    Are the likely to go pop in a year or two?

    they will either stay up.. get sponsorship and grow revenues to offset FFP or go down and have to sell all the players for peanuts and go pop. I can’t see the middle ground.

    Forest have so many players now, their scouts can't see the wood for trees.

    I can’t see it ending in a nice way. They did however play quite well against Spurs.

    I don’t think I have ever seen a club buy so many players at this level.

    If things start going wrong, which they will, and then you have all these new characters who barely know each other.. Can't see anything other than it all going tits up tbh

    But I do like that they are just going for it, favourites to go down anyway so **** it why not, I'm sure they have safeguarded against wages etc if they do down

    Really exciting league this year, nice that we are gonna play a big part

    I reckon we’re going to play a small part. 10% of it to be exact. <whistle>

    So all 20 teams each have a 10% influence? 20 x 10% = <confused>

    I'm with Nev, your school can't be good at maths. <laugh><laugh>

    I reckon about 4.9% influence by the time you take account of the other team and the ref.

    About 3% influence if you go by Hung's view of refs! <laugh>

    Im with DPP. You still play a part in 10% of games across the league.
