Let’s talk about Nottingham Forest

[MikeH72]

He cost £25m plus add ons, not sure he's cost them half of £80m yet but as ever you're the forum drama queen.

Here’s the thing, add ons actually have to be paid. Mad that this needs explaining.

If I lived there, I would support County.

I live there and I support Everton, enough said.

Don't think he did we at the time had ffp overlooking us, he definitely wanted us, but sure it was close to £40m too dear for us.

I remember differently, he chose Forest coz he'd worked with Cooper before.

Thought different he even seemed to wait for us to make a bid, but I could be wrong not the end of the World if I am.

Well yes, but they still need paying don’t they? Unless they’re planning on buying him and then just sitting him on a bench so he doesn’t trigger the add ons??

Always thought Clough was a Labour man. Yes just googled it, lifelong Socialist, often appeared on the Miners picket lines.

He wasnt Tory mate. Was asked by Labour to stand for election a couple of times.

I take it back, just a thug then!

Yeah they definitely need to pay that add on for qualifying for Europe don't they.

Well you've took half of it back mate.

I will be keeping a close eye on their books over the next few years. The money they’ve spent and the wages they’re paying out to assemble that squad is alarming. Probably even worse than our 2017-2019 splurge. They currently don’t have a single saleable asset. Not sure how Lingard for £200k a week for one season is going to look on the rolling 3 year books.

The figures I saw were more around the 120k per week on a one year deal. Factor in no transfer fee and it's not that much of an outlay - even going off the 200k figure it's only around £10M.

Out of interest how will you be gaining access to their books for details of wages paid, transfer fee structures, permitted deductions such as academy spending, infrastructure and women's teams, income streams such as TV money & sponsorship and any other expenses? Or are you just going to guess/make it up?

That's exactly what he does. He runs stories on here based loosely on facts to try to give his nonsense some credibility. Got quite the imagination to be fair.

 

[Nobby Nobbs]

As a shrewd judge of football I turned to a mate after the game and told him that Forest were [Poor language removed] and would go straight back down again, of course they went on to win the league.

Are they the only team to get promoted and then go on to win the league the next season?

Sorry mate you've taken his words literally.

If course he won't be looking at their books ( I suspect even the auditor won't ) but what @MikeH72 is saying is broadly correct.

They must be flying very close to the limit over a 3 year cycle that is if they stay in the PL.
