No complaints from me. He's done exactly what he said he would. I just hope he's true to his word with the developments of the training facilities and stadium.

Not a good day for EM yesterday.

Thankfully he was not in London to see us get stuffed by West Ham.

However he entered the field of play when in the 90th minute of the Olympiakos - Panathinaikos match VAR and the referee cancelled out an Olympiakos last minute winner.

EM was showed a yellow card by the referee and must surely be the first owner of a football club to be shown a yellow card!

Not as bad as the PAOK owner storming on to the pitch with a gun. Reckon he might have got more than a yellow if the ref wasnt scared for his life.

Maybe he just wanted the address of the ref's family business?

Look at the Oly player looking at the Big Man. He's thinking, shite, he's going to get some bother.

Karembeu also hiding behind the big man.

Long read from Oliver Kay of The Athletic about that match and the Olympiacos/Panathanaikos rivalry in general.

Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has made a further significant financial commitment to the club with the conversion of £41m worth of loans into shares in the 2021/22 financial year.

Converting the £41m debt into equity helps relieve the financial burden on the club, reaffirming Marinakis’ commitment to the continued development and future success of Nottingham Forest.

The move forms part of the club’s financial accounting process for its 2021/22 accounts. Details of the arrangement have been submitted to Companies House.

This follows a similar conversion of £12m of debt into equity in the previous year and over £20m in the year before that.

Chairman Nicholas Randall KC said: “Nottingham Forest is incredibly fortunate to have such generous financial support from its ownership.

“This latest financial commitment follows substantial spending on the playing squad in the Summer and January transfer windows, together with significant investment in infrastructure across the club.

“This includes the redevelopment of the tunnel, dressing rooms and hospitality areas in the Main Stand at The City Ground and improvements to pitches and training facilities at the Nigel Doughty Academy complex."

Dan, are you there?

EM having his say on greek football authorities and referees yesterday.

Marinakis leaving today's meeting between the President of the Greek football federation (EPO), head of officiating Steve Bennett, and Big-5 clubs of Greece:

“You expect me to tell you what EPO is? You don’t all know what EPO is? EPO is the worst thing there is." #OlympiacosFC

Actually his comments were some of the milder ones by the look of it. Their domestic league seems a total mess to say the least.

Maybe, I'm putting a grenade in starting up this thread.

However, I was thinking earlier about the 12 managers being sacked this season in the league. Clearly, it's an industry wise issue, all the analytics I've read suggest it isn't smart business, yet they keep doing it. Of course every situation is unique, some become completely untenable eg Nathan Jones. Or have had a long time to make the team slightly worse (Jesse Marsh). However, when you have a manager proven success, you don't need to sack them due to a bad run. Chelsea paid 21m for Potter and sacked him after 6 months, that's not good business.

Anyway, I digress, I actually wanted to praise EM for being one of the clubs that has resisted this fairly pointless urge. The media write a lot about clubs when they go through a bad run of results (despite simple factors like fixtures (Palace) ignored or injuries), it riles up fans and puts pressure on the owners to think making a change is worthwhile. EM resisted that in October, he has actually been pretty patient in relative championship terms with previous managers. Sabri and Hughton both lasted to the points where they didn't seem to want to be there anymore and longer than would happen at a lot of clubs, which I think deserves credit.

Obviously, this praise will be withdrawn if Cooper does go but lets see what actually happens first. Either way, it's difficult to argue that going against the grain and keeping the manager would be an impressive choice and would be the best decision he's made since appointing Cooper in the first place.
