The Nottingham Forest fan forums are in meltdown following the replacement of Stuart 'Psycho' Pearce as manager and the resignation of CEO Paul Faulkner. Reports of 'delayed payments' are once again dogging Forest, as they were last year when they managed to avoid a High Court winding up petition 'at the eleventh hour'.

From the Telegraph:-

"Forest have been plunged into another off-field crisis after CEO Paul Faulkner followed Stuart Pearce out of the exit door, with sources claiming his position was untenable under the regime of chairman Fawaz Al-Hasawi.

Faulkner is alleged to have been exasperated by Al-Hasawi’s delay in paying clubs for players, with Hull City and Crystal Palace thought to have been waiting for payments owed for the Thomas Ince and Jack Hunt deals respectively.

Peterborough are also owed around £1.5million for Forest's £5.5million signing Britt Assombalonga and chairman Darragh MacAnthony accused Al-Hasawi of missing a payment on Monday night, insisiting it had prevented them (Peterborough) from signing players.

Faulkner, who previously held a similar role at Aston Villa, informed Al-Hasawi of his decision to resign and was promptly placed on gardening leave.

Pearce’s extensive back-room staff, which included Steve Wigley, Brian Eastick and Tim Flowers, have also been put on gardening leave in a mass clear-out which is likely to cost a significant amount of money in pay-offs."
