Nottingham Forest have reportedly sacked recruitment chiefs George Syrianos and Andy Scott following their questionable transfer business in the summer window.
Steve Cooper's side were promoted to the Premier League in May after beating Huddersfield 1-0 in the Championship play-off final at Wembley. That victory ended a 23-year exile from the top flight for a club that won the European Cup in 1979 and 1980.
Forest spent more than £150million on new players in the summer, making them the fourth highest spenders in European football. They invested more in their squad than Barcelona, Tottenham, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Arsenal and mega-rich Newcastle.
