Glen Johnson and Afellay.

 

[AndyWolves]

Jermaine pennant?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Afellay was in their squad around then and was probably involved for one of Barca's finals

Jese maybe

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Huth for Chelsea?

 

[Tony Towner]

Choupo Moting?

 

[Nando]

Sidwell and Huth possibly involved with Chelsea too.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Clattenburg resigns from Forest role.

Clattenburg resigns from Forest role.

A bizarre set up which I can't see where the benefit was for Forest.

I genuinely think they thought he could influence decisions for them because of his relationship with Webb

I think it's a cultural thing, the Greek clubs regularly claim agendas against them and absolutely rip into referees on social media, they love whipping it up amongst the fans.

Another one where Marinakis doesn't understand what he's doing and that Forest aren't Olympiacos.

Looks like the same sort of crap Shi would say.

 

[Jack Regan]

I got as far as "off-season" and stopped reading.

The headline reads like “don’t worry, we won’t sell”. Like he’s the savior and not the guy who almost single-handedly sent them down.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

777 now charged with fraud totalling $350m.

I can't see how they're actually going to get the takeover through.

To the uninitiated it looks a bit like 777 have based their strategy on pyramid schemes

 

[jd1981]

Disastrous for Everton, but seriously another stupid error from the Everton board even entertaining the fact 777 could takeover clearly no due diligence was done prior to getting into bed with them.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Possible going into Admin and another points deduction from next season ?

Can’t see how they don’t, and there’s no appeal on that one either plus they’ll need a fire sale Pickford, Branthwaite will be first to go.
Absolute mess for the PL Everton possibly on -9 and Leicester on -4 before a ball is kicked.

 

[Tredman]

It’s been totally obvious for ages that it’s nonsense. I’d feel sorry for Everton fans if they hadn’t been giving it the big one. A spell in league 1 will do them good.
