Dunno when they’ll start to realise it’s not the players fault. If the McKenna deal goes through, they're a right winger off a new 4-4-2 lineup Taylor - Guerrero Freeman - Colback - Bachirou - RW Blackett - Mbe Soh - McKenna - Christie Diallo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 Amazing how the EFL haven’t looked into this, his second club is their FFP bailout. All it will need is Forest to beat Boro to a play off place..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd lose any case they tried to bring against them though since they are the worlds most incompetent organisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this happens complain about it with all guns blazing. Normally take this kind of thing as oh well everyone looks for these loopholes . But seeing as we've spent the the summer being dragged over the coals why should we. What's good for the goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Only was to stop it is to change the rules. Maybe it’s another reason why some people are pushing for a wage cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Yeah, absolutely no problem with the Forest owner owning two football clubs and funding it this way. As GoC said: if it's a problem then by all means change the rules to stop the same owner of two clubs selling players between them. Equally, buy another football team and do the same thing. It's not their own rule - it can be exploited by anyone. GenBr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olton Ram Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 The size if their squad is ridiculous. I don't know why a player would consider moving to Forest at the moment; it's career suicide. Unless all you're bothered about is money and you don't care about playing (e.g. Anya) why would you risk being nowhere near the first team and just training with the kids? And if/when Louis Spence gets sacked, and a new manager comes in, some of them will be even further away from the team. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Lampard was on record as saying that he'd had the chance to go out on loan to play football and he'd turned it down, so he ended up playing with kids here. I personally don't blame him, he did what was best for him and was always available to play for Derby, but if I had the talent to be a professional footballer I'd want to be playing. I wasn't having a go at his attitude, which by all accounts was absolutely fine (although Lampard appeared to be frustrated with him) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather just scrap FFP entirely and start again, because at the moment it does nothing to level the playing field or to stop clubs going bankrupt.

Olton Ram Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Signings number 10 and 11 of the transfer window incoming down the A52: Aberdeen defender and some unknown Greek bloke. https://www.nottinghampost.com/sport/football/football-news/nottingham-forest-transfer-news-live-4536979 They must have four or five players for every position now.

Our starts to the season are similarly disappointing, but I feel like we are fairly optimistic that we’re looking for a couple of key additions and then we’ll rocket up the league. I wonder if forest fans have a similar sense of optimism. Does this look like a manager buying a couple of key additions, once they bed in they’ll be on fire? they were narrowly 7th in his first season. Did he really need 11 new players?

There's more than a whiff of panic buying about the whole process looking from the outside. Maybe some of our Forest visitors can give an insight on how they're feeling about it. At least at our own club there's a feeling that there's a long term plan in place (living within our means, bringing through young players); I don't know what Forest are trying to achieve with all these new players. And as for their wage bill....... SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
