Forest issued with winding-up petition

[Toggles]

This shows how crazy professional football is in England. There has never been more money in the game yet genuinely profitable clubs are as rare as hens' teeth.

When top players were on reasonable salaries it was OK to think that local businessmen might shoulder the losses for the sake of a seat on the board and a bit of reflected glory. But those days are gone.

We may "hate" Forest but how much duller will the game be if they vanish into administration courtesy of some ill-judged business decisions and a foolish faith in foreign money?

I'd be more than happy to see them vanish for a few years.

Play by the rules or don't play at all

But hang on it still don't make sense, surely if they sold the catering to an outside company just like we did with Delaware then shouldn't the said company pay forest...not the other way round, if my memory serves me correctly Delaware about A?6m for a 10year deal, how have forest ended up owing money?

Not that i'm bothered though but bring it on.

Talking about winding up orders, didn't our very own Sam Rush issue them one once when he was at Wasserman media, something along the lines of outstanding agents fees, it appears forest have history here with paying late.

And wasn't they're club credit card declined once and a player himself had to put on his own credit card?

Tut tut, the clubs a shambles!!!

There is other catering at the club.. Exec boxes etc. Not sure if that's done by the same company ..

agreed. a few years like pompey or cov would do quite nicely. I'm not saying banish them forever but a bit of suffering
