He is known to our family.
As others have said, his transfer fee was low to enable Forest to cover his wages, which are substantially more than £100k pw. |

I believe I started posting here late 1990s. Originally as Lingfield Blue, name change would have been mid noughties. |

You do realise that Norwich have had 10 seasons in the Prem and their best finish is third?
They have though lost track of the fact that despite our failure to win this season, we now have a far better team and squad than they can now afford as a non-parachute Champ team. |

Jason Dozzell, when he played for Langham Lions (?) prior to joining Town.
Can add in Ricky Gervais, Daniel Day Lewis, Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkins, Angus Deaton, Jimmy Melville and Rory McGrath, not the best footballer but have done well in their chosen careers. [Post edited 4 Oct 2024 21:40]

Reply | New Cobbold Stand then
at 17:19 30 Sep 2024
If you look at the plans for the new Swimming Pool development on the old cattle market site, you can see that the footprint of the new Cobbold stand comes right back across the road and into the Cattle Market. It should be sufficient to build behind and over the Cobbold stand, before dismantling existing structure. That should minimise the reduction in capacity while construction get underway.
IIRC Fulham are spending around £100m on their new stand, a similar sum to the Selhurst Park redevelopment costs. |

You are not barred, you simply have less chance of getting tickets which are in very high demand, than those who attended more away games than you in recent seasons. There is also a ballot for those who were unable to get tickets based on points.
Personally, I would increase the percentage available in the ballot. |

Show me you do not know what you are talking about without saying you do not know what you are talking about.
If this persona was amusing, it may be worth persevering.
Perhaps best to read the room. [Post edited 19 Jul 2024 19:44]

Reply | Transfer Fees Expenditure Question
at 18:47 9 Jul 2024
Wrong.
Net profit on Burgess would be banked at the point of sale.
The accounts treat all player sales the same. [Post edited 9 Jul 2024 18:49]

Reply | Transfer Fees Expenditure Question
at 18:47 9 Jul 2024
That is not right. TV money is circa £100m. Prize money starts at £3m for 20th and increases by around £3m per position. City got around £60m prize money.
You get circa 45% of the TV money in first season after relegation and 35% the following season. so around £180m guaranteed.
There are strict accounting rules regarding player purchases (cost spread across contract) and sales (net profit booked at the point of sale). |

Sold Gray. Summerville, Rutter and Gnoto likely to be sold this summer too. |

I understand that the offer remains on the table, and remains the largest offer made. I can see us making an improved best and final offer this week, with Town walking away if the offer is not accepted.
Not dead, yet. |

No offence taken, it is a fair comment.
I am a little surprised we are spending so much on players with limited/no PL experience, that said the players linked and signed to date look like significant upgrades, which is what we need.
Agree, another 9 (I suspect Delap can cover both 9 and RW), CM and one or more keepers are next priorities. |

Amortisation is not new, it is an accounting practice that pre-dates the Bobby Robson era.
It does not matter how deep our owners pockets are, we still need to remain within PSR rules.
Incidentally, our main co-owners are ORG (who invest money on behalf of Arizona pension fund) and Bright Path sports. We have no idea how much either have to invest, you cannot assume the APF are prepared to invest significantly more than they have already. |

Think I am running out of fingers....certainly seem to be spending more than I anticipated.
The point I made at the time was that not all of our signings would be in the £10-20m category, and we would also be spending sub £1-2m on sone. I suspect that Ben Johnson will not be our only low fee/free acquisition. [Post edited 7 Jul 2024 20:08]

Yep.
Folk are interpreting a joint bid too literally.
They would be two separate deals. |

It isn't.
All sales are recorded at the point of sale. In the case of players who have been purchased and for whom some of the transfer fee has not been fully amortised, then you recognise the net profit (sale amount - outstanding amortisation payments).
Incidentally, signing OH on 30 June does not mean we amortise £4m in the 23/24 acounts. The date of purchase is taken into account so we would amortise 1/365 of the £4m in 23/4, £4m in the next four seasons, and 364/365 of the £4m in year five. |

No. Not the sense I get. Most are realistic that this season will be one of transition.
They do have some tasty valuations for the players they will likely need to sell - £20m+ each for Rowe and Sara and £10-15m for Sargent. They may be disappointed.
The loss of £40m in parachute payments also seems to be largely ignored. [Post edited 1 Jul 2024 17:45]
