Wignall12 reacted to maxjam in Everton and Forest - FFP
It will be hugely disappointing if Forest only get docked 6 points - they will be able to count that on one hand.

Plus the wider ranging consequences - Forest and Everton are 'only' trying to avoid relegation.
In this time, City have won trophies, making any decision made wide open to the type of shenanigans we've seen from The Curly Haired One

Whether Warning:
The Met Office warns that it is currently unknown Whether Forest will get enough points deduction to be relegated and/or finish with less than the coveted 11 points.

Where did I suggest they ignore it? I'm just suggesting reasons why it may be taking so long for them to take action.
In your case, it's pretty straightforward rather tha 'apparent' - your owner treated prmotion as if he was on supermarket sweep - shovelling any old crap into his trolley no matter how expensive it was - enjoy those chickens when they come home to roost....

Wignall12 reacted to JohnoDCFC in January Reinforcements
January is a tough window to get players that will strengthen as we did the opposite this time last year. Don’t think there will be any movement until the last week of the window. You can look at the likes of Charlton who are strengthening but look where they are in table. We aren’t in the position to throw money at clubs and players.
My hatred towards Stephen Pearce will never go but David Clowes will know the position we are in with Portsmouth faltering and Peterborough likely to lose a couple of players as well as their captain, patience is needed with signings. Extending Nyambe Cashin and NML’s contracts have been clearly outlined as the first objectives this window.
As for transfer movement..CBT has to be the top target as Warne has identified and described him in so many post match interviews this season, needing more ‘pace’. I wouldn’t be against Michael Smith on loan as Warne gets the best out of him. A loan player from a PL club would be my guess if we fail signing CBT. A midfielder like Arblaster is exactly who we need as well.
A very small positive is we are being linked/interested in the right players who would strengthen us, the hard part is obviously getting them in. No more Springetts or Harvery Whites. The club HAVE to get the signings right which is the why they are being patient and rightly so.

Wignall12 reacted to Caerphilly Ram in January Reinforcements
There are several scenarios you post about that seem wrapped up in speculation, Clowes family won’t let him spend so he needs to find investment seems to be the biggest one. What actual evidence is there to back this stance up?
We know from the wide reporting of it that we are subject to a business plan, drawn up by the club and approved by the EFL for 2 years post admin.
We know from what Warne has said across multiple interviews that he has a budget to use (one that Clowes believes is competitive enough to challenge for promotion, based on an interview he gave, with the caveat that nothing is guaranteed). Warne has explained a couple of times now that in a choice of paying wages out for a (perceived) good player on a free was believed to be more cost effective that using the budget on transfer fees and wages, meaning the budget will go further with our current approach (hindsight on one or two of them suggests otherwise of course).
Without visibility of the accounts, or inside knowledge of Clowes’ children’s view on their inheritance, I’m prone to lean into the logic based conclusion that the budget we have is decent but limited and I accept that present reality. We cannot currently throw money around without refrain, there has to be some consideration and limit to what is spent and how, and that’s just how things are for the club at this present moment, that’s how I see it anyway.

Or we’re doing what many think we should and Warne said we would which is sending youngsters out on loan for game time to aid in their development.

Wignall12 reacted to Returning ram in Tyreece John-Jules
Gerrard had back problems at an early age and also several operations on his groin, he was also one of the worlds best players at the time. Yes, if you're judging players just by stats, it's a world of difference, however the point in the post is a relevant one, you can still have a successful career despite early injuries.
However I expect that the medical team would be best people to make that judgment based upon their experience.
