In other news, Steve Wigleys left Fulham to be Pearce's #2 again

Justice. Thats what happens when you cheat and abuse FFP. Stick to the rules like most clubs.

[GSC]

I'm sorry Nick.

What is Brightons current debt

[NickisBHAFC]

We met with FFP regulations. Believe it was a 4 million loss which is allowed. 

Shame clubs like Forst don't play by the rules.

[Marky]

Apparently Forest after Barnet's former Crawley Town striker "Big" John Akinde.

Couldn't hit a barn door for us in League 2, dropped down to the conference and has scored 30+ for Barnet this season. Cult hero for his work rate but if his finishing has been sorted out he'll be a decent player.

Infamous for the "Big John Akinde, he shags who he wants" chant, which doesn't apply to Ched Evans or Marlon King.

[GSC]

And so ends another ****house of a season.

Scored the fewest goals outside of the relegation zone and were pretty good defensively. Probably inevitable when you consider Freedmans style, we have some decent defenders, and any attacker with the slightest idea of where the goal is missed at least half the season. Oliveira didn't play for like the last few months and finished as top scorer with 9. Matt Mills being 2nd top scorer largely sums it up.

Apparently its going to be Gus Poyet, and Lansbury wants to stay if we pay him again. Which inevitably means it'll be Steve Evans and Karl Henry

[GSC]

Poyets gone to Betis and the owner of Olympiacos is buying 80% of the club.

Should be a laugh. Bet they offer Pearson a lot of dollar.

[GSC]

Oscar Garcia the latest name

[GSC]

Obligatory Neil Warnock link.

[GSC]

Warnock wants the job, Zola has the inside track apparently

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Looks like its Giggsy's

[GSC]

Frak

[GSC]

Mind you he's not the first guy this week to be backed into evens or better

[GSC]

Sounds like the new owners now passed the FL test

[GSC]

Philippe Montanier named Head Coach.
Not a clue

[GSC]

Still, at least its not Giggs

[GSC]

Want to confirm a signing tomorrow, probably Vellios

[GSC]

Well that was fun. Lightweight in midfield though. Need to be more compact there.

if Traore gets fit, the wings will be profitable this year. The pace of Burke & Pereira down the right will give more LBs nightmares this year

[NickisBHAFC]

You lot are awful

Who the hell is that number 17 btw

[GSC]

Stay classy Nick.

Anyway, decent first half then we overstretched trying to chase the game and Brighton picked us off with ease. Much more polished than we were.

[NickisBHAFC]

I don't mean to be rude, but come on. Like i said in my pre season predictions i really can see Forest struggling this season, and based on what i saw last night, i think it could be a good bet. However time could tell and who knows i could look very silly in May!

[Dolphin Ziggler]

[NickisBHAFC]

Will be great at this level.

[GSC]

Lord Bendtner

That is all

[Guest]

I've always had a soft spot for Forest. This is gonna test it.

[Fernando]

Ah cmon it's not like their signing Demba Ba now is it?

[Guest]

No messing about!
