Kieran, author of The Price of Football, analyses Forest’s financial health, including whether the club will need to sell key players like Morgan Gibbs-White, who’s been linked with Manchester City, to comply with the Premier League’s squad cost ratio rules, which cap spending at 85% of revenue from 2025/26. He also explores how much Forest might have to spend in the transfer market to build a squad capable of competing in both the Conference League and the Premier League, especially after their £48.9m net transfer spend this season and a £10.1m profit in 2023/24. Will owner Evangelos Marinakis continue to fund the club, or will player sales be necessary to balance the books?
