender Matthew Mills - although Brum are apparently going to offer £4m. He better be bloody good for that sort of money.

Dele Adebola has been offered a two year contract with “vast sums of money” to come and join us - which has discouraged our Brian and moneybags QPR from chasing his signature.

And lastly West Brom’s Tony Mowbray joins the Sheep, Dirty Leeds and us in the race for Rob Jones‘ signature (remembering that Mowbray brought Jones to Hibs in the first place).

Beating Derby 3 - 1

Niall Kennedy has just released a new eBook (in PDF/Adobe Acrobat format) detailing the early history of the FA Cup. Including our 1898 3-1 victory of the sheep botherers.
We beat the Sheep three one!
As Niall says:

First published in 1902 in the auspicious Strand magazine, The Teams that Won the World’s Greatest Football Competition 1871 - 1901 is a classic reprint of one of the earliest historical reference materials of the early years of the FA Cup and gives Forest historians and supporters the opportunity to own a really important historical account of the world’s greatest football competition and the first time we lifted the trophy. A time when Forest could claim to be the best team in the World.

More details at “The teams that won the world’s greatest football competition“.
