I did, and tried to get something in there about a French cream pie or creme brulee, but couldn't make it work. Will try harder (no pun intended) next time.

I agree .... kind of. But if we're going to 'copy the Brighton / Brentford' model as seems to be the desire, then we are going to have to pay those kinds of fees for players that we're confident are going to be worth £60m in 2 years time. Unfortunately I don't think anyone, including me, has faith that we have the scouting and analytics departments to make those calls even mostly correctly at the moment.

🚨🌳 Understand Nuno Espirito Santo's future at Nottingham Forest is still open after keeping #NFFC in Premier League.Portuguese manager will discuss with the club soon in order to decide next steps, but there's a chance he could leave Forest.
-
On balance I’d like him to stay, but I don’t feel that strongly about it. But if they’re going to do it, for fuck’s sake do it quickly; we really do not want a close season of will-they-won’t-they followed by a flurry of panic at the end.
Which we all know is the modern Forest way
-
This is the correct opinion.
-
It comes down to whether there is a better option that we can definitely appoint lined up. I'm not sure who that would be. But I don't think Moyes would work and I think Nuno has done enough in a hard situation, not of his own making, to deserve a chance.
I think overall he's done well and made some progress, and I'd like to see if he can make more. We score more goals than before he arrived, we do let more in to but overall the play is more adventurous and the abysmal away rabbit-in-headlights form has improved. The performances at home against Man City and Chelsea at home are what stand out for me though. Maybe that's odd because we lost both, but we played very good football and didn't look outclassed. Those showed progress as they were totally different performances to the kind we have seen against that type of opposition under Cooper (who fairly employed low block counter attack on pace as the only real trick we had - and it was effective go a degree but I don't we are going to develop as a club if that's all we can do).
He also solved the keeper crisis, and turned Chris Wood into a terrible signing into a key player by basically playing to his strengths.
-
That seems (deliberately) ambiguous as to which side the doubt lies.
-
As I said on another thread, it sounded a bit odd at the press conferences recently when he was asked about next season he just did not want to say anything at all. Even post match yesterday he avoided any detail. Maybe he feels his reputation is intact and he's got more to lose by staying than going.
-
Probably didn't get read.
That said the amount of hugging etc when players were subbed off yesterday looked a quite bit more than seemed necessary, even in this day and age.
-
CHO linked with Spurs. Now, if we could sell him and keep MGW and Murillo for another year, I'd take that.
-
Fixed that for you
-
Was chatting to a Spurs friend on Saturday night and he reckoned it was only them and Liverpool with real money to spend.
-
If that's even vaguely waving in the direction of being true, then what a damning indictment of the value of the 'ship. What is the point of it? If it's not for money, why the fuck are we destroying competition?
-
If it is true (major caveat), then it's a damning indictment of how overpaid premier league footballers are and how excessive premier league transfer fees are, more than anything else.
This is simply not sustainable:
-
It's partly due to the PSR rules not keeping up with inflation right?
-
They are changing soon anyway, but I believe the intent behind freezing the allowable losses at £35m is to taper clubs' overspending. They are supposed to be aiming to break even.
