Can all players use the official forums for drivel, this thread is for team and game updates only.
After many years of attempts to return to the big time, Nottingham Forest have turned to a new face amoungst the wise heads of football. This new face they hope will return them to the glory days of the Clough era.
The unknown mager hopes to lead Forest in a new direction and, although he undoubtely will face some sceptisism from the home fans, he knows his no nonsense approach to football will win the majority over. It remains to be seen whether this man has the talents to deliver what he preaches. We await the results with baited breath. Step forward Dez Wilkins <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Shaky start to Gers pre-season
Rangers gaffer Davie Murchison was slammed today for going on holiday while his players toughed it out in a gruelling 3 game pre-season schedule.
His assistant Andy Watson took control of the team for the 1-0 defeat to Falkirk picking a strange looking team, not the team Murchie had picked before the matches.
Along with this, Nuno Capucho and Emerson have both hit out at their manager for publicly trying to sell them off to other clubs. Murchie refused to comment but instead looked on the positive side after enquiring after a few players but stressed to fans not to expect big money signings and instead insisted that he will have to look to the lower leagues for potential signings.

Shambles at Wimbledon
The most hated team in the football league managed to upset the few die-hard fans they had left by appointing a complete unknown as manager. Rumours that Stone was given the job after promising to bring along everybody he knew in Surrey Quays to the new stadium have, however, been strenuously denied by the MK Dons Board. It This latest escapade by the Dons board have left the fans wondering how it could get any worse as administration looms, playing in a stadium miles away from wimbledon, and a complete unknown with absolutely zero management knowledge in charge.
The first week of the new season seemed to last forever for the few remaining Dons fans as day after day bids for their star players had to be turned down, whilst manager Rob Stone began his search for loan signings as there was no chance of a permenant signing due to the 14m debt and 30m loan that was heavily burdening the clubs plan for success.
After a long arduous week in charge I finally managed to add to my squad with Mbark Boufassa coming in on a season long loan from Chelsea, and Courtney Pitt in a similar arrangement from Portsmouth. There was, of course, no option to buy these players in the future built into their contracts. Loan bids for Bellion, Pericard, Marinelli and many more were unsuccessful as it seemed the prospect of playing infromt of 5,000 ‘fans’ at an altered hockey stadium was not attractive to all.
As the week came to an end it was clear I needed a break, and left my coach to handle the pre-season friendly’s that were approaching due to the unfortunate lack of an assistant manager.
I just hope that during this time none of my players are sold on the cheap, or that the dreaded administration arrives………….
