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.

Pleased with the win but when will we learn to take our chances and not be subject to pressure from silly equalisers?
Zinchenko Ndoye and McAtee very poor tonight pleased for Jesus with his goal. Morato for once looked comfortable, Murillo just fantastic.
1.) 11 Dec 2025 20:25:19
Morato had a good game.
2.) 11 Dec 2025 20:55:24
Funny that redfrog as on live chat you said these players are rotten to the core and you missed the goal cus you where clearing cat rubbish off your drive ???.
3.) 11 Dec 2025 21:45:27
I thought you was watching game ?? if you had watched it you would of seen how crap were apart from morato murrilo and mgw and Jesus when we were in trouble.
4.) 11 Dec 2025 22:24:15
I watched the game and looked after
You do realise we can look at live chats after the games? ????.
5.) 12 Dec 2025 05:09:30
I'm glad you take time out to have a look ?.
6.) 12 Dec 2025 07:52:51
No point going on there during a game, because that's the last thing you talk about skeggs ?.
7.) 12 Dec 2025 09:04:07
That's a shame we love hearing all about your predictions ??.
10 Dec 2025 20:09:47
For me some of the worst signings have been Morata, Kalimuendo, Sangare and McAtee. Fair few million there down the pan. Ndoye has done little since arriving, I don’t think Jesus is a premier league striker though he has, of late, had little service.
Add to that the injuries we have, and the completely bonkers appointment of Posta-no-clue and it’s a recipe for struggle, division and failure.
I still maintain Nuno knew he couldn’t do much with this squad and augmented his own exit, the rest, as they say, is history.
We will be lucky to avoid relegation this season, one that held so much promise for everyone connected to the club.
1.) 10 Dec 2025 22:00:33
Cheered me up no end that Frog!
2.) 10 Dec 2025 22:18:24
Who really knows about the players above. All we can say that since SDs arrival the club from a nose dive has now stabilized. We are hearing once again negative comments. We have had two recent losses in the league.
Let’s see how SD and the team react. SD kept Burnley up and Everton so I have no doubt he will keep Forest up. It maybe Maranakis wants De Silva, but I think we will end up higher then them and West Ham x.
3.) 10 Dec 2025 22:50:17
Redfrog, he'd already done something with the squad, if only he'd have trusted in the new players, or at least given them a chance?
He'd never of got away with the tight knit squad he always wants?
Everywhere he goes it's about that tight knit small squad, great if you get no injuries?
But he knew this season that wasn't possible, so a big squad essential?
I wish he would of given it a go tbh
He had the nucleus of players and given additions to help cope with 3 games a week, but didn't try it
He had the fans on hus side, he had everything going for him, but decided to publicly take the owner on?
No way back from that and in reality a great shame for NFFC.
4.) 11 Dec 2025 00:26:59
Love each other or hate em, guess what gentlemen? We all support the same club, through good times and bad. Who would have thought that when coops took over when we were sat bottom of the championship that just a few years later we'd be in a European competition and arguing about if our £30 or £40 million signings were hit or miss. Coops went because of inflexible tactics and Nuno came in, after a magnificent season he fell by his sword and more inflexible tactics. Now we have Dyche who is in my opinion learning to be less inflexible with the most talented squad he's ever had.
Oh sorry i forgot Ange, to be fair on him we did actually play some exciting stuff going forward but unfortunately forgot all the parking the bus between the white lines stuff.
We dig at each other, slag each other off and argue to the point that the Eds must think we're mostly insane, but isn't that what families do?
One big red family ? (apart from DTP, he adopted) ?.
07 Dec 2025 20:35:45
And there we go again. DTP telling people to behave or criticising them or their posts. I have an opinion. I pay my hard earned cash in following the team. In my opinion we are in real trouble, we have made poor signings, there is little team spirit and we have a manager who at best is limited, though in my experience doing a decent job under the circumstances.
1.) 07 Dec 2025 20:47:47
You need to learn I'm only jesting redfrog.
2.) 07 Dec 2025 21:01:31
We're doomed, I tell yer We're doomed
Anyone wanting to complain can have my seat but bring your own bedsheet ???.
3.) 07 Dec 2025 21:57:53
Hopefully Murrilo will have got over Covid for Spurs and MGW will try to impress Spurs for a move in January and a place in the world Cup squad we'll that's my positive view on the next premier game ?☕?.
4.) 07 Dec 2025 22:37:36
Behave jester ???.
5.) 07 Dec 2025 23:08:29
Should of sold mgw for 60 million never see that offer again I wouldn't give 15 for him.
6.) 08 Dec 2025 00:41:48
Two packets of dry roasted and a fresh steaming pint of one of Bowies bombay badboy pot noodles?
Come on skegs you know you'd take that. ?.
7.) 08 Dec 2025 10:34:32
Should have would have could have sell half of the squad bring in Tarkoski Garner and any other Dyche old boy and we will shoot up the League, tark would make a great line backer. Has for MGW 20 million and Johnson will do.
8.) 08 Dec 2025 12:25:24
2 pints of lager and a kebab sarnie would seal the deal.
9.) 08 Dec 2025 13:30:44
Snob ???.
07 Dec 2025 16:08:34
Real guts this weekend from Leeds and West Ham, can’t help to contrast this to our last two games where we have been so poor.
1.) 07 Dec 2025 16:26:01
Nuno was robbed.
2.) 07 Dec 2025 16:37:31
I agree RF, we lost against Brighton at home and West ham as good as beat them away from home. If West Ham had won we would have been back in the relegation 3. We cannot wait until various players are fit. Winning is a habit and the loss against Brighton and Everton were not good.
Sadly 4/ 5 of the goals scored against us in these two matches were easily avoidable.
We don’t have a Bowen - who according to the BBC is single handed dragging West Ham up.
3.) 07 Dec 2025 17:02:04
Dont worry Nono we'll soon be in that bottom 3.
Just have faith Dyche is in full cry.
4.) 07 Dec 2025 17:22:54
Realistically though everyone would have been delighted with six points from
Liverpool away
Brighton home
Wolves away
Everton away before a ball was kicked.
5.) 07 Dec 2025 17:29:05
But we've just took 6 points from our last 4 games, west ham have took three, we beat Liverpool away and west ham list to them at home
Just saying.
6.) 07 Dec 2025 18:01:15
Have to agree with both Nononuno and Redjester - my next live game is spurs and I’m honestly not looking forward to it. If Morato plays we will lose - he’s been bloody awful most games he’s played. Always has a mistake or two in his locker which always seem to lead to goals in our net.
7.) 07 Dec 2025 18:26:14
Redfrog mate your glass is always empty
You just think the worst.
8.) 07 Dec 2025 18:30:11
I'm not happy with 3 points from Brighton, Everton, Wolves. It's not good enough.
9.) 07 Dec 2025 19:09:53
We will be lucky to get a point from our next 5 games.
10.) 07 Dec 2025 19:20:22
Cyclist behave.
11.) 07 Dec 2025 19:34:15
So will west ham, Burnley, wolves Leeds and Fulham skegs
Burnley six defeats on the bounce, west ham no wins in four, wolves no wins at all and Fulham playing better than us all but still keep losing
That's football.
12.) 07 Dec 2025 19:47:39
If only football worked like it does on paper, we'd all be millionaires ????.
06 Dec 2025 17:04:52
Absolutely atrocious performance again. Lack of spirit and togetherness really evident to me.
VAR are still looking into an incident - that being if we actually turned up today.
1.) 06 Dec 2025 17:11:15
How well everton are playing without dyche.
2.) 06 Dec 2025 17:26:43
Wouldn't say Everton are playing well, we just gave them 3 goals and you can't do that to any team.
3.) 06 Dec 2025 17:27:24
Yeh have to agree Skegs - mind you Moyes is a superb manager.
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.
12 Dec 2025 14:46:04
Ndoye needs a rest. He started with us quite well but has slipped of late. CHO looked quite good against Utrecht - I would go with him and Hutchinson.
12 Dec 2025 13:22:38
DTP Can you stop poking other posters for once? We won, we are delighted, but if we have an opinion which is different to yours then please just leave it alone.
IGNORE our posts. Nudge nudge wink wink- unsurprisingly we do mostly ignore yours ??.
11 Dec 2025 13:17:15
Munmad I pay my money and am entitled to an opinion. If the team plays well I will say so. If the team plays badly I will say so. I am entitled to an opinion because I travel from Lincolnshire to most home games and a lot of away games.
Do I remember Donny and Rotherham away? Of course l do because I WAS THERE. Like I was at Crewe, Yeovil, Peterborough etc etc etc …….
09 Dec 2025 05:40:50
We will put out a dead beat team for sure given our involvement in Europe. Expect a rough afternoon. If we put a decent team out I would have gone but just can’t see it myself.
07 Dec 2025 18:01:15
Have to agree with both Nononuno and Redjester - my next live game is spurs and I’m honestly not looking forward to it. If Morato plays we will lose - he’s been bloody awful most games he’s played. Always has a mistake or two in his locker which always seem to lead to goals in our net.
