interesting you mentioned Forest ...

this will not go down well with everybody but ,if/when we get promoted again we should do what Forest did ,which basically cheat , not in a way that will get us in mega trouble but they bought so many players that they fell foul of the FFP , took a 4pt hit but the players they bought were of a standard that kept them up , and as a result of staying up they have pushed on and are currently 6th

So next time we get promoted to the premiership Fuck the FFP and take the points hit
