Hopefully Nottingham doesn't do that. Because it's always quite annoying when I see a club improving rapidly in one season but then at the end of the season they let go of some of their mainstay players. And then in the following season the team's performance deteriorated again as if returning to the performance before they had improved. And that's always quite annoying in my opinion. But yeah, I also understand that the goal is money and business. But if the club thinks long term then continuing to maintain the quality of the team is the best. And then sponsors from various companies will come and make the club benefit more. Unless the offer is high enough and can enable the club to be able to buy even better players. But it is also a risky move even though it is profitable in the short term.
If Nottingham still maintains its current players and coach, and maybe some new additions can help them compete with big European teams, Nottingham still has the potential to compete.
You can also see how Aston Villa competed last season by getting 1 ticket to the Champions League. Even now they can compete until the quarter-finals, that's extraordinary when compared to what they achieved in the Premier League this season.
There will always be a team that surprised last season but struggled in the new season.
For the past three seasons, the premier league has been seeing one of the average teams rising up to take a spot in the top 4. Season before last was Newcastle, last season was Aston villa and this season Nottingham forest is showing us that they are next in line to maintain the o
standard that has being set. Maybe next season we will see another team making headline like Nottingham forest are doing. If eventually they make the top 4, they are definitely going buy players that can help them compete in Europe. As we have seen the other teams behaved when they make it to Europe, that's what we should expect from Nottingham forest next season in the premier league. They are definitely going to struggle to cope with the league and champions league football. But if they can set their plans very well in the summer, they can make sure they have enough players that can help them compete very well. But FFP is going to be in their way.
