When have they ever clawed for glory? You hardly ever hear from them. I'd certainly like an explanation from them of how we go to this point.

And yet, there was also a thick portfolio of evidence that Cooper’s popularity with the fans troubled and, at times, irked the owner.

Where is the 4m over being reported ? Because if true 4 points is very harsh - Everton got 6 for 19.5m max we should have got is 2!!!

If it hadn‘t have been him, it would have been somebody else.

And maybe that somebody could work an Excel spreadsheet and not be such an impudent crybaby.
What a pathetic statement!

I can’t see that, but just thought the angst against the owner more generally is a bit over the top from you and others. I’ll wait until the report is produced to see just how much we screwed up, but my starting point is they are the best owners we have had in my 59 years of supporting Forest

Cool, see you all next year in the FFP 23/24 thread, classics include:

- if we couldn’t use Brennan’s sale last year, why are we still over this.

- double jeopardy.

- Everton only got 2 for their second punishment.

- we can’t be punished in the Championship for things we did in the Premier League.

- Nick “best in the world” De Marco

- why didn’t we just not buy Montiel, Tavares, Origi, etc

Oh well, another year at Forest. Football really is like a lottery of who your parents support, or where you live

As I said last night, I think this amount of points helps our case. Six or more was going to be too much of a task. No points would just continue the complacency and sleepwalking into the Championship under the arrogance that we should win games or our squad is this or that.

Four points gives us a sense of injustice and something to fight back against. Circle the wagons and such.

If we can’t better Luton and the other teams don’t there over the next couple months, we don’t deserve to be here.

Indeed. Although that doesn't stop certain posters from blindly having a pop at anyone and everyone connected with the club.
Not sure if you're talking about me Otis but to clarify I'm not trying to have a go at EM, but he has dropped the ball on this one and needs to learn from it

That's not wanting him out or claiming that overall he hasn't been a good owner for us, but if any good can come from this let's hope it's that he runs the club in a more circumspect manner going forward

Guess what - I also own a top division football club. Or part of one, anyway.

And I have one thing that perhaps Mr. Marinakis does not; or maybe I care more about it than he does - I understand financial governance.

Every Forest fan has, in all honesty, the right to be annoyed at this situation, which is entirely of the club‘s own making. The temporary custodian of the football club has allowed a situation to develop where the club knowingly broke financial sustainability rules.

That the rules are absolute nonsense, nobody can disagree with that. But, still, Forest still broke the rules. And some of that has to reflect on the owner.

We were told in January a date had been set to hear the Man Shitty charges but we couldn't be told since it appears to be a secret. And we're still no closer to knowing when that date is.

Beng transparent about a date that has already been set has nothing to do with the supposed complications around some of the charges. Journalists really need to start earning their corn and ask questions around this.

No mate, it definitely wasn't having a go at you and I apologise if it was implied that way. The poster I was referring to has form for sniping without considering facts or, more likely, ignoring them.
