    Just realised... I bet Newcastle are relieved to have got that win out of the way today!

    That’s not exactly true. There are other teams that didn’t beat us that season. Barcelona didn’t beat us, or Bayern Munich. Forest definitely didn’t beat us. 

    Fulham didn't beat us that season either

    Yeah and what if Pearce is an extra-terrestrial lizard creature inhabiting the long dead human form of an ex-car room salesman?

    I reiterate again for the nth time - all I want is for him to be honest about it and not treat the fans like mugs

    "Not have to defend himself constantly"?? He's never once even tried, to defend himself, and I'm not asking him to. Just a mea culpa would be all it takes

     

     

    The point of that part of my post is that there is so much more than your "he was either negligent or complicit" line. As I said, I was playing devil's advocate and trying to add some balance to the argument.

    We don't know whether or not he had any say, or control or anything we can blame him for, we don't know if he is allowed to say anything. It is difficult to assume guilt on someone without all facts, likewise we can't absolve him of all blame.

    Administration happening before it did is not 'worse' it's the same outcome we ended up in. His management of the club's finances put us in the very real position of a week until extinction. I'm not sure how it gets worse than that from a managerial point of view. 

    If it happened earlier, say just before covid, then it it would have been worse, we would have struggled to attract anyone other than even more charlatans than what we did.

    He was CFO when Sam Rush was sacked for alleged financial irregularities. As CFO either he was negligent in policing what was going on, or he was complicit in what was going on.

    That assumes that what Sam Rush was allegedly doing was straight forward and easy to pick up on. Maybe it was quite intricate and difficult to unravel and Pearce was the one who uncovered the alleged offences?

    He was CFO/CEO throughout the MM FFP-busting glory years and eventual admin. Again he was either negligent or complicit

    Playing devil's advocate, what if Pearce reigned Mel in? What if things would have been a lot worse if Pearce wasn't here and Mel had plans to spend even more money and try to exploit even more perceived loop holes and Pearce stopped him? 

    Pearce may have signed an NDA and can't mention anything at all. Another reason is that Mel may still be a friend and he doesn't want to throw his friend under the bus, anymore than has already happened. Or it could simply be that he wants to draw a line under what could be the worst period in his life and move forward, and not have to defend himself constantly? There is more than your 2 perceived reasonings.

    It was 97, one of my favourite games. Ian Wright getting a load of stick when he missed a penalty "Ian W***, W***, W***" (reported in a national paper on Monday we were singing Wright and praising us), David Seaman getting stick after the 3rd, who gave a cheeky V sign, to get a round of England's number 1. Sturridge's goal would still be talked about if it was by someone fashionable.

    Thanks to Mel. We are in this mess.

    The reason Mel didn't apply we would of had to of had the accounts filed our 'up-to-date' accounts at companies house as a condition. 

    The EFL were only going to loan clubs the money if they were seen to be on a sound enough financial footing to repay the loan, clearly we wouldn't have been, due to reckless spending.  Mel knew there was no chance of the loan....

    We were under an investigation for ffp breaches for our amortisation policy, had we filed more accounts using the same method we would have been under further investigation, more charges brought against us, more sanctions and more points deductions sought after. If we had changed our policy the EFL would have been saying that we are admitting our guilt and used it in their attack on the club, and pushed for more sanctions. I really don't see which way the club could have gone with this. For me without hindsight, it was impossible to make the right call.

    Serial Whingers Notts Forest playtime, which we simply cannot accept.

    Seen worse decisions than that to make official complaints over.

    Make contact in the box and the player goes down, penalty, Rashford made the most of it for sure, contact was there there.

    As for the red, would Boly have prevented a clear goal scoring opportunity had Worrall not tugged at the shorts? 

    Had they gone the other way, I'm sure Forest would have taken the decisions and made a case for them being correct.

    No way that red is getting overturned though.

    And an extra game ban for a frivolous appeal?
