Big game for them tonight. Does anyone think they know what their promotion would be worth to us?

I hope Forest turn them over, this mentally about little Bournemouth punching above its weight, bank rolled by Russian money.

I hope Forest beat them because I think the job done at Forest is nothing short of a miracle.

As for Bournemouth, I have a serious issue with them that comes from absolutely nowhere.

It does bore me that there’s this narrative that they’re a little club running on a shoe string…

25% of any profit Peterborough make.

Peterborough have confirmed there's a promotion clause in there too.  All depends on what the clause is, but whatever we get will go that little bit more to paying off Fenty.  

I expected Bournemouth to run riot after their January transfers but it hasn't quite worked out as expected.  Forest, on the other hand, just seem to have the bit between their teeth.  

Certainly setting up for an exciting finale anyway. The Championship rarely fails to deliver on the drama.

I would like to see Forest back in the Premier League but I think a Bournemouth promotion will have Fenty paid up.

Yep, I'm with you both on this. They're in there with the likes of Rotherham, Wigan, Bury, etc. Clubs that are an absolute circus and in the shit financially one season, then they avoid admin and suck up a points deduction for the next season season and then have the top budget in their division the season after that.

In every other situation (assuming I’d bring myself to care enough) I’d probably want Forest to win.

In this situation, given we directly benefit if Bournemouth win there is no decision to make - it’s a no brainer - Bournemouth to win all the way.

Of course, once we’ve pocketed the sell-on cash, I’d shed no tears if Bournemouth came straight back down.

It’s hard to look beyond this perspective for me. On the balance of probability, we are more likely than not to still be in this division next season and once again up against a series of gilded clubs prepared to speculate to chase the dream of League football.

No doubt I prefer Forest to Bournemouth as a club, but if a Bournemouth win equates to an additional £50k to £200k in our coffers next season, then that’s selfishly the outcome I favour.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.
