You'd have a better shot at making more money by playing the lottery.

He may be worth 1.4 billion, but NFFC PLC are not, he's a businessman at the end of the day, and he wants to make more money, if he was willing to spend all his fortune, why are you not purchasing top quality? An unknown dutchman, out of contract striker, U19 released by Barcelona academy and a defender who's lost his way in the game, oh and another young defender. I see a complete shift in purchasing here, for the better I may add. But dont kid yourself he's in your club to make you world beaters, he's in it for one thing to make himself wealthier.

What absolute utter tripe!!
Please immediately chop all your fingers off so you can't type any more cr@p like this

if he wants to make money he should'nt have bought a football club he should've bought a pub becauce you'd have more chance of making money than buying a football club sod the FFP

Happy days is right to a degree. Fawaz is not throwing cash at the club, we are not in the running for the top players in this league. He is clearly wanting to get us up on some kind of budget (all be it a pretty decent budget). Though clearly he is not in it to make money as he has spunked a fortune already!

I am not being critical, he has spent a lot of his own money. He is building a great foundation for the future hopefully. Let's just hope the manager gets long enough to start benefiting from it.

Reds - I think it's more that he's learnt that just spun king money doesn't work.

Yeah I agree SHH but what I mean is he has never been in the market for players like Rhodes, McCormack and Austin, those type of players because I don't think he is prepare to spend that amount if money. And fair enough. I don't think it would be spunking money if it was the right player. Of we bought Rhodes for £10m he would Score goals and I prove our team. Howeer Fawaz clearly doesn't want to pay those kinds of prices.

So I think he is on a budget of some sorts and is not just throwing his money around.

It's not the transfer fee's, it's the wages that are the sticking point.

Supposedly we were in the market for Charlie Austin last year before he moved to qpr. Would he have been a good buy for Forest? Well in retrospect he wouldn't just another player on the injury list.

We offered 5.5 mill for Austin. That's no small fee in the championship. I'm glad we're not spending 11mill on Mcormack, that's for sure.

I think he is willing to spend big money on a single player but clearly wasn't going to compete wages wise with QPR. I'm very glad we've signed Fryatt on a free than a huge fee for Mcormick. I wouldn't be against us breaking the bank to get armholes though because he is proven over 3/4 seasons in this league and still relatively young.

We have still paid out two basic fees that add up to £1.5m so far this close season, and I believe they both have add on clauses on top of that. It also has been reported that we bid £1.75m for Adomah, and free signings are barely ever free anyway (sign on fees, agents etc).

This is not chicken feed by any stretch of the imagination and it goes on top of Fawaz's spending over the last two years (including month to month loses)
