FOREST COSY UP TO THE BIG SIX

NOTTINGHAM FOREST have already made an impact off the pitch since their return to the Premier League with the club taking a conscious decision to align themselves with the ‘Big Six’ in shareholder meetings.

Whereas most newly-promoted clubs keep their heads down initially, Forest have made it clear they see themselves as being in the top flight to stay and intend to side with the big boys. The move reflects the ambition of owner Evangelos Marinakis and could affect the balance of power in the top flight by enabling the ‘Big Six’ to block proposals from the remaining clubs. The number of votes

required for any changes to be introduced is 14.
