This doesn't really stand up:
Fulham and Bournemouth were premier league veterans loaded up to the eyeballs with parachute cash.
We were an outlier who cheated to buck the trend.
This year Burnley were the worst of the modern era premier league clubs.
Sheff Utd and Luton (who competed gamely but were ultimately also crap) never stood a chance, because the league is bent.
The fact the club didn’t make anything of the Covid losses or promotion bonuses in its submission suggests to me that they knew they were trying it on. I don’t have the numbers to hand but the Covid write off seemed an improbably high percentage of our turnover.
Also the defence that we had next to no players when we got promoted is pretty weak when we’d spent so much money compiling such a bad squad.
And Sangare definitely made no difference to our points deduction. That was for the period that ended in June 23 - he didn’t sign until August.
That's definitely what I thought I was saying.
Quite possibly, my reading is nearly as bad as my understanding.
He will this year. That was my point.
Chicago: Thinking ahead.
Still not likely to make the difference - the amortisation of his transfer fee will be about £7m and his wages, say, £5m. Without a sale, the indications are that we are going to be much further over than £12m.
Ateef linked with the sheep, as well as Leeds, Sunderland and Huddersfield.
Probably around his level. He’s only 6 months younger than CHO, and over a year older than Anthony Elanga. If he hasn’t significantly troubled our first team by now, he’s probably not going to. Let it go.
Actually a higher level than I was expecting.
I was thinking someone in L2 or the conference.
His agent is doing his job then.
He might well also be mates with Tyrese Fornah (I assume Fornah is still there although I have no idea how successful or otherwise he's been).
Murillo has moved out of his flat on Wilford Lane. Of course this could mean that his fixed term was up anyway or that he's buying a palace somewhere local. But it might not.
According to Forest's socials he got married at the weekend, so presumably he's bought somewhere more befitting of his new life.
He lived there with her before getting married.
Married two days and she's already spending his money.
Not a good Catholic boy then. Cloughy wouldn't have put up with it.
