I agree with Hoons

All confirmed on the lunchtime news.So it must be true.

Now the rumour is Messi's agent was seen talking to your chief exec,sorry Tea lady.

She is good at negotiations.

I hope the offer of Rich Tea biscuits and a cup of tea every morning may persuade Messi to join one of the greatest teams in the country which has now been backed as one of the highest paid sponsorship teams as well

I wonder how many sheep will become active reds come a few years time?

I don't think many Forest fans are taking it at face value Watnall, so wind it in

Bless the tea lady, the mainstay of Nottingham Forest FC. It was actually her, not Cloughie, that used to give the team talks back in the day.

New Chief Exec is called Teal Ady?

It does seem ridikqloss. I think Bayern Munich and man city get nearly £400 m from their sponsors.

Dave your going to make Stret's have a heart attack with your spelling of Ridiculous!

Probubbly.

Thinking about this £500m deal though. Fawaz has been transparent about marketing the club in his home land. There is no top level sport in Kuwait but they are football crazy. If fawaz wants us to be a representative of Kuwait at the highest level of the game, then there has to be significant investment. There are 200m Kuwaitis he's thinking of, as well as 30,000 forest fans.

Make that 2m Kuwaitis.

The figure is way too high. But just hypothetically speaking in some pig flying way lets say it could be a structured deal worth a certain amount in the Championship, more in the EPL and again different figures for Europe.

I know the top end of that is as likely as getting a substantial win on the lottery but we know Fawaz likes to set his targets up there. That would some more sensible to a degree but still, amount too high...

I did think that was another thing about Derby's that was odd. Not only was it some start up brand that agreed to sponsor them for ten years, but no consideration that the value of the marketing would increase multiple times on promotion. But according to flag pr@tt in reference to what is going on with us; it was really well researched

"Make that 2m Kuwaitis."
Only £250 each

"30,000 forest fans"

£50m a year is the bargin of a lifetime for the naming rights to our famous city ground. It's a deal, it's a steal, it's the sale of the century

The richest football club in the whole wide world, Rail Madrid, are doing a deal for naming rights for the world famous Bernabeu, for 500m EUROS for TWENTY years, just to give you some context of how excruciatingly embarrassing this 'rumour' of yours was.

The rumour came from a BBC reporter so wasn't specifically ours but thanks for taking the effort to dig out a thread from July

No problemo; it was either that or start a whole new thread about a subject already covered simply because I have a new comment to contribute.

Or 'Doing a Rev' as it's known in 606 parlance.

isn't doing a REV an almost daily repeat of a topic
