Some clubs knowingly flout the rules and hope the gain outweighs the punishment.

Like Lyon, who, unless things have changed recently, had no punishment from the French FA for financial irregularities. Their demotion to Ligue 2 was confirmed in June, yet overruled on appeal in July. So Lyon spending money they didn’t have won them a place in the Europa League. Crime pays!

Bolassie is still going isn't he?🤣
“We played with Jefferson Lerma in the back today. He’s a midfield player. We have no centre-back available at the moment, and if Marc leaves, OK, maybe I will try my boots, because I was a centre-back. This could be an option. I will think about it.” Glasner is really annoyed he will go as he is NOT being listened to.

If Parish is going to sell Guehi, he has to have an experienced centre-back in place to step in before the deal is signed. It has to be someone Glasner gives the nod to. If this happens and Guehi is allowed to play next Thursday, then maybe, just maybe, we might avoid disaster, especially if other deals come to fruition. Glasner's history of leaving clubs because he doesn't feel supported in the transfer market points towards only one outcome. While I think he'll see out his contract, the worry is that he might feel his reputation could be damaged if he tries to be competitive this season with a very thin squad, and thus decides to quit. The next 10 days is going to be finger-biting.

PSR is not problem it is UEFA spending rules that are problem this is based on percentage of income spent. This is where demotion to conference, small ground , 12th Place are acting against us. Forest are going on assumption it will be a fine like villa and Chelsea after our recent experience we are not risking it.
Parish, has always up to now , come up with enough to keep us in the division.
So maybe it’s not yet time to write us off.
But surely something is dreadfully wrong to get into the situation we are in right now. Even if Eze, had not left, the squad needed building, it has never looked like it would happen, Why? The reasons for it to happen were obvious with our new fixture list, and manager calling for it.
Eze, has gone ,Geuhi,will if Parish gets his way. Parish, the club , the whole world have known , that if that happened ,they must be replaced. Without we are literally bare bones. Yet nothing, rarely any rumour, and when there is it’s loose ,with three or four other clubs in for a player grossly over priced. If this is all about lack of money that has to be a major worry .No more though than if without Freedman , the group have become a bunch of headless chickens.

The only way I see that happening is if Madrid offered £100m+. I'm also not even sure Wharton would feel ready to move abroad at this stage of his career. He seems happy with us, although I do think if he has another strong season he'll be off next summer.
The lack of planning is the issue. It’s not a new one either. Happens every season it seems. Always a different reason given but you have to conclude this is just Parish’s MO. I know a lot of people talk about how difficult it is to run a football club and I am sure it is. However, I know a few people who work in football including for EPL clubs and they say it is still incredibly amateur in lots of cases despite the money. Got to conclude that is what we are looking at here.
I know we might not have the money to just buy players but it seems like the Eze situation almost caught us by surprise. Same with Olise last year despite in both cases it being obvious they were likely to go. What is even more worrying is that even if Eze had stayed we needed back up and depth at CB but we’ve done nothing, not even a loan. I can’t believe that’s a plan. Just looks like poor planning to me.

We were linked with him last summer, but Tom Fellows seems like someone who would work in Glasner's system, being a fast, technical player who can play on both wings. Supposedly, a fee of £20 million might be enough. Everton sniffing around, so we might well show up too!

Crystal Palace ‘very close’ to signing midfielder - Deal fell through, now off to Inter Milan - Sport Witness
In July, L’Equipe reported Lens’ Andy Diouf was keen on a move to Crystal Palace and was dithering over a move to Burnley. The French newspaper reported the Ligue 1 club had reached an agreement with the Clarets for a permanent transfer, but the Eagles were Diouf’s clear preference. The...

TBF Patrick, it's not as if there has been anything really worth discussing up to this point anyway!

Parish looks like he has lost the plot, blathering on about if Guehi doesn't sign a new contract we'll have to look at things. Like everyone and their uncle hasn't known the situation for the past 12 monthsAnother one gets away.

Rowe has had a bust-up at Marseille and reported the club want him out
Brownhill had a great season at Burnley and is a free agent. Maybe only a short-term fix given his age but is experienced and could provide the goals from midfield we are shockingly short of - as exemplified again yesterday
No succession plan obvious for Eze and Guehi. I wonder if we have any for a new manager. Probably a dog-fight between Hodgson and Southgate

Also...there are rumours of Nuno falling out with that fu@ktard of an owner....if he goes I wonder who Forest will go after...😒
Surely nothing outweighs their fat owner?
