1865: Nottingham Forest Football Club in the Coca Cola Championship
 

Earnshaw not a-loan

Forest have made their second signing of the summer, with the season-long capture of Paul Anderson from Liverpool. The young winger spent last season at Swansea, who were apparently very keen to keep him for another year. The fact that Anderson is from Melton Mowbray cannot have hurt, although he had reportedly expressed an interest [...]

Grant is gone

Grant Holt has moved to Shrewsbury; according to the Official Site the fee was “undisclosed”, but according to the BBC it was £170k – seems like a fair fee. The main surprise is that he has moved down to League Two – maybe he feels he can be the main striker for the Shrews, score [...]

New kit preview

I may very well be breaking copyright, but a sneak preview of the new home kit has emerged, with sleeves not quite long enough to cover Kelvin’s left arm tattoo!

News and rumours…

Apparently the Reds were interested in signing Lee Holmes from the Sheep, who spent much of last season on loan to Walsall, but has now gone to Southampton… I have no idea whether Brett Ormerod was going to sign permanently (I guess probably not), but it doesn’t look like PNE want to let him go…What [...]

You cannot make this up

I don’t want to dwell too much on the transfer of self-proclaimed “Forest supporter” Kris Commons, but it was highly amusing to read Paul Jewell’s thoughts: “When I met him I was also impressed with his hunger…” Fat lads think alike, I suppose… Interestingly, the picture on the Derby website shows Kris in a Forest [...]

Commons goes to Derby County

Or stinking Judas waddles to the sheep as I prefer to call it.
