I genuinely can’t get my head around how much finger pointing in our direction Forest are using as a defense.
It’s almost laughable if circumstances around us weren’t so dire right no1H AGO
This is a verbatim comment from today’s Times submitted by a Forest fan…I had to respond to put him right!
“I wish that when articles are written and 'facts' are stated that caveats are also included.
"The club’s breach was £34.5 million above the permitted losses, 77 per cent greater than Everton’s £19.5million overspend."
Nottingham Forest after 23 years outside of the PL were allowed to lose £61 million. Everton in the PL since day one were allowed to lose £105 million.
If Forest had had the same allowance as Everton they would not have been charged.
Add to this the fact that both Fulham & Bournemouth (both promoted at the same time as Forest) had parachute payments after being in the PL recently & Forest didn't........although the PL in their 'judgement' ignored this.
Everton were allowed to have write offs because of Covid of £22 million. Forest £2.5 million.
Now explain to me why you think Forest were more reckless than Everton........
The whole PL setup is designed to make it virtually for promoted clubs who haven't got parachute payments to survive in the PL. A level field it isn't..........and you wonder why Forest appealed. They were not treated fairly.”
