eddie Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I have to laugh at some of the gumps whining about Bournemouth only being given a fine for their flagrant disregard of FFP, whereas Forest have been placed in umbongo. They seem to be blissfully unaware that when Bournemouth racked up huge bills, their chairman paid them, whereas the Fridgemeister maxes out his credit card when failing to pay hotel bills, tax bills, bus fare, match ticket bills, toilet repair pills, Andy Reid's Just Eat bills etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I'm still looking forward to the embargo thing playing out. The only way that Forest will be out of embargo is if the owners invest cash, rather than finance the club with loans - the £13m FFP limit only applies if the shareholders put in £8m in cash, no cash input brings the maximum allowable loss down to £5m - which Forest won't get close to. So far, Fawaz doesn't appear to have invested any cash beyond buying them in the first place. If he is selling up and if his family have really lost interest, I just can't see him putting in the required equity. If Forest are still owned by Al Hazawi family, I very much doubt they'll be out of embargo. Let's see how that plays out with the ever dwindling fan base. Having said that, I think the most likely scenario is a new owner. Maybe that's why Fawaz has been telling them that they'll be out of embargo in the summer.

Day Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Isn't the owner of Olympikios (spelling?) investing and not buying the club, Fawaz is staying....or have I missed something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All just rumours at present, but why would anyone want to be a minority investor in Forest? Losing over a £million a month with a side that has only escaped relegation because there are three woeful teams in the division, falling revenues and a completely incompetent Chairman? Investing in Forest without ousting Fawaz could only make sense as some sort of tax dodge or money laundering scheme. However, there's no reason that Forest couldn't emulate Leicester with a competent and reasonably wealthy new owner, so I can easily forsee a complete takeover.

Day Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Sold them the 3rd star dream, seems like a believable bloke or maybe Forest fans are just gullible. Get us out the embargo, I'll ask Mum and Dad for some pocket money, we've got Jamie Ward that's better than Tom Ince. This time next year Rodney.... Serious head on I wouldn't be surprised if it's one of those Watford/Udinese type situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a result its been rumoured Just Eat are close to going into administration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be their new catchphrase "but but but Leicester didn't do what we did thirty seven years ago and don't forget that" I think it's replacing the two stars on next year's shrit in fact.

I was goin to say he looks too skinny to be Andy Reid's dad. But then I suppose if you live in the same house as Andy Reid, you're going to be skinny, as I don't suppose he leaves much food for anyone else. It therefore follows that Andy Reid's dad would be desperately lunging for any buffet he might see. Andy Reid's family probably need a telethon before they all starve.

That's a far more thoughtful analysis than went into my post Tedd. Might I just reiterate what a great achievement has occurred today in terms of a journeyman outfit working their bits off to earn success against the established elite. Yes, I have just clocked up 1,000 "likes". I thank you all.......luvvies. .........darlings.....☺☺☺☺ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
