    How has it gone so bad so quickly?

    Must admit I’ve really enjoyed their story and their football over the last six years or so.

    I’m a massive fan of Jamie Vardy’s game and his own story and for me, when he’s not in their side they lose a lot of what has made them.

    Hard to understand how they’ve dropped off so badly?

    Brighton have very much taken their place.

    Graham Potter was the manager I wanted three years ago.......oh well!

    Didn't realise that they were that much in debt. When talking to mates regarding their poor start nothing has been mentioned by anybody about that amount of debt. I think that they have got enough good players to get out of their present position though.

    Don't be silly mick, we'd never go for an up and coming younger manager with vision and a plan. No, we'd prefer to go for the same old, same old off the same old roundabout.

    This is all happening on whose watch?
    Never been more money in football and never been quite so many clubs selling everything to stay afloat.
    I guess if Barcelona can end up selling their ground, anybody can.

    The thing about Graham Potter at Brighton is that the club have given him good backing; had he come to The Hawthorns he wouldn’t have had any such backing and would not, therefore, have had the success that he has had at Brighton. Remember also, that until recently, Brighton had Dan Ashworth……..

    Superb point. Depressing but true.

    No club should be allowed to carry substantial debts as if this was another business they could have the book thrown at them for trading whilst insolvent.

    Disgraceful!

    The price to stay in the Premier League is now huge. Many clubs will be very worried about Forests spend. If they pull it off it becomes ‘the model’ and it forces others to spend.

    West Ham have spent £163m on transfers this summer. I bet that’s only £40-50m off their total revenue.

    We have a sensible model, but as a result at our very best we’re part of that yo-yo set of clubs like Norwich. Makes you think that Peace was right about us.
