Though it would set a piss poor precedent

Almost as poor a precedent as one league club holding a sword of Damocles over another for spurious reasons for 2 years when others have done worse.  That didn't bother them too much.  They can all baalocks and I hope they get some dodgy beer and the poops at their liquidation parties.

Then the Forest manager asks if I can really change faces with someone.

I said yes, but looking at you I'd rather interchange it with my own ass.

FTFY

No.   We've had no penalty at all. ?

Jesus H. 6 months of points deductions, asset stripping, snail like administrators, thousands of people in a March,  embargos, cherry picking of millions of future assets for nothing, threats of liquidation, erroneous legal claims, robbing of points following rule changes not given back, fines and deductions for a policy that only formally stopped the other week and not a word.

If I pay to visit an estate like Chatsworth, I don't want to see a 300 year old house and garden packed with this poo. Those big chunks of red metal they stuck by the fountain 3 years ago stopping anyone getting a nice family photo were bad enough, almost as bad as the prices rises.

So it’s Gadsby, MDS, Mike Horton or Appleby. 
That’s my take on it. 

Could be the two together, there was rumour of this last July.  Perhaps that's where the extra cash to increase the bids come from if it transpires. 

New defender to go with the new goalie signed the other week, a player on loan from Chelsea, Tom Ince and Andy Carroll for 5 months .  Embargo my arse.  Can we have our centre half back who we had to give to Stoke please- the ones who've just been allowed a 180 million FFP get out of jail free card.  bankers

Nothing else today then.  Had a look at DCFC on twitter and just came up with this lot after some information about a charity auction. I suspect the desperations that they may be able to finally say that Brian Cloughs favourite job as a manager WAS aT nOTTS fOREST once we're no longer around, bit like they're the oldest league club despite actually not be a founding member of it . Also like the constant 'we were' rhetoric.   Weird duckers.

Agree, he probably wouldn't consider Stoke City. The Everton job could be up for grabs again soon and I imagine Rooney would be interested next time around. If not he will opt for a similar club with a sensible transfer budget, after his experience at skint DCFC. 

I don't know.  Managing a club where you can write off 120 million quid in converted debt and write of 60 million due to covid and avoid FFP failure without so much as a question may be quite refreshing.  Especially as his current club are currently missing 2 points in sanction that they haven't had back in lieu of such rule change.  Next season they might be able to play with 12 men, it's only fair.

If he, or indeed any of the soon to be out-of-contract players, are not actively seeking employment for July than they are playing fast and loose with their own future. If I could not be offered a contract at all by my present employer (who may get liquidated too) and my contract is running out in three months, then I would be spending most of my time job-hunting. The fact that Rooney is getting as much as he is from players that are concerned about their future is probably his greatest achievement.  

And if he was getting stick from a few people who cannot see beyond their own interests, imagine what the reaction would have been if he went to Forest in January! 

Best of luck Festy!

You've centred on part of my quote but entirely ignored the other part it seems.  As I said, too look for a contract elsewhere is to be  expected.  Transparency would also be nice along the way however, then this issue of duplicity doesn't arise.  

This behind a paywall so I can't read it .  If you have access though, it might be informative.

There's no tapping up. He's free to talk to foreign clubs, and has been for a while.

Is there no issue though if he has also been speaking to Watford to avoid a tribunal fee and get a higher signing on fee.  Effectively, he's still signing for a UK club prior to June by the back door and with less compensation to Derby.  We have enough people having our pants down without our own players starting.

McClaren was on co-comms for Five Live a few years ago and was saying he was umming and awwing between ‘we’re playing well and look like breaking them down any minute’ and ‘get him on, might slightly affect the system but a major threat’.

He was going to bring him on for extra-time, he’d decided.

The big mistake in that one, was not playing a midfielder whose link up play and goals had got us that far till the last 20 minutes for me and I have no idea why he brings on Dawkins for Russell when you need a goal and the only thing stopping you is Richard Dunne.

I can't believe he's getting stick over this move. 

He's in the last couple of months under contract, to a club that can offer no guarantee of existing in a few months time, never mind being in a position to offer him an extended contract!

If reports are to believed, he's found himself a new club, picked up a €1m signing on fee, and €1.25 million in wages for the next 5 years.

We can't offer him anything, what would you do in that situation?

 

I don't think the sticks over the move.  Correct that he may want to sign a contract if we can't offer him one, particularly with his history of injury.  People are, I feel rightly peed off that this was on the go as far back as 5-6 weeks, despite denials to his manager who had to force this information out of him in the last two weeks as his performance has dropped considerably.  If he wanted off, we could have got a decent fee in January but this move, with its convoluted passage to Hertfordshire, with a big signing on fee means we get sod all.

He shat his pants at the price and screamed like a baby when asked to cough up more.  He is now irrelevant as far as we go.  No chance he offered anywhere near 50 million or he'd be here now.  He bought a club in the short term and will never have a chance of getting his investment back as he didn't have the right levels of cash to facilitate the long term project.  He now just looks like some jealous ex trying to poo stir.  Sad man

Close the door and say bye, don't play him again.

If its true he turned down a move in Jan, albeit to Forest, he has cost us a transfer fee plus no doubt a potentially lucrative sell on clause.

Not only that, he signs for Udinese to help Watford get around the rules and ensure we miss out on what could have been a decent amount of compensation.

I certainly thing that old fashioned phrase' tapping up' needs to be investigated .  Unfortunately we don't have anyone to do it at the moment.

There is no loyalty in football anymore, that went out the window many years ago.

There hasn't been any loyalty in football for years.

I'll give Curtis Davies a pass on that one but I can't think of others lately at the minute.  Perhaps Bellingham at Birmingham, he seemed to do alright by them.  Even fans favourite Bryson had to be given the clubs first monster contract with wage to match over 5 years to not go to the football titans of Burnley.

A little off topic, But I have, I was in Saltzberg a few years back, When arriving at the hotel we were given our key card and shown where the dining room was for our breakfast, On the lash all day, Went to bed , Showered and off for my breakfast, Sitting down and eating I get a tap on the shoulder, I look up and it's the waitress, Yes I said, Can I have your room number, 321, Sorry she said you're in the wrong dining room this is for the Russians, I opologised and said it want happen again.

The next Morning I go to the right dining room, The same waitress greets me with a smile and shows me to my table, One look at the buffet and my eyes popped out like stalks, It was an Aladins cave of foods and cakes, Far far better than what was in the other dining room, I asked the waitress, Why were Russians allowed their own restaraunt, Very simple..."they eat like pigs"  "take all the food there is"  "and leave the place in a mess"

They also spend a shed load on cash, Don't understand what a round is, They only bought their own drinks rather than in groups, And drank until there's no booze left.

As opposed to the Australian blokes I met at a pub in Nottingham years ago whilst the cricket was on, whose "rounds" were a pack of 24 bottles for 6 people, including a 16 year old me who'd just started venturing out in earnest and couldn't remember getting home.

Marriott (in term so the amount we paid for him)

 

got us to the big league cup game at Chelsea with extra sponsorship,  got the goals in the FA cup to set up the Leicester match.  Gave us the fun of beating leeds and 1.5- 2 million in money getting us to the final.  Fancy we might have won that final if chunky boy had played him from the start as well.  I can think of far worse signings.  4 years of  free European tours and one penalty for Blackman on 20 k a week springs to mind.
