M Brookmambo3 Has anyone worked out why Forest sold him to Reading. he has scored less goals then pog? they don't need the money.
Squad too big?
Cloth cutting?
Mad Chairman?
FFP?
Royal Lady We missed a real opportunity to have Cox and Long up front imo.
Who Moved The Goalposts?Royal Lady We sold him for £200k and buying him back for £600k, great business.I always liked him as a player and his game against Spurs in the cup he was on fire - we should never have let him go in the first place imo, as I stated at the time. Whether he can now still do a job for us, I'm not so sure.
You conveniently forget that we got and additional £600k in sell-on fees when Swindon sold him to West Brom. That kind of puts us £200k up on the deal plus we get him back (not that you can really square the finances that way, but you get the point).

Why would forest care that he has scored less goals than a striker at a club they are selling him to?
SPARTA Forest press claiming he's having a second medical today and Mackie bunged a lift down with him to complete a season loan. Happy with both!

IN for this. Like him a lot at this level. Clever forward who should fit the Adkins style quite nicely. Hopefully the homecoming should give his career the nudge in the right direction that it seems to need.

soggy biscuit never watched Mackie much but always had him down as your classic hard working headless chicken type.
Thick pundits will all praise his 'great engine' and solid work rate while ignoring that when he gets in a good position he more often than not spoons it into the crowd or makes a terrible choice in passing

And thick supporters will underestimate the effect having a hard worker in the team can have.

Doesn't really work now, does it. Still, if it made you giggle like a schoolboy, crack on.

"Hi all a Forest fan here in peace. just thought i'd give you a heads up regarding Cox and Mackie the Nottingham post reporter Paul Taylor just had interview with Stuart Pearce and he said that both Cox and Mackie should join Reading today. Mackie is an outstanding player sorry to see him leaving works his socks off every game.Cox will drive you all crazy works hard gives his all but can't score 14 in 2 years here.All the best for the coming season have a good one."
Sutekh Presuming he signs, will Simon Cox have taken the most roundabout route from our Academy to the RFC first team ?
