Morgan Gibbs-White has already agreed personal terms with #thfc and passed his medical. The deal is effectively done and the player is just waiting for the legalities between Spurs and Nottingham Forest to be resolved. [Team Talk]
 
MGW turning up for training is perfect. He’s being told to act in good nature and not cause anymore of an issue on top of what Forest are trying.

My only question is whether Forest can appeal to CAS if the PL reject their complaint?
 

As much as their owner is acting like a twat they do need this sorted out quickly so they know how much they have to spend and can move onto their targets.
The two options were always the ones available and will depend on how the clause is worded. Palace with Eze insisted on pretty much full 68m up front, forest could do the same. If we did the 60m up front then it's pretty much guaranteed we have had investment as we don't have the cash in bank to do that. If we chose to pay over longer term Forest will likely try and play hardball there given what's happened on it.
Hopefully all sorted in next few days so both clubs can move on
 
Marinakis caught with his pants down and throws his toys out of the pram. What an embarrassment of a being.

Confident this gets done eventually (PIF), but I imagine this is the last business we'll be doing with Forest for a long while.
 


Not being funny, but that is the face of a bloke that's like "fuck sake, thought I was signing for Spurs and now I'm in limbo and it's fucking embarassing"

The fact that he was like "I haven't heard anything" is basically code for, "I'm just waiting for this all to be sorted out so I can fuck off."
 
this is an old clip, not last few day

Is it? Then why are the fans talking to him about him staying at the reds?! and he replies "he has no idea what is happening?"

Surely if that was last summer he would just reply that he's happy and staying at Forest?

and judging by the clothes, it's definitely recorded in a british summertime when it's hot, like it was this weekned
 
I have to add some balance because clearly SOME of you fellas aren't interested in it & are just resulting in calling our owner fat & commiting libel (the usual tiresome response).

The club would not be complaining if it wasn't illegally triggered, we are not "dragging it out", we don't want to sell him & never had unless it was for stupid money. I know you like to think Levy is the worlds best businessman but we think highly of our owners ability to control deals ourselves, and he is much more popular here than Levy is at your place because of his desire to not allow people to shit on the club.

I think the reality of this situation is Levy has tried to pull a slick one & activate a clause without knowing the fine print of the contract. Levy should have contacted the club & done it by the book, it might work at other clubs where you can poach players but as pointed out above, our owner will act if he thinks he's getting shafted. There was no clause reported until a week ago, and within 5 minutes he had a medical booked.

Nobody knows the fine print in the contract, that is why any technical discussions are pointless. But Forest wouldn't be taking it to the courts out of pettiness. This situation is so rare because things are normally done professionally & by the book. In my personal opinion of how this plays out is Spurs will end up withdrawing their bid as the outcome of an illegal is not worth the bother for you. Sorry to dampen on your parade, but Levy has fucked this up. Not Forest.
