Big congratulations to Uncle Fawaz... Why do the players modelling it all look like they are being made to do it at gunpoint? Did Fawaz threaten to withhold their survival bonus if they didn't model the new kit?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 The article about their new kit on Nottingham Post says the 2 stars are there to represent their two European Cups? When was this? I don't recall this ever being mentioned before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect an announcement on that very shortly. The interesting thing will be when we find out the source of the investment. It could well be that the Greek deal is sorted and the takeover is set to be announced. Or it could just be that Fawaz has pumped some cash in himself to sort the embargo out - either to make them a better proposition for a sale, or just trying to sort his own mismanagement out. Either way, it's not good new because Forest are now considerably less 'Mickey Mouse' - bbbboooooooooo You can't just do that with FFP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenportram Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 here it is, the embargo was lifted on 7th May, based on the fact that Fkrest had satisfied the league they would be inside FFP based on the 2015-16 accounts (as they needed to show that bu the next time accounts are scrutunised by the league they would meet the relevant regulations) http://www.forest.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=566143 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their embargo is actually still in place. The league have agreed to lift it once certain things have been put in place to bring them into compliance with the current rules. They have trimmed their squad a little and reduced their wages. Several players amortisation periods are up, so their FFP losses are likely to be below the £13m, but they only get that £13m allowance if the shareholders pump in £8m - if not they just get a £5m allowance. I expect that the League are currently scrutinising the books and projections in the light of the recent investment - I expect that they will officially emerge from embargo in the early part of next week.

I can see one 8 representing Reid and a second one being Kenny Burns (I wish he would), but haven't they got rid of Jossie? They missed a trick. Could have made a film with those three, and called it The 3 Apigos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quote from the football league person on the article I linked said the embargo will be lifted when the transfer window opens at 2:30pm on the 7th May, so it is not still in place. to be lifted now I thought they needed to show that the 15-16 accounts when scrutunised in December would meet the lower limit in place, because the £13m limit is for 16-17 accounting period not the 15-16 accounting period. Edit - just read more and I am wrong about the limits but the embargo has been lifted as confirmed by football league statements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 and from forest official site Quote Hi Nottingham Forest’s transfer embargo will be lifted by the Football League. Forest’s transfer activity has been restricted by the embargo since 2014 but, in a letter from chief executive Shaun Harvey, the Football League have confirmed the following: 'As stated within Rule 6.6 of the FFP (Financial Fair Play) rules, the embargo will be lifted with effect from the opening of the transfer window (2.30pm on 7 May 2016 for Championship clubs).' . I doubt the football league would let them state its lifted if its not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That quote is from Forest's press release - the Football League have not yet officially confirmed it, whereas they have with Fulham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think the football league would leave a statement naming one of their officials on a website stating something that is not true?
