If I was buying the club (unfortunately I'm not a billionaire) I'd lease the wolf head to fosun on strict terms as an additional income for the club. Then I'd invest in the stadium, academy, fan experiences, corporate, all the things needed to try and make the club sustainable at a higher level. And most importantly have good commercial people for the commercial side of the business, and good football people for the football side of the business.
PSR will still be a problem for whoever owns the club, but if they invest where possible without breaking the rules it at least gives the club a chance of being competitive in the long term.
I wouldn't guarantee promotion next season. Championship is a tough league and if the recruitment isn't spot on in the summer it could be a real slog.

I think this window is the perfect storm of all worst cases. Not staying up or even within a realistic chance of doing so, so no one wants to come. Players been moved on are mainly the summer signings showing what a disaster the previous window was. January is a nightmare to sign anyone decent in at the best of times, but the club have nothing worth offering.
I wouldn't be surprised if no one comes in this window. It's a case of clear out anyone they can to get some cash in, write off the end of the season and then cobble something together for next season. I can see players coming in pre season, but not for big money.
Serious questions need answering about the failure to sign any premier league experience in the summer. Also why so few of our youth prospects make the first team or go out on loan and seem to come back regressing as players and not improving.

Very true. It's all well and good fighting until it's a mathematical impossibility - and they should. However Forest will pick up points. Realistically to get into 17th place as a minimum will take 35 points unless 2 of Forest, Bournemouth or another team fall off a cliff. That means needing 30 points in the second half of the season. At the half way stage 30 points leaves you just outside the top 4.
To turn around a team with 1 win in 20 to top 4 form in 18 games with a difficult January window really is the making of miracles.

Rosenior would be a good shout if he wanted the job, but also if he's given 18 months and not just to the end of the season. If / when we go down changing the head coach again seems a waste unless we go down without a fight.
At the moment we just may have to accept whoever it is due to a lack of pulling power (unless it turns out to be Shi in a tracksuit).

At this rate Jackett or Lambert will be coming back.

Unless Fosun reclaim their loans to the club, they will make a loss. The issue they also have is the club, in the Championship, will be worth about what they should have paid for it, the £30m investment.
It doesn't matter if a new owner is a billionaire or not. What matters is their interest in growing the club, and how much they want to stump up to make it happen.
This also depends on their ability to actually run the club.
Fosun are a rich group. They have failed in key areas. You need both the money and the competence to be able to make things better. New owners at any point, competence is not guaranteed.

Spurs fans seem to be complaining their owners are more interested in non-football-related matters. It sounds familiar, and makes you wonder what impact that genuinely has on results over a full season.

Deep, fair point, but I don't count Leicester as big six despite their PL and FA Cup wins. It seems slightly crazy they won more than Spurs, but Spurs had the Super League Invite. I count those teams as the supposed big 6, even though it clearly can't be fully on sporting merit.
For a while, Leicester looked like they had a club model to follow. Whether it was a house of cards or the tragic helicopter crash that led to their freefall, we'll never know.

Tottenham for me. For a simple reason. I made 2 predictions with them a few years ago that a big six team would have a bad season and get relegated, which is why they were so keen for the revenues from this super league. The other was Millwall would reach the Premier League within 10 years. Amazingly, they could happen at the same time.

It's a bit ridiculous and purely about money. If we want to see who deserves promotion, we could have a season-long 24-team play-off competition of 46 games, perhaps in a league format, and the teams who get the most points go up.
