Just seen the club statement. Not a single mention of CPFC. They won't like that, especially since Wolfsburg are given a nod

Not sure when the comments on here were last posted so here's an update with some of the better comments......
I’m sure he’d go to press when he’s not happy with the owner
I’m sure he’d be sacked by Xmas by the owner
Why has either of them not seen each others track record I wonder arhhhh money first
As soon as he moves on from them to the next stepping stone, though, I will wish him well once again.
There are lots of Forest fans gloating thinking this is some kind of triumph over us. Well, not really, unless Glasner had been tapped up by Forest last year, otherwise we can assume Forest were not exactly top of his wish list.
Glasner’s obsession with winning did feel strangely refreshing. The way he wanted to win every game. No matter the competition or opposition was brilliant. Clearly played a part in helping the players believe and thus getting over the line in a final.
Forest are far larger compared to us.
Just look at there history.
They currently have a larger capacity ground and have had plans in place to go up to close to around 55 thousand within next 10 years. (its taken palace 10 years to replace a toilet seat)
Not been in Pem this spell as long as Palace but have finished higher numerous times.
May not be a fan of the owner but he is willing to spend money.
[in response]
Like hell they are.
* Thirteen consecutive years in the Premier League vs five.
* Europa League football vs nada.
* Clearly definable upward trajectory vs chaotic trajectory.
* Famously passionate, vocal fanbase vs sh*te fanbase.
* Clean FFP record and headroom vs FFP charges and no headroom.
* Squad that is used to winning things in recent times vs squad that has achieved fxck all.
* Top three club for players featuring at the World Cup vs.... do they even have 1?
Need I carry on?
[in response back]
You are so delusional.
You really think Palace are a bigger club compared to Forest.
Forest has won top flight league multi times and European cup as well as all the domestic cups multi times (It doesn't matter if that was 10-20-30 years ago)
Palace has won an FA Cup yes that is an achievement rep for it was bigger back in days Forest won it and we won a Micky Mouse Europe competition they had won multi times what would be today Champions league.
Forest are one of the founding members not like Palace trying to make up history claiming.
With your list you have shown you do not understand what a big club is.
[in response]
Currently, right now, in this moment? Yes of course we are.
Ancient history doesn't matter one jot, it doesn't come into it when we are talking about the modern game, and players and managers in the here and now.
I listed seven clear black and white facts that show how Forest are a smaller club in this day and age.
Talking down the FA Cup and a European trophy as competitions for their merits is hilarious. To do that in order to big up a club who went trophyless over the same period is farcical.
[someone else wades in to put this idiot Palace fan right]
This is clearly flawed.
Whether you like it or not Forest are a bigger club than Palace.
Based on your last 2 points we are bigger than Man Utd, and we are clearly not.
Having a passionate fanbase is irrelevant to a club's size. Selhurst has a 25k capacity, Forest is almost 31k, and sells out every game. Not only that with our limited hospitality our revenue on match days is limited. Forest's match day revenue will far exceed ours (just like new grounds such as Spurs and Arsenal get more matchday revenue than Man U despite having smaller capacities).
Despite the media and the BBC doing it's best to try and create some kind of rivalry between Palace and Forest, they're not our rivals. Sure their fans are annoying inbreds, but that's probably true of most clubs in the league and if they think they've got one over on us, then that proves the point. As for Wharton going there, can't see that happening and we'd want top money anyway, probably the same amount that they sold Anderson for.
Since Maranakis took over they've had eleven managers in 9 years and only Steve Cooper lasted more than a year.
Depends if he thinks a horses head in his bed is backing him.
It's hard to tell how he'll get on at Forest, as such a major factor will be his ability to work with a larger squad that lacks the closeness of ours, and a chairman who is so volatile. Personally, I think he may well fall out with players due to his unwillingness to rotate, but on the flipside, even with Anderson gone, they do have a strong squad. Plus, they don't have Europe to think about (unlike half of the PL!)
The Forest announcement doesnt mention our club but does reference the success.
Just total unnecessary sh!thousery from Forest. Very unusual club, assume the fans are all decent but the owner and those employed by him are clearly a little insecure.
It might just be hearsay but I read he'll be on £14m a year, making him the second highest paid manager in the league.
They had previously over spent hadn't they. But no doubt there were little sanctions. Marinakis right in with UEFA, on his little black book payroll.
He obviously wanted to go to a club that throws money around like confetti and could pay him a lot more.
Thanks for the memories, but I hope we beat them twice, he’s sacked by October and forest go down, but other than that I wish him well
[On Glasner potentially moving for Wharton]
I don't see why he would go there. I don't see him as a particular fan of Glasner either. There are at least three bigger clubs who will pay the same, or more. Man U, Man City, Liverpool for a start. That's before you consider Real Madrid were supposed to be looking.
If Ollie prefers the scatter gun transfer policy and bullying approach of Mary Knickers to our leader Parish then good luck to him, he’s going to need it, though I expect treble the money was more attractive
Has he been sacked yet?
I think he will get Mateta, and i think he will try and get Muñoz.
[sense amongst the saltiness]
I might be 'Way off beam' but I suspect many of our supporters are rankled and irked that he has joined Nottm Forest and hope that his tenure is unsuccessful.
I view Glasner as a manager who provided the club with unparalleled success, fulfilled his contract and was then free to negotiate with any club who were interested in his services.
Nottm Forest acted in their interests and had we been in their position it is feasible we would have gallivanted down that path.
UEFA demoted us for reasons that have been well documented and the decision was upheld by CAS.
[in response, this is the same clown 'Linford' that was arguing the toss before about Palace being bigger]
It might be in their interests, but it's also quite underhanded. Plenty of clubs would do it no doubt, but not all.
I have no idea if we would have, if the shoe was on the other foot. Parish seems to be a character with a fixed set of morals, some of which pertain to the governance of the game.
Let’s call this what it is. A mercenary liar (Fact) moving to a team that did there best to f*** him and us over to push for us to drop down the Europa cup to conference. An owner that will in no way put up with 15 or so games without a win. The only reason we did was because we had a competition we were still in.
Glasner has proved he is a mug. I only hope that Sage hits the ground running and we forget all about this turn coat. If any of the players want to join him they can f*** off too as long as we get decent money for them.
As Keegan said… I will love it. LOVE IT if we beat them and if they sack him that would be great too.
Glasner thought he was going to walk into a top top job and instead ends up in that midlands s*** hole. Karma is a bitch and I hope he gets what he deserves… turn coat c***.
Glasner, was probably attracted by not only a huge salary but vast funds to spend in the transfer window,unlike penny pinching Parish. who is merely happy to survive in the bottom half of the table,repeatedly,while selling the family silver.
I would take a tight fisted but somebody who actually cares about our club over that fat f***er at forest any day
[ironic comment of the week coming from this South Londoner]
Nottingham a decent city? Are you sure? It's not called the 'gun city of UK' for nothing.
It is 'Plain as a pikestaff' that supporters have varying criteria for determining whether one club is 'Bigger' than another.
I have concluded that Nottm Forest are historically a 'Bigger' club based on a number of factors, Trophies, History, Infrastructure, Financial power, fanbase etc etc.
We have had our recent successes but Nottm Forest have been back-to-back Champions in Europe, they have won the league and perhaps have a global reach greater than ours at this juncture.
They are a 'bigger' club than us.
We are currently a more successful club than they are however.
I'd suggest that's the conflation.
Glasner's trick is to go to club's where any success will be considered an overachievement and expecations are lower. He has that with Forest. With us he would have to sustain success which can only be achieved through winning the Europa League, far from guranteed.
Therefore we no longer fit his modus operandi and Forest do. I don't give a f**k about Forest nor Glasner's career now he has left. He had an amazing impact here but times move on, so I'm only worried about Palace now. Time to give the whole Forest thing a rest, I think the Marianakis period will not be a successful one for them and will end terribly. I'm not envious.
Forest a bigger club?
Since the Premier League began, we have spent 17 seasons in it.
Forest have had 9.
In that period, we have won 1 FA Cup, 1 Charity Shield and 1 Conference Cup.
Forest have won 0.
We are 1 of 17 London clubs, 6 of which are in South London. Our capacity limits our attendance to 25,194. We have never had an average less than 24k in the Premier League in our current run.
Forest are one of only 2 clubs in Nottingham. Since 1978, they have never had an average season attendance of over 30k until 2025. Their current capacity 30,445. The previous time they were in the Premier League in 1999, their average was 24,415.
Forest might have a few old trophies thanks mainly to Brian Clough, but even then they weren't a big club. What they did was similar to what Leicester did. They came from nowhere and then went back to nowhere again.
Are they really a bigger club than Palace? The evidence does not support that.
I’m sure he’d go to press when he’s not happy with the owner

Can’t be doing with the “Which club is bigger nonsense “. If you get involved in that argument it just makes you look tinpot.
It’s irrelevant anyway as the likes of Bournemouth who have a modest history are currently of a higher standing than some very successful clubs historically.

Something in the South London air, or water I expect.
Simultaneously claiming that a manager, who they clearly idolised, has chosen an inferior club whilst continuing to bitterly lament his leaving is about as blatantly obvious a hit of Copium as it comes.

It's incredible to me how much personal animosity is directed at Marinakis by them. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think he's ever uttered a word in public about them or the situation with the European places. I can see why they might have beef with the club for writing a letter to UEFA or whatever we're supposed have done. But no - it's mostly just Marinakis they hate. All the stuff with MGW is absolutely nothing to do with them. Him supposedly bribing UEFA is just invented. It's literally all in their heads. Weirdos.

Some of the cope in there is off the scale and some of them desperately need to go outside, touch grass, and wake up to reality.
Enjoyed reading it though, thanks for collating it.
Bookies also have them shorter odds to be relegated than us currently, but I'm sure that doesn't count either

I love how the "who is the bigger club" argument always revolves around the timescale.
Had a good couple of years? "It's about the here and now - currently we are bigger".
Had a rough couple of years? "you can't erase history - historically we are bigger".
Then you've got the real saddos who rely on nonsense like "complying with FFP", "Commercial Revenue" or "Social Media followers" to try and win the argument. "I live in Cambodia and nobody has heard of your club here - they all know about us" etc.
Arguing about which club is bigger is tinpot behaviour anyway. Who gives a f***? Does anyone (who is not a bellend to begin with) choose their club based on how big they are? No. And nobody (except bellends) changes their club once they have one anyway, so it doesn't matter who is bigger or smaller. Grow up.

I agree with all of this, but I also think that describing things as 'tinpot behaviour' is something Man United fans say about fans of smaller clubs to make them feel small, you shouldn't internalize that stuff.I love how the "who is the bigger club" argument always revolves around the timescale.

"Tinpot" for me isn't really about size of club.
Inflatable clappers are tinpot. Drums are tinpot. "Ultras" all wearing the same T-Shirts and spending the whole game facing the crowd is tinpot. Making up a fake rivalry because nobody cares is tinpot. Fans being silent all game is tinpot. People doing that "outside - I'll see you outside" gesture from a different stand is tinpot.....
Arguing with fans about whose club is bigger or better is definitely tinpot, after the age of about 8. "You support Forest? They're crap"
[me for most of my life] "Yeah I know. What's your point?"
I've found most real football fans are pretty similar in most respects, they just support different teams. Loads of f***ing idiots on social media nowadays, mind.
