It’s all the EFLs fault We broke the rules and paid for it. Our fans generally seem to accept that Nah, your saving yours for one over a bit of a rise in ticket prices or a penalty you don't get. Perhaps latch it on to the Fawaz day celebration. As for your fans generally accept it. Accept what. A reduced deduction for compliance which you then appealed. Your fans have generally moaned like f*** to the point Nottingham's sold out of tin foil hats by the way.

I don’t blame Forest for throwing money at it it just shows the lunacy of the elitist financial system in football.

Red_Dawn Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 1 hour ago, Srg said: Fundamentally, Forest vastly underperformed. They were, understandably, expecting midtable this season with the teams being promoted being so poor - and that's before it became obvious Burnley would be horrendous, because that was slightly more surprising than the other two. This can’t be contested. It’s been a dreadful season. Points dedications and terrible refereeing decisions aside. We’ve distinctly underperformed.

G STAR RAM Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 2 hours ago, Red_Dawn said: Finish 17th with the supposed lowest ever tally to survive or finish 20th with the lowest points tally ever.. I know what I’d pick. Also, the PL has changed since the decades you were in it. This 40 points to survive malarkey isn’t needed anymore. 35 seems to be more than enough given the dominance of clubs like Arsenal, Pool and City. The top are gaining more, the bottom less. Me too, I'd pick going into a division where we could be competitive every single day of the week. Not sure what point you're trying to make after that? Do you not think you should be expecting more after blowing a quarter of a billion pounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve distinctly underperformed. It’s easy to say you should be higher. But higher than who? Do you think you have underperformed because of the money spent? Or underperformed because of the quality at your disposal? I don’t think player wise you are any better than the sides above you. Palace, Brentford, Fulham and Bournemouth all have better players (and managers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve distinctly underperformed. On top of this, what are your thoughts on becoming the villains of the league? It's a title we know all too well after our financial troubles, but are thankfully starting to shift now. The victim complex, appointing Clattenburg, financial misdeeds etc. all with an owner who doesn't seem like the most likeable chap, even taking away all the accusations and charges- everything aside, he's a spoiled loser who boots TVs when something happens he doesn't like. A lot of Forest fans found our situation very funny, and were quick to jump on the high horse about clubs behaving badly. Now the shoe's on the other foot, it's curious to see many Forest fans take up the same positions they mocked us for at the time: ''the league's corrupt'', ''it's all unfair'' yada yada yada To me: you've got a dodgy owner who spaffed millions up the wall for a squad who only just scraped to safety. PL survival is always worth celebrating, but are the general circumstances otherwise?
