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.

Sky stats - posta-no-clue has lost 30 of his last 45 premier league games with both spurs and forest
That’s a staggering stat and one that if allowed to continue with certainly relegate us.
1.) 06 Oct 2025 14:19:32
Nuno has lost or drawn 15 of his last 17 matches. 8 matches before the season ended 5 in row season I match win against Brentford and one draw against Everton with WH.
2.) 06 Oct 2025 14:37:01
The Greek Father and Edu should of done their homework prior to giving Roo Ball the post.
Poor due diligence equals poor expectation.
3.) 06 Oct 2025 16:14:05
Couldn’t agree more, he’s the last of the currently unemployed coaches you, d have picked for the vacancy.
Edu OUT!
4.) 06 Oct 2025 16:35:03
Nonuno we get you hated Nuno but Ange has a terrible record.
Would you give him more time to send us deeper down the league?
The team isn't buying into his ethos.
5.) 06 Oct 2025 17:11:50
Bit naughty counting pre-season games Nonunono.
If you don't then it's 5 wins, 6 if you go back 18 games.
When are you planning to change your name to Nonoange? ?.
6.) 06 Oct 2025 17:36:10
Wonder how many nick names he has now?
?.
7.) 06 Oct 2025 18:12:52
The 17 before the last 17 were pretty decent.
8.) 06 Oct 2025 18:54:21
Apparently Graham Potter is in the pipeline to replace koala ??
9.) 06 Oct 2025 19:19:01
If Ange stays until xmas we'll need Harry Potter to weave some magic in the dressing room, not Graham. ?.
06 Oct 2025 07:55:14
Morning all. There is a new manager entering the race for the Forest job. He is Neal, my local coop store manager. Knows nothing about football and is as dull as dishwater so compares well to the current incumbent. But his surname of smith is easier to spell than Posta-no-clue.
1.) 06 Oct 2025 16:50:15
Cometh the hour cometh the man, come home the son of "God", I don't mean Igor. It's time for Mr Nigel Clough!, I really hope it happens in my life time.
05 Oct 2025 16:57:31
Right I’m not out to really bash a man when he is down but this clown takes the biscuit. Last season AP blamed everything on injuries at spurs for their 17th placed position. So mr Aussie big balls what’s your excuse now? Because our injury list isn’t so bad. It’s clear you haven’t a clue and it’s an utter embarrassment your being paid for the “job” your doing. Hang your head in shame. Can you imagine a summer signing thinking he’s going to play under Nuno only to have this clown inflicted upon him? No wonder the players are at sixes and sevens. ANGE OUT NOW.
1.) 05 Oct 2025 17:38:22
There doesn't seem to be anything from Ange on the touchline.
He shakes his, no interaction with player's no barking order's.
He's a delusional empty shell.
It's not his fault he's here the fault lies with Edu and Marinakis.
The Greek Father has a decision to make this evening.
The want of Silverware and progress from Marinakis has clouded his poor judgement and decision making.
Mr M with patience and time your wish would of been rewarded with glory.
Instead you have done the opposite!
2.) 05 Oct 2025 17:55:06
Spot on ripley.
3.) 05 Oct 2025 20:30:52
Said same at Burnley away he was stood there hands in pockets hood up like a pensioner waiting for a bus in the rain
I think he will get til Nov break, see where we are then
No matter what we just cannot go down or we will be gone for another 20 odd year's.
04 Oct 2025 06:51:35
Morning all, a day closer to trial by Toon. I’ve given my ticket to my nephew, going to stay home and have some Sunday lunch with my good lady.
I think we will get a humiliating drubbing but we can hope for a 0-0.
1.) 04 Oct 2025 10:57:03
To really humiliate us, they may pick there second string players?.
02 Oct 2025 20:38:23
Well what an atmosphere and brilliant support. Made to watch this rubbish, I can’t believe how poorly we defend.
1.) 02 Oct 2025 20:52:05
Is there a bus parked anywhere in West Bridgford do we know?
2.) 02 Oct 2025 20:52:28
Nearly identical goal like the the Sunderland winner.
3.) 02 Oct 2025 21:14:32
Nice Norfolk ??.
24 Dec 2024 20:15:34
Err no thanks. He turned us down before. Why bother calling z he’s just not worth it.
22 May 2024 20:47:46
Well if he does go we will get some compensation. Skegs can be our next manager from the luxury of his seaside recliner. How ya fixed Skegs? ?.
21 May 2024 05:35:02
Perhaps he needs a bit of time Stokey but I have a feeling he’s just not quite the man we need at present. However he has kept us up under difficult circumstances but how much of that was more luck than judgement is anyone’s guess.
It would perhaps be a tough call to sack him.
20 May 2024 12:47:31
If he leaves I hope we aren’t paying him off. I’m no fan of Nuno but perhaps, just for once, we give a coach a chance with the transfer policy he actually wants? We certainly look more capable of scoring goals under him but the defensive side of things has been atrocious. Stability is needed all round.
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.
06 Oct 2025 07:52:41
Add to that the foul in the build up to the Danish sides breakaway third goal.
04 Oct 2025 16:30:33
I find it more embarrassing that a perfectly decent manager wasn’t listened to and backed correctly. Nuno knew what was needed. We instead signed loads of players- many that weren’t needed. The rest is, as they say, history.
03 Oct 2025 14:13:03
100% bsred
This is all self inflicted. I have never, in all my years, seen or heard anything like that last night. Around me, to a person, everyone chanted your getting sacked in the morning. Everyone. Man woman and child. Whether that’s right or wrong remains to be seen. But with a stack of hard premier league games ahead I honestly don’t think AP has much of a lifeline now. Another three or four games like that and he’s gone. Who we replace him with is another question. Such a shame about Nuno, but I think to some extent if we are brutally honest he did engineer his own demise.
02 Oct 2025 22:10:48
Everyone singing getting sacked in the morning around me. Everyone, man woman and child. Never seen such anger from some people either. Wow what a poisonous appointment he is, it’s an absolute tradegy.
02 Oct 2025 14:55:34
Rogie I finished at 1 mate, back home, shave shower and off to my mates for a lift down to Nottingham. Few beers and off for my pre-match burger. Can’t wait.
