Steve Cooper needs a win as Nottingham Forest manager with the club’s ambitious owner Evangelos Marinakis growing increasingly frustrated.
After losing to Brighton at home Saturday – a defeat that leaves Forest just outside the bottom six – sources suggest Cooper’s future is up for debate again.
The Forest board have yet to decide on an alternative manager and it is not believed they have made approaches, which suggests Cooper may still have time to turn the tide. Yet it is believed his relationship with Marinakis has grown increasingly strained in recent times.
He is popular with supporters and despite back-to-back 3-2 defeats in the Premier League, maintains the backing of a large majority, having led the club from the bottom of the Championship to 14th in the top flight in a little more than two years at the helm.
Forest face Everton at home next and, while Cooper is expected to take his place in the dug-out, he will need a win to keep the wolf from the door amid serious pressure.
