But ironically it is some of the clubs who have made the biggest losses that have the least probability of going bust. Under current rules a club could easily spend £100 million it doesn't have on infrastructure, but still comply with FFP. FFP exists for two reasons: 1) To keep the cosy...

Fair enough, a combination of Greg Stanley, Bill Archer, and Dick Knight stealing the cup final money left him with no alternative though. I

Yup, if I was as wealthy as PSG's benefactors, I would go for it.

He is however worth it. Zlatan is the Ronnie O'Sullivan of football IMO. I appreciate Ronaldo scores more goals, and is deserving of the Ballon D'Or, but Ibra is a complete wingnut.

I disagree, think of auditors as the dog that doesn't bark. If UEFA are not getting upset over PSG's shirt sponsorship deal, which is rising to €200 million a YEAR from QTA, then hardly expect the FL to get their blazers dirty in respect of Forest. The nature of FFP is that it is always...

So would you rather the Amex didn't exist?

Fair comment, I've checked and you are correct. Apologies.

Wise words, it's all gone very quiet on what happened to the sale proceeds when we got rid of Liam Dickenson too.

I don't have any inside information. All I have done is take last years losses at a start point, and made the following adjustments Losses £(9)million Less: Cost savings £1.5 million Less: Increased revenue £1.5 million Plus: Increased wages £3 million Plus: Stadium Depreciation £4 million...

I think there is a lot of hypocrisy here. If the FFP rules had been introduced five years ago then The Amex could not have been built, is that what you really want?

We don't spend within our means, last year we lost £9 million, the previous year £7 million etc.

Exactly, I would hate it if a bloke based in Australia for half the year stuck £160 million into the Albion.

There's no evidence that Forest's owners want a return on their investment, and if they did, why spend a fortune to get into the Premier League, which made a collective loss of £217 million in the last season for which there are published figures. If Forest's owners have the cash to splash, and...

FFP is nothing to do with fairness. If owners want to spunk big money on their club why not let them? We didn't complain when TB found £160 million to stick in the Albion.
