Worrying reports tonight that the Premier League are looking at us over financial fair play. Shame given some of the dross we have paid out for -I know we sold Johnson but it could be a serious matter for us.

They may stop us getting anymore players, which is not such a bad thing?.


2.) 03 Jan 2024 07:54:37
The Premier League will take Chelsea's and City's points deduction and give it to us and the Toffee's.


3.) 03 Jan 2024 09:29:07
Could effect a potential Navas loan?


4.) 03 Jan 2024 11:54:34
The PL is looking at everyone, it's the annual check of club accounts and we (and every other club) will find out if we've been good boys or not on 14th January. It's only the press that are targetting Forest as 'most likely', no the PL.


5.) 03 Jan 2024 14:08:01
I think we'll probably be OK:-

A few points.

We spent around 85m on wages last season; this excludes any income we received from players going out on loan.

Our liability on amortised transfer fees for last season was around 50m, you can add another 5m on top of that for loan fees.

That comes to around 140m

Our earnings from the PL will be a minimum of 114m

Our earnings from gate receipts will be around 30m, with another couple of million for the cup run.

We should have cleared another 5m from commercial rights and another 2m for additional corporate earnings.

I would guess that our earnings will be at least 150m - that would give a 30m margin of error - 10m plus the 20m we are allowed to lose

The Premier League allows any losses directly caused by the c.v. to be discounted from FFP calculations. Forest have previously said that the adverse impact of c.v. was £16.7million across 2019-20 and 2020-21.

Where we do have a problem is promotion bonuses for the year we went up. We didn't budget for these, so probably went outside the limit that season. Will we be sanctioned for that? If so, I'd say it is unlikely to be a 10 point deduction effectively for getting promoted unexpectedly.


6.) 03 Jan 2024 15:10:47
Interesting analysis RC. I've read that our championship losses used up our 'allowance'. £13 million per season and £35 million for first PL season, we overspent by £61 million before promotion.
Crux will be, what have we spent and generated in our first season back?
It would appear we're not allowed any losses, so BJ sale could be crucial. I like Forest in the news but prefer if it was footballing issues.


7.) 03 Jan 2024 22:31:21
Brennan Johnson transfer fee was 'pure profit'. Which apparently is quite important when factored into FFP. Not totally sure, though, as I've not really looked into that side of it all.


8.) 04 Jan 2024 08:44:55
Accounts for 2022/ 23 ended June, Johnson was sold in September so won't be included in the accounts.

Forest will argue they kept him beyond June to claim an extra £10m+ on his transfer fee.

Think it's going to be tight. Hopefully Big M has a few contacts.


9.) 04 Jan 2024 16:48:39
Steve, the big man does have contacts but unfortunately they’re all in Greece mate! ??.


10.) 08 Jan 2024 17:07:18
Eric Dier offered to Forest on loan apparently. sounds like rubbish to me!


 

 

14 Jun 2023 17:42:55
Brentford bid 30 million for Johnson.

Dream on.

Who’s been smoking the crack pipe down in London? Obviously we rejected out of hand.

Ivan Toney bet on us keeping him so must be good.


3.) 17 Jun 2023 10:25:44
He will want another year with us at least to establish himself as a top striker.

Well I’m in the boozer before kick off. Big rumours that Steven Gerard will be at the City Ground today. So keep your eyes out folks ?.

RedFrog

1.) 16 Apr 2023 14:03:55
More likely to be keeping an eye on parked cars for a few quid than anything else.


2.) 16 Apr 2023 14:14:02
I don’t think a young inexperienced manager such as Gerrard or Viera have any chance of saving Forest, infact it’s frying pan into the fire. Who did Crystal Palace replace Viera with a 70 yr old. We would be better with a Sam A, Harry, or Benitez.


3.) 16 Apr 2023 14:29:11
Sacking Vieira worked for palace as they brought in a manger who knows the club and players. Sacking the manager hasn't helped southampton or Leicester.


4.) 16 Apr 2023 16:30:00
'arry has sunk every club he's been to!

Forest in talks with Rangers Sporting Director Ross Wilson. Let’s hope if he does come he doesn’t sign the likes of Wood, Shelvey etc.

sporting director, Filippo Giraldi, has been relieved of duties

Only been here 6 months.

Big M sharpening his ace as we speak.

To me that indicates once again he's not happy with the transfers we've brought in.

Well we are in the bottom three now- no complaints from me. The football under Nuno has been so disappointing after a decent start. He looks to me like he couldn’t inspire the crust off a rice pudding and I’m sure the players must pick up on this. He just looks so disinterested.
I think the points deduction was lenient- it won’t make any difference in my opinion anyway because the longer we stick with Nuno the further we will be mired in the relegation zone. All so predictable.

RedFrog

1.) 18 Mar 2024 16:59:10
Redfrog I think you would of only been happy with a demotion to the championship you've never been happy with anything mate maybe if we go down.


2.) 18 Mar 2024 17:47:04
How can we complain? Honestly, how?

Spent loads on a pile of crap, the rules are rules. You tell me two transfer successes and I can give you seven that aren’t. Even you with your inflated ego can’t run a club like that.
Then we have Nuno. I know you love Nuno but to me he is a Charlatan. Just calling things as they are, the proof is in the pudding as they say. And that’s the facts whether you, me or Marinakis like it or not. We are in the. Bottom 3 for a reason.


3.) 18 Mar 2024 18:03:32
Red frog we can complain because the sanctions are being applied even handed, 2words Manchester City, , the premier league is bought and sold by sky,


4.) 18 Mar 2024 18:07:24
To be honest redfrog I wouldn't lose any sleep if maranakis got rid of Nuno tomorrow all I know at the time he came in we wasn't getting results and needed a manager with experience in the premier League and I stand by that still and forever results we need don't care who's in charge.


5.) 18 Mar 2024 18:55:05
Just read the club statement, initially quite impressed. This was tough but measured and I hope that they use this as starter for the appeal. Well said NFFC! Lots of comments critical of promoted clubs' treatment in the Prem.


6.) 18 Mar 2024 19:27:29
I read it to and thought the same Norfolk.


 

 

17 Mar 2024 17:18:47
Surely one of our old centre halves can spend a little time and come show Nuno how to defend set pieces? Paul Hart, Colin Cooper, Des Walker, Michael Dawson, Wes Morgan to name a small handful. All great defenders in their day - can’t imagine Paul Hart taking any of this nonsense of late goals and crap marking in his playing days ?.

Hey MUNMAD you said I talked crap the other day when I said Luton would cause us problems. We had barely 40% possession, midfield was overrun and Sangare, well what a waste of money. Utter joke.

Enough said.

Nuno clown out now.

RedFrog

1.) 16 Mar 2024 18:13:21
Can I just say we had plenty of chances redfrog mate, unlucky with two tbh
After first 20 mins we were in charge
Nuno blew it trying to hang on to a one nil sitting deep and inviting trouble.


2.) 16 Mar 2024 18:26:43
Unlucky or poor finishing, DTP. AGAIN!


3.) 16 Mar 2024 18:54:11
Yeh our inability to take the few chances we have in games and a leaky defence with set pieces is costing us dear. Expecting a 6 point deduction on Monday meaning we will be in the mire. Just the boost Luton need and another nail in our coffin.


4.) 16 Mar 2024 19:04:43
Watch it Derby
Unlucky, running at pace and put it where they could, good defending from luton players after the goalkeeper is beaten
The issue is with trying to hold on to a one nil by going mega defensive
The players go out to execute a game plan and it was going OK until they were faced with a new game plan by nuno
He's looked at his watch and said 10 minutes left, let's keep what we have, we all know that you can double that ten minutes now
For once he can't complain about the officials, he's admitted he got it wrong against Brighton, well he's got it wrong again
Proven premier manager?
Joke.


 

 

16 Mar 2024 06:15:33
DTP sorry mate missed your post earlier. Not going to Luton, so few tickets available mate. One place I’ve never been as well.
We need to be tough as nails today. Let’s see what happens.

We'd parked in some social club n when got back it had all windows put through

Saw many a local walking round with blades n cops literally ignoring so as not to upset the locals.


 

 

14 Mar 2024 18:09:55
We need to put a minimum of 7 points between us and Luton. Trouble is they have guts and we have none.
If we lose Saturday then it’s off to the circus pantomime for Nuno the clown.

RedFrog

1.) 14 Mar 2024 19:02:54
What a load of crap Red frog.


2.) 14 Mar 2024 19:13:04
Red frog, guts, ? They’ve just surrendered a 3 goal lead in half an hour, and actually lost the game,


3.) 14 Mar 2024 19:38:44
So Stevie you don’t think, given the squad and money spent, they haven’t got guts? Luton have had a right go this season at times, I for one take my hat off to them.

Munmad I tell you what is crap- no goals and a pile of losses that Nuno keeps on supplying. Central defenders at full back and out of form strikers playing on the wing, some of our best players sat on the bench when we so desperately need them. That’s what’s CRAP.


4.) 14 Mar 2024 19:53:47
The problem liton were always going to face was injuries
They now have 12 players injured and then it gets difficult for them
Shipped 21 goals in premier since they thrashed Brighton 4 nil
We go there fresh while they should be deflated after last night
We just have to start with right team selection, non of playing origi as a winger for starters.


5.) 14 Mar 2024 20:44:36
Red frog not really, their recent record is appalling, it’s only because everyone expected them to do a ‘ derby’ and they haven’t, that people seem blinded by them, the fact they’ve spent nothing suggests even they themselves are expecting to be relegated, the cold hard facts are, that their form is terrible.


6.) 15 Mar 2024 06:52:07
I think Luton have been a great addition to the prem. committed to actually trying to win games rather than not to lose and they will be keeping a lot of the money in the bank to help fund their new stadium. They have given the fans something to cheer about and cry about all in the same 90 mins, I’d love them to stay up as well as us.


7.) 15 Mar 2024 07:32:28
Rob Edwards said he had a squad of players that could only play one way, so we might aswell go out and attack teams, which they have
All credit to the owners for just putting their trust in him and regardless of wether they stay up or not will stick with him.
Most clubs though put pressure on the manager to survive in the premier league which brings about a more negative outlook.


8.) 15 Mar 2024 07:56:54
Their form is not good, Stevie, that is true. But they can score goals.


9.) 15 Mar 2024 14:41:26
Luton have got guts. They go for it. They're just not very good. That's why they are where they are in the league. A draw wouldn't be a complete disaster tomorrow. With our run in, I'd expect us to put at least another 5 or six points on Luton and more than Everton as well whose points deduction will probably negate ours.


10.) 15 Mar 2024 19:42:09
It’s ok folks stating that Luton surrendered a 3 goal lead…my point would be: they scored 3 goals.

Well having seen Sels live he looks crap but his kicking is better than the others. We seem to have a group of goalkeepers who are unable to make saves when it matters.
