Those aren't great numbers for Maddison either.

They scored nearly as many goals as us last season.
I'd expect a player who was predominantly a central attacking mid to have better numbers if he were an influential player.

All fun and games. Levy doesn't tend to lose these battles. The Forest owner is also someone who loves a scrap but I doubt Lange would have left any breadcrumbs if the approach was made before the trigger

And I like Madders but he has massive pitfalls which really explains why he is at a Spurs and not a CIty
His stats suggest he's more of a high press player than creator. Although his progression numbers are good.
Not sure what franks plans are but he seems like he could play with maddison.

It’s more that the exact number can’t be shared, as if a club bids that number, they have to accept. That would be the secret part.
But I seriously struggle with the idea we’ve done anything wrong here. Of course we aren’t going to have a multi window transfer ban because of this.
I actually think even if there’s suspicion that we bid the exact amount, it might have just been good work on the part of Lange / Levy whoever else. Like, you could assume MGW moving from Wolves to Forest meant he had a release clause inserted, otherwise it’s a strange lateral move. And then you could also take an educated guess at what that clause might be. It wouldn’t be 40m again as that would be dumb. 80m would be too high as no Forest player would be going for that and the player wouldn’t agree. 60m feels on the money - Forest make a profit, and the player gets his escape route to a better team as long as he’s proved himself.
The balance of probabilities definitely suggests this is toys out of pram from an emotionally volatile owner that has a track record of being exactly like this. I’m not worried.
Do you really believe that Levy would leave us open to that? It's just the Forest chairman throwing a strop.

Also thinking about it, the fact that Palace made the complaint on Chelsea, probably suggested that Palace really did have a case. They are not owners that generally cause a scene, they are a club you can deal with, they operate professionally, so them raising a complaint probably did suggest that Chelsea’s new and inexperienced owners probably went about things in a bit of a cack handed way.
In this instance, we have an owner that is known for throwing a strop, against a club that is known for doing things by the book. I’ll be stunned if this is anything.

Spoke with him yesterday apparently.Surely only a matter of time before Marinakis ditches NES after he let CL spot slip and replaces him with the national hero who knows how to get the job done…

I'm just irritated these little admin issues can foul things up. Wrong teamsheet submission etc. not so long ago and more.
If there's anything to show that the director's aren't involved in raising standards in the organization it's these like this. Hopefully recent change with Venkat and top level staff will help.

Well DL has moved (as endlessly requested) well away from this area of operations.....then this incompetence ensues.

It seems to me Forest can either suck it up and take the £60 million
Or
Take it to court, losing, being counter sued and having a player not playing till Jan/no 60 million to rebuild this summer

Isn't there fifa/uefa rules about clubs not honoring players contracts?

I suspect that CAA will sort this one out. They are a big agency and represent lots of players. I would imagine CAA will let Forest know that it isn't in their interests to play silly buggers with players and contracts if they'd like to sign CAA clients in future.
