Ok Taylor probably did give bad calls against them but surely clubs cannot pick and choose who they want in charge of their games? It's the same for everyone - probably all had good and bad calls made by all the refs in games. Yea they and the other big 6 won’t have any refs to officiate their games against lesser teams if this was the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also had the lowest capital investment among stable PL clubs, despite OT starting to rot. If it looks like a leech, crawls like a leech, and sucks like a leech ... it's a leech. Adding the link: What I never genuinely understand about the Glazer takeover was, surely, that ANYBODY could've taken over Man Utd with that same MO - ie get a loan and use the club itself as collateral Edit; begs the question; if anyone could do that, what was so unique about the Glazer family to allow them to acquire the loans?

I imagine if you or I walked in to Lloyds TSB and asked to loan us £1 billion to buy Man UTD, we might not get far. Somehow the Glazer tw@ts managed it.

Love it when stuff like this happens Forest fans spend all their time downplaying the fee and justifying the money spent, using the main angle that the add ons will never be paid (and playing whataboutery with other clubs signings) Wolves fans spend all their time "laughing" at Forest and say that they've been rinsed and mortally overpaid for said player Rest of the football world baffled that a newly promoted club can even commit "up to" £44 million on one player 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a gamble though. One that could go horribly wrong. Even if they stay up it could still be problematic down the track, if some of those signings don't work out and become 'deadwood'.... sound familiar Still, step one is stay up. Worry about what might happen if and when it happens. Edited 18 August 2022 by taupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
