Re: Forest
RasputinJayDeeThey managed the situation poorly and then cry foul when they decided not to sell a player before the deadline. If the value wasn't enough to stay within the rules then, given they had a whole year to plan properly to stay within the limits by not buying two whole new squads, they only have themselves to blame.
The press picking up on this sorry excuse is pathetic, especially that they debate it relentlessly but when us and others get whacked with worse penalties we apparently deserve it. Press trying their best to support the closed shop.
You'd maybe have a point of it weren't for the awkward fact that loads of blues were just as angry when the EFL tried to get us to sell Adams for whatever we could get for him rather than waiting until Southampton stumped up £15m at the end of the season.
We deserved our points deduction for breaching P&S rules. There's a difference between a breach of a business plan and a breach of P&S rules. Forest and Everton breached P&S rules plain and simple.
The main point I was trying to get across is the press siding with the Premier League clubs when they didn't with the Championship clubs that got punished for similar breaches of P&S rules.
