    They may need a new keeper as Samba is reluctant to sign a new contract which is surprising, Smithies perhaps ?

    They’re Nottingham Forest. They’re the team of Nottingham. Notts County are the team of Notts, Nottinghamshire. They’re not Notts Forest

    Seems they have ambition to give it a good go next year and it shows they have faith in the manager.

    BTW, whether referring to them as "Notts Forest" is right or wrong, I have definitely heard them called that before.

    Why's that the case though when Sherwood Forest is not in Nottingham? - its in Nottinghamshire.

    I am aware of their proper name , however , I’ve called them Notts , Nottingham Forest and Forest since 1979, and so have plenty of others I know. The pedants clearly have the hump with this

    Even modern day pundits like Jamie Carragher call them Notts Forest

    Re: Notts Forest

    they've got 5 key players on loan last season that will need replacing or re-signing first, that will chew through half of that £100m potentially

    Re: Notts Forest

    There's no crime or shame in calling them Notts Forest. But it's Notts County. Nottingham Forest. The abbreviated "Notts" County is the actual name of the club.

    People generally call them Notts Forest only to wind them up…. Or to provide some variation from the popular and timeless ‘Scabs’!

    Nottingham was originally called Snotingham, the nomenclature relating to a chieftain called Snot.

    It's a no-no in Nottingham, and you are liable to getting your teeth knocked out

    But they were managed by Scotty. He doesn't seem the sharpest tool in the shed to me.

    I think £75-100M is about right if you want to give yourself a chance to stay up. Especially if you came up through the playoffs.

    So should they have spent less?

    I often think of Forest as a poorly run club throwing money about left, right and centre, but I forget that consistently producing players whose sale goes a long way towards covering such expenditure from your category 2 Academy does make a huge difference to a club.
