Real Football Man All of the Football, All of the time
Nottingham Forest have sacked two of the staff that were vigorously engaged in the summer recruitment of 22 players
Head of recruitment George Syrianos and Andy Scott, the head scout, have both left the City Ground.
Their exit follow Filippo Giraldi’s appointment – yet it is perceived that owner Evangelos Marinakis made the decision.
Forest burned through £145m after returning to the Premier League for the first time in 23 years.
Because of out-of-agreement and loan signings moving on – notwithstanding the expansion in quality required for the top flight – Forest required a huge flood of players after their promotion.
Nonetheless, with the club currently lying second bottom, the nature of the strategy is being addressed.
Forest have five points at the time of writing and have only picked two points in their last seven outings.
Just Wolves who they meet at Molineux on Saturday – have scored less than their seven goal and just Leicester have conceded more than their 22.
Regardless of their troublesome beginning to the season, manager Steve Cooper signed another deal until 2025 on 7 October.
There had been questions over his future following a 4-0 loss by Leicester City, yet it was concluded he would stay in control.
The arrival of Sporting Director Giraldi, who spent nine years at Watford, is seen as an endeavor to help keep Forest in the Premier League.
