You can't just spend whatever you want in the football league. The limitations will be different in League 1, but we still have to contend with the same ffp limits if we get promoted. We need to get away from the "wealthy benefactor pouring money into the club" model if we dont want this to happen again. If we want to add anything other than free transfers on low wages the club will need to sell some of the few gems we have left RadioactiveWaste, Iniestagram and RipleyRich 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammy03 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) Again on Sky sports before the game they said that the reports of Chris Kirchner only paying 10 pence in the pound were 'wide of the mark.' Sky believe that the EFL have agreed to him paying 35 pence in the pound over 3 years meaning there will be no further points deductions.

For a player who was a CF and then an AM Rooney's ability to get the best out of his forward thinking players, despite his myriad good points, is a cause for concern. Who are they? I'm not sure I get what you're saying. RamuelLJackson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no Forest game and no games against recently relegated Prem teams with good players etc. We regularly get north of 30k for those kind of games. Sheffield Wednesday is normally a big crowd (assuming they don't come up), likewise Burton will probably be well attended, but that's probably it. And you can probably add a few sub 20k midweek games too - who's going to choose to come out on a cold Tuesday to watch us play Morecambe or something. It’s two fold for me. It’s what I do when the team plays at home. I go …. barring critical family stuff. Then It’s about style and the players. I’ll probably be there whoever we are playing but if we have the likes of Cashin and Ebioe playing than I’ll be battering down the door even if it’s against Blogsworth Rovers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You spoke to the man himself and he openly told you the sticking point was the ground? Or you have an even closer relationship than merely meeting someone in the queue for a Bovril at half time?

I think one way to resolve it would be the City Council buy it and rent it to Derby possibly giving the council a return on their investment. Then if the time is right they could sell it back to the club. Who owns the Shitty Ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The council own the land, Forest own all the buildings on that land. I'm sure you're aware of that fact, it seems an inopportune moment to take the piss, since we currently own neither.
