Overview

• After the 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace, Nuno Espirito Santo called suggestions he wants to leave “absurd” and said he will meet owner Evangelos Marinakis and global head of football Edu to restore harmony.
• He remained on the touchline at Selhurst Park but said he could not guarantee he will still be in charge after the transfer window closes, stressing the situation “has to be solved.”
• Nuno previously acknowledged his relationship with Marinakis has deteriorated and referenced “no smoke without fire” as speculation grew, with tensions linked to transfer planning and Edu’s new role.
• Reports by journalist Matteo Moretto say Marinakis is considering sacking Nuno and assessing alternatives, including Ange Postecoglou, though the club has not confirmed any such move.
• Forest have invested nearly £100m on James McAtee, Omari Hutchinson, Arnaud Kalimuendo and Douglas Luiz, yet Nuno says he still needs a goalkeeper and two full-backs before the September 1 deadline.
