Muzzy_no7 Posted 14 August 2022 Posted 14 August 2022 Forest spending big. Not only have they spent all of this years money but also took a loan out against next years prem payments/parachute and gambling it all.

I guess the wages issue is still one reason but I wonder if there’s another. The one thing for me is as long as we survive this season we can have a proper refresh next summer with so many out of contract. Get glover in and tell him we need players in the following positions, off you go. No excuses next summer not to be ready with our signings! 1

Oh for sure, and I too do wonder what is going on - it seems unlikely we cannot shift more of our crap deadwood, must assume we are either asking/waiting for higher prices, or something else is at play.

I see this as a good thing. From medical doctors to recruiting his influence is too much and we've eroded alot of things that made us great. Largely recruitment to be fair.
Tielemans63 Posted 14 August 2022 Posted 14 August 2022 I think Forest will struggle to get all of these new signings to gel. The mass recruitment drive is a gamble, hasn't worked for Fulham and QPR in the recent past. The other issue for Forest is that if these guys don't gel then that's a bloody big wage bill you're having to manage in the Championship
Foxxed Posted 14 August 2022 Posted 14 August 2022 Wasn’t there some who said their owner is a bit suspect? And now he’s throwing money around regardless of any squad difficulties they may have. Maybe we’ll get him on the cheap next season!

DezFox Posted 14 August 2022 Posted 14 August 2022 Regardless of what forest are doing it’s just annoying that it seems to be another getable target that has moved onwhy we just around wait around for youri to do what ever he wants and the big 6 just wait patiently for us to sell him on the cheap with no time to replace. There will be panic buys and and we can all see it but nothing at all can be done to prevent it. It’s a very sad state of affairs. The mismanagement from the board and Rodgers is literally undoing the years of good work.

They've started off with a much lower wage base coming from the Championship so can presumably splash the cash a bit now and still comply with FFP. Not like they're getting anywhere near Europe any time soon anyway 1
Ric Flair Posted 14 August 2022 Posted 14 August 2022 This will piss me off no end, I now don't know what riles me more, them signing Auoar or Brennan Johnson's hair.

The other issue for Forest is that if these guys don't gel then that's a bloody big wage bill you're having to manage in the Championship They have no choice in fairness, they lost half of their first team and half of their squad players before the start of the season, they needed to sign a minimum of 11 players before they go to make any upgrades to what they had left from the Championship. None of the players they had on loan joined permanently. Their problem was over reliance on the loan market, solved a short term problem but has caused massive instability when they unexpectedly got promoted… when Cooper took charge early last season they looked like potentially getting relegated.

Grebfromgrebland Posted 14 August 2022 Posted 14 August 2022 We desperately need some fresh faces. Most of our players are going off the boil and there's no competition for pretty much any of the first team. They're all guaranteed starters

Cincinnati Fox Posted 14 August 2022 Posted 14 August 2022 (edited) Forest getting him is good news. All the Lyon fans says he ain’t that good and it’s getting worse and that’s normally a good indicator. dodged a bullet. Forest throwing a lot of shit so some will stick but don’t think he will.

Lambert09 Posted 14 August 2022 Posted 14 August 2022 it’s annoying because he’s one of those players that you just know will do well. Our glory days are over and we are coming down with a bump. 1 1 2
