Chapter 140: Let's wait for relegation and then talk about it
Regarding Nottingham Forest Chairman Dogetty's malicious comments in the public media again, although David really didn't bother to bother with him, in order to appease the indignant fans of Notts County, he still had to stand up and respond, at least not to make the fans think that Notts County is really not enterprising, and is afraid of this sworn enemy in the same city.
"I wonder where Mr. Dogety's confidence comes from?"
In an interview with the Nottingham Evening News, a local media outlet that is already about to become the mouthpiece of Notts County, David was initially very dismissive and expressed a great deal of skepticism.
"Yes, Notts County are promoted but that doesn't mean they can't make a difference in League One, so isn't the Kaiserslautern myth enough to tell the whole story? Or does the FA have a clear rule that promoted horses are not allowed to compete for promotion places? ”
"The quality of Notts County, everyone should be obvious, we are a club with ideals and aspirations, last season's big investment, the League Two title and the League Cup title are not enough to say it all?"
"It's Nottingham Forest themselves, but I don't see anything extraordinary in their pursuits, considering that last season they were only 16th in League One, six points above the relegation zone."
"They have fallen to this point, but they don't want to forge ahead, as the president of the club, they don't focus on how to save the club, but they still have the leisure to manage the affairs of other clubs, I have to say, it is really a misfortune for Nottingham Forest Club and the fans to have such a wonderful chairman."
"Look at it, Nottingham Forest's results last season were so poor, but there is still no big move in the new season, it can be seen that they should be very satisfied with the position they are in now, as long as they can be relegated from League One, otherwise how can they not invest a penny in transfers?"
"But I'm here to kindly remind Nottingham Forest, of course, if you want to understand it as a warning, Notts County is already in League One, then you Nottingham Forest have to think about whether the 6 points leading the relegation zone last season are still solid, if by the end of the season, Nottingham Forest will be tragically relegated, I really don't know if the angry fans will tear down your club headquarters!"
In fact, David really doesn't know where Dogotty comes from, if any football person with a certain vision, or even a fan who pays a little attention to League One and League Two, will not think that Nottingham Forest and Notts County have any comparison, but he, the chairman who should have the most professional vision, still can't tell the situation.
Do you really think Notts County can't do anything about you?
At the end of the interview, David studied the opponents in the new season of English One in his heart, not only to measure the success rate of Notts County's impact on the Premier League, but also to see if Nottingham will have the possibility of relegation.
A few hours later, David smiled!
Notts County's strength is guaranteed, although there are still a few competitive opponents, but with Notts County's current squad configuration, as long as it is not unfortunate to encounter a large-scale injury wave that causes the starting lineup to be incomplete, it should not be too much of a problem to get a direct promotion spot.
But things are not so rosy for Nottingham Forest!
Originally, the strength of the squad in the English League One can only be regarded as the lower average, and there is no investment in reinforcements this summer, as long as the main squad can be retained, relegation should not be a big problem, but the problem now is that because of the bankruptcy of the broadcaster, Nottingham Forest's financial situation has suddenly become worse, and in the case of Dogotti wanting to rely more on the club's self-sufficiency, there is no money to bring in reinforcements, and several main players in the team are sold, and the income is used to repay the loan and balance the finances, so that Can the strength of the team not decline?
A look at the clubs in League One shows just how much Nottingham Forest are in danger of relegation.
Leicester City and Ipswich, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, are not very bad money, and the bankruptcy of the English One broadcaster has not affected them for the time being.
Derby County have gone some of the main forces, but the overall framework is still there.
The strength of these three clubs is definitely higher than the average League One club, and they are crushing Nottingham Forest, and if they want to score points against these three clubs, it is the result of winning the lottery.
Wolves, Millwall and Norwich, the three teams that reached the promotion play-offs, although they lost in the brutal format, are still planning to make a comeback in the new season, and they are not something that Nottingham Forest can compete with with the upgraded squad.
Just considering these six clubs, Nottingham Forest's hopes of promotion have been dashed.
Looking down from last season's standings, Burnley, Preston, Milton and Crystal Palace, the four clubs that failed to qualify for the promotion play-offs, are also better than Nottingham Forest in terms of team configuration, and last season's regret has become the driving force for the new season.
The remaining mid-table teams such as Coventry, Sheringham and Sheffield United have no hope of relegation, and it may be a success for them to stay in League One, but that doesn't mean they don't have the fighting spirit at all, at least they keep their main squad and grit their teeth to make it up, and they also hope to play good football to make the fans happy.
Maybe Nottingham last season also belonged to this ranks, but the gap came out when one in and one out, and it may be difficult for Nottingham Forest to return to this level in the new season.
In addition, the other two promoted horses, after being promoted again in League Two, Brighton's strategy has not changed, and the whole summer is a big spending, and the squad is comprehensively upgraded, which may need to run in time, and there is little hope for promotion, but it will definitely not fall to the level of relegation.
As for Reading, the biscuit man's brutal style of play doomed them to not be the weakest in any level of the league, and relegation should not be a big problem, and it is even possible to play a better result.
The rest is the relegation zone, David directly positioned Nottingham Forest at this level, Grimsby, Coventry and other weak teams are struggling in this area, but David is more optimistic that these teams can stay in League One because they have too much experience in relegation.
Kick it off, Nottingham Forest!
If by the end of the season, Notts County have been promoted to the Premier League, and your local rivals have been relegated to League Two, this scene is not too pretty!
