read in paper that forest are way out on the fifa fair play rules and could be hit with a 3 window transfer ban so that's january and all next season if its true : (
1.) I believe any Transfer Embargo is until Club has losses of less than £8m, however since this will be changing from Next Season I can't see how they can legally enforce it after the change (plus will then be £13m which I believe we're under). Plus the Embargo is that if we sell a player we can sign one as long as his wages are less than the outgoing player and within the a set limit that will have been imposed.
2.) Dont forget that there is a lot of players out of contract at the end of the season and if an embargo is underway we can replace these providing the new salaries are less. Of course we will be heading for the premiership plus the ground naming deal should be done and fawaz has promised an expanded city ground if we go up. SO its not all doom and gloom, keep the faih and support the boys.

Who's out of contract end of this season.
I expect Halford Collins Harding. Who else?
4.) If we are, so are a lot of other clubs! Fawaz will sort it!
5.) When Barcelona were hit with an embargo, they were given a window to spend as they pleased prior to the embargo taking hold. If we aren't given the same, we should fight it in court. Should buy some time to spend anyway as they couldn't enforce the embargo until the legal challenge has been resolved.
{Ed003's Note - These are not FIFA ffp they are The Championship ffp rules although as you know they have been amended from 2015/16. }
6.) The existing championship FFP framework will remain in place for the rest of this season 2014/15 & next season 2015/16.
At the beginning of the 2016/17 season the financial performance of championship clubs will be closely monitored over a 3 year period.
Within this period clubs will be able to make a loss of 15mill without having to explain how that loss will be funded.
In addition to this clubs will be able to lose more than 15mill but no more than 39mill, but will be subject to additional regulations if they do so.
Such as detailed forecasting on accounts for the 2 seasons ahead.
They are the basics, then it starts to get complicated, like promotion/relegation within that 3yr period.
The current championship FFP are a joke & are completely out of touch with the reality of financial loss clubs incur, not necessarily through spending but because thier income simply doesn't't cover thier losses.
Qpr were facing a £60mill fine last season through blatant flaunting of the FFP, what would of happened if they hadn't been promoted ?
I'm thinking nothing, too many loopholes.
Faulkner said his first job as Forest CEO would be to write the FA for clarification on the fundamentals of FFP in the championship, which in his words were about as clear of mud.
I don't think we have too much to worry about;
the reporter should stick to what he's paid for reporting on the football match, although I think he mentioned we won 2-1 at the end of the article.
7.) Cough cough it's 2016/17 ed.
{Ed003's Note - There is a change from next season(15/16) that allows losses of up to £13m - you really should get something for that cough awful bugs going around at this time of year.}
8.) I stand corrected ed, the increase is during the transitional period.
Although it makes you wonder why the FA don't start the new FFP infrastructure next season.
To say the new FFP will start 2016/17 season,
but then increase it to 13mill from 6mill the srason before is a bit strange.
9.) Under the embargo we can still ad free agents to our squad providing there salary doesn't exceed 10k a week. i think you are allowed a squad of 24 or 25 players over 21 (u21's don't count as there youth and they want more youth coming through) I think we have 22 or 23 over 21's so we can still ad 1 or 2 players providing there's no fee and there wages aren't over 10k per week. that's if I heard right on radio nottingham on sat. we can also sell one and bring one in during the embargoes. we will no more in jan.
10.) Stop buying/loaning overated, overpriced injured/semi fit players that produce very little. by all means pay good money for really up coming talent like we have recently, but for gods sake i wish we would stop having our pants pulled down several times a year with obvious injury prone players. i dread to think how much money is sat in the treatment room. . AGAIN!!
11.) Do we will really need extras in the squad in the next 2 years if we stay in the championship ?
1. We can have a squad of 25 - one leaves then we can get another player but pay him a miserable £10000 a week surely not enough to live on!
2. As I understand it we can bring in players under the age of 21
3. Not sure about loans
4. Simple answer to get into the premier league this season
12.) 73 unbelivable i really did read it in the paper lol

How many times has 3 at the back been tried by various managers OG reminds me of Amorim to stubborn to use what he has to the best of there ability, Williams and aina aren't wing backs there full backs, our defends don't suit 3 at the back.
Ndoye don't even need to say anything, MGW has no runners to play to due to no width swap back to 4,2,3,1 and watch form change i know it will never happen under OG Plan B is do plan a better, what happens to managers adapting to what there up against what happened to tactics and making a plan according to what your playing.
Sangare one of our best players last season can get a game, Schlager I just don't get never have unless OG goes we will be relegated due to his complete inability to bend or admit it isn't working we can all see it pundits can see players can see it but not him, I never usually want a manager sacked but this situation has got me so angry just want him gone now as he will stick to this football no matter what.
1.) 01 Nov 2026 11:23:59
Exactly James. It's not necessarily the system per se mate, it's the inflexibility of OG and the lack of players who can change things, particularly out on the wings. Also, this system sidelines our most creative player MGW and reduces the supply to our spearhead Delap.
Wood thrived on wingers in Nunos system but even he and VP particularly had players who could change mid match if need be.
2.) 01 Nov 2026 11:36:17
Whilst sat at breakfast eating his humble pie, Mr M had better be considering ringing VP with a heartfelt apology. ?.
3.) 01 Nov 2026 12:08:51
Marinakis is too stubborn to give VP another shot.
VP had the rug pulled from him to allow the path for OG.
4.) 01 Nov 2026 12:09:25
You're right RRH, but unfortunately that won't happen as much as I and many others would like. Let's cut to the chase, the club is a shambles from top to bottom and has been for a long time now, we can't even start the rebuild until the rowing clubs decide where they want to go, and as I understand there in no rush to go and have rejected more than one location.
I just don't understand why the owner didn't get players in who can play in the new system, because these can't or won't adapt. Absolutely ridiculous and disgraceful.
5.) 01 Nov 2026 12:12:34
Completely in agreement Redjames. He's obsessed with a system and the players he's working with are irrelevant to him. His beliefs are totally unfounded.
6.) 01 Nov 2026 12:16:27
Id' drop Ndoye & play Stokie out wide on the left. There no bigger left-winger than him ?.
7.) 01 Nov 2026 12:19:30
Larry ?.
8.) 01 Nov 2026 12:28:29
??? larry.
9.) 01 Nov 2026 12:35:37
Very good Larry ! I'd do it on his wages anytime mate!???????.
10.) 01 Nov 2026 12:41:03
Whether we have the right players for the system is one thing, but to claim the guy is unfounded / not proven using the system is just bonkers.
He's just won the FA Cup and Europa League with Crystal Palace. I think he knows what he's doing.
He always starts very slowly at clubs. Did the same at Palace.
Squad possibly isn't good enough to either potentially stay up and / or play his system.
11.) 01 Nov 2026 12:41:54
Taking a leaf out of John Bishops book, I still wear a Reds shirt to Forest matches just on the off chance that OG looks over to the BC stand and says to assistants"‘you know, what ? I reckon that 70 year old over there, with the pacemaker could do a job for us.
Go over and get him to get warmed up and ask him his boot size.??????.
12.) 01 Nov 2026 12:45:20
It's bad enough the teams carrying players already, they couldn't cope with Stokeys nursing team and Zimmer as well. ?.
13.) 01 Nov 2026 13:00:44
??
CARLO.
14.) 01 Nov 2026 13:32:26
I reckon I'm still quicker than Ndoye.???
Vale, good post. I was moaning when OG was appointed at the last minute that it showed a lack of joined up thinking insofar as our wingers particularly were overnight made redundant. So Bakwa and Hutch shipped off, CHO on the bench, millions wasted mate.
Agen, good post but whilst I agree that OG is a good coach his achievements are overrated.
When you think about it he nicked an FA Cup win against a dominant Man City after an easy run to the final and won the Europa likewise ( was it Rangers on pens in the final). He was sacked at Leverkusen the following season after a run of poor form in the Bundesliga. As for the Conference, as I've said a few times, I reckon I could win that with Nantwich Town mate.
15.) 01 Nov 2026 13:49:10
The worrying thing is Stokey, you are right about Ndoye. I'd have you, Homer Simpson and Ant or Dec starting ahead of him.
16.) 01 Nov 2026 15:03:13
Hey Lego the next time we meet up at the WFCG mate, bring a Reds home shirt.you never know.???.
17.) 01 Nov 2026 15:16:44
He should! His arrogance and greed has landed us firmly in the mud! I said at the start of this season that I expected "Immediate success " given his track record.
I was so annoyed when Vitor and was prepared to give him a chance.
It's went a lot worse than I feared.
25 Aug 2026 21:42:31
Flat uninspired and zero creativity, how many managers have tried 3 at the back now we just don't suit it feels like Glasner is too stubborn to change.
26 Sep 2023 22:09:54
I see Henderson went off injured tonight good we stuck to guns about a loan to buy be interesting too see if its his thigh again.
1.) 26 Sep 2023 23:07:55
Dodged a bulket there mate
Like I said in an earlier post he didn't want to be a no 2 keeper so he's gone to Palace who have jonestone who is in the England squad?
Good goalkeeper don't get me wrong but that injury kept him out along time and first game competing he's injured again
Had more than our share of good players injured all the time, palaces problem now, but I wish the lad a quick recovery.
2.) 27 Sep 2023 03:47:37
To those of you who were moaning about us not signing Dean Henderson: He just hobbled off injured 20 minutes into his Palace debut!
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
3.) 27 Sep 2023 07:11:09
Who?
Oh. you mean the injury prone Ex Man U keeper!
Move on nothing to see here! ???.
05 Sep 2023 09:01:27
The way Mr M thanked Johnson for being sold allowing us to grow did anything one else think that it sounded like he didn't actually want to leave but we needed the money and to talked him onto signing for spurs.
1.) 05 Sep 2023 15:47:29
Absolute class. Funded a well rounded squad if you ask me. (no one does)
2.) 05 Sep 2023 17:23:21
He didn’t want to go and has made a massive sacrifice for the club he loves. I truly believe that.
02 Sep 2023 20:30:46
Have I missed something I thought Worrall was banned for 3 games due to a straight red.
1.) 02 Sep 2023 20:41:55
Not violent conduct, only 1 match. Carabao Cup v Burnley. ?.
2.) 02 Sep 2023 20:50:47
Looks like a 1 game ban dunno confused myself, rules changed? Not sure.
3.) 02 Sep 2023 20:51:49
The fact he's a straight red makes him invincible, unlike other gays in the village ?.
4.) 02 Sep 2023 20:54:53
No Red mate.
It wasn't violent conduct so only one match.
5.) 02 Sep 2023 23:32:49
And he put in some performance today as he always does
Had mcgovern as our captain when we conquered Europe
Certainly not the best of players, but obviously a leader
Joe was immense today and even more so after the sad loss of his uncle.
12 Jul 2026 13:06:21
You're forgetting we started at -80 mill so can't spend all that.
15 Oct 2021 06:52:24
I would give anyone a chance with Cooper around if he can make Yates look half decent he can with anyone lol.
30 Aug 2021 19:48:57
I remember laughing when we sold grant holt he then went and scored 20 plus goals in the premier league wait for a player to arrive before judging imo.
Im sure there is a reason but as fawaz is our shirt sponsor why couldn't he have made the shirt sponsor worth say 50 million and stopped all this as its classed as income seems to simple so i'm sure there must be rule or regulation in place
73 unbelivable i really did read it in the paper lol
01 Sep 2023 21:52:31
Quite a few of these signings were waiting for bigger offers that never came and concerns me a little.
12 Aug 2023 17:28:07
Sorry we were work in progress all last season can't use that again for this season.
27 Jul 2023 14:49:52
They have cover his name is Heaton.
12 Jul 2023 16:09:06
Does get full pay when he is banned hopefully not wouldn't seem right we pay him god knows how much for something that happened before he joined us.
12 Jan 2023 23:15:35
Moussa played 30 games and 32 season before so fine before he joined, where as Richards played 12 games last season was always seemed a strange signing.
