Forest FFP Threat - Nick De Marco appointed 20:21 - Jan 2 with 8596 viewsOldPedro

Forest have enlisted leading sports lawyer Nick De Marco as they attempt to avoid any Premier League charge for breaching financial regulations.

After signing 43 players since winning the Championship play-off final in May 2022, Forest are sailing close to the wind though sources insist they are confident of avoiding sanctions.

Was / is he a big friend of Paladini?

That's a key one for me.

I still maintain we could've fought the FFP charges and got away with far more palatable sanctions.

I know the rules have changed but, lets face it, nobody else is going to get the burning tyre round their necks that we got/accepted.

Hardly. I'd argue that Nick is one of the main reasons we didn't go to the wall at the time. We could have faced a Luton style descent. Our current situation is entirely down to poor internal management of the club at the time and in some areas, subsequently.

Never knowingly right.

Nick de Marco managed to get a £42m fine down to £17m. By scheduling payments over 10 years that effectively reduced it's impact even further. I'm not sure dragging it out any longer would have got us a better settlement.

Be a shame if anybody dragged up The Athletic deep dives on "why it was right for Forest to sign 37 players this transfer window THIS TIME".

I always thought we got away with slaughter.

How we never got a points deduction is beyond me.

A sliding scale of fines were the punishment when we rode roughshod over the FFP rules. They are pretty much off the table now and replaced by points deductions, although no punishment is completely off the table.

But there was a threat of a points deduction up until the very last day, wasn't there?

I can't say I recall that, but my memory isn't what is was.

I'm trying to find the resolution document I downloaded for this where it laid it all out.

Yeah properly did my nut in that we'd had the most amazing season in most fans' lifetimes, and it could all have been taken away at the very last.

I mean to save the announcement to the very last day of the season - madness.

Wonder if they have closed the loophole that I’m pretty sure NDM found regarding if you get promoted it’s impossible to get a points deduction as you are no longer governed by the EFL pretty good lawyer in my opinion !

Poll: Now it’s slightly clearer cut who do you want as manager ?
