And like I said - the point was about us not being able to pay transfers. We could but we didn't!

And like I said it we had this might have blown the whole budget on 1 or 2 players which might or might no have worked

And if those two players were 'game changers' rather than 'squad fillers'?

Then if they got injured we'd have no squad depth , like I said it's a balancing act

Lol. No it's a choice. The poster said:

A reply came in:

 

At the Fans Forum it was clarified that we could pay transfer fees. So if we didn't that was choice.

The point trying to be made was if we'd have paid a big transfer fee for a player who would also want high wages the hole budget would have been used up on one or two players coming in.

Wrong. He has had a budget which he could use to pay transfers but chose not to. He's spent the budget on wages.

But if you pay high transfer fees those players would surely want high wages so it's a bit of a balancing act.

You don’t know what would have happened, good of you to assume we’d lose.

There is a if at the start of my post so it assumes nothing

So given promotion is priority and given we ‘ran out of players’ last season wouldn’t it have been better to test some of the youngsters? 

If we'd have played the youngsters and lost you'd have been hammering Warne you can't have it both ways.

Could see Clowes getting quite angry with Warne for his non existent youth policy. What's the point in Clowes spending millions a year on a Category A academy if Warne is going to give them 2 minutes in the Papa Johns Trophy? Frustrates me to no end.

But other fans wanted a strong team and a guaranteed win

Rams TV with a half time advert about male depression. I really like the idea of men opening up and discussing their mental health in a judgment free zone, with other men there to support them. Especially with some of the football we've had fo put up with this season.

Why have you turned a subject that is very serious into dig at Warne

Wonderful goal.

Can’t wait for Sibley to be on the bench again so we can squeeze in an extra CDM against Shrewsbury 

If you've got so much anger and hatred why bother going or watching

b******* it’s about building momentum. If we get beat by these who probably will be a league 1 club next year imagine how awful the international break is going to feel. 

I'll reply without the swearing. 

Wouldn't be able to build much momentum in the league if some of our better players became injured playing in this competition

Warne gets sacked.

ever thought about trying to get behind the manager whoever it is

Clowes won't have run the club very prudently if we can't afford to sack the manager before the end of his contract.

Managerial sackings are ten a penny in football, surely he would have budgeted for this possibility?

Are managerial sackings ten a penny for clubs that nearly went out of business quite recently?

It really is not good enough a multi million pound layout for as of yet a mediocre return.lf l was Clowes l would be demanding answers.

Answers about what

There will be a good away following including myself. It won’t go down well if we lose which I think is 50/50

If we don't win some will go into meltdown others like myself won't care to much 

Try not to risk anyone who might start the next league game I know we're taking alot of fans but does it really matter that much

Didzy love-in. Be asking for him to come back as manager 😂

Doubt he'll start

I’m still fuming that we conceded a goal to a team that has been unable to score against literally anyone else.

We’re a laughing stock and the responsibility for that lies completely with Warne.

Not all of our problems lie with warn some of the players we're p**s poor yesterday

And yet there are enough examples of a good manager getting better results out of a squad players than the previous manager, are there not?

Right then Roy so your theory is get warnock in an this team is capable of a mid table finish in the championship

Stats say around 100 long balls with only 44% reaching their target. 
 

A forest fan could count the good performances we had under MAC1 on one hand. 

surely you don’t genuinely believe we have anything other than a top 2/3 budget? 
 

 

 

I don't know what our budget is compared to others in this division but I've never seen any information about it so just like everyone else I'd be guessing 

11 hours ago, JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta said:

Why don't you list all of the facilities of all the clubs in the division instead seeing as you seem to dispute my initial assertion?

 

I never mentioned anything about our facilities or budget in the first place 

Just now, JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta said:

One of the highest wage budgets in the league, one of the highest club revenue streams in the division, Premier League standard facilities throughout the club.

List all the budgets in the division then

premier league quality academy and training facilities 

The academy got decimated when we nearly went bust and will not be rebuilt overnight
