Regular pick? Please define that for me, 'cos I'm missing something if Sangare has been a regular pick.

Sauce salad?
Sangare (the Toulouse version) was supposed to be exactly that.
My take is we all follow Forest we just all have different takes on the best way for Forest to be successful.
I also genuinely think some posters just post to see what reactions they can get from other forum members - they are pretty easy to identify.
I just support Nottingham Forest and my only concern is us winning football games.

He's made 3 starts and 1 sub appearance under Nuno. I'm as confused as you how that constitutes a regular pick.

He's been injured and at AFCON.
He's started regularly when available.
To be clear, regularly doesn't mean every game. It just means he's in the first team picture often. More so than he deserves to be based on performances throughout the whole season.

A total of 1 game against Luton, that we should have won and the first half against Palace.

So moving the goalposts? We're undefeated when Sangara has started under Nuno, maybe he's a lucky mascot...

He played 77% of the games he was available for under Coops (arguably 83%, as the first game he was eligible for was the day after he arrived, so he wasn't considered for selection).
And around 50% under Nuno (obviously the games he was at AFCON and missed with injury aren't counted).

I love a good stat hunt.Thank you for doing that on my behalf.
It's my inner geek.
Also, I think one of the 'not-selected' games under Cooper was when he came back from an Ivory Coast game with some sort of illness, but couldn't find when that was - which makes the percentage even higher under Coops.

How much did this guy cost? Another wasted amount for FFP no doubt.

Just to put some fat on the bones this is supposition on your part that they take matters into their own hands, you have no proof that they made these decisions based on the format you outline. You also have no proof that EM gets involved with team selection, yet again supposition. No court would convict on the case you have written.
So many times the posts on here are like conspiracy theorists having a moan as opposed to dealing with facts, you have made it quite clear you are not a fan of EM in previous posts which makes it impossible for anyone to read your posts objectively knowing the bias behind them.
Apologies from a three score and ten plus man as I know from previous conversations that we are another sector that you don’t like. But as I promised you once before I would be more than willing to buy you a couple of good bottles of red wine and discuss Forest till the early hours.

If someone can provide irrefutable evidence to the contrary then I'm happy to change my opinion.
FWIW there have been Athletic articles earlier this season about EM Jr attempting to influence team selections and another one a couple weeks ago about EM observing training for himself. When you combine that with Cooper team selections pre-post Fulham it suggests the potential for some level of interference. I'm not just suggesting the theory because I dislike EM. I can be objective about people I don't like still.

I sometimes wonder if the Athletic has a lot to answer for. Not to say some of it isn't probably true, but there does seem to be an audience out there for owner related drama. I'm happier ignoring/not knowing all of that, though to each their own.

Not sure what’s inherently bad about EM checking out training from time to time anyway. There’s literally a camera crew there half the time.
I suppose it depends how much glowering he does while he’s there.

I heard that last time he was there he decided that one of the cones was in the wrong place and decided to move it, Andy Reid was fuming.
