That’s the problem, nobody really is leading at the football club.

It looks like they are just making it up as they go along, with neither a clear plan nor strategy involved. The rapid turnover of executive roles, the muddled hierarchy, the confusion about who does what, no clear, single goal or roadmap for anything, it’s all a bit rubbish, to be honest. A „business“ with a turnover of £155m, or whatever it is now, should absolutely not be run in such a cack-handed manner.

And we all know where that will end up.
Yep, I totally agree, that is the problem.

Send you CV to EM
You obviously know how to run a club so put your money where your mouth is.

They would bin his CV on account of Strummer being over qualified for any position within the club.

Even Nuno is safe.

The turnover of execs is concerning. I spoke to Jamie King a month or so back and he was clearly fed up and exasperated at the club. It would explain attrition rate in these roles and consequently the lack of joined up thinking and constant lurching from one approach to another.

Sounds like the place I work. Annual revenue of well over £30bn but ran by a bunch of clowns. Lots of ambition but no attempt to fit that into any sense of reality.

Anyone can say they've got a goal to run the 100m in under 9 seconds but it means nothing if you've no plan on how to get there or if it's unrealistic, or both. Yet that's how the tools at my company run things, and feels like how Forest do it as well.

The Evertonians are loving it, 'club seriously pisses iff fanbase before a crucial game'. Whoever is leading at the club needs to have a reset, or just go.
Maybe those same Evertonians need reminding that it isn't so long ago that Bill Kenwright and the other Everton board members and executives were strongly advised by the police not to attend games because of the toxic atmosphere amongst the fans at Goodison Park, meaning their safety couldn't be guaranteed.

Absolutely so. Nevertheless, the Evertonians are laughing at us because of the toxicity created by the price hike, despite the fact that they are in a bit of a mess themselves (deliberate understatement). Both clubs are going into a huge game with bad vibes surrounding them.

Bad vibes?

It is an absolutely damning indictment of the state of both the Premier League and its lack of regulation - both self-monitoring and externally.

The competition, we all know, is skewed towards a handful of favoured clubs, but the ability of two members of a League with such rich financial rewards to get themselves into such a financial state that both have been docked points, tells you there are major, structural, problems with the so-called „Best League in the World“.

Except we aren’t really in that bad a financial “state” are we? Not compared to Everton. Or any other club that is servicing massive piles of debt.
Irrespective of their FFP situation, Everton are in a world of trouble financially. I was reading an article about their stadium loans etc the other day, what mess they are in, quite scary.

Hard to see them doing anything of note financially for a very long time.

Yeah there's an argument that the rules are working as intended if they have prevented Forest getting in the same mess that Everton are in. We'll probably never know, though relegating us via a points deduction is hardly going to help our finances. Either way, the rules certainly haven't stopped Everton getting in the shit.

They'll be fine, just write it off as COVID losses, I'm sure their creditors won't care.
