    just spent £12m on a player. And have an option on someone they’ve loaned who’s valued at £20m.

    Seems like they’ve learnt the lesson that Villa and Wednesday are currently dealing with.....

    Another club I hope don’t make it to the promised land and go bust.

    At least their owners wealth is generated in greece which is a notoriously stable economy.

    They may be trying to follow the example of Wolves which turned out o.k

    That’s exactly what they are doing. Clearly. But my point is if it doesn’t work out.

    Interesting that the “super” agent behind wolves represents these players.

    £12m on a player who played 15 times last year. Zero goals and 4 assists. Seems bizarre to me. He may be a world beater. But it’s still gambling. Hope it all goes tits up.

    I would’t want our club to do that.
    There is no need for the quick fix
    Hecky in the 2016/17 season and Chris Wilder in the 2017/18 season showed that with a bit of investment at the right time (January) promotion is possible.

    You surprise me YN with your comments, for a while now you have been banging on about how wealthy our owners are , I take it then that if they changed policy and decided to throw millions at it , you would be disappointed & would not want that to happen

    Different levels of gambles in my eyes. Forest spending 70% of their annual turnover on one transfer and a loan (not inclusive of wages or bonus payments) when they already make annual operating losses of £23m a year is a significantly larger risk to the long term future of the club that appointing a head coach on a 2 year contract.

    Obviously all irrelevant if Forest go up. Chansari and Xia had the same guaranteed success plan.
