tidus_mi2 Not to go all Keegan, but I would love it if Bournemouth oxf*rd this up.


It would be hilarious if they fcuk it up then lose to Luton in the play-offs.

As it stands, Bournemouth v Forest next week will be one hell of a game. Plus Bournemouth still have Blackburn and Millwall, who could make the playoffs.

Didn’t realise Forest were so close to them if results stay the same

Got to say I can’t stand Forest and thought Cooper was a poor appointment. Been proven massively wrong. Fair play to him

Well I suppose that’s pretty funny in itself

Still a forest win at Bournemouth would still get them above them unless Swansea concede another

Might be enjoyable to watch Forest get back to the big time they think they're owed only to be smashed on the regs.

Bournemouth not going up and then being financially crippled would be fun.

Would they be crippled though? Haven't they made upward of 100m in transfers over the past 2 seasons and still have sellable assets if they are somehow still sailing close to the wind.

Longer it takes them to go up the worse off they become financially and in terms of their playing squad. Simple.

That plus Fulham's biannual premier league shit show combined with Bournemouth choking would be quite an enjoyable way for the season to end

They'd probably be fine in the short term if they sold the likes of Solanke, Lerma etc they'd still need to heavily reduce their wage budget lest they go the same way we did.

If they dont go up it will definitely be the beginning of the end for them. Better players will leave, they will have to buy, no guarantee's and will become also rans. Crowds dwindle and be approaching a Reading FC situation in a couple of years.

Watching Fulham blow multiple chances to confirm promotion then confirm the title is great. Suggests they have no backbone and doesn’t suggest they’ll be any more successful in the PL than they have been previously. Unless they spend huge sums on new players again.....

Why would they need him? They can do a lot better and already have better in similar positions.

Think Forest would be a more likely destination or any of the relegated Premier League sides. Don't think him playing in the Premier League next season is a given.

He's been heading to Leeds for about 4 years now, can't see it personally. Can definitely see him in a Norwich shirt.
