Evangelos Marinakis is widely believed to be personally connected in Nottingham Forest's latest successes. Oliver Glasner, the Forest manager, is optimistic before an Ipswich game but under heavy scrutiny following a £13 million financial setback. Former Arsenal chief executive Edu has taken on a new role at a League Two club after Forest's recent dismissal. Marinakis' role is seen as a critical element in Forest's success, while Glasner's financial troubles and Edu's new role illustrate the club's present circumstances.
