Yeah, well, it was a job well done.
You know, Vitor Pereira came in with a very specific task of keeping Nottingham Forest in the Premier League and tried to juggle that with...
progress in Europe as well it was the first time they were back in Europe three decades and he managed to achieve both certainly emphatically in the case of staying in the Premier League and also getting them to the semi-finals of the Europa League as well where they they were beaten by Aston Villa so he did his job and he did it largely with a smile on his face he was a popular figure with the players he was a popular figure with the fans and he kind of
provided the kind of unity and togetherness that had been the cornerstone of Forrest's success under both Steve Cooper and Nuno Espirito Santo.
So yes, it was a little bit of a surprise that he departed in the manner that he did.
Ambition.
Ambition is the key word here for Forrest.
I think Evangelos Maranakis is a man who attracts...
let's be fair, a lot of criticism for different reasons.
But one thing you can never accuse him of is not making decisions that he thinks are in the best interest of Nottingham Forest and taking them on to the next level.
He's taken them from being in the championship to...
you know a year ago or just over a year ago being on the verge of challenging for a place in the Champions League so the transformation under him has been pretty emphatic and from the very beginning he's always seen Forest as being a club that in his eyes could be one that competes at the top end of the Premier League not perhaps against the very big guns but
as a club that could compete, you know, for challenging for a regular place in Europe.
And I think in Oliver Glasner, they see a man who's won trophies, who's won trophies at Crystal Palace, winning the FA Cup with them and then winning the Conference League with them last season.
And they see a man who can bring silverware and that kind of consistent success to the city ground now.
I think they'll probably be aiming to be back in Europe or at least competing to be in that kind of fight for European qualification.
Again, perhaps not Champions League, but certainly being in the mix for a top-half finish, a top-ten finish, whatever the requirements end up being for a place in Europe this year.
I think Forrester want to be competing on that level.
I think there was a feeling that amid a season of real chaos last year, they...
they underachieved a little bit with the squad that they've got.
