Evangelos Marinakis sent Nottingham Forest plea as sacking rumours grow

Nottingham Forest fans have responded to reports about the possibility of major changes happening at the City Ground.

While Steve Cooper's job is on the line following the Reds' 4-0 defeat at Leicester City, the future of some other key staff could also be in doubt. NottinghamshireLive understands that "changes are being considered at boardroom level and within the club's recruitment team."

Chief executive Dane Murphy, head of data and analytic recruitment George Syrianos and head of scouting Andy Scott are understood to be at risk of the axe following the club's recent transfer business. Forest signed 22 players in the transfer window this summer, spending just under £150million.

Here is what the Reds faithful have had to say about the latest developments on social media...

Grant Fellows: "Would also be a mistake, they were not in full control over the summer."

Will: "That would be a horrendous decision."

JackWhaley: "Doesn’t matter who we hire or sack because we all know Marinakis runs the show."

Raji Seun: "Integrating 22 players is always going to be a miracle."

Kian: "This is pathetic from the lot higher up. Breaking everything we have made."

Steve Mullet: "Only had success because of Cooper's miracle, arrogantly now think it was their success and the club will suffer. I'm sure it was all Murphy and Cooper's doing and the parallel to Olympiacos summer business (24 signings and 3 managers) is total coincidence."

Alex: "Murphy being blamed for recruitment after the owners signed most of the players."

Jordan Thelen: "Just lost for words… Blowing up everything that was set up for us long-term and got us promoted well ahead of plan."

John Reece: "If the recruitment team had actually been in full control of the signings, I could see the reasoning behind this to an extent. They weren’t though and no one from that team recommended that they sign so many players whilst neglecting the centre of defence."

Lee: "The owner has to take some blame for the mess the club is in at the moment."

Thomas Payne: "Here we go. Forest are back!"

Chris Kearney: "We boycott if this happens, surely? Maybe try letting them do the job you put them in there to do."

Liam Henshaw: "Ah yes. Please Mr Marankis let's go back to agent led recruitment. That is exactly what is needed. Pretty mad if this is true given fair amounts of the recruitment was done by Marinakis Jnr."

Daniel: "I knew we'd embarrass ourselves in this league. Talk about victims of your own success."

Joe Gardenson: "I really doubt Murphy, Syrianos and Cooper were responsible for all that business."
