The Nottingham Forest squad for 2024/25 will want things to be less controversial in the new season.
After a second year of battling against relegation, a little more stability and even upward mobility would be excellent. If you peer through the clutter, there is the basis of a pretty good team at Nottingham Forest: a solid and dependable goalkeeper in Matz Sels, a reasonable blend of youth and experience at the back, a potentially excellent midfield, two terrific wingers in Callum Hudson-Odoi and Anthony Elanga, with Morgan Gibbs-White knitting it all together.
That should really be at the very least a strong core to build around, but with Forest you know the next bout of chaos is just around the corner. Failing stability, not bursting into tears every time we see Steve Cooper in the Leicester dugout would be an achievement.
The issue is, Forest tend not to learn lessons. They are the kings of hopping from one strange situation to another, ultimately managing to come out the other end broadly unscathed. But if they are to take one thing on board and change for the future, it must be to live within the financial rules.
