Bournemouth or Forest

[Rjk]

who would you like to go up in the second automatic spot this season?

from a selfish point of view, forest aren't likely to be as strong next season, they'll lose Spence, and a good chance of losing Brennan Johnson - although that will give them plenty of money to invest.

On the other hand, if Bournemouth mess it up again them be into their last season of parachute payments and then they'll be in big trouble if they didn't go up. they have spent heavily and have tiny crowds so there's no way they could sustain their squad if they lose the parachute money. I think their average crowd is about 9k.

Don't we get £1m from Bournemouth if they go up?

Probably Forest. It's been long enough for them.

Forest for me. Don’t like either club, but for some reason dislike Bournemouth more.

Johnson will be in the last year of his contract, so they will either sell or possibly renew if they get promoted. Lot's of interest from other clubs with Spurs the latest to be mentioned, along with Brentford, Newcastle, Everton, West Ham, Leeds and Leicester, and the fans of just about every other Premier League club. I personally think Liverpool should take a punt and train him up as a long-term replacement for Salah, as they do have some similarities, although that would depend on him reaching his full potential. He is currently valued at £20-25m.

Regarding promotion, Bournemouth have to improve at some point, they can't let the chance slip through their fingers after they were so far ahead. Their game against Forest should be worth a watch, although the outcome is hard to predict.

Bournemouth by any means if it means we get an the add on for Moore transfer - I wouldn’t be surprised if this is already earmarked towards our transfer kitty.

As for the playoffs would like to see Nathan Jones take Luton up.

Forest. Primarily to keep Kieffer Moore in the Championship- he didn’t seem to try in a City shirt this season.

I think he tried just as much, just the team was far worse at creating chances for him
