Do we have a replacement for RW or will the position be mothballed? Anybody know or care? Failure to replace would be a massive mistake in my opinion as RW is highly regarded in football circles, Forest's loss is Newcastles gain!

We have appealed last season’s melee against Chelsea away, the brawl involving Neco and Jacksons slap on Morato. We have had the fine reduced from £125k to £112k with the appeal partially upheld.

What is staggering is the 27 pages of legal waffle in the report of an incident that lasted about 10 seconds. How many legal staff were involved in this pointless exercise? I dread to think of the cost of it all. Going off on a semi political rant there is a huge backlog for most criminal cases lasting many years. Its no wonder if all the lawyers are employed doing bullshit like this.

"RW is highly regarded in football circles"

In what why is he highly regarded?
And by who?
What does he do to be highly regarded?

This is the same RW that was nearly got rid of when Cooper left?

Evening Salv, the backlog in the criminal courts is due to lack of judges and allowed sitting days. 

These will be commercial lawyers working at £300 per hour where billable hours are key, therefore the more work you generate the higher your fees. Let's say they've done 100 hours on this nonsense then it's 30k and club saved 113k. 

Bit of a merry go round of big cash. 

Criminal cases will barely make 5k as a comparison

Thanks. Thats fine about commercial lawyers.
As far as the club goes we have spent at least £30k (Im willing to bet more) and saved £13k therefore a net loss and a pointless excercise

It was concluded with regard to conduct on the pitch"There has been no evidence put forward to the commission to demonstrate that the club are addressing what is now becoming a serial problem."

By comparison Nick De Marco will have charged a brief fee without referencing hours worked and I dread to think what that was

Any word on if we're going to replace Ross Wilson?

Would imagine so, he delivered a key role

The situation behind the scenes at the club in the summer was really bad.

There were a lot of problems mostly of which have not been talked about and I won't talk about them either.

The behaviour of our previous coach before Ange was outrageous.

I am not going into any details but folks should think twice before they start singing his name especially in front of EM who despite the behaviour of a certain individual has kept quiet and took all the S**t from the press and journo's etc on the chin.

Yes EM f****d up appointing Ange but one man put him in that position off having to appoint a new manager, a man who wanted the sack, enginnered the sack and got the sack with his outrageous behaviour.

This is a man who didn't give a S**t about Nottingham Forest fans and a man who in my opinion should not be welcomed back to the City Ground ever.

EM and especially the fans deserved better.

Now I hope EM will put his mistake of appointing Ange right and we can get back to progressing the football club again.

COYR!

Agree but only to a certain extent.

Nuno behaved disgracefully in my opinion but what led him to do that? You don’t spite an employer you like and respect without significant provocation.

Does all that go back to the Leicester game the whole owner on the pitch fiasco?
Genuine question btw.
We shouldn’t be having problems behind the scenes after our best season in 30 odd years surely?
