Where is the best place to watch the press conference live?

away from sharp objects and at least a few miles from the nearest bridge?

Less if these links to West Brom are true. 

No idea what he's worth in the current climate but he has consistently flattered to deceive so I won't be heart broken if he were to go over other players. 

Absolutely agree in the flattered to deceive bit, but I’d argue that with the current state of the squad he’s currently one of our best, if not THE best of our players. 

I’m no fan of Tom’s but selling him now would be suicide. As things stand, the revenue he’d bring in could not go on better players and it’s unlikely he’d bring in enough to pay off the HMRC bill (if we do indeed actually still owe them)

No need to worry about goals and assist bonuses this season

Got told by an underling at DCFC that we are signing 2 players today. 

Not putting much faith in that or claiming to be ITK.

Seemed odd to me as surely we would sign 4 or 5 all at once.

I for one appreciate people sharing unsubstantiated rumours like this. That's genuine, even though it does sound like I'm taking the pee.

Nahhhh we got ourselves into this mess, Mel needs to sort the embargo issues. 

We haven’t paid the tax man, I have no sympathy for us.

Imagine the atmosphere if that happened, would be no space left in Pride Park as Messi fires a rocket into the top corner.

Can't the mods do something about these jokers doing god awful puns derailing topics constantly?

Pure opinion and conjecture and he's only a child but boy does he seem like a *******.

If he was half as talented or as hardworking as his social media would have you believe then he would have been given a chance at Liverpool (albeit a loan probably), Fiorentina or here. 

Get your head down and let your football do the talking.

He needs to learn patience 

and the difference between 'self-belief' and 'believing the hype'

Stuck with him now ain’t we? The time to sack him was weeks ago, now it would just look like we’ve sacked him for falling asleep. Then there’s the small matter of not actually being able to afford to sack him. 

No news on umbongo, HMRC or submitting accounts I see.

No new players to be joining anytime soon. The countdown to kick off is on

'People at the table' could mean anything, I'll be at my table for tea tonight.

Hashtag disillusioned 

Decent move for the lad, you can't begrudge him that if he goes. Doesn't have to move house/be away from family and Forest have a decent record of playing and developing youth. 

Ultra hard reset happening to us though, the best we can hope for is survival, not in terms of league status, I'm resigned to League One, but the long-term survival of us as a club going forwards.

There's also the "manager injuring a player for 3 months due to a 50:50 challenge in training" story. (Not directly linked to Rooney and Knight, but seems to fit)

whaaaaa?

He just paid out to let the team stay down south for a week. If money was that tight, they wouldn't have gone.

I’d rather him pay the HMRC and take the team for a jog round Bass Rec

You may not rate him as a player, you may. Not think he has what it takes to be a leader but, making you feel sick, really? Feels like a bit of an overreaction.

If your feelings are a result of the Joiners incident - fair enough in the immediate aftermath but don’t you think it’s time to move on?

Absolutely and we shouldn’t have the Joiners debate again but it does still stick in my craw - after all we sacked our club captain because of it.

Nothing I have seen from Tom on the pitch over the last 4 years has indicated he is a leader. His head goes down, he is petulant and, apart from berating the ref/moaning, he isn’t vocal. Smacks of a clueless Rooney. 

For me it is the pinnacle of the situation we’re in, threadbare squad, no money, embargo, tax bill, inexperienced manager/management team and we could really do with a player to rip up trees on the pitch for his teammates- from what I’ve seen- Tom isn’t that man.

This decision still leaves me feeling a bit sick

I'm struggling to believe Mel would be happy with us starting the season without a single senior CB

He’s barely even keeping the lights on so funding new players - costing £2m on wages - is probably not something he’s willing to do 

Are we even sure this is an issue with the EFL and not Mel refusing to sanction anymore expenditure on wages? 

Does anyone know why Amazon didn’t do the documentary on us in the end? It would be absolute Prime viewing and would be a Godfather 2 to Sunderland Till I Die 

So much love for the man

Serious question , have you seen him training to know what his attitude and work rate are like ? 

Absolutely not, just being deliberately antagonistic. Just got a massive feeling that there’s something going on there - just like Marriott

Where is Duncan? Doesn't seem to get a look into either team? How is he to improve without actually playing games ?

Improve work rate and attitude in training first and foremost

Pfff, leased the ground back then, never had a pot to pee in
