Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan has urged Steve Cooper to reciprocate the loyalty shown to him by Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis.
The comments come after reports suggested Forest head coach Steve Cooper is the subject of interest from clubs like Tottenham, Chelsea and Leeds ahead of next season. Speaking about the interest on talkSPORT, Jordan insisted Cooper should reward Marinakis after the Reds owner went "against the norm" by keeping him in post when the team were struggling and handing out a new contract.
"There should be some reciprocation in terms of the loyalty," Jordan said. "I do think it was right for Nottingham Forest to give him a new contract because, quite frankly, he dragged them out of the division after 23 years of being away from the Premier League.
