That legal challenge won’t even get to court.
It’s an attempted threat to get us to pay more. Levy will tell him to fuck and talk to our lawyers. Fat Gangster will look for a way out with the least embarrassment

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]
Supposed Forest itk.. seems realistic

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
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."
I guess our incoming transfer activity will be on hold until this is resolved one way or another.
Probably on 01 September

this is an old clip, not last few days.
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
2 please
65 mill to be paid in 10 installments over the next 10 years
That's what I call friendly
ive seen it before, its from the end of the season. not since weve triggered the release clause.
Levy has been dreaming of a transfer ban for years now
Maybe he finally made a play for it

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.

i don't understand this.
Didn't we bid 60m up front initially? so they will 'settle' for.......60m upfront? what?
