If there is another club similar to Chelsea during the last season, it’s Nottingham Forest. Former England and European champions came back to the Premier League after 23 long years of absence and wasted on time on strengthening their squad. No less than 30 players arrived throughout the 2022/23 season in order to prevent Forest from going back to Championship after only one season, but they spent a lot of money to do that. Even Chelsea didn’t manage as much, and the Blues still signed 16 players last season. But now, the time has come to pay the bills and the Foresters don’t have the money. Nottingham Forest owe millions in overdue payments to players and agents, with legal action being considered if they don’t settle the debts imminently.[@MikeKeegan_DM] pic.twitter.com/M6hf1HG1fh— Footy Accumulators (@FootyAccums) August 3, 2023 Daily Mail revealed today that the club owes millions in overdue payments to players and agents. Nobody from the club wanted to comment officially, but journalists are claiming that players who left the club this June were due to be paid for bonuses from last year, and the deadline was the end of July, but nothing happened. Various bonuses are in question, like, for example, the ones for Premier League survival. What is worse for Nottingham, they also owe player’s agents, who are the most sensitive people in the world when it comes to money, so lawsuits have already been mentioned if the payments don’t come soon.He couldn’t make a big impact at Old Trafford, but Forest believe in Elanga! It’s a done dealNottingham owner Evangelos Marinakis is a controversial Greek businessman who took over and made Forest a Premier League club again, and he is also the owner of Greece giants Olympiacos. But unlike Chelsea, who spent even more money and continues to throw money in this transfer window as well, Nottingham doesn’t have the revenue to support this kind of spending. The Blues, after all, had some good players to sell and got help from Saudi Arabia clubs, who agreed to pay them hefty wages. Also, Chelsea has a successful Academy, which is still producing players who have a sale potential, giving them enough cash to be close to FFP rules. But Forest is not anywhere near those transfers and money, and with this dept now, it will be interesting to see what Marinakis will do and whether will he find the money for these debts. Daily Mail also reports that payers who remained at the club are due to be paid their bonuses at the end of August. It is thought that those who have left will receive their fees at the same time. So far, Forrest bought only Antony Elanga from Manchester United (17.5 million) and free-agent right back Ola Aina from Torino.##NAJAVA_MECA_7406137##
