    I think it's a chairman whose staff have done something he doesn't now like (release clause) and who is now trying to save some face/express his anger. We've all known narcissists like this. Odious. He'll make it enormously uncomfortable and then it will happen. Didn't the bloke from Lyon, Aulas...

    The "Why" thread

    It solely depends on what you want from life.

    Morgan Gibbs-White

    We'll agree to disagree on this specific point; release clauses. If you put one in your contract and then an owner decides to essentially ignore it and bugger around with the player, I suspect plenty of agents would say 'no thanks if there are better options.' I am not naive enough to claim...

    I am specifically referring to the release clause. I cannot remember Levy ever inserting one of those. If you insert a release clause into a contract, then when it is triggered you have to pony up and move on. Marinakis is choosing the wrong way to show his anger at the clause and timing, he...

    I don't think I'm being fickle TBF, I'm just saying that there are going to be players who will be put off going to a club where players are treated like that IMO. If McAtee has choices, I'd suggest that Forest would not be top of them right now.

    Morgan Gibbs-White

    Marinakis is doing untold damage to future signing prospects. Imagine being James McAtee; Forest would be a great stepping stone for him, however if he sees this sort of rubbish going on the moment a bigger club want to buy him, then he'll likely pass on the opportunity to progress his career...

    Levy's Plan

    Ahhhhh philosophical thought...yes...and tomorrow will be different to today. The day after that will be different to tomorrow. Etc, etc... ...do you disagree that things currently seem to be moving with a greatly invigorated sense of purpose, energy and impetus?

    The "Why" thread

    I accept that I know less at my current age than I ever thought I would. That is because I thought I knew more about everything beforehand. How were things made/created, what happens when we die, how infinite is outer space, is thereother life out there, all questions I frankly don't have the...

    I think we're there, with a hefty assist from technology.

    Levy's Plan

    So you do agree with BoL? See, it wasn't that hard was it! ;)

    Levy's Plan

    I think 4-2-3-1 would be ideal. 3-5-2 is also on the cards in some situations. We'll be able to switch systems within games easily.

    Levy's Plan

    Providing MGW goes through, we will have spent more money by the end of July than I ever remember. It would be our biggest single-window spend before a significant sale. It would also represent the first time we would have genuine top level rotation in several key areas. If we further go on to...

    I can see this lumbering on into the middle of next week; feels to me like Forest want to make the player out to be the villain here, so it will likely take MGW saying 'not playing for you anymore' and then the dealer can say it was all on the player and not him or the club. But yes, we don't...

    Good luck to Forest, they can spend the 60m trying to fill the gaps in their squad to compete in the EL now they've been unfairly upgraded at the expense of Palace...

    Mohammed Kudus

    If I was played in multiple positions by multiple managers over a short period of time I'd probably find it hard to establush any rhythm myself. We missed a minute when we didn't sign him from Ajax (where he was great).

    Levy's Plan

    I think VDV, Vic, Maddison & Johnson were both essential and largely offset by the sale of Kane, so would consider that a different situation personally. Tel + Kudus + MGW would be approximately 30m + 55m + 60m = 145 million. Kulu and Bentancur were 8.3m 18 month load with ob to buy and 15.9...

    Levy's Plan

    The model of 'young' signings was reinvigorated post-Conte and when the Munn/Lange/Postecoglu trio were brought in. To view at as a strict 'policy' outside that time is not wholly accurate. It is fair to say that Levy (and is has been Levy) always likes to try and sign top young specifically...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I really, really like the way Frank has gone about things so far. No over-talking, what he has said has been excellent, and impressing everyone at the club with the way he's gone about things. I think the combination of him and Vinai coming in to the CEO role has really allowed us to move on and...

    Morgan Gibbs-White

    They will never be able to prove it. Never. He has the same agency as some of our players. It's silliness. We looked at him a year ago. Our interest is known. I think this is a PR stunt on Forest's part and also possibly a way to try and bleed a few extra quid out of it. The worst for Forest...

    Mohammed Kudus

    Agreed re: physical. That's baked in. I sat with a scout (ironically at Brentford) season before last who had clients at West Ham. He told me the overall evaluation of Kudus was he had the potential to become elite because physically he was pretty much 'the perfect specimen' and he had a keen...
