Kernow Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Could be an important goal for Sheffield United that. It's set up a bit nicer for the second leg now. Not sure if Forest have ever lost a play-off semi final after taking a lead into the home leg before?

No one has ever lost a championship play off semi final after taking a lead into the home leg, apart from Leeds against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistoldPete Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Maybe a psychological blow for Forest conceding late on. They have previous form. Where was Billy sharp when we needed him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah but Forest were 2-0 up after the Yeovil play off game in league One. Then look what happened. Rammy03 and RadioactiveWaste 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My order of preference is anyone A-Z who isn't Forest It’s mostly because I don’t want to see the same parachute payment teams yo-yoing between the divisions. Sheffield United and Huddersfield both fall into that bracket. You know Norwich and Watford will be up there next season. It’s becoming a closed shop. We need some of the parachute payment clubs to basically do a Cardiff. angieram and DCFC Kicks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they transfer their players between Forest / Olympiacos that just happen to both be owned by their owner. Latest transfer being Carvalho for an “undisclosed” fee - likely to be the amount to keep them within ffp. EFL don’t appear to see any unfair advantage though, nothing to see here.

Crewton Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Forest certainly favourites now, but there's always a chance with Brice "I'll flap 'til the end" Samba in goal. Rammy03, Mucker1884 and Premier ram 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean why they didn't cash in in Jan to cover that 5 million centre half, 12 loans and a huge wage increase in 18 months Selling their Portugese wonder kid who played about 20 games in 4 yrs for that 13.5 million they splashed out helped. Not sure where he went or how much profit was made. Anyone know.? DCFC Kicks and Rammy03 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 That they haven’t closed the loophole is bizarre. I mean, what’s stopping an owner buying some random club in Chile or something, purchase one of their players for £50m before sending him back on loan with a view to a permanent free transfer. It creates a £50m FFP buffer for the selling team. What Watford and Forest have done shouldn’t be allowed. It’s no different to shifting assets like the stadium between company accounts.

Bris Vegas Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Ultimately, nobody would bat an eyelid at any of these if FFP didn’t exist. It’s clearly broken. It was flawed from the start. Scrap FFP and it would stop the likes of Wolves, Forest, Watford, Derby, Reading, Sheffield Wednesday and many others from coming up with ‘creative methods’ to ultimately allow them to spend what they like. We’re way past that though. What Forest have done is wrong, but only in the context that swapping assets and having owner’s own sponsors fund the club is wrong too. Scrap it all and just allow owners to spend what they want as long as they are forced to cover the debts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
