On the contrary, they can give us the proceeds of the financial settlement and we can go and finish fourth anyway.

A points deduction for Chelsea should also make it more difficult for City should they avoid having their 114 charges swept under the carpet.

Good point. They can show some consistency in their approach to sanctions and make life more difficult for City to cry claims of being victimised or harshly treated.
In that respect the PL should size opportunity of this tapping on this open goal.

I think you will find the FA doing a Roger Davies (for those with very long memories of always laughing at Derby even when they were good) when it comes to this particular tap in. Not a chance either of these 2 teams getting a points reduction

If not, then seriously what's the point in having them? Tens of millions spent for what?

If so, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Marinakis pile on with litigation

They actually predicted us to finish 17th from the bottom
Pretty accurate I think
I think maybe their Intern unfortunately had the table upside-down?

Had some time to do some predicting on https://www.worldfootball.net/table_calculator/eng-premier-league/ This is what I ended up with going into the last round of games:
If it's like that going into the last day, i'm not sure i'll be sober enough to get in the ground.

Well that would make Sky happy anyway, they would go mental shouting at everyone about this!!
I've not looked at their fixtures but that's got Man City winning their next 9 fixtures, and I think that is taking the Man City of yester-year rather than this season.

I've done a write up on my blog of our Champions League hopes, looking at our history in Europe, the season so far and predicting the run in. Give it a read if you have a spare 10 minutes.

Dare to dream - Will Nottingham Forest reach the Champions League? — Under the Floodlights
The Past To anybody growing up in a Nottingham Forest supporting family with relatives who are old enough to remember, you will be used to hearing about the great European nights at the City Ground. As the stories go, Forest were twice crowned as the kings of Europe in 1979 and 1980 under the stew

Now that we have more or less secured Champions League for next season, EM should probably start negotiations with UEFA in order to find out what it would take to fulfill the requirements of article 5, regarding multi-ownership (https://documents.uefa.com/r/Regula...cle-4-Admission-criteria-and-procedure-Online). The way I see it, the only tricky part for him might be that he would have to temporarily hand over his shares of one of the two clubs to a blind trust (for as long as both clubs compete in the same European competition). He won't like it, but I don't see how he can get away with not doing it.
The timeline is pretty strict: as soon as domestic competitions end, and European tickets are confirmed in may, UEFA's Club Financial Control Body opens a file on clubs owned by the same owner and expects the appropriate steps to have been taken by June 3 at the latest.

No legal entity can have “control or influence” over more than one club participating in a UEFA club competition, and European football’s governing body must be satisfied that the respective clubs are separate entities to maintain their tournaments’ integrity.
Forest want to be prepared for the eventuality and arrangements will require some tinkering, with Marinakis’ football stable including a trio of clubs. When Sokratis Kominakis — who secured a minority stake in Forest amid the Marinakis takeover in 2017 — stepped down from his position on the Forest board, it was the first step towards completing those alterations.

There are no concerns behind the scenes about Forest and Olympiacos complying with UEFA’s requirements. In July last year, UEFA ruled that multi-club pairs Manchester City and Girona, as well as Manchester United and Nice, could compete in the same European competitions this season. UEFA said that in both instances, the clubs “will not transfer players to each other, whether permanently or on loan, directly or indirectly, from July 2024 until September 2025, with the exception of pre-existing transfer agreements”.
Big man already making plans? Can’t imagine he’d let it slip by with no plan but who does he “favour”?

Nice blog and thanks for drawing it to our attention. You might want to make a couple of corrections though:I've done a write up on my blog of our Champions League hopes, looking at our history in Europe, the season so far and predicting the run in. Give it a read if you have a spare 10 minutes.

- We had already competed twice in the Fairs Cup (which later became the UEFA Cup) in the 1960s, so the two European Cup-winning campaigns weren’t our first games in Europe.
- The 2-1 defeat against Bayern was the first leg; the second leg was at home (lost 5-1 despite battering them for the first half-hour!).
- We finished 16th not 17th in our first season back in the Premier League.
I hope that doesn’t come over as too critical, though, as it’s a nice-looking piece that certainly summarises our current situation well, especially for any neutral readers.

Dude thanks for clearing that up

As I said when this interpretation made its way to the media, this makes no sense. Kominakis left the Board of Olympiacos 13 years ago. His stepping down from the Board of Forest has therefore nothing to do with the multi-ownership problem.
Ioannis Vrentrosz has left our board as he is still on Olympiacos board correct?
GreeksBearingGifts
Stuart Pearce
Yes, but Vrentzos left the Board of Forest some time ago, this is not a recent development.

Appreciate the feedback, thank you. I didn't live through any of the European campaigns so I was looking at second hand sources for a lot of the history and didn't pay close enough attention to the Munich one. Have made the amendments to it now
