Forest flying, I reckon they and Huddersfield are the form teams going into play offs. Mon the promotion and bonus £££ 

Think we get some add-ons if they go up, certainly have a sell-on clause which should hopefully be relatively sizeable regardless of if Forest go up or not

Aye we want both to maximise money. Forest to go up, Mckenna to do well he gets a move January/next summer.

Well what did we do with 5 million from Cosgrove & mckenna?

 

sign heaps of absolutely shite players, sack the management team and appoint 2 shite management teams since

This thing called coronavirus ate up some money at most clubs 

You must have heard about it ..

It all just seems a bit convenient. No one else needed to fill a 5 million loss. What would Aberdeen have done if we never had those players? Fold?

 

i dunno. Maybe other teams have just taken a hit with debt 

[Torry Tosser]

One of the English rags saying Leicester been monitoring his progress.

Personally He looks happy at Forest and will stay there I think,especially if they go up.

Celtic lost over 11 million in one year, did they not ?

hibs around 1.5 million in the first year of the pandemic

Hearts were bailed out by that Billionaire boy, we also had one of the largest squads we have had for a while all mid contract.

I see Neilson has been saying they'll rake in at least £3m just for being in the European groups next season. Money we should have been getting if we hadn't made a monumental mess of this season. That £3m plus healthy fees for Ferguson and Ramsay and maybe some bonus via McKenna, would have certainly helped. As others have said though, it's all about how you spend it. 

[The Gee Man]

But hearts over 2 seasons have needed donations of about £10 million to show a “Profit”. Yes getting to Europe will generate £3 million but they have had a massive player investment for this season not accounted for yet plus huge investment needed again to compete in spl and Europe. Reaching for the stars often just means you get burnt

Luton also flying just now.

Blackburn collapsed after they signed Hedges.

[aberdeen1970]

Alan Campbell looking the business for Luton as well.

I agree if they go up he'll probably be happy enough to stay at Forest . But will tell his agent to get back in touch with any previously interested clubs in January if they're obviously struggling to stay up

I think the best chance of him getting a move to a Southampton/Brentford lower end type team in the EPL is if Forest don’t go up.

He won’t move if they do go up.

The alleged 25% sell on fee would be much higher than any promotion clause (should there be one).

Ideally they go up this summer, he has a good year despite them being relegated then your lower league EPL pay up. Would mean we benefit from both clauses.

[aberdeen1970]

If Leicester come in for him his agent will be getting him to put in a transfer request, promotion or no promotion. 

That move would be a no brainer. 

Probably be able to stay in the same house as well.

A bird in the hand and all that. I hope Forest get beat in the play-off final and McKenna has a stormer. Forest won’t then need to sell, but he’ll be keen to move. 
A Villa/Leicester/Palace type move for £20m.

Yeah this is a good shout. Would get us a decent 4/5m windfall.

[fine-n-dandy]

Promotion bonus & him to perform well in a struggling Forrest side in EPL & get sold for big money in January to one of their rivals with better chance of avoiding the drop. Would be best case. Unless they perform well & get a silly offer for him. 
In all honesty I think I would rather McKenna in defence than Harry Maguire ? how much did they pay for him?

He has bossed the championship even against strikers with pace.

Forest have done well, certainly not bossed the league! Equal 2nd best defence but still 13 off top spot.

They had a horrific start to the season. Rock bottom in mid September but Steve Cooper has completely turned them around since he got appointed. McKenna seems to be the fans' choice for their POTY.

[Torry Tosser]

One thing about his game now is he reads what's going to happen quicker.

Mitrovic murdered him when Fulham  won 0-4 at Forest.

Who else barring him has bossed him?

I don't actually know, I only go by what my pal says who has a season ticket... well acquaintance that I used to work with.

No idea.

Mitrovic bossed the whole back line actually.

[TheRedPrawcess]

What's the situation with McKenna's current contract at Forrest? How long is left on it?

Signed a 4 year deal I think

I thought it might have been that but wasn't sure. 19/20 month into a 4 year deal if that's the case. Plenty time

That can happen in a one-off.

To put that into context, Declan Gallagher had Mitrovic in his back pocket when Scotland played in Serbia in that play-off game
