Nottingham Forest have sacked head of recruitment George Syrianos and head scout Andy Scott, according to reports.
The Reds brought in 21 new players in the summer transfer window following promotion to the Premier League in May, with Serge Aurier become signing number 22 when he arrived on a free transfer shortly afterwards. Almost £150 million was spent in transfer fees, with the club's transfer record broken on two occasions to secure the services of Taiwo Awoniyi and Morgan Gibbs-White.
Steve Cooper has struggled to bed in all the new faces into his squad, with Forest currently stuck in the bottom three. The Reds have picked up just one point in their previous six games and have suffered heavy defeats to Manchester City and Leicester City.

Now, after reports over the past week that owner Evangelos Marinakis was debating a revamp of the team behind the scenes at the club, Syrianos and Scott have apparently been dismissed from their roles.
The Telegraph's John Percy tweeted that the pair have been sacked following a review of the business completed in the transfer window.
He adds that Marinakis and recently-appointed sporting director Filippo Giraldi conducted the review and the decision was confirmed on Tuesday evening.
It was confirmed last week that Cooper would stay on as manager after signing a new contract, while chief executive Dane Murphy is "set to stay" at the club following previous suggestions that his job could be at risk.
