Red_Dawn reacted to Bris Vegas in Live football thread.
He was happy enough to sign a £350k a week contract though.
Rashford is another talented player who has a huge spotlight on him because he plays for Man Utd.
He is paid far above what his ability represents because he is at Man Utd, and he is regularly talked about as some kind of elite player because he is at Man Utd.
He is a decent player, but no better than say Raheem Sterling.

Most of it is Harry Arter.

I think we've been incredibly lucky here.
If we can't gain one more point than Luton by one point by the end of the season, that's out own fault and deserve relegation.

The logic of the offical statement from Forest seems to suggest that they are being punished for over spending, that somehow not letting them do so allows those with deeper pockets to outspend them. This is a flawed argument on many grounds.
1: Them was the rules all along, if you don't like them then don't play.
2: Those rules were brought in for the absolute benefit of the smaller clubs, to prevent them having to overspend and go into massive debts just to keep up. Indeed, they were put there to ensure that the biggest teams didn't have endless means on their spending, a la early Abramovich.
3: The size of the breach is of such a magnitude as to suggest either complete stupidity or flagrant intent to ignore.
For those comparing the case of Forest and Derby it is clear to see one is a case of bad accounting (ours, as a club we were collectively a bit too cute and we served our punishment, but it was in the end one owner trying to play fast and loose with a definition of debt) and the other a blatant attempt to just subvert the rules as put in place. Forest can cry all they want that they are being chopped off at the knees but the truth is there to see, they broke the rules of the competition they chose to enter into.
The problem we have now is that we enter into a phase of the journey where the lawyers of the convicted become potentially bigger than the lawyers of those prosecuting. Not for Forest but when the day of reckoning comes for City it will be very interesting indeed to see how that plays out.
But, and I say this as someone who is far from a Forest hater (I don't live near there and have no friends or otherwise who support them), it is a sad day when you see the blight that has hit the lower leagues arrive in the top flight. Teams are now not relegated based on their footballing ability and our very close shave with extinction will likely be surpassed by someone like Forest, who just get themselves in that little bit too deep. It is going to happen.

I still lurk now and there mate. To be honest I've had some things going on that really put kicking a bag of wind into perspective, in the grand scheme of things.
I'm still enjoying watching us. Hoping we can steer clear of relegation, but if it happens, we'll have nobody to blame but ourselves. We'll have to go again in the Championship..

It's hardly an urgent issue, anyway. Their current arrangement runs for another 30-odd years. Though Harry Arter will still be under contract by then.

I doubt you actually believe the first statement. As for the second, well, you have to be in it to win it and you're still in it. Sadly we're not.
Can't believe we'll ever win it in my life time. Mind you, I'm 103.

I’m embarrassed we’ve even complained. If this was a Forest player winning the game with some schenanigans, we’d all be applauding. The blame is on the wall and the fact nobody spotted him moving the ball.
Like you said, Samba.. s*** housery.. we all loved it
