So JCS wasn’t at the game last night then if all this hasn’t been sorted.

Probably took one look at our shambolic defending and said nahh

That’s basically a video of me at work today.

I'm not even that enthused by the player, yet here we all are with baited breath.

 

[skybluereeve]

Doesn’t look like anything is going to happen before Saturday that’s for sure. Didn’t Robins say he has enough money only for two? That worry’s me as I think 3-4 are required. I feel a little more backing and it could be a really good season.

I think we all feel like that.

I think we all feel like that.

Just so frustrating. However we have 3 points just feel forest we’re poor and we obviously won’t get away with that against better teams

We weren’t anywhere near as good as we showed we can be last season, so still holding out hope we will improve. But more hope that we get exactly zero injuries because we have a first 11 and that’s about it.

True I suppose I should of added we will also improve. I hoping Robins has begged a bit and we might get the 3-4. Surly selling 20k at the CBS would help his cause. I think we could have a great season with that.

Will 20k be sustained across the season? And I think fans have conveniently forgotten how much revenue was lost last season through Covid.

Transfer market is very slow in general apart from the usual big name spenders.

Lots of teams can't bring in because they can't shift players out. Who knows there might be some last minute bargains?

 

[shmmeee]

Still think our only hope is someone comes in for Hamer or O’Hare and we get a bit of the money to replace. There’s clearly no more cash in the piggy bank.

Currently he can only afford 2 more loan players. If we can move some more players on then he can get some more. But most clubs are running a very tight ship this summer. Lots of players won’t have a football club this season.

Pretty much. Don’t have many that others have shown an interest in. Unless you can Football Manager it and take over Man City and do a triple £100m swoop for Jobello Hilßner and Mason.

The thing is you can only spend a percentage of the selling price, so unless you get ridiculous money and can spot/buy a bargain, you will be worse off player wise, in terms of quality. No point in it, and if we were to sell O'Hare at this point.........a march to Seppala Towers, or wherever she resides.

Why can you only spend a percentage of the selling price?

He obviously doesn’t want to join us, forget him

Because of the owners I guess

This was said about Sheaf a number of times last year...

Very little of any transfer fee would be given over to Robins for team building.

To be fair, you can’t say he isn’t aware of that!

I deff hope we can this season anyway. I get it might wear off next season. I think attendances will be pretty good his year. It’s if we can sustain that to next season. But very fair point about the Covid side of things. Fill the CBS this year may look better next season budget wise?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Unless it's L1 and below rules, I thought part of FFP included a rule that only a percentage of income generated from player sales could be reused/calculated towards your spending allowance?! Somebody will no doubt confirm/correct!

I think it’s 60% of income which includes gate money, tv money,

It feels to me like the budget is quite substantially lower than last year.

A Mowbray special - spent all summer chasing a centre back who played 8 games for Rotherham and got released. Didn’t get another pro club after that

 

[fernandopartridge]

How is hopeful to lose your best player or one of your other brightest prospects? Bizarre logic.

Pardon my ignorance who is this ?

A former Celtic player

Kelvin Wilson. In our relegation from league one season Mowbray spent the entire summer chasing this one player and didn’t go for anyone else. He’d just left a contract on 25k a week at Forest - was never going to drop down to what we were offering
