NFFC Financial Talk

[Widdow]

I agree with Ozzy, EM should now show his true intent with regard to Forest, supply the funds required to enable Sabri to buy the quality players he needs and to come out and give firm details of a start date for the development.

Because FFP limits will prevent him from spending that kind of money on transfers and why should we expect EM to spend £100 million from his own pocket to rebuild the main stand. Unlike Nigel Forest was not his boyhood club. The club is a business opportunity. Having a lifelong supporter own the club did not really work out. The less said about his successor the better. I will be pleased if EM runs the club professionally. That is the most we can ask. Finance for the stand and club needs to be found in a sustainable way and not on the whim of a benefactor.

This year the FFP rules will be relaxed due to the losses of Covid. If they can invest wisely and also get the high calibre players to really go for it. 

The owner keeps saying minimum position at end of season is play offs yet not done that yet. Now is the year to push on not sell prized assets at a time when values have reduced. 

Spend big now, keep best players and hey if we don’t go up we can sell next year, if we do go up, then FFP won’t be an issue 

All depends on the ambition of the owners and their willing to invest on the pitch. As success on the pitch improves everything about a football club and city.
