Couldn't have been that bad for Forest to buy him back again could he??

Heard he was on about £10,000 a week at Forest and would have been on about that if not more at Leicester in the Premiership! He didn't play more than a handful of games for Forest for the last 2 years of his contract on was training with a number of clubs (including Stanley) during that time due to a clash with Megson. He obviously doesn't need the money so let's home he's here to enjoy his football...........and a few pies!

Forest gave him a trial prior to re-signing him , during that time he didn't do too badly & we gave him a nice fat contract & he almost immediately stopped trying! (so don't be surprised if he looks ok the first few games!)
After he was dropped he decided he didn't want to try to find a new club & would just pick up his wages and give nothing in return - He was another given a ridiculously long & overpaid contract by Joe Kinnear.
His behaviour was such that Forest ended up banning him from entering the ground & sent him on "gardening leave" - eventually paying off his contract just to get rid!

BTW sorry "Accymad" but it really isn't sour grapes, we've never been so happy to see the back of a player!!

Who knows? maybe his "rest" has changed his attitude - Rogers used to be an excellent hard tackling defender, read the game well & was great going forward. If you get him you're going to be very happy - I just hope you don't get the lazy dough boy we got second time around!!

Good luck for the rest of the season & enjoy your easy three points next week!
