If we get him and then one of the Chelsea lot on loan (Gallagher, CHO or Pulisic) then I’m pretty content with that as a window. I think we’ll have £50m or so for January and would like to think we’d use that one one main player for the team.

Yeah it’s ridiculous how many there are. Having an “elected” board is the one of main problems. Likes it’s been said before, it’s a popularity contest and therefore there’s no way to ensure that people with the appropriate skills and knowledge to run such a high profile Trust are put in place. Being on the board because you attended Scunny away in 2009 or have 30k Twitter followers or whatever isn’t really appropriate when you’re handling hundreds of thousands of pounds of supporters money. I appreciate they’re all volunteers, and I’m not having a go at any one individual. However, as soon as they started taking supporters money in such vast quantity they needed to introduce a process where there is thorough independent scrutiny which was wholly transparent.

https://nufctrust.co.uk/about-us/ The lack of diversity on the board doesn’t really help with the impression that it’s a True Faith boys club. Hopefully that’s something Thomas can sort out because having a load of people who write for TF and do their podcasts isn’t representative of us as a fanbase. I think a lot of people would have a lot more time and patience with the Trust if it didn’t appear to be a closed shop. I appreciate anyone can run for the board etc but you can tell who will get in so there’s no real point in trying.

Millwall were 2-0 down after 12 mins at Swansea. Still 2-0 at 93 mins, then Swansea put two in their own net in 2 mins and ended 2-2.

I reckon Batshuayi will end up at Everton and CHO at Leicester. If that meant we got Gallagher or Pulisic on loan I’d be delighted with that.

I bought stuff off the site and they promised me a £15 voucher. Voucher didn’t show up. Emailed multiple times and each time they respond saying it’s coming soon. it’s been over a month now

£20m + Fernandez, Lewis, Ritchie and Wood would be canny.

Think of the boost it would give the squad and the fans if we did something like that. We’d be flying.

Think it’ll be a 0-1 or 0-2 like the liverpool home game last year. Respectable score but never really in the game.

Yeah - ‘joking’ about having sex with children is pretty grim like.

Think we’re concerned about FFP - hence looking more towards loans.

Bit of guesswork that based on Staveley being there and CHO being pulled from the reserves game.

Lovely goal that

Suspended v us I think?

Bruno just chilling in his Brazil merch. What a bloke.

He’ll look great in a Forest shirt.

To be fair I’m all for a supporters Trust, I think they should play a vital role in a direct line of communication between fans and the club and PL. The problem we have now is the Trust will always be tainted by the fact that Alex Hurst just re-appointed himself to the board when the takeover went through. It’s basically just an extension of True Faith now and this confirmed it. It’s a shame for people like Greg, Thomas and Heron who are genuinely top blokes and are in it for the right reasons.

You literally haven’t answered my question. I’m not sure if you’ve quoted the right post here or you’re just plain stupid.

Where did I defend the club ‘at all costs’?

Sky are saying the bid went in last week so before Dennis was sold. Not like this forum to jump to a dramatic conclusion though.

From what I’ve seen he tends to work his bollocks off and would fit our high pressing game to a tee. Relatively low risk as a £20m Brazilian striker in the PL is a pretty saleable asset in a couple of years. Not convinced he’s going to score many though but would be willing to give him a go.

CHO on loan with an option to buy next summer would be a decent deal.

Even I thought my own joke was grim there
