If this happens, surely we're not keeping Isak. Seeing him in a red top would be too painful.

That I could believe. He was exposed as getting secretly paid to shill the Club World Cup wasn't he?

Would we be disappointed if another bullet missed Trump by a whisker, but literally blew the smile off Infantino's face instead? This is a new fucking low for modern football this tournament, with much thanks to the Saudi's as well.

Don't think I'll be able to tolerate the next World Cup

Fucking hell Chelsea are grotesque. Was bad enough trying to compete with billions in loans written off, and then undermining PSR with their outrageous dealings. But now winning this could add tens-of-millions in extra annual sponsorship on top of the £100m they'll get tonight.

Wow, what a great interview. He's clearly been yearning to come here and join his mates!

Could really do with some re-assuring new stadium news right now

Uh oh, I'm not liking what I hearing

This would be absolutely hilarious Leaves them to focus on bending over for the big clubs instead.

Would be incredible if it weren't bollocks. Trafford does seem likely though, and that Italian fella seems a good bet if he can remain injury free. Would be pretty happy with that, but still nervous we're 2 players short to cope with next season.

God that Isak 'update' is depressing, even for me. Does feel like we need an exceptional season e.g. title contention for 2/3rds of season + another trophy, to hold on to him. But please for the love of god not to a cartel club.

Wind coming from the east, so Newcastle aircraft aren't approaching over the coast as usual

Tynemouth beach is packed with junior school kids on a day trip just fannying about with beach balls and sandcastles. Someone need to get the little slackers marking out a half mile welcome message for Elanga's jet

If there's no planned replacement, I'd rather we kept him tbh. Our fixture list is going to be brutal, and can't afford a repeat of 23/24 season.

Yep, all those clubs can outbid us, pay far bigger salaries and can afford a £50m+ failure. We're not they're equivalent, not even close. We should be comparing our activity to Villa, and maybe West Ham and Spurs IMO.

A few Forest fans were speculating this on their forum yesterday. If Elanga was super keen, you'd think it would have leaked by now? So maybe this dragging out is as much a tactic to negotiate a much better contract.

What? How?!

So basically no real punishment otherwise? Owners will just cough up.

These fines if true better not be deductible from PSR calculations. Anyone know?

Rejected in 3,2,1... Forest have no reason to sell, and Elanga isn't desperate to move.

They would have hit a sturdier and closer, central crash barrier right against the road. Instead they skidded over a small grassy slope and into a flimsier crash barrier. I'm no expert in crash mechanics of course, so could equally be spewing bollocks!

Fuck, just looking at the skid marks on the road. They probably could have survived if they lost control 20 metres sooner.

Yep. Only happening if we get our income near to or on par with the breakaway clubs. Right now, achieving that is essentially regulated against.

25/26 squad will be Osula as cover for Murphy, DCL as cover for Isak

Sense they're stringing is along like Palace did last summer. Not seeing any indication player is desperate for the move either? Forest don't need the cash, so can only see an obscene bid being accepted. Time to walk away and focus elsewhere.
