Well, it took a long and bumpy road to get somewhere, but this is what I wanted when I started this discussion. I'll contact someone who runs one of our podcasts and see if something can be done. Given the strength of animosity towards Forest, I think it's doubtful tbh, but we'll see.

Yes, I've accepted that as a Forest fan, I'm not approaching this discussion with clean hands. We're currently getting a lot of stick from Wolves fans, but if they breach FFP in the future (which is more likely to happen with the future changes to the rules) and approached us to seek some form...

Fantastic point... currently having a great discussion with some Ipswich fans, who have waited a long time to bounce back to the Premier League and if they do get promoted, they're looking at Forest and thinking, we better not give it too much of a go, but the alternative is to be a Sheffield...

Agreed, we spent frivolously. Cost of our squad on promotion was £12 million, I think the nearest squad cost at the time was Bournemouth at around £150 million, so spending had to be made. As for Marinakis, he certainly is prepared to invest, which I'd prefer over an owner who isn't.

I was just responding to a direct question from another fan, and as I've learnt the consensus is a firm 'NO'.

I do have a connection with the group that organise the banners at the City Ground, but I think the consensus from this forum is that they don't want anything to do with a joint protest and I've understood the reasons why, even though I think a joint message would be a good idea. Unless there's...

Ok understood, I was born in the nineties and I'm aware of the chants and understand some of the history, if the strength of feeling is that deep, I can understand why its still raw with Everton fans. Would be great if there could be some form of mutual working together to at least get a shared...

I fully agree with this, it will probably only change if more and more clubs receive deductions. It's been a steep learning curve for me this discussion. Apologies for re-opening old wounds and sorry for any offence caused.

Problem is with taking a snapshot from Twitter or forums isn't probably representative of the entire fan base. I've admitted that I've been incredibly naive and foolish and in some ways I regret my initial post. It doesn't change my opinion that the FFP rules are simply protecting the big 6...

I have been very naive and foolish, I expected it but not to this level - its been a steep learning curve

After the first few posts about scab, Tory scum, you called us cheats... it has moved on to some form of discussion about FFP to be fair. It took a while to get there, but I think I've held my own pretty well. Had to point out a few times that I'm one individual fan and never joined in with the...

To explain: I made the original post Majority of initial response was 'scab, scum, poverty chanter' I explained in one post that I'm used to abuse as have sometimes received racial abuse and point number 2 language is very mild compared to said racial abuse. Someone then asked me about the...

I only brought it up as I was replying to some of the responses I'd got to my original post, which was very mild mannered compared to the racial abuse. I go to away games and its the odd monkey gesture, a lot better in the Premier League, but was really bad at Millwall once and Bristol City was...

No and I've Googled it and I'm none the wiser

I think we were in a relegation fight regardless of the points deduction! I don't think any club who hasn't been impacted by FFP is going to approach Everton and Forest with open arms. I've accepted that there's a flaw to my argument and taken on board the strength of feeling from Everton fans...

I've had to wade through an awful lot of responses to get to some sensible response, so far I've had: Scab - I was born in the nineties Tory scum - I don't do politics You called us cheats - I didn't join in with those chants in December Stop chanting about Poverty - I have never chanted these...

Sorry, I meant I think most Forest fans think that the 4 points is a fair punishment, so they don't see the need to protest, because on balance, they don't see the point. Let's say Everton were deducted 4 points in November, would you have seen the same level of response from Everton fans...

You never really understand a situation until it happens to you. From my POV, I didn't join in with the cheat chants when we played you in December because I knew what was coming our way. I don't think any other football fans will truly understand the issues behind FFP, until it happens to there...

If you delve deeper in to the forums, I would say the majority of Forest fans think 4 points is pretty good as we were expecting at least 6. There's also lots of Forest fans that have been critical of our approach to transfers as well. The main issue that I personally think is unfair is that the...

There's already talk of banners, displays, booing of the PL anthem etc. However, there's also a balance to be had, because I think most Forest fans are happy with the 4 points and to some extent I think we've dodged a bullet. I could understand why there would be more of a strength of feeling...
