Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

No deal for Rodrigo Zalazar at that price

Nottingham Forest offered $69.8M; Sporting CP said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

$11.2M settles it between the clubs for Antonín Kinský

Tottenham have accepted the money. What Nottingham Forest do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

Nottingham Forest rebuffed over Gabri Veiga

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Porto have kept their man, and Nottingham Forest go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market11 Jan 2027

Nottingham Forest pay Newcastle United $6.2M for a proper upgrade

Newcastle United did not want to sell and the number is why they did. $6.2M for Lukáš Horníček, and the expectation that arrives with him is the kind no amount of settling-in period softens.

Market11 Jan 2027

Ola Aina asks to leave Nottingham Forest

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market11 Jan 2027

Nottingham Forest turn down Norwich City for Neco Williams

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Match9 Jan 2027

No end in sight to Nottingham Forest's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Nottingham Forest has to find a result from somewhere.

Market11 Jan 2027

Eyes on Igor Jesus again

The phone has started ringing about Igor Jesus again, and this time the name on the line is Tottenham. Nottingham Forest are listening politely and promising nothing.

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

No thanks: Brandon Austin rejects the move

Nottingham Forest had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Tottenham, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Transfer targets4 Jan 2027

An offer of $52.5M for Francisco Trincão

Nottingham Forest have gone to Al-Ahli with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets4 Jan 2027

Nottingham Forest make their move for Rodrigo Zalazar

$40.3M on the table at Sporting CP. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets4 Jan 2027

$6.2M settles it between the clubs for Lukáš Horníček

Newcastle United have accepted the money. What Nottingham Forest do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Transfer targets4 Jan 2027

Ipswich Town tell Nottingham Forest: Julio Enciso is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market4 Jan 2027

Igor Jesus asks to leave Nottingham Forest

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market4 Jan 2027

Nottingham Forest turn down Burnley for Ola Aina

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

The dugout4 Jan 2027

George Murray-Jones: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Nottingham Forest have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market4 Jan 2027

George Murray-Jones has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Nottingham Forest they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Match2 Jan 2027

The wait goes on for Nottingham Forest

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad28 Dec 2026

A one-man rearguard from Jakub Stolarczyk

There were 13 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match26 Dec 2026

Nottingham Forest taken apart

0‑5 to Chelsea, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Match28 Dec 2026

Nottingham Forest are in real trouble now

Position 19, 14 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Player ratings28 Dec 2026

Callum Hudson-Odoi beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 26. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market28 Dec 2026

Nottingham Forest may not be able to give Daniel Muñoz what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Daniel Muñoz wants continental football; whether Nottingham Forest can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad28 Dec 2026

George Murray-Jones is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad28 Dec 2026

Jakub Stolarczyk has improved at 26, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Match28 Dec 2026

The half-term report on Nottingham Forest

Position 19, 14 points, and every result so far reduced to one line. The second half of the season starts with the same squad and a different set of expectations.

Boardroom28 Dec 2026

Nobody left the Nottingham Forest dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Match28 Nov 2026

Nottingham Forest taken apart

0‑3 to Newcastle United, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

Murillo says Nottingham Forest went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Player ratings30 Nov 2026

Nobody could get near Liam Delap

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market30 Nov 2026

Nottingham Forest may not be able to give Nicolás Domínguez what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Nicolás Domínguez wants continental football; whether Nottingham Forest can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Boardroom30 Nov 2026

Doors closed at Nottingham Forest

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

Nottingham Forest keep their word to Jakub Stolarczyk

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑3 Paul Collins left the room before anybody could ask which.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Neco Williams

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Neco Williams, and the manager let it.

Boardroom30 Nov 2026

$14.0K lands at Nottingham Forest thanks to Willy Boly

A clause somebody insisted on years ago, in a negotiation nobody remembers, has just paid Nottingham Forest $14.0K. Willy Boly left a long time ago; the paperwork stayed.
