Off the field, Forest most certainly 'back' with a new set of owners who know what they are doing.
Plans for the stadium (and actual maintenance work done on the ground, paint, new technical area etc...refurbishment...Shock....*) show that, one day, when it's announced and completed, Forest will be 'back.' But it's great to have a set of owners who have got on this.
The sponsorship is 'back' with the best sponsorship Forest have ever had?
Manager. Top quality. I'd consider a 'top flight' class manager who will prove himself in the Premier league one day. No nonsense, no messing. He knows what a quality player is. He knows what he wants. He doesn't suffer passengers or time wasters or players who don't listen to instructions. Robust organisation. (But can 'play a bit') Decent possession. Players know exactly what their job is. An Accountable Forest team. (And with the new signings, we'll see what Karanka's side can really do.) The best manager Forest have had since... (So, in this regard, Forest are back.)
In the transfer market, Forest have triple smashed their transfer record and signed 7 high calibre quality and shrewd value for money players in record time for the pre-season (something I don't think we've ever seen before?) and with more business to be done yet to be done and yet more promise of the kind of players Forest will need to charge for promotion. This looks to be the best transfer window since Clough brought in his big guns. Forest are certainly 'back' in the transfer window.
But I won't consider Forest well and truly 'back' until they are promoted.
