    One point above the relegation zone now. Would love to see him get relegated.

    I can see Birmingham going down with Blackburn. This is what can happen if you have mad foreign owners. Also, that's Leeds nudged out the play off places.

    The English lower leagues are always worth keeping an eye on at this time of year as teams jostle for play off/relegation places etc...their fans must be bricking it.

    The man's a petrofac cup winner ffs. He's got his eyes firmly fixed on the johnstones paint trophy-all he's got to do is get Forest down a division. He's the man for the job.

    Stokes double to keep Blackburn up and send Notts Forrest down. Pleasing.

    A club like Forest shouldn't be in that position. Then again, you can say the same of Villa, Birmingham, Derby, Wolves. All big, well supported midlands clubs that should be in the top flight. However, for a club as big as Forest to possibly end up in the third tier is shameful.

    Big teams with history, but run in to the ground by overspending. Now Zola who was brought by their new spivs in charge to replace a good manager has resigned at Birmingham (2 wins in 26?). However, surely Forest can't go down with an ex top city trader in charge? Or can they 😂

    Forest are a basket case right now - Warburton has jumped from the frying pan into the fire.

    Boo hoo.

    And owner of a hat that was once magic. Now called a hat. Could make all the difference.

    Respectfully, I hope fannys hat goes down. Remember it's Forest not Real Madrid. Welt.

    Whilst the hat was important, what also made the difference for Mr Hat was having players selected for him at Brentford by the "Moneyball" formula and all he had to do was coach. Brentford are 11th and again punching well above their weight with notable teams already mentioned flirting with relegation. Don't think any manager who has been in charge there (Rossler, Breadman) has succeeded since they left and went on to bigger jobs.

    Not the first time I've heard that.

    Tragic hats maybe just not much good as he flopped working the no money and no balls model at ibrox as well.

    Forest were playing in the third tier 10 years ago (spent 3 seasons there).

    No matter what happens to Warburton I would like to thank him.

    Thank you Magic Hat, for deeming Darren McGregor surplus to requirements (and replacing him with Clint "so slow it looks like he's buffering" Hill ) so he could come to us, become a Scottish Cup winning legend and seal our promotion


    Shine on you crazy diamond

    Forest playing Reading next..they will lose, that will take them into Bottom 3 I reckon and they will never get back out. With respect I find that amusing :)

    Really want Birmingham to go down!

    Rowett had them 7th, 3 points off 3rd, but his face didnt fit so they owners binned him.

    Brought in Zola, mid December, 2 wins in 24, 8% win rate and now struggling big time. Just appointed 'Arry Redknapp as manager to try and salvage their season!

    Stupid owners are ruining football down south, stupid buys, stupid appointments and sacking anyone that doesnt do well.

    Wigan deserve to go down as well, sacking Caldwell 6 months after he got them promoted! Disgusting way to treat a young manager.

    So, given Zola"s appalling managerial record do you think he will get another role?

    Don't care what Warburton does now. It would actually be quite funny if he goes on to be hugely successful while the Govanites continue to "spend" in their quest for 2nd place in Scotland.

    Probably, worse managers than him have gotten other jobs, such as Butcher...

    The Warbler said in his first interview after getting the Forest gig that he would definitely take them out of the division. Man of his word eh? 😂
    This is how it feels
