Our owners have made their name in tech booms. This business plan is clearly blitzscaling. Spend an enormous amount right away in the hope revenue rises and prioritise growth above all else. They have no frame of reference for investment failure and consequently have an enduring assumption that the market will always return a profit. They're looking for speed for growth and market share. Year after year the club will return a loss and the club will be stricken with financial punishments, yet all will be worth it in 10 years because they've forecasted an enormous return in profit with the growth the club has endured value wise. The only way it doesn't work is if the Premier League and UEFA continue to tighten their regulations.

Just a matter of time until his excuses come out. Once that happens, its already over.

I think an unconvincing performance against Bournemouth in 2 weeks time will give enough indication of how this season will pan out. If we are shit then no need to watch the rest of the season. Last season already did permanent damage on me.

So long as the club's valuation goes up (which it will with the number of assets at our disposal) then Boehly is satisfied. He will then sell at an enormous profit in 2032. Silverware is an afterthought for our owners.

Yeah its getting to that point where I won't bother watching. Much like last season when we saw that horrid Havertz/Gallagher/Sterling front three.

I'm just looking forward to the excuses. - We have injuries. - No Nkunku - Squad is too large - Poch just got here - Mudryk, Madueke, Palmer, and Sterling are shit (despite shit attacks in United score more than us) - Team is young Any excuse imaginable to try and justify this negative football and dropping points against poor opposition.

Absolute scenes if Chilwell starts LW against Bournemouth.

With Disasi as a target man.

If Luton had a bit more quality they'd of snagged something against us last week. Make no mistake. 4 points out of 12.

The midfield three should only be against top sides. Move Enzo deeper and bring on Palmer for Gallagher.

Was there any attack coming from the left? Like, at all? Change it the fuck up.

How long Doku been at City? He's already starting.

Because we had a manager playing him at wing back and implementing awful football. I see no drastic difference playing Sterling on the left than on the right when Sterling's best football came at the left. It's clear as day Poch is more focused on defensive structure vs attacking impetus. He's already caught the Chelsea manager bug. With everyone fit this Chilwell at LW experiment better be in the bin.

Confidence will be gone? He's a 29 year old footballer with loads of experience playing on both wings. Arguably his best football even came on the left.

Sterling's best football came on the left but its a moot point given he's in good form and can play on either side. Madueke has shown enough to start and i'll take a shit Mudryk over Chilwell who refuses to shoot against an open goal. Shit even Palmer is available. Baffling decision.

Nothing screams I don’t trust my squad then putting 5 defenders at home against a bottom half side

Does have a bit of selfishness on him which is what we need in front of goal. His first touch and technical ability makes him an asset in midfield also at wing.

I feel Ugo was always a target given his profile (Experienced tall and strong DM). A player you rotate or bring on to secure leads. Early days but Santos has every opportunity to break into that Forest midfield which is average to begin with. If he doesn't, its more questions on him and his work ethic.

Frustration in the stands

We are, but its a matter of when or if we will ever see it come to fruition. Massive gamble this.

Only 3 starts...

Inside LF with Chilwell operating the width as a LB. We have a lot of options and versatile players which can have the side play numerous formations and systems.

Palmer also very similar to Olise so I can see that too.

Yeah. Final squad looking to shape up. (Still question marks over Gallagher) Sanchez/Petrovic James/Gusto Silva/Disasi/Fofana Colwill/Badiashile Chilwell/Maatsen Caicedo/Ugochukwu Enzo/Lavia Madueke/Sterling Nkunku/Carney Palmer/Mudryk Jackson/Broja

I think the biggest question marks over Cherki were his attitude + work rate.
