If it comes off they mean business.

I think it would be fair to say Forest are favourites for promotion.

We have the best starting 11 in the league, in my opinion, but they have a superior squad, manager, and a chairman backing them up with cash.

I reckon it'll be between us, Forest, Leicester, and maybe Reading for automatic.

Forest spent about £10 mil 2 or 3 seasons back and that didnt work either !

i wouldn't be surprised if this comes off, huw jenkins won't want another of his best players to leave for free like britton, and sure pratley has only got a year left on his contract, forest are going to be very strong this season and i think warnock will get qpr challenging for promotion this season.

i think dj will get us into the top 6 again, but he'll have to address the problems in the centre of midfield and centre backs if we are to have any chance of a top 2 finish.

Think a lot of us are writing off the relegated clubs (Pompey, Hull and Burnley), with their parachute payments too early!

Pompey haven't sold all their best players yet and if they pull this one off

they could be in with a shout as well!

Well if this story is to be believed

Pompey will be able to spend some of their money on loan payments for Kyle Walker and Danny Rose!

Agreed, but that was £10 million worth of additions to a shite squad. Although they won promotion they were terrible under Colin Calderwood. I highly rate Billy Davies
