This is a bit off the topic but still relevant and I wonder if one of you knows the answer?
The signing of Assombalonga and Antonio was funded by the sale of Lascelles and Darlow to Newcastle with both of those players loaned back to Forest for the season. Both of them of course went on to be sold for a major profit, you do wonder with the right circumstances and lack of injuries to Reid et al we could have been serious challengers with the squad we had that season.
So on the face of it Assombalonga and Antonio was a stonkingly good deal but who on earth set it up? Pearce denied all knowledge, claimed Lascelles and Darlow were sold behind his back, furious when interviewed on TV that night and seemingly knew nothing of the incomings, it wasnt him.
Was it Fawaz, a bloke who I dont credit with the intelligence to brush his own teeth? I think we know the answer to that. But someone somewhere at the club organised it so who? Do they still work with Forest? Why dont we work with them more if they can pull off deals like that?
