I know Syds wife was really ill.
I spoke with him at a game early last season and I think he knocked the football on the head to look after his missus.
I could see it going that way a couple years back. I don’t know his m personally just through his old forum. Seems like a really nice bloke and I wish him all the best.
 
As I once said to cyprus sid I went to every one of their home fairs cup games. No affinity just the chance to see foreign teams and players and it was free entry thanks to my elder brother. Alse went to see them play Tottenham so I could see Jimmy Greaves and Pat Jennings two of my favourite players at the time

Living in Mansfield meant very few world class players ever came, Nick Sharkey was the closest <laugh>

We'd go to see Man Utd, at Forest, for Best, Law, Charlton, etc. if we couldn't get to Sunderland.

We went to Forest for the European Cup semi final match against Cologne in 1979, paid on the gate and saw a great match that finished 3-3.

Before the match we went to the Vale Hotel, Nottingham, for a few pints. As we walked in and ordered the Forest fans mistook our Geordie accents for German and a big cheer went up. We played along with it and put on outrageous German accents. The daft buggers bought all our drinks and we entertained them with ludicrous tales of our ferry crossing, hitch hiking and sleeping in barns <laugh>

As we were going into another story a minibus full of actual Germans pulled into the carpark ...

... we realised we were f*cked so said we were going out to greet our countrymen and legged it down Mansfield Road as fast as we could.

We laughed about it for weeks but probably deserved a clout.

Wonder if we have gone for other options or it was on his end then. Would be a big setback for kld to go to turkey and not get it done. Still full confidence in the club though.
Im not saying hes gone there and its fell through just something I heard made me think we arent in for him....but again, it was my assumption based on some knowledge, I should have said more at the time (im aware I look like im backtracking)
