Forest have got a decent player there, the price shows what we are up against.

The most astute signing would be the Peterborough scouting team.

1 less than Baldock last season...oh dear

Really sick of this now.

Another change to my fantasy football league team - thanks Forest

Posh will come for CMS

Good.

2.5 million should do it.

 

[Marshy]

Good.

2.5 million should do it.

We wont sell until we have at least 1 new forward in, it will go to the final day if it happens i think.

 

[Paris]

Forest will bomb under Pearce. It's written in the stars.

 

[perseus]

Away to them in September, home game not until February. I hope we can give them a run for their money!

 

[Superphil]

Have any gone on to do anything?

CMS - no
Maclean - no
Nicky ajose - just joined Leeds so will see
Gayle - nothing major
Tomlin - started ok at mboro nothing spectacular

George Boyd?

Yep. The Macanthony & Fry double-act spectacularly gets buyers to overpay. CMS and Gayle stand out as ludicrously high fees.

I saw the Forest chairman was talking about FFP yesterday. He's quickly forgotten about it again now though.

I bet they pass ffp.

Didn't they get a huge fee for renaming their ground?

 

[churley1]

Forest chairman Al Hasawi recently raised concerns about meeting FFP and therefore sold two promising kids to Newcastle for about 8 million. A couple of days later he blows that money on two new signings despite losing 17 million last year.

Why is this only seen as an issue for other clubs to spend this money and not Brighton? BHAFC lost 14.7 million last season which is a very similar amount and you just received around 8 million for Ulloa yet the majority on here are baying for blood and want the money re-invested immediately.

Clearly Forest aren't that interested in FFP regulations but if you were to spend 8 million on 2 players, wouldn't that make Brighton exactly the same?

No is the simple answer. Barber has already stated last year we are on course to meet FFP regulations before Leo was sold. We loaded other bills onto last years accounts and that's why they look bad.

I'd rather watch paint dry than discuss all the ins and outs of the FFP shite. I want to watch football not here about accounts and P&L figures I do all that at work.

I trust you are more proficient with numbers than with the English language.

Said last season we should have bought Assombalonga he will score shed loads for Forest.
My favourites to win the Championship this season with Derby close behind

 

[Surf's Up]

Parachute payments + Watford, Charlton and Leeds style loanees and free transfers from the owners other clubs + owners giving their clubs bent sponsorship deals and ground re-naming deals + the remaining few clubs honourably keeping to the FFP rules. It's all a crock of s**t and who are the mugs?
