'We must give Andrews a chance' - fans on new Bees boss
We asked for your views on the appointment of Keith Andrews as Brentford's new head are some of your comments:Alan: A supporter since 1960 and sceptical for much of that time, but I have total faith in the current management structure and ability - so I back this totally. If it doesn't work out they'll have a plan to Let's all get behind Andrews' new management team. It will be interesting if there are any other internal promotions from the coaching staff. As always, keep the faith and roll on season We must give Andrews a chance to show what he can do as the number one. We talk about the great job Thomas Frank did but, honestly, how many people knew anything about him when he joined Brentford and then became head coach? The management at Brentford know what the club needs and requires, and if Andrews fits the bill, who are we to say no?Gary: Gutted. Total lack of ambition from the club.J: Change is a risk, and so is not changing. I can't think of any owner or directors of a football club better placed to exploit risk than Brentford's. I am very excited about this season coming. I will miss Frank, Bryan Mbeumo and Christian Norgaard, but there is some incredible talent in our squad, which is designed for the next three to five years. Just watch!Stephen: Do you honestly think Matthew Benham and Phil Giles would take a punt on Premier League survival by appointing Andrews? The answer is crystal clear. It is now about Keith's relationship with the players and how he can keep the motivation and momentum high after Frank's successful seven-year reign. The have all worked with Andrews for a year. He has seen what works and doesn't work. It is too early to judge.

‘Delighted' Premier League club gets green light for 35,000-seater stadium redevelopment with stand to be demolished
NOTTINGHAM FOREST have been given the green light for a major stadium redevelopment which will see a stand get demolished. Forest put forward plans to their local council this week expressing their desire to bulldoze and rebuild the Peter Taylor stand. 4 4 The huge project costs around £130million — up £36m from its original estimates in 2019. And Forest's plans have now been approved by Rushcliffe Borough Council, allowing the club to move forward with building work. They will now rip down the Peter Taylor Stand and replace it with a new 10,000-seater terrace coming in at 38m high. That will boost the City Ground's capacity from 30,000 seats to 35,000. And it will also inject £13million a year into the local economy by creating hundreds of new jobs. Forest revealed their 'delight at the news' in a statement on Friday. They added: 'We look forward to working closely with our partners on the next steps and will provide a further update in due course.' The rebuild comes at a perfect time for Forest, who defied expectations to qualify for the Conference League last season. The City Ground has seen multiple improvements since it opened in 1898, with the last of five rebuilds taking place in 1996. But once work is done on the new stand, Forest plan on another expansion. The longer-term plan is to develop the Bridgford Stand, eventually taking the City Ground's capacity to 40,000. Nuno Espírito Santo signs new contract but Nottingham Forest appear to make gaffe in statement announcing it 4 4 An apartment block of 169 flats is also in the works to built next door. But that would not start until 2026 at the earliest.

Nottingham Forest midfielder Danilo wanted on loan by LaLiga club as his £20m move to Lyon is stalled by the French club's relegation
Real Betis want Danilo on loan from Nottingham Forest as his proposed move to Lyon hangs in the balance. The 24-year-old Brazilian midfielder has been set for a £20million switch to Lyon before the French club were demoted to the second tier for financial offences. Lyon plan to appeal and Forest are waiting but the transfer will not be possible if the relegation is confirmed. Danilo, who broke an ankle on the first day of last season and was out for five months before finding it difficult to fight his way back into Nuno Espirito Santo 's team, is eager to resume his career as soon as possible. Betis revived Antony 's career last season with a loan deal from Manchester United and hope to do the same for his fellow Brazilian Danilo. Danilo joined Forest from Palmeiras for £16m in January 2023, and has made 62 appearances since. However, Lyon's £20million approach for Danilo rests on whether they can successfully appeal their recent relegation to the French second tier He began his youth career in Brazil at Bahia, before enjoying stints at Jacuipense and PFC Cajazeiras, the latter of whom he made his senior debut for. At Palmeiras, Danilo became a consistent first-team starter teams in a team that won the Copa Libertadores in back-to-back years. Forest are currently reshaping their squad ahead of next season and are looking to balance their planned spending - a goal that would be helped by the sale of Danilo. Betis finished sixth place in LaLiga last season and will play in the Europa League in 2025-26. The same cannot be said for Forest, though, who suffered a late capitulation at the end of the season and settled for Conference League football.
