Why doesn't Fawaz cover the loses out of the millions he has? He's allowed to do so under FFP but not as a loan. Surely if Premier League football is the aim then you'd take the hit for a season or two with the hope of getting to the promised land?

Sorry I don't understand your point, your link says exactly what I wrote! If Nottingham Forest was in League 1 "Turnover figure includes donations from the owners to the club and injections of equity" and therefore the owner is free to put in as much as he wants. But in the Championship the clubs are allowed to make a loss of only 8M if the owner donates 5M and 3M as loan. Nottingham Forest losses are way above this limit and therefore the owner pu

That's not 100% true. I would concede we did exceed FFP for 2013/2014. However, the embargo is applied only if you cannot show that you are taking measures to comply. Revenue from transfers and cuts to wages of staff, will show you this. Had we not had the injury disaster last season, where we-

we would surely have been shipping players out a lot sooner.
We had to, our squad was huge on paper, but not on the pitch.
Lihaj, Wilson, Reid, Cohen, Blackstock, Hobbs, all high wages. I'd say a conservative 3 to 4 million there for little return.
