As we embark on a week that sees us head back into European football it’s imperative that we remember our roots and don’t turn into one of those clubs that become entitled and ungrateful.
4 years ago, this man joined us and started us on this amazing journey.
Coops, you will always have a special place in our hearts. #NFFC
What was your favourite Cooper moment?
Right #cpfc fans. We don't hate you, we never have. Personally I've always liked to see Palace do well. We just want Parish to take some responsibility and stop blaming our owner. I must admit though, I am thoroughly enjoying the banter on here. #NFFC
@adamwiklo I agree with that, he’s too slow when it comes to attacking. Can’t turn the play around quick enough and is negative at times. But I don’t think he’ll be going anywhere for a long time hopefully.
Dear @TalkCPFC & @HLTCO - #NFFC fan here coming to you in peace.
I, like many other Forest fans were made up for #CPFC winning the Cup and doing a number on one of the so called ‘big 6’ who seem to operate under different rules to the rest of us.
In the same way you can’t control who invests money and holds shares in your club and when they read their emails, I/we (Forest fans collectively) similarly can’t control who our ownership decides to do transfer dealings with, or who they choose to write letters to and about what.
So us all being at loggerheads is pointless.
IF it transpires after your CAS appeal that, (as it currently appears is the case), Parish & Co dropped the ball on this MCO rules situation, and that prevents you guys from being permitted to play in the Europa League, then that is genuinely unfortunate for all associated with your club.
For what it’s worth, the rules seem somewhat farcical in that by the time the Europa League kicks off in earnest, as I understand it, Textor won’t be involved with either Palace or Lyon, so we ABSOLUTELY get your frustrations in that regard.
I think almost all of us would agree that gaining entry to elite competitions should be based on sporting merit rather than administrative upkeep.
However, as we all know (particularly at Forest from our own recent experiences), football is, unfortunately, no longer as simple as that.
What I think narks us a little bit is that we (not as fans) but as a club seem to be being used as a scapegoat by your Chairman for his/his ownership group’s administrative failings.
Say what you like about our owner (he has pretty thick skin by all accounts so I’m sure he’ll not mind too much), but the steps he took regarding his shares in Forest and the blind trust business and when he did or didn’t do it, was absolutely nothing to do with Palace and their participation (or not) in any competition.
It is widely known that extensions could be sought on this arbitrary March 1st deadline for making the necessary arrangements to comply with MCO rules. He chose to do that, Parish didn’t.
To suggest you/Parish ‘broke the rules’ and we didn’t is I think unfair and inaccurate. It’s obvious that Palace have not deliberately sought to gain any advantage from their lack of action.
The simple truth is that Parish & Co fell asleep at the wheel and have seemingly veered off the road to Europa as a result.
We, by chance, just happened to be in the car behind you. That is all.
Wishing you all the very best for the season ahead. Whichever European competition you end up in.
I know for certain that we’ll have a ball regardless!
Two weeks before the news broke that Palace being part of a multi club would cost their Europe League place he was bragging about using it to their advantage 😭😭😭
Now all of a sudden it’s Marinakis’ fault and they were never in a multi club 😂
#NFFC
Oh wow!
Some shirts were just made for retro sponsors — and the new Nottingham Forest 2025/26 kit with the Labatts logo?
I made it happen.
Absolute perfection 😍
What do we think?
@ClaireNffc_xo Version to sing at the Palace game:
Don’t blame it on Textor
Don’t blame it on UEFA
Don’t blame it on missed deadlines
Blame it on the Forest
Steve Parish said #CPFC missed several emails from UEFA about rule change in January because it was sent to a generic address
Except that address is also the only one listed in the PL handbook supplied to stakeholders every season
