Fear Of The Fox

That defending was proper National League quality. Exactly where they belong and will be in a couple of years.

Everybody happy tonight with the cam at 20 FOV? 😜

I like this cam angle. Looks more tactical to me, can see the runs and the off ball movement easier.

The charges are not only FFP related. All 3 teams I've mentioned have violated financial rules regarding payments to agents etc via off shore accounts. Chelsea's former owner has dodgy payments to certain accounts. I'm 100% sure there will be major points deductions and I wouldn't write off a direct relegation punishment for Man City and Chelsea. PL is under pressure especially now they've chosen to deal with the smaller fish first.

Their owner has bigger problems. I've posted several times the past months here that Forest are in HUGE trouble. I still believe they'll end up below League One. If they avoid any points deduction this season they're still properly screwed. I think we'll see monumental changes the next two years in PL. Man City, Wolves and Chelsea are next. We need to take advantage of the situation, get promoted, spend wisely with clever recruitment and try to build out our way back to the top.

Do you mean devolution? I can't see any evolution here unless you've been sarcastic.

It's simple: Born after 2000? It's a red. Born before 2000? It's a yellow. Born before 1980? It's a warning by the ref because it was his first tackle. Game is destroyed. Sport is becoming a joke. Sorry, it's already a joke.

Cheating against League One lads that played and fought cleanly for 75min. Fernandes is a disgrace to the sport.

If we win we're through to the next round.

I get your point but we've got to take into account the financial aspect also. Home replays are huge for all teams not only the ones in lower leagues. FA cup replays are also beneficial for local businesses especially in hospitality. There are reasons the FA Cup is respected globally for decades. Why ruin again with "modern" rules a valuable product/tradition? If 2-3 extra games are not a big issue why half of our fans were calling to drop our cup fixture by fielding a full 2nd-3d team? Imo this cup should be treated with full respect and all teams should field their best teams possible.

It would be unfair just for one serious reason. Example: Forest are forced now to a replay vs Blackpool. If there was a mutual agreement between these teams to sort the fixture on penalties on the day, it would be very unfair for Luton because they're both in a relegation battle and an extra game in the schedule means more pressure, more injuries chances etc.

The goal was created by Cannon. His movement was sublime not only during the goal but also before that. The lad is making some Vardy-esque moves in front and behind the defenders.

Yes I understand your point now. We don't have any access to these contracts I believe. From my point of view, as someone who's in the legal sector, the initial relegation clause is stronger. That said, when relegation comes first, because of the inevitable consequences on the company's finances (football club), the wages for next season are automatically adjusted or negotiated and ofc new terms are agreed to a possible next season promotion. Keep in mind all of the above is just speculation as I've never dealt with such contracts and football agents as a lawyer.

You're right. The problem is that certain european leagues want to maintain the status quo of "top leagues in the world" and the players/teams must keep a "celebrity/influencers" status so people with a lot of money keep spending, attending and getting involved. The whole structure allows lobbying like in politics until the bubble bursts. For a decade and more they were allowing the Russian oligarchs/elitists everywhere, now they're allowing the Saudis/Qataris until they become their enemies for some reason.

A bit confused here. What are you finding hard to believe? The contracts have clauses for promotion/relegation and bonuses achieving certain milestones (goals/assists/promotion etc). Wages will not reverse to pre relegation if our team gets promoted. I'm genuinely asking you because I didn't understand your post honestly.

They don't. There'll be some bonuses for promotion and that's it.

We got relegated because our board decided to not abuse the FFP system and we were stuck with a toxic manager (and maybe some players? ) who put himself above the team like a dictator. I've not been to Forest's forum and I won't do it because I want to keep my mental health HEALTHY. I don't care if these entitled fans are comparing their teams to Man City or Chelsea. Forest, Everton and Wolves should be in National League already. The same applies to Man City and Chelsea.

I'd take him at catering tbf. Fixed it for you.

They probably have experts monitoring the general interest and how many are watching the events from home. Logic suggests that a mid week final on 3rd January will attract more viewers. There's no football tonight (just a few games in spanish La Liga). Also people who rarely watch darts are going to watch the final because of the media buzz regarding Littler. I won't be surprised if the final breaks some viewing records of this sport.

The Palace job is also not an attractive one. It's the "happy we exist in PL" team. Idk if Cooper is rated high as a manager. If this is the case he can wait for some other jobs to become available in PL (Newcastle, ManUtd, Chelsea). A lot of stupid owners around to offer jobs.

New manager appointment confirmed at Birmingham: It's Cooper. Bradley Cooper. Assistant manager: Gigi Hadid Director of music in football: Taylor Swift Stadium DJ: Zach Galifianakis

It looks like Cooper doesn't have any confidence or ambition. Why take a job there? Is it just money? Unlikely, unless the wages are really really high which I doubt.

We're a hundred light years ahead in the League. Enzo is hungry as a manager, he's already dreaming of silverware. What is your definition of a weak side especiallly now with key players like Ndidi off?

Good evening. We've just seen your post and we would like to invite you for a free test. Kind regards, Specsavers

I can't stand Klopp. Does he think the opposition isn't allowed to commit fouls? Does he want the sport tailored to his own gestapo rules? He can go manage a curling team if he doesn't want the opposition to touch any of his primadonnas.
