it’s a strange area they’ve built it in, with very little around there.
Everton may fail last year's accounts again as well....
Yeah but what's likely to do Forest is the new wages-to-turnover ratio which I'm not sure Johnson's sale will help much with especially in consideration of last season's astronomical wage bill.
That be madness on their part
It won't be their fault though....
Forest selling Johnson pretty much cancelled out their spending on Gibbs-White. They’ve
Not really though. Johnson was a youth product, so selling him for £45m is pure profit for that financial year (although I think it will be 23/24). Morgan was signed on a 5 year contract, so costing about £8m a year (depending on add ons). So for this year +£37m.
Apparently they want to include the sale in lasts years figures on the basis they could have sold him earlier but holding on to him added significantly to his value! I'm not sure that's going to fly.
Villa ain’t far off… not close but they can’t spend much until the summer
Chelsea might ending up having to sell Gallagher and Chalobah to stay on the right side of FFP. As academy products their sale would go someway to alleviating their situation.
I was doing 90 in a 70 but when I got to the 40 I slowed right down to 10 officer.
Thank you, much appreciated
The defence that Everton and Forest have put up are laughable . Everton - we didn’t get any advantage. Now Forest are saying the equivalent of I broke the rules last year but haven’t done so yet this year so can we ignore last year.
Based on three years of financials, and Brennan Johnson's sale will cover a good chunk of that as a homegrown sale. Worst case scenario for them they'd probably have to sell MGW for a pretty penny in the summer.
Point being Johnson was sold outside of the FFP accounting period in question
The Johnson sale doesn't come into last season figures...
They are only allowed a 61m loss due to 2 years in the championship
2nd of Jan and we've already had post of the year!
every time i go back home im astounded by what the city has become, but agree they’ve not been sympathetic!!
Forest are done for. Same as Everton are…
Good point, hadn’t thought of that. Lovely stuff.
I don't think that's the plan. Accounts are in, charges imminent, time to compile an appeal (although sounds like they're on it already) points deduction applied this season in April if found guilty. They wanted to do Everton last season, but they just weren't set up well enough I think. It's already one season behind, so it really should be done this season. It's just too close to the end for my liking. Although the actual size of the deduction seems to be established now at least.
I first visited Liverpool for work in 2002 and that whole Albert Dock area was an oasis in what was basically a ****hole. What it has become is staggering, from derelict to actually really impressive. However where Everton are building is a ****hole, it’s the old dock road that looks like the land that time forgot in about 1950.
