Looks like we have made enquiries about Lewis Dunk! Plus have an offer in for Mateta- at least with Luiz going the treatment room will be thankful.

Dyche and dunk ball?
Why do we need a cart horse like dunk?

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 ?.

Well we got away with a point well done lads for a back against the wall performance. Not going to say anything about Neco he’s been brilliant this season for us. Onto the next one- battling spirit needed for sure.
01 Feb 2026 11:48:27
First goal crucial today. If palace concede it we should really have a right go at them and push on for more. These next three league games will to some extent define our end of season run in. 4 or 5 points a minimum IMO.
1.) 01 Feb 2026 14:08:41
Yep and we have it! COYR ?.
2.) 01 Feb 2026 18:52:11
I think going back I agreed with you about some of the difficulties keepers have but might have been a misunderstanding that I played keeper all the time. I know you were a good keeper. Some of the football authorities on here never played a game in their adult lives but telling people they don't know anything about football.
I've been in a few wars on football pitches and understand how hard it can be.
31 Jan 2026 09:21:32
Huge pivotal weekend for us. If wet sham lose and we win, we drag ourselves further from the trap door and pull palace firmly into the mix. As ever nothing often goes to plan with Forest but COYR ?.
1.) 31 Jan 2026 10:07:41
We love in hope.
I'm going for 3-1!
2.) 31 Jan 2026 12:23:25
Who scores first Wins.
3.) 31 Jan 2026 15:05:21
Can't see them scoring, it won't be another Brighton, but we will carry on from Thursday so 5-0 ?.
29 Jan 2026 22:11:07
Lovely night tonight at WFCG with Jesus looking good. Thought the substitutions were madness but we got through. Let’s hope for a kind draw although the second leg will be at home. COYR.
1.) 29 Jan 2026 23:03:56
Why?
Cant wrap em in cotton wool abd at 3 nil was jyst a training exercise.
29 Jan 2026 04:42:26
Morning all looking forward to tonight even if we field a second string XI, which is exactly what I would do under the circumstances. The main players need a break. Let’s hope McAtee and Bakwa finally put a shift in now the are definitely in the shop window.
1.) 29 Jan 2026 09:03:00
Whoever is picked in whatever competition should give 100% you can accept the odd game when you don't reach that level But if they become a regular non achiever it's time to move on to somewhere you feel more at home, and that's already happened with our loan players we bought in. COYR.
11 Jan 2026 16:45:17
If Edu has anything to do with it he’s probably got one leg to stand on, no pace and a bad attitude to training.
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.
01 Feb 2026 05:47:07
Ahahaha Larry post of the week can’t stop laughing ??.
30 Jan 2026 21:20:55
Man City had our pants down with McAtee time to move on. Cheers Edu.
28 Jan 2026 05:19:13
The treatment room will be relieved ??.
27 Jan 2026 08:29:35
Yes they held on at the end but a good point there - it’s a tough place to go. We have to make these games against place and wolves matter now - must wins.
26 Jan 2026 20:12:52
RedRobin and Big Larry nailed it.
