Something very fishy is going on with Chelsea.

Valuation of N.Jackson is 80m +. A joke amount, but it being Chelsea they'll probably get it.
They bought Veiga for 14m and he played less than 10 times for them before being loaned out. Now talk Athletico will buy him for triple the amount.
They consistently sell their unwanted players for huge money.
Their (published) wages are not even that high any more, but still seem to attract player after player.

What's going on? Could they be paying backhanders to players/agents/clubs? Any other explanation?

Who knows, and yet, currently no sanctions,fines or points taken from them by any football authorities that I'm aware of.
So, either they are hiding stuff very cleverly or, they are not doing anything wrong.
Certainly their buying strategy is outrageous, and yet still they continue.

Firstly, half of those are not true. And the ones that are true, we were complaining about we got completely shafted over.

Maybe think independently & don't just believe everything you are fed.

I, nor do any Forest fans really care what people think about us when we feel our club is getting shafted. Maybe your owner should have the same passion for the club.

You don't care, yet you're on a Spurs forum to argue against what another fan thinks of you?

You're not really the sharpest knife in the drawer are you?

I think that people need to accept that it was probably us that fucked up and not their nutter owner.

Why? Because we're not out there airing our dirty laundry in public like they are?

We simply don't do that. The club predominantly conducts its business quietly.

If we'd fucked up, we'd be pulled up by the PL. For that to happen proof is required. If there was proof, don't you think Forest would have already made that public? They've spent a lot of time briefing the press about how "angry" they are, don't you think they'd have made that proof public knowledge by now?

Some reports have stated we booked him in for a medical without Forests permission (which I don't believe tbh).

The fact is, nobody really knows if he was actually booked in for a medical, if he had a medical, if Forest were happy with the offer initially, if their owner jumped in etc etc.

I do not believe we would be as silent as we are had we simply activated a release clause (including the exact terms of the release clause) and Forest agreeing to him coming down for a medical.

We haven't been silent though. I think it was Alli Gold who wrote that we believe we've done nothing wrong and that our bid was valid. After that, the club doesn't need to say anything else, regardless of what "fans" expect.

understand Romano over weekend said that Spurs arranged the medical without Forests knowledge.

I usually think of you as one of the best posters on here, with usually thoughtful posts.
I think your position here of Spurs sueing Forest which you have repeated on quite a few occasions is very ill-thought out however.
Under what basis do we have a contract with Forest that they have broken ?
And it is our issue if we have used known illegally gained information (release clause) for our commercial gain.

I still think this happens and always have, however will be for North of £60m

You don't have to have a contract with someone to sue them you know.
