i hear what you're saying we all want a (man city,chelsea) owner to spend silly money but to act humble will be very hard to do especially in front of derby fans but i don't think i could go down the road festa and county fans as walking the league i like you am on the other end of 40 but can we not have some fun with the sheep

on a serious note what about the FFP with these sugar daddys if we do get a mega rich bloke how will they be allowed to spend silly money with the new rules how those it work?

I agree - I can remember leicester pity fans waving their club's money around before last season, telling anyone who was prepared to listen how they were going to walk the division yet they continue to be as mediocre as ever.

With regard to the Forest takeover, I'm still taking nothing for granted. I'll believe it when I see it.

Good grief...Forest fans are unable to act humbly when they face an extinction caused by themselves...never mind if you find a rich owner...

FFP is a ridiculous notion that amounts to nothing more than a gentlemen's agreement. It can't work simply because mega-rich owners can afford better accountants than the football league. It's easy enough to get around through sponsorship deals.

You had a Mega-Rich owner and look what you did to him. Imagine how humble you will be to a Mega-rich owner who isn't a Forest fan.

I can't wait for the hipocracy.

Good point Iwas, because the history of Forest began 10 years ago when ND took over. We've not quite plumbed the depths of some of your past owners but have had ones who've been jailed for fraud, Irving Scholar and more....

Now the hypocrisy I notice is a Derby fan laughing at other clubs for moaning about their owners!

Pretty crass comment really.

Verbally abused him and sent him rude emails that made him feel unwelcome at the club he loved.

Pretty obvious, didn't think you needed it spelling out.
