Nottingham Forest’s recruitment has been in the spotlight as the Reds fight for survival in the Premier League.
The impact made by signings from the past two transfer windows has certainly been mixed, and heads have rolled as a result. Transfer chiefs George Syrianos and Andy Scott were given the boot in October as Forest struggled to find their feet in the top-flight, while sporting director Filippo Giraldi was axed last week as he paid the price for a poor January.
At a crucial time of the season, the club really needed to get it right in the winter window. The final judgement will come down to whether or not they stay up, but overall the business done at the start of this year hasn’t had the desired effect.
