Ross Wilson has been interviewed for the role of Sporting Director at Newcastle.

Not Forest related but there's an interesting and very sad article on The Athletic about how Sheffield Wednesday have stagnated under Dephon Chansiri's ownership.

Sobering as it could easily have been us had EM not taken over from Fawaz.

Huddersfield were after him too. Now he's being interviewed at Newcastle.

Is his interviewing at a rival impacting our transfer activity so far this summer? Is Edu coming in (will this be announced?) a reason there's been noise about Wilson leaving?

That's not a good thing to hear.
EM may not be very happy with this, unless he's been asked to look elsewhere.

I thought Edu's role was going to be across all EM's clubs rather than just Forest.

As to your other point - hopefully it's just because it's still early in the window that we've not had any confirmed signings yet (Jesus soon presumably) but you have to wonder.

Oh, I thought that too about Edu being across all the family of clubs. 

I just wondered if Edu's role and responsibilities (whatever they'll be), have been a factor in Wilson interviewing for another role?

Without knowing what goes on behind the scenes, by the looks of things on the outside, the club has been in very good shape since Wilson came in so him leaving would surely be a blow.

Hopefully away from the recruitment side. Poor record for negotiations and some players at arsenal, most there fans happy to see him gone.. likes to overpay for players. And has more fails than completions of signings

Nope. I'd say most of there fans are bitter that he has left for Forest. Isn't Edu the reason why they are competing for the title the last three seasons. Also it is a very well known fact Arteta was the one behind all their signings. He is very much a control freak. Forest actually have a good recruitment team in place already. You already know by now Marinakis does the negotiating.

Hopefully the Spanish vibes and not the Leicester vibes from the dark blue one.  :Funny:

The quotes and tweets suggest otherwise
