The season they got promoted, Forest lost Ł50m on a turnover of Ł30m. This season they've spent Ł200m in transfer fees, bringing in only Ł5m. That's before considering anything around around free transfer signing on fees for the likes of Jesse Lingard, salary and fees for loan signings such as Keylor Navas, or their increased wage bill which now covers so many players they can't register them all.

Yes I wanted then to stay up, I remember the great team that won the European Cup two years on the trot. Back in the day when there was hardly any foreigners in our teams, so it did feel like they were representing our country in Europe. Plus dispute being a complete nutter, Brian Clough was a tough man to dislike, a true character and what him and that Forest team achieved back then was incredible

Originally posted by PJEagle Playing Forest as our last game does yield another opportunity to persue interest in Cooper. I hope it's true and I hope it happens There has been the narrative about our Academy.Cooper has coached youth players who are now considered high quality. As U17 coach England reached the final of the UEFA European U17 final and under him they won the FIFA U17 World Cup. At Swansea, the club finished 6th in his first season (They finished 10th in the previous season under Graham Potter) and 4th in his second and last season.The following season they finished 15th. He joined Nottm Forest last season after 8 games with the club second from bottom and they finished 4th and got promoted to the PL via the play-offs. This season of course he has steered them clear of relegation.
