- The club could have serious consequences if the debts are not settled quickly
Nottingham Forest owe millions in arrears to players and agents.
Mail Sport understands that those who left the club this summer would receive their bonuses for last season, including Premier League survivorship payments, at the end of July.
However, they did not get off the ground. It could also be revealed that a number of brokers, also owed millions, are now considering legal action, potentially liquidating petitions against the club.
They are waiting for commission payments on transfers and are ready to escalate things should debts not be paid quickly.
If Forest continues to delay, it could have serious consequences. Last season, following promotion from the Championship, Forest embarked on an extensive shopping spree, bringing 21 players to the City Ground in a hectic summer period. By the end of the year, there were 30, leaving them with a hefty bill to agents.

This summer there has been a large number of departures, with six free players.
Bosch declined to comment. Players who remain with the club will receive their bonuses at the end of August. It is assumed that those who left will receive their fees at the same time.
After a shaky start, Forest finished 16th, four points clear of relegation, under manager Steve Cooper.
It has been a relatively uneventful transfer window so far, with three new signings including United winger Anthony Elanga, Newcastle striker Chris Wood and Torino right-back Ola Aina.
On Wednesday, Forest suffered a disappointing 5-0 defeat to France’s Stade Rennais in a behind-closed-door friendly at St George’s Park.
