OUTRAGE!
I might have 1-2 tickets available for the Arsenal home game. If you're interested please let me know and I'll get back to you when I know for sure.
U21s won 6-1 at Radford last night in the Notts Senior Cup quarter-finals (Joe Gardner (who was on the bench v Blackpool) with 2, one for McDonnell and a second-half hat-trick for Manni Norkett (on at h-t for Osapa Esong, who was also on the bench v Blackpool).
Clipstone and Eastwood already in the semi-finals, last q-f is tonight - Carlton v Basford.
I think my son was struggling to get tickets for him and his mate for that game so pretty sure he'd be up for it if it comes off please.
Was just thinking that, on the face of it, if we narrowly broke FFP rules and get points deducted, those signings of Hwang and Bowler to loan out to Olympiacos (with the suspicion we were parking them in case they were needed for a championship promotion push this season), looks really dumb.
Although it's entirely possible they are operating on a more advanced level than I'm appreciating and those transfers actually improve our finances. Somehow.
Doesn't really change much. Just get as many points as you can.
The U21's aren't doing very well
Big second half coming up
L5-0. Oli Hammond played after Cheltenham sent him back. Ateef Konate made his return from injury.
My ITK info from tonight:
1) the club are bracing themselves for a 6pt deduction.
2) Marianakis has been to Saudi trying to sell the club.
I don't terribly like either of those things
I don't know if there's a point at which I'd make a conscious decision to not be a Forest fan any more, but that might test the idea.
How reliable is this, Florist?
Have they been right on anything? (Genuine question).
Regarding the Saudi thing, given the state already own Newcastle they wouldn’t be able to have another club. And I’m not sure it’s down to individuals
The six point thing is all over twitter, not seen anything about Saudi. To be honest not many sensible fans would be too surprised we have breached FFP. We were like a kid in a sweet shop buying players. Some one at the club wants fucking for even letting us get close to FFP. We knew the rules and while I would be pretty pissed off if we get relegated because of it we will certainly deserve it. Did our owner think its doesn't apply to him.
We will be more than lucky to escape this, in fact its so well covered in the media I think its inevitable. Our accounting is suspect at best and I have read some articles that really hammer it home. Its gross incompetence at best for even being considered a penalty of points loss. Our owner has backed the club but is a cowboy owner which considering he isn't new to club ownership is shocking at best.
