Financial sustainability rules
at 14:07 7 May 2024

The Premier League's profit and sustainability rules permit clubs to lose £105m over three seasons - or £35m per campaign - but Forest's maximum loss was limited to £61m as they spent two years of the assessment in the Championship.

The club's net transfer spend in the 2022-23 season was £142.8m. They lost an average of £3m across 2020 and 2021 with a further £40m loss in 2022 and £52m in 2023, amounting to a total of £95m.

Forest had been due to receive a six-point deduction - three points for the initial breach and a further three for the size of the breach - but their "early plea" and "cooperation" saw the ban reduced to four points.

So are losses across three years - if we get that far - will be limited to at least £61m though will it be lower as we were in League One for the first year?

It's certainly a way of making sure no upstart clubs upset the applecart.

With such a good record in both, what could possibly go wrong?

I don't like it. Football is a funny game, not always in a humurous sense.

The one thing is I know McKenna will keep everything professional. It's not over and he'll make sure the players treat it as any other game.

I may have a less stressful evening if I go to sleep and wake up around 10pm.

As others have said, I'm sure last year was nowhere near this bad.

The emotional over-reaction thread
at 23:13 27 Apr 2024

I'm starting this because I know I'm probably the most guilty party of this on the forum. I know some (most.. all) of what I post is OTT, especially if we don't win, is over the top and comes from a place of emotion rather than rational thought.

So I'm going to do post this thread so I can get it all out of my system and hopefully mean I'm rational on other threads. To those who are prone to emotional reaction, please feel free to use it as well. To those who are not, this thread may not be for you.

Football... bloody hell.

The ball just had to fall to them. Could have easily gone to Boro.

We were all saying it was ridiculous how relentless the top three were. The footballing gods have turned around and said, "Yes, it was a bit much..."

I don't care...

If Middlesbrough dominate us for 90 minutes and we score the winner through a freak deflection.
Or if we get a penalty dodgier than West Brom's in midweek.
Or if Hladky goes up and heads home in injury time to secure three points.

However we do it... JUST WIN.
