I've got an idea why don't we all try getting on on this site and getting behind our team
Yes we all can have differing opinions but now is the time more than ever for us red fans to stick together.

All we have to do is beat Palace and Fulham at home and we will be five points clear of Luton
They won't get any points from spurs and arsenal in their next two games and that's a cert.

If you want a fair and honest assessment of the points deduction listen to Simon Jordan. Heā€™s never usually far from the truth.
As many have pointed out the situation would, we hope, act as a galvanising force bringing the players closer together. However if it does not, and we continue to struggle under Nuno, the place will become toxic. I will cheer the lads on no matter who manages or owns the club, but I canā€™t help but feel we have all been let down so badly. Surely the club knew the rules, we arenā€™t a special case and to the Premier League we are just another promoted championship club. Our history counts for nothing.
The crazy thing is, the FFP brought in to ā€œprotectā€ clubs may well be the dagger in the back that sends us down. Hardly what it was designed for - and should we get relegated with, reportedly no relegation clauses in players contracts, we would be dead and buried.

Agree1 0Disagree

19 Mar 2024 07:01:11
I can't help but think that the moneymen within the club thought we were allowed to lose Ā£105 million over 3 years instead of the Ā£60-odd million that we were actually only allowed to lose. Hench, why we were being told by the club that everything was under control. Mistake? Incompetence? Or just bad money management?

Agree0 0Disagree

19 Mar 2024 07:41:57
At the end of the day whoever is in charge of finances got it wrong we got away with 4 points we've lost a lot more than that from winning positions so let's put it behind us now it's down to Nuno and the players to do there job and get us results.

Agree0 0Disagree

18 Mar 2024 23:39:56
A lot of this board is so negative, we're still just about in the best position as a club we've been in for a quarter of a century, no matter what this corrupt league has thrown at us, we have a fighting chance of staying up and ramming it down their throats, it should bring the whole club together, then I look at some of the stuff on this site and wonder,

Agree1 0Disagree

19 Mar 2024 08:55:32
4 point deduction in my view is neither here or there. We have matches on paper that we should win against those around us and some other teams who are going no where in this league up or down. If we donā€™t survive it will be mainly down to the players not giving their all. We are just in the relegation mix and could easily be out of this after the next match.

Agree1 0Disagree

18 Mar 2024 20:07:42
So if Brennans sale wasn't included in this time period does that mean we've now got 45 million to play with in the next load of accounts? If we stay up we might be able to sign some new players šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø.

Agree0 0Disagree

18 Mar 2024 20:44:38
God help us if we can - thatā€™ll be Another 45 million. Wasted- please put us under a transfer embargo for a few seasons.

It's impossible for a fan to understand the complexity of football finances mate
Should just say a club can't lose money?
Then football is no longer
It's pathetic and the rules are changing as they are out of date
TV tell us that when we went to Wembley it was a 200 million pound game for the winner?
They don't tell you are on your own with the other two promoted in a situation where you can't lose the same as the rest of the league.

Agree0 0Disagree

18 Mar 2024 21:32:51
2tone donā€™t forget we got sangare at the same time as Brennan left,

Agree0 0Disagree

18 Mar 2024 21:57:15
They are talking about changing the rules, so all bets are off.

The Johnson transfer money would have been included in accounting for the last season in the Championships and the two in the Prem. However, we spent a lot more in the last two than the penultimate season in the Championships but will have an extra year of the higher losses allowed. Confused? Exactly!

Meanwhile, Man City broke up to 100 rules years ago and 2 other teams are potentially going to be relegated for a relatively minor offence. Go figure.

Cyclist yep and itā€™s apparently for our own good, so we remainā€™ sustainable ā€˜ then they make a decision that could cost us 100 million, laughable šŸ¤”šŸ¤”.

I am going to get a lot of disapproval with this post but here goes. I'm glad we got 4 points and not 3. At least now we are in the relegation zone and our players can finally wake up and realise the danger they are in. I'm hoping this lights a fire under them and we finally see some proper fight, drive and commitment. Not strolling around the middle of the park and conceding in the 85 min plus every single game. Time to put your bodies on the line and actually fight for it. If not then frankly we deserve to go down. Luton are decimated, have a tenth of our budget but they leave nothing on the pitch. I hope now we might start to see the same.

Well if you look at my previous posts it's panned out roughly as I thought. Guilty plea with mitigation. I thought 3 to 5 points with the possibility of the punishment being suspended.
I think we have been double crossed by the Premier League to some extent and on appeal we will have our honesty and co operation better rewarded with 2 more points off. We deserve some punishment because the big man ignored the warnings issued by our Financial Director ( and presumably Mr Randall) of the impending breach. However this is offset by the inherent unfairness of the Premier League system which only allows Ā£60 million loss over 3 seasons ( 2, of them in the Championship for us) for newly promoted teams not in receipt of parachute payments like us. Unlike the rest of the League which is allowed Ā£105 million ( including Everton).
Our breach was Ā£35 million, more than covered by Brennans sale Ā£48 million.
I think even if the appeal fails we could go to the Court of Arbitration in Sport and get it scrubbed altogether ( but by then we'll be ensconced in the Championship).
Of course, the bottom line is that if we start stringing a few good results together the legal shenanigans become totally irrelevant.
I'm optimistic. I think our run in is much easier than Luton's and their thin squad is getting thinner with injuries etc. Plus Evertons breach is still pending.
If I were Mr Nuno I'd get the squad together and create a siege mentality, tell them the above facts and use the circumstances as a motivator! Coyr!

Some obvious points about who is a fan, in case you missed my comments below.

Certain folk don't want Cooper mentioned. You know the guy who has been most successful since Clarke and Clough. Strange? Of course, it is completely odd if you actually love the club.

The truth is that Nuno lovers don't want to mention Cooper now because Cooper did better than Nuno is. They don't like it because after being wrong for years about Cooper, they are now looking suspiciously like being wrong about Nuno too.

Some things on this site remain as predictable as ever. Wrong specialists never change their spots! šŸ˜‚

P. S. Do we miss the fist pumps? Well yes! Anyone who didn't like them is probably a bin dipper or a sheep, because we only saw them when we won games! Put that in your pipe and inhale. Talk about the obvious! šŸ™„

If you hated Cooper after finally getting back to the promised land, then don't be surprised if your loyalty is questioned. And stop trying to tell us what or who we can talk about, it's out of order. Up yours! šŸ˜˜.

You talk about what you want cyclist fact his he's gone mate you seriously do need to go and see a grievance councillor and at the end of the day nobody got him the sack on here he done that himself with the poor football and results the man u all trust in as 79 was saying yesterday maranakis the bloke who according to him his rebuilding this club and has put a lot of money into it didn't think cooper was part of his plans for going forwad that's not my fault my friend come from the big man above šŸ˜.

Boys I lived in Leicester I went through my whole childhood and teens being called for being a forest fan by the bin dippers there's nothing you could say to me that would even raise one eyebrow you just make me laugh and smile with your kiddy remarks and actually make me feel young again like I'm back at school šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£.

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 couldnā€™t inspire the crust off a rice pudding and Iā€™m sure the players must pick up on this. He just looks so disinterested.
I think the points deduction was lenient- it wonā€™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.

Agree1 0Disagree

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.

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 arenā€™t. Even you with your inflated ego canā€™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 thatā€™s the facts whether you, me or Marinakis like it or not. We are in the. Bottom 3 for a reason.

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.

Agree0 0Disagree

18 Mar 2024 18:55:05

No wonder we are in big trouble with FFP when we pay thirty five million for Sangare whos not worth thirty five thousand. Would love to know who scouted him. Mr Marinakis as done a huge amount for our club but the Sangare deal shows where he is been let down by those he puts his faith in, and to say deals like that are costing him and our club dearly now. On a more positive note if the players took a leaf out of Williams or Yeates book we would be in a much better place for sure. I still think we can just about stay up as long as Nuno picks players like the two mentioned not big time charlies like Sangare who I have never rated since I first saw him play. Also Forests best eleven must include Dominguez and CHO, both of who have not started the last games. Come on Nuno stop tinkering and pick OUR BEST SIDE in every one of the remaining nine games and we can do it. U REDS.

Agree4 0Disagree

18 Mar 2024 11:48:11
I agree with others on here who have lambasted the Sanghare transfer and especially the amount paid.
Someone at the club saw his performances in Holland where he was a big fish in a small pond and we got well and truly suckered.
Even when we buy a player for a much smaller amount, there has to be a thorough look into the players temperament and personally. This bloke seems to lack in both departments.
Reminds me of a story ( not sure how true it is) One Mr Clough called Robbie Savage about the possibility of joining us.
Savage answered the phone with a shout of " Wazza ". OBE immediately put the phone down having judged Savages character instantly.

Agree2 0Disagree

18 Mar 2024 12:53:22
Well and truly suckered again ā€¦ā€¦. Carvalho, Lingard, Sangare, Dennis, origi and many more - this just isnā€™t sustainable for a club like Forest and thatā€™s why we are getting a points deduction.

Agree3 0Disagree

18 Mar 2024 13:55:43
4 points so we're still very much in this league.
