Because we've been through a period of heavy spending, mounting debt, insustainable financial policy (unless promoted) it's difficult to take aboard how severe the new financial cuts are.
Wes Morgan will be 30 by the end of next season and presumably is one of our biggest wages player.
The declared policy is to base the squad on talented young players whose transfer value will potentially increase. It would be consistent with this policy to sell him back to Forest.
But how quickly things change in football. Its not long ago that Forest were perceived as having no money and no ambition - and we were seriously splashing the cash.
Still there is nothing to worry about because no less authorities than the lead football writer of the LM and the expert analyst Dion Dublin have us marked down for automatic promotion. The deficiencies in central midfield and lack of cover in defence which cost us dear last season no longer apply -obviously.
