Thats a bit naive tbh Wassy. They are owned by a Greek and a lifelong Oly fan, one of their own. Said lifelong fan has in their eyes had his head turned, spending money on some foreign club whilst Oly is going backwards. But they may get our cast offs, probably send them Cafu back.
To be fair in their place we wouldn’t be happy about it at all.
I was just stating the fact, in the long run if we are successful it will definitely benefit Oly. It's not like they're competing with the top English clubs. Having a string of Forest academy players taking them far in the Europa League sounds like a pretty good long term model.
That said the last player we gave them was Carvalho so I can see how right now it doesn't look great!
I believe they will come to appreciate the situation in the long but I understand they're frustration in the short term. Maybe we should throw them some players to keep them sweet. If we get a striker could send them Surridge and Mighten.
