Maybe it started the day Chris Hughton left, or with the first win at Huddersfield Town or, most likely, it started on September 21 last year - the day Steve Cooper was appointed Nottingham Forest boss.
Wherever the journey back to the Premier League started, it is clear where it ended, with the nerve shredding victory in the play-off final against Huddersfield Town at Wembley. Under Hughton, Forest stood on one rake and then another in the same vein as Simpsons bad guy Sideshow Bob. Earlier this week a Twitter dedicated to Forest and the American cartoon put out a video that summed the situation perfectly, as stupid as it sounds.
'Save me Jebus' cried Homer. Enter Forest's saviour - Steve Cooper. So much has been written about Cooper and the work he has done. When he arrived he was struck by the atmosphere at home games, by the history and potential of the club.
