Crewton Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) Meanwhile, there are rumours that Forest are about to sell their £13M flop, Joao Carvalho. I bet you can't guess which club is tipped to sign him? Even more impressively, the Post manages to avoid reporting the fact that the same man owns both clubs. And it's us that deserve liquidation for trying to find dodges to get round FFP, apparently. Will the EFL be all over this?

Red_Dawn Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 3 hours ago, Eddie said: Not sure about 'dithering'. They had gone to the EFL on Friday to announce the preferred bidder, and the EFL said "No, sort out our... er, I mean Middlesbrough's and Wycombe's ... yes, that's right, spurious and illegal blackmail first or they... I mean we, are chucking you out of the league". I think Gibsons claim is absolutely spurious. There's something to Wycombe's, but you should be allowed to proceed with your change of ownership regardless of these two cases. That isn't right. Still think your admin's need to get a grip and find some money before the EFL's deadline though. Only one way to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wycombe's claim should be against Boro who deliberately delayed the appeal process. Without Gibson waving his wig around, there's a very good chance our hearing would have been held early enough for a points penalty to be applied in 20/21.

Genuine question-how would you feel as a forest fan if Derby were liquidated? If the shoe was on the other foot,I'd be gutted if forest went as a lifelong rivalry would go with it,it's one of the first fixtures I look for SKRam and RadioactiveWaste 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh how we laughed. Oh how we chortled. But I don't think we ever seriously wanted notts forest to just no longer exist. It's not like they're Middlesbrough.

Lets say if reports are to be believed, Knight is worth 8m and Lawrence 8m. Sell those pair for a cut rate 10, you're good to see the season out. I know that would effectively doom your chances of staying up, but presumably that would be preferable to the EFL kicking you out? Why would anyone bid anything significant for Tom Lawrence? His contract expires at the end of the season at which point they can have him for free. We're not allowed to extend contracts so not a lot we can do about it at the moment. All the bids we've had so far have been a bag of crisps. No point selling them if we're not getting any money from the rest of the leaches in the Championship.

Kernow Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Seeing as Shinnie was flogged for £30k, I reckon you could take the admins to the Harvester at Pride Park and Buchanan would be yours before they'd finished with the salad bar.

I could do with someone to do my gardening. Do you reckon I could buy Buchanans contract, get him to do my gardening for a week, and then sell him on to another club for a million? Great way to make a million and get my garden done. Edited January 17, 2022 by TigerTedd SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crewton Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 A general message for Forest fans currently slagging off Derby/Derbyshire and its people : if you don't like it/us, feel free to work and/or live in Nottingham instead. I've heard it's not too bad and only a half hour drive away. Eatonram and Red_Dawn 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
