Unai Emery

[RamboandBruno]

Normally agree with most everything you say Smithy, but whilst I do think the S/F will be tough (obviously hope Im wrong and we cruise through), i think its a leap to say Forest will be in the hunt for Europe next season. They might be of course, but Pereira had a really big impact at Wolves before it all unravelled really quickly and whilst Forest have better players than Wolves, who knows which ones they’ll sell this summer. I can’t see Gibbs-White being there for another year.

Wolves sold a number of their better players from underneath him without replacing them properly.

Their form had started to nosedive again once they were safe last season

A very interesting point I heard in a podcast talked about the value of Unai and the fact that he has not only lifted the quality of the playing side, but this has resulted in an increase of revenue of £100 - £150m, all down to him.

I hadn’t really thought of the financial benefits he has brought to the club and it probably puts him up there with the most important and impactful people we have ever had the club.

His impact has been truly transformational.

Pereira has been at a club more than 2 years once and he’s been at his last 5 clubs a year or less. It’s reasonable to take a punt and suggest he starts well and tails off.
