Looks that way - huge blow for them

Wonder where he is going? Sounds like a rival team but none spring to mind

Don’t believe he’s on his way anywhere else - just didn’t agree with the club’s long term visions

If only a certain ex Reading manager had done the same thing after a certain playoff final loss to the same team :wink:

Could be troubling times for Huddersfield next season, I don't anticipate they will have anywhere near the season they did last season and if they do lose some of their key players this summer, O'Brien looking the obvious one, they may well be looking over their shoulders again as they have done in recent years.

Has shown interest in buying RFC in the past. That's a nuclear missile missed...

Shackleton to Millwall on loan. Disappointing.

I know Forest are no longer rivals but they are making some really good signings. £15m for Neco Williams is possibly too much but I guess time will tell. Cooper/scouting team seem very good at identifying the right type of player.

I don’t agree with some of their fans who are predicting a top 6 finish but I think they might just about survive next season.

Agreed.He is also getting Omar Richards in too, Think they will be midtable.

Can’t see it. 25m for 2 unproven full backs at that level isn’t great business like they are claiming. It might work but still a big gamble

Richards literally had 6 (very) good months at a champ side and that’s about it

Not confirmed yet but likely. Millwall apparently want loan to buy but Leeds not sure they want to sell.

Neco Williams and Brennan Johnson are going to take over from Ramsey and Bale as Wales best players. Think they will thrive in the top flight. Time will tell but I think they are both good enough.

Agreed. And if Spence is the blueprint for how Forest want to play, Richards isn’t anything like that, and I certainly don’t think he’s a particularly great wingback (assuming that’s the formation Forest will stick on)

For all the talk of it, how many teams actually spend big and survive in the Prem? Look at Fulham each time they go up. Could be wrong but don’t recall Brentford spending much last summer and they had a very respectable season. Ditto Leeds the year before

A number of Championship teams seem to be playing their first pre season friendly tomorrow. I like that we started a week earlier.
