Peterborough United owner Darragh McAnthony says he is happy to do business with Nottingham Forest this summer, despite past deals turning ugly under the former Reds regime.
Forest's business history with the the League One club is far from squeaky clean, with late U-turns and failed payments on their track record.
McAnthony, who so often takes to Twitter to vent his frustrations, has twice in the past come to blows with management at the City Ground while the Reds were under the ownership of Kuwaiti businessman Fawaz Al-Hasawi.

Initially, in 2013, Forest famously pulled out of a deal to sign midfielder George Boyd at the last minute with surprise concerns over the quality of his eye-sight, keeping him at London Road and denting United's deadline day bussiness.
An angry McAnthony would take to social media to say: "Why are Nottingham Forest messing around with my club?

"After putting Boyd through a medical since 10am, their owner has stopped the deal at the last minute when their manager wants him. Farcical and ridiculous.
"Apparently after playing 300 games in six and half years, his vision isn't 20/20 so no deal. Total disgrace the whole thing."
Two years later, the two clubs would fall out again, this time over missed payments regarding the deal to bring striker Britt Assombalonga to the City Ground.
The Reds were placed under a transfer embargo, and those payments were eventually settled, but not before McAnthony was left furious, describing the situations as a "shambles".
Posh and Forest also did business last summer as Darren Ferguson welcomed forward Jason Cummings on what proved to be a disastrous loan spell.
Cummings scored six goals in 22 appearances for the Posh, but was hammered by his chairman for him poor work rate at London Road and saw his loan scrapped in January.
Five months on, and now asked on Twitter if his past experiences in dealing with Forest would put him off any summer business, McAnthony maintained that he would not be put off.

"In our business, grudges are pointless with other clubs as somewhere down the line you'll need each other or something from one another," he said.
"So no, I'm okay doing business with Forest, anytime."
