Evangelos Marinakis move praised as Nottingham Forest hero makes prediction

Nottingham Forest legend Stuart Pearce has tipped the Reds to "have a good go" at the Premier League this season.

Pearce thinks Forest will finish well clear of the relegation zone thanks to owner Evangelos Marinakis backing the club in the transfer market this summer.

Left-back Pearce, who played for Forest from 1985 until 1997 and managed the club during the 2014-15 season, has also said the squad are "well coached" under the guidance of head coach Steve Cooper.

"The amount of players Forest brought in... even after three games, you can't see them going down," Pearce told talkSPORT. "You can't see them being near the relegation zone, I don't think.

"I think they've got enough choices within the squad. The owners have spent a lot of money, they're well coached. I think they're going to have a good go this year."

Forest have signed 16 players so far this summer, including former West Ham loanee Jesse Lingard, who Pearce knows well from his time at the London Stadium as a coach. He will be a key factor in making Pearce's prediction for the season become a reality for Forest this season.
