Nottingham Forest favourite praises crucial Evangelos Marinakis decision

Glenn Murray believes that Nottingham Forest are getting their "just rewards" for not sacking manager Steve Cooper earlier in the season.

Cooper, 43, came under severe pressure after the Reds lost five consecutive matches in the Premier League between the end of August and early October. Despite the team's poor results after a summer in which almost £150m was spent on transfers, Evangelos Marinakis handed the head coach a brand new contract, tying him to the club until 2025.

It's proved to be an inspired decision, as the Welshman turned things around before long. They have lost just three of their ten league games since the new deal was signed, while also managing to beat Liverpool at the City Ground.
