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.
1.) 03 Jan 2024 06:51:49
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.
1.) 14 Jun 2023 19:19:09
Has to be untouchable this window.
2.) 14 Jun 2023 22:11:23
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.
16 Apr 2023 13:31:07
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 ?.
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!
12 Apr 2023 06:09:41
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.
1.) 12 Apr 2023 20:49:19
Did a great job at Southampton by all accounts.
2.) 13 Apr 2023 06:44:06
Let's give it a go and see what happens. Januaya complete disaster in the transfer market ?.
11 Apr 2023 18:39:09
sporting director, Filippo Giraldi, has been relieved of duties
Only been here 6 months.
Big M sharpening his ace as we speak.
1.) 12 Apr 2023 12:02:35
To me that indicates once again he's not happy with the transfers we've brought in.

I agree with Skegs and many others below- we have EVERY RIGHT to complain about the abysmal referee decisions this season. What do people want? For us to slap them on their back and blow smoke up their arses telling them how wonderful they are? It’s a shambles and we are the ones suffering WEEK IN WEEK OUT. Enough is enough- I’m behind the club 100%.
1.) 24 Apr 2024 12:54:10
So am I!
2.) 24 Apr 2024 13:22:48
Just a quick one for skeggs and balloons, in Nottingham there is a local chat room called NEXT DOOR, last Monday someone posted about a person in sneinton who was sun bathing in the nude on Sunday, unfortunately the sun lounger collapsed and the mans testicles got trapped in the loungers mechanism. The fire brigade had to be called and an ambulance attended. I saw the now removed photos on the site pretty graphic. So my fellow reds when the sun shines over the east coast please take care and check your recliner before use. Don’t want any more mishaps do we.
3.) 24 Apr 2024 13:53:20
I'm not embarrassed. Teams have complained about the officials forever.
4.) 24 Apr 2024 14:37:02
Also, who gives a flying fook what other fans think? Since when has what other supporters say about us mattered? We are the Red Army! Up yours suckers!
5.) 24 Apr 2024 16:10:52
Difference is, we had the balls to call them out!
6.) 24 Apr 2024 17:04:17
That sounds a load of Boll—— Red Vale
CARLO
??.
7.) 24 Apr 2024 17:10:30
It wasn't skeg's private parts trapped in the recliner Vale, there not big enough but he doe's talk a load of balls ???.
8.) 24 Apr 2024 17:27:19
How do you know?
CARLO.
9.) 24 Apr 2024 18:03:29
It’s absolutely true, Sunday in Nottingham was very sunny, cool wind but if you get out of the way you could take in the sun. I would loved to have seen the firemen’s faces.
10.) 24 Apr 2024 21:50:49
As an ex fireman …… I can honestly say this is a thing. Although more just on a standard plastic garden chair.
11.) 24 Apr 2024 23:01:31
I'm sensing that a 'King Billy and his Fortress' attitude is emerging here again. Just remember where that got us in the past.
12.) 25 Apr 2024 11:14:16
If we go down, let's go down fighting. No quietly going, apologising for daring to call out the incompetence. How dare we challenge the big boys club.
22 Apr 2024 18:17:38
I’m delighted with the stance our club has taken. Why? Because someone has to stand up and say it how it is. Someone needs to stand up to the bully and give as good as they get. Some of the decisions this season against us have been scandalous. I pay hard earned cash to follow us all over the country. It’s an entertainment industry isn’t it? Well I’m not feeling very entertained watching pathetic decisions week in week out and walking away feeling that I’ve been cheated. It’s apparent we aren’t a good team. It’s apparent our manager isn’t up to much. It’s apparent that PGMOL is either incompetent or corrupt. Stand up folks and shout it loud and clear. We won’t put up with it longer, we won’t go quietly into the night. Next home game shout it loud so every cameraman and radio station picks up on our feelings
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ?.
1.) 22 Apr 2024 18:58:54
"THIS IS OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY"!
???
???.
2.) 22 Apr 2024 19:52:56
I hear ya Rogie ???? ?.
3.) 23 Apr 2024 06:26:11
Heard we are in talks to sign Will Smith. well I suppose he would definitely help with our "Close Encounter" with relegation!
???.
4.) 23 Apr 2024 14:21:27
That was a serious war cry frog. I'm fired up!
21 Apr 2024 16:03:24
I don’t generally post here now as you all know.
But what a club statement on X
READ IT.
You will agree.
The VAR operative today? A Luton fan. WOW
You couldn’t make it up. This needs real investigation because it’s disgusting if true.
1.) 21 Apr 2024 16:21:51
Froggy son. Like me it's only been a week or something ? come here and giz a cuddle. Keep that pecker up. Ya know we luv ya. Just got to live with it. My only thing I'd say to you is, even if you have to lie. Put the odd productive post in.
2.) 21 Apr 2024 16:34:35
Love ya Bowie.
Sod off Derby
That’s about as positive as I get ?.
13 Apr 2024 19:40:21
Ed can you please cancel my account permanently. I don’t feel comfortable on the site given my point of view.
Many thanks and happy forest supporting everyone, but I am entitled to me views regardless.
Best wishes RedFrog.
{Ed033's Note - ok, best of luck.
1.) 13 Apr 2024 21:29:46
That's a shame redfrog goodbye mate.
08 Apr 2024 19:57:08
Well Everton given a further two point deduction- I was hoping they would get more ?
Been a few very bad days for us, other results going against us and a bit of a drubbing at spurs. Let’s hope we turn it round against wolves, if we don’t then I guess we really are in the mire.
1.) 09 Apr 2024 08:45:22
Even if we lose against wolves it still won't be has bad as you like to make out it will go to the wire Luton have no chance of picking points up against city and Brentford and Everton are still in with a shout of getting in bottom 3 so I'm not panicking at the minute ?.
2.) 09 Apr 2024 12:09:38
Skegs I Agree mate, some really pessimistic stuff on here. I think we’ll beat wolves,
3.) 09 Apr 2024 12:30:58
I have to agree with you Skaggs as well, wolves aren’t as good as they seem, we can get something at Everton and them up in South Yorkshire. I even think Chelsea are doable if the crowd can get behind the team.
4.) 09 Apr 2024 12:36:05
Hey Stevie April fools as gone ? all depends again on what team he puts out and what tactics he sets us up with we have the players to win this game and as far as I know the first team strikers are out injured for wolves.
5.) 09 Apr 2024 13:25:35
Skegs I’ve always said if you say something I agree with I’ll say so,
12 Feb 2024 20:09:09
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.
29 Nov 2023 21:54:43
The bin dippers couldn’t afford all three.
21 May 2023 16:52:40
Yes apparently he has interviewed twice for the position.
18 Sep 2021 10:27:41
Brilliant, another Hughton. Loves 1 up front and lots of defensive midfielders.
More boredom then- and to pay £1.2 million for his services is nothing short of a bad joke.
07 Aug 2021 10:54:52
I thought he had rejected us earlier preferring to fight for his place and play in premier league?
Could be another Grosiki.
24 Apr 2024 21:17:41
Have to agree Bowie. I’m really worried mate as we seem to be sleepwalking to relegation. And yes, the players need reminding just what an honour it is to pull on our Garibaldi.
24 Apr 2024 19:13:02
I couldn’t agree more Bowie. We need a manager who thinks outside the box, a leader of men and an inspiration to those around him. Sadly I don’t think Nuno is the answer, he’s not what we need at this time. In fact to be honest I think he’s been quite poor but no doubt the referee and VAR bias hasn’t helped him one bit.
24 Apr 2024 16:36:06
Mark Robbins for me. Done brilliantly at Coventry on a limited budget. When cooper was sacked I wanted Glasner- he’s doing well now at Palace.
22 Apr 2024 22:20:22
I agree Carlo. I can’t wait for Man City game- we need to all collectively let the ref and VAR team know just what we think. Starting on the 3rd minute and lasting for 3 whole minutes of chanting “you’re not fit to ref a match” or something similar. Take the roof off the place and let national media see we all stand together.
22 Apr 2024 19:52:56
I hear ya Rogie ???? ?.
