Any opportunity for money for players who are never going to cut it here, needs to be taken. Both Thomas and McAteer offer absolutely nothing to an already woeful squad.

We've had unbelievable offers coming in for our painfully average, not even young academy players. Seen countless players make moves to clubs you'd expect to be lower in the pecking order than us. And not a single deal looks likely. People use the term "don't know what you're doing" flippantly. But it seems our board have just failed upwards and genuinely have no idea how to run us. All overseen by a gutless child who shouldn't be left to run a corner shop.

So our squad in maxed out at 25, and we're 1 in, 1 out this window. If Facundo is recalled, since he's under 21 he doesn't need to be registered, correct? So his replacement, if there is 1, would also need to be under 21. Edit: I count 24, assuming all 4 keepers are registered, along with Ricardo.

I'd imagine RVN would be happy to sanction a recall, if he's promised a replacement. You'd hope we're working hard (I know) to get that replacement in, before giving the recall the green light.

Don't fret. We have Ayew, McAteer and BDCR to cover the wings. Plus, the attacking threat of our full backs is unparalleled.

He gave the CBs more than a 1 so I'm guessing he didn't watch the same game as everyone else.

I decided after the Fulham defeat to avoid the football completely between 3pm and 5pm, and we won the next match. I nearly watched it today, so I consider that a small win Somebody needs the sack, I don't care who, a company cannot perform this terribly without heads rolling. 4-0 against that absolute shower is unforgiveable.

This is what worries me most.

All well and good Brighton being persuaded to cash in. But I doubt the player himself will be keen to move to a side likely to be relegated, over sitting tight for 6 months and likely finding a team in a better position than us, and probably on better wages.

Filip Bundgaard (20) LW/ST - Brondby Niklas Odegard (20) CM/CAM/ST - Molde Jakub Romsaas (20) LW/CAM - Tromso Emil Breivik (24) CB/CDM - Molde And the obvious player from the Scandinavian leagues, Roony Bardghji, but he's destined for bigger things already.

I know people say this as a joke and a put down. But genuinely, he'll be decent in the championship next season.

Stolarcyk, Skipp, Winks, Coady, Ndidi, JJ, Vestergaard, Daka will probably stay. None have proven themselves good enough or ready to play top flight football yet but would help form a handy Championship side. I wouldn't lose sleep on any of them leaving though. Fatawu and El Khannouss I'd be disappointed to lose, I'd hope being young they'd give us a season in the Championship. Faes, Mavididi, Kristiansen, Mads, Soumare, Okoli we'll actively try to sell but their stock won't be high (Mads maybe, but his stats won't look good in an RvN side shipping goals for fun) Unlike 2 seasons ago, where we did actually have some players that were better than the Championship. This season, aside from 1 or 2, the players that think they're better than the club are probably the 1's who's exit will be celebrated the most.

Enlighten me as to why a group of players that have, now twice, been proven incapable of PL level football would think that a) they're better than us and b) somebody better would want to buy them?

Even if there was the threat of an embargo, there's the possibility of us getting our business done early (unlikely with us) There's a significant amount of time between the final game of the season and actually being relegated to the EFL. I'm pretty sure we can operate in the market as normal whilst still technically a PL club. As for players wanting to leave. Almost all of them have proven they aren't good enough for PL football, so if they think they're better than us and want to leave, let them. I want some new players to get behind anyway, fallen out of love with the majority of our squad.

Ruud being terrible does not make sacking Cooper the wrong decision. They just got his replacement SO wrong.

Does it matter?? They won't bring in the right manager next. The list of better options was as long as my arm when we sacked Cooper and RvN wasn't on it. I'm not even angry at him, a competent board just wouldn't have hired him.

I don't really find happiness in other people's pain, but if there's 1 thing that would slightly soften our impending relegation, it'd be United following us round the U-bend

There's just no way 2 of the 3 teams above us go down. You look at them in most games and think they're in with a chance if getting points. Just doesn't happen currently with us and Soton.

Stolarcyk Coulibaly Coady Nelson Justin Skipp El Khannouss Mavididi Alves Fatawu Probably Vardy That's a decent enough 11 with plenty of sellable assets left out. Plus I'd assume, should relegation be confirmed early, we could get a bit of business done before we're officially an EFL club even if there was a risk of an embargo. Personally I can't see what the EFL can do, that the PL couldn't. Especially not "record numbers" because their feelings got hurt. The punishment still has to fit the crime.

But every aspect of what you're saying is based on what other people would think if Forest won it. Would it take away from your personal opinion of our achievement? I'll make it clear, I'm not exactly cheering them on but I don't really care either way.

I don't find joy in other people's misery. And I don't find misery in other people's joy. I only care what we do.

Good luck to them I say. Will not change the way I feel/felt about our success. I'm not interested in comparisons about which is the better achievement, whether it dilutes other fans' opinion on our success or whatever else a Forest title would bring.

It's the most obvious "sign him now and loan him back to them" I've seen. Surely if his trajectory is only upwards we should be sanctioning this deal as swiftly as possible. Low fee with a hefty sell-on % The same thing we should have done with Mandela Keita, baffling.

Would love to see Dobey or Bunting win it this year. Littler's time will come. He was ticking along nicely against The Asp though, can't see past him.

I had Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink left over but I didn't think that sounded like a real footballer
