  • The only NFFC pod

    I absolutely love this pod, a daily listen on my commutes and as a far flung fan with a Nottingham family connection who only gets to about one game a year, it keeps me fully up to speed with everything on and off the pitch. A great group of regular contributors who I feel like I know really well and as balanced and fair a fan pod as youโ€™d hope to find. Keep up the great work Matt & team ๐Ÿ‘

Q: What is a realistic transfer fee for Diomande given Sporting's context and market dynamics?
