Overview

  • After a 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace, Nuno called reports he wants out "absurd" but said he cannot guarantee he will still be in charge after the transfer window closes.
  • He confirmed he will meet owner Evangelos Marinakis and global head of football Edu this week to try to repair a deteriorated relationship centered on recruitment.
  • With a week left in the window, Nuno said Forest urgently need three signings, specifying a goalkeeper and two full-backs to bolster depth for multiple competitions.
  • The Football Association is investigating a banner targeting Marinakis that was displayed by Palace supporters at Selhurst Park.
  • Travelling fans and players showed clear support for Nuno as UK media continued to speculate about possible replacements without any confirmation from the club.
