The answer is, ultimately they can't and it'll catch up to them at some point.

But hey, with Derby tightening their belts it'll be nice for some of our posters to still have a cash-spunking Midlands team to root for.

It probably won’t. FFP pretty much doesn’t exist. Only when the PR spin machine is working overtime in order to justify Evans spending nothing on players. Don’t get me wrong, forest spending this amount is ridiculous. But, other clubs without parachute payments, will also spend millions.

To be honest even Evans doesn’t use FFP as an excuse any more.

It’s dead in the water as far as I can see hence the number of clubs completely ignoring it!

Yeah maybe not, money in the Championship has now got over inflated because of the Premier league, so when there's talk of Maddison for 25m, Grealish for 40m I guess Forest reckon this guy is quality and are gambling that after a successfull year with him there they'll sell him on for 3 or 4 times what they're spending on him now... (or maybe he'll just be their new Andrea Silenzi - you'll have to be a certain age to remember him!)

£39m aggregate over 3 seasons does make it pointless now.

Spending like at Derby and latterly at Villa shows even those with parachute payments can spend a fortune and fail, with FFP now being the least of their problems.

Evans has simply not spent money he doesn’t have. Others do. Sometimes it works, more often it doesn’t

Forest have £15m of course from Assambolonga’s sale and are spending £10m of it on someone who played 8 games last season. Smacks of an ‘agent’ move to me

There's always the threat of actually being unable to pay bills like Villa. Spending big money isn't necessarily the way to ruin or success, you have to do it right. For all people laugh at Derby they have finished in the playoffs however many times in the last 5 years, and have given themselves a shout. They've clearly got the capital coming in to be able to afford it and it seems to be sustainable at least under that ownership and level of investment. Can't do it forever but it's a valid tactic to get out of the league.

TWTD CP. Evans Out.

Not sure it's a case of spending money he doesn't have, more a case of not spending beyond an amount he's prepared to. Which is totally his right as someone who has spent a lot of dough but I do find the scrimping on basics of the stadium a liberty, some of which is unacceptable. Do we have a stadium manager anymore?

Do we have a bar snacks manager anymore?

I tend to agree when it comes to the basics.

Any general manager of any kind worth his salt will have the basics in order; customer service, facilities...

Why is the club missing these fundamental blocks?

The venues within the club should be working on a daily basis - are they? If not, why not? There should be money made at every damn turn.

No business can have a building that size sitting there empty all week surely? Tell me it isn't and that it's a thriving each and every day with some corporate event or other.

Doesn’t faze me one bit, genuinely couldn’t think of anything worse that buying these people from abroad. Very few truely understand what the club truely means to the fans. Much rather find lower league English gems and develop them, aswell as develop through the academy.

Jorge Mendes is involved as he was at Wolves.

He’s Aitor Karanka’s agent.

They do sweat the asset relativity well. They have business events, weddings etc etc. They also see it as a bit of a community resource too, which means it’s not always about rinsing money out of people.

I fully agree with the suggestion of investing in the facilities and stadium, it seems we haven’t really done anything since our drop to championship football. The pitch is being reseeded again and some areas are looking a bit tatty. Would a million pound investment help draw back the crowds to put more than that back in to the club? Or is it all about spending money on players?

As suspected in my post above. A move more for the player than the club

They really don't sweat the asset - compare it to Colchester as an example.

Too much internal politics for that

It is odd when you think about it - most grounds are only used 28 (?) days of the year. Weird.
