    So, where's the debt?

    Because the club has never made a profit under his ownership.

    Timbertop clearly thinks that money TS has made through his other businesses isn't his 'personal money' but must belong to someone else.

    And it finally burnt him out and left. The problem with stewart is that we have had to over achieve right from the word go with evans, at each step, to enable money from player sales above the std existence money for the team.
    When we have made some money from the odd bumper sale, it has been swallowed up in part or been hugely wasted of late.
    What was spent under taylor was totally wasted.

    Not totally, tiehi, clucas, revan all all good players only tiehi cost money and when we sell him (assuming the club don’t let his contract run down) we have a good chance to make money on that deal. Nombe does look rough, can’t control a ball gets caught offside a lot, which shows his runs aren’t smart. He is young and in a very bad team, he might come good in L1 next season. As for the rest a complete waste, amazed at how bad Cafu is he was a good player and well liked at Forest.

    Nombe is 25, so not that young. Remember that interview after his debut when Taylor said he was as raw as a bag of spanners (or something)? Well, he hasn’t shown any sign of improvement since.

    I wasn’t including revan. Revan and clucas don’t count, didn’t pay a fee. Tihei, 400k? Still a waste of money as he isn’t worth it.
    Came here unfit, hasn’t improved in that and like many it has hindered performance. Did you see the match? He looked done in when he came off. Lack of energy and fitness made him trip over someone’s foot.

    We don’t want players who used to be good players (eg cafu, the defenders) so it is wrong to knock what people can’t be now, or we also don’t want anymore sick bays. Again, many used to be good players.

    The problem we have, in many ways is the past tense…..’used to be’. That’s why we are baffled by players like cafu. But, it is obvious.

    The past 18 months have been dire as regards recruitment. Hopefully, it will become a thing of the past. If it doesn’t, then we really will have problem as we need to get back on track. LR from that respect should have a more sustainable approach.

    I’d ask Exeter to take him back. I suspect bristol at some stage doing something similar. !

    Peanuts for our players either way.

    Nombe
    Hugill
    Eaves
    Green

    Tiehi is a class act, if you don't see it then so be it. He was injured when he came off as he was fouled before their 4th goal and the referee just let it go, it was a very poor tackle on him. It is harsh to say we wasted our money and then not consider Clucas as a decent signing when we got him on a free, that is a good example of recruitment. Everybody has their own opinions you have yours i have mine, i will leave it at that

    Timbertop I think TS has gone beyond his sell by date, but your comments above are wrong. He has put in £2.9m in the last 10 years plus there is an additional shareholder loan of £0.9m, so total funding of £3.8m Its all in the accounts see the link https://twitter.com/christoph_21/sta...O4lQ8z13w&s=19
