Evangelos Marinakis is widely believed to be personally connected in Nottingham Forest's latest successes. Oliver Glasner, the Forest manager, is optimistic before an Ipswich game but under heavy scrutiny following a £13 million financial embarrassment. Former Arsenal chief executive Edu has assumed a senior advisor position at a League Two club after Forest's latest managerial change. Marinakis' involvement is seen as a key factor in Forest's success, while Glasner's financial troubles and Edu's new role illustrate the club's present circumstances.
