Notts Forest

No they are not.

Any club willing to pay Jesse ‘Mad Tingz’ Lingard £200k a week deserves nothing but pain.

That’s going come

For everyone one it is, for Notts Forest fans they have a weird aversion to it out of needless petty parochialism. We shall not indulge them. No way.

Goodness me

But none of the books will be abbreviated Zat.

Surprised you got past 'The Azul in a library'.

If they arent screwed by P/S next year then I just wont be able to fathom it. they have spend 140 million on players . i know that the transfer fees are spread over the duration of the contract but that they have bout about 29 players. that is 29 signing on bonuses , 29 agents fees and 29 premier league salaries. That is far worse than buying 4 35 million pound and paying 4 x 50000 a week wages. They must be paying most of those players about 20000 a week. they wage bill must easily surpass their turnover

Not sure why they care when Notts County is way down in non-league

20k a week is about 1m a year, 29 players is 29m a year. Even round it up to 40m a year. 1 year in PL is about 140m plus two years of guaranteed parachute money which is about another 80m. Add in two year Championship revenue and that is another 40m assuming they get relegated and do not come back up. So 220m revenue for 3 years and 40m/50m wages in year 1. Years 2 and 3 are unknown as they would no doubt be able to sell some players and have pay reductions in the contracts. It is not nice for them to have to lose players and reduce wages but I can't see how they are going to have FFP problems

Edit: that should be 260m, not 220m

Thanks mate, was getting worried for a second there.

 

[HowardsWay]

Was quite happy for them to be back in the Prem but their antics over the last few weeks has me hoping they'll go down.
This little turd for a start... pulls this off and now he's changed his story about the Wolves player allegedly spitting on him. We know it didn't happen but it seems Cooper thinks he can get an opponent suspended so the story changes.

because we have nowhere had nowhere near that as a net spend and we breach it every year

yeah, but your cost base completely dwarfs Forest's. For the last 20 odd years they have operated on revenue that probably averages 10 to 15m quid and recently, which is more important before their promotion their revenues were averaging less than 20m.
