Blondi Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I see Dougie is supposed to be interested in Mills even though he denied it a couple of weeks ago? I thought Forest are restricted to paying a player £10k a week in respect of their transfer embargo? It makes you wonder what kind of contract we've offered Mills, if any of the above is true?

Whatever offer we made seems to be off the table. I cannot understand why we offered him a contract and now circumstances have changed so radically that we can't now pay him what we offered only a few weeks back. All seems very unusual to me surely someone crunched the numbers before any offer was made or are we that tinpot that our chairman a qualified accountant crunched the wrong numbers.

HR Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I don't think we should be offering any player more than £10k per week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) I don't think we should be offering any player more than £10k per week. I said exactly the same to a mate of mine last week. Where that'll take us as a club I don't know but we have to match income to expenditure. Edited May 14, 2015 by Mounts Kipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondi Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 It just seems bizarre that we've apparently offered Bogdan 18k a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Bogdan was always going to leave anyway, I'm not fussed about Milks. I really want us to keep Pratters though. If we really are in bargain basement now, it'll be interesting to see who we end up getting. On the positive, remember we still have good young players like Clayton and Clough set to return. Will Lennon walk? - I doubt it, but a few people have been saying they aren't convinced by him anyway, and he's still not done a great deal here yet if truth be told. I would expect him to "tough it out" and show how good a manager he is (if he is in fact actually a good manager) It looks like we really do need this potential takeover to happen sooner rather than later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 We'll be fine. Tim Ream has been our player of the year for two years now and he's staying. Panic Over. We've also got Mark Davies who is the world's greatest midfielder on his day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrelli Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Whatever you think of Mills the worrying thing is that we are now losing players to our championship rivals. We cannot match Fulham or Forest and quite a few others on wages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Craig Davies up front we have 3/4 of the spine of the team there so we should piss that league next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOWTUN BAKED Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 We've also got Mark Davies who is the world's greatest midfielder on his day. Unfortunately he's chosen June 28th as this years day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birch-chorley Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I thought that he may keep Craig Davies after his pre injury performances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I thought that he may keep Craig Davies after his pre injury performances Unless the thoughts are that he can't remain injury free. For what it's worth, I would have thought we would have kept him, as I don't expect he'll be on a particularly big wage. Does anybody have the full list?

snowball Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 No problem with Mills going, glad in fact and let's face it he was on a ridiculously high contract so not too worried. But why did Lennon say he had been offered a new contract? That's what I find strange. Craig Davies, would have loved a fit Davies to stay but given our position we can't pay another player to stay most of the season on the bench. Lonergan has been unlucky but I would have him third behind Bogdan & Amos so hope we can do a deal for either of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walkden26 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I aimagine Mills was offered a contract, didn't like the £££ on it so we told him to do one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Blixa Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 As pointed out elsewhere, Mills hot offered a deal. Maybe Dougie doesn't fancy him after the end of season collapse? Especially on that money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
