David Moyes compares Nottingham Forest’s Premier League return to Leeds United's

West Ham United manager David Moyes drew similarities to Leeds United when discussing Nottingham Forest’s return to the Premier League. Two years ago, the Whites ended a 16-year exile from the top flight when they secured promotion under Marcelo Bielsa.

After an excellent debut campaign back in the big time, Leeds suffered second-season syndrome but survived by the narrowest of margins of the final day. Solidifying his side as an established Premier League outfit is top of Jesse Marsch’s to-do list.

Leeds’ decade and a half in the footballing wilderness was rookie numbers compared to what Forest fans have endured. Despite winning back-to-back European cups in 1979 and 1980, the Reds were relegated from the top flight in 1999.
