IN SHOCKING TURN OF EVENTS KEITH WYNESS DROPS SHOCKING COMMENT ABOUT NUNO
Everton’s former manager Keith Wyness believes Evangelos Marinakis will expect Nottingham Forest to finish closer to the mid-table next season.
Speaking on the latest episode of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, the 66-year-old, who was CEO at Goodison Park from 2004 to 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs, insisted Nuno Espirito Santo’s future will be called into question if they face another relegation battle.
The Portuguese manager led Forest to safety last season after taking over from Steve Cooper in December.
Although they finished one place above the relegation zone, the club received a four-point deduction after being charged with spending violations.
Nottingham Forest’s manager is likely expecting a mid-table finish.
Wyness believes Marinakis will be hoping Forest can climb the table and avoid relegation next season, having faced relegation in both of their previous campaigns in the Premier League.
He told Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast: “What I believe Marinakis will expect from Nuno is a season free of relegation fears.
“Establish themselves from 10th to 15th, remain there all season and have no worries about relegation. That would be what I’m sure Marinakis has in his mind for this year.
“They would then start the whole busy cycle of trying to establish themselves in the Premier League.
“That’s what he wants provided there is no more points deductions for them. They were almost doing that last season. That’s what he would expect at least.
“If they get lucky and push towards 10th, that would be great.
“Then I think Forest would start feeling that they are getting the hang of this and Marinakis would be happy seeing a more stable asset.
“That’s what I think his target is.
“If Nuno doesn’t achieve that and there is another relegation-battling season for whatever reason, then I think he’ll be thinking Marinakis is not shy of pushing the button.”
