Your Thoughts On The Current Nottingham Forest Manager

[wassy04]

So the rumour from the ground. Hughton won’t walk and his contract is worth £2.5M plus back room team makes it over £3M. To bring in a new guy plus their staff total cost is probably £5M which we can’t afford.

Paying managers off doesn't count towards FFP and the like does it?

I’m 99% sure it does count towards P&S unfortunately.

To clarify this point about the costs of replacing manager and whether it counts towards P&S.
P&S is based on adjusted earnings before tax

Form EFL:
1.1.2  Adjusted Earnings Before Tax means Earnings Before Tax adjusted to exclude costs (or estimated costs as the case may be) in respect of the following:

(a)  depreciation and/or impairment of tangible fixed assets;

(b)  amortisation or impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets (but excluding amortisation and/or impairment of the costs of players’ registrations);

©  Women’s Football Expenditure;

(d)  Youth Development Expenditure;

(e)  Community Development Expenditure; and

(f)  in respect of Seasons 2019/20 and 2020/21 only, COVID-19 Costs.


So yes paying off managers, backroom teams and appointing a new one does count.
Warburton, Karanka , ONeill, Lamouchi, Hughton.
Plus all their backroom staff
We are paying for them all.

Don't buy a new striker for £2 or 3 mill and then as a consequence sack the manager & his team at a cost of £2 or 3 Mill. And the new manager then hasn't got a striker. Not easy, these decisions.

So I guess the question is will CH be able to keep us up with the help of a new striker in January and then replace him in the summer when his contract expires. Or get rid now and therefore we can no longer afford a striker. 

I get we've shown absolutely nothing to suggest CH can turn this around but I'm really unconvinced another manager will do loads better after perhaps a little bounce.

We've just not got a great team, not sure what people were expecting its broadly the same team as last year except we've lost Krov, Knockaert and Christie and replaced with Brennan, Zinck and one of our many right backs.
