On and off the field, Nottingham Forest is attempting to make a name for itself as a Premier League team.
Evangelos Marinakis, the Reds’ extremely aspirational owner, won’t be content to merely make up the number.
He will want the football team to develop into one that contends for a spot in Europe and the top half of the Premier League.
Nuno Espirito Santo will eventually add players to his roster, but it also appears that things are going on off the field.
According to several stories from today, Forest may be looking to increase the number of employees, which is encouraging.
The Nottingham Forest is expected to name Miran Pavlin.
It appears that a new technical director is about to be appointed, indicating that changes are underway in the boardroom.
Slovenian Pavlin participated in the 2002 World Cup for his nation while he was a player.
“I got an offer from Nottingham Forest’s owner, Evangelos Marinakis, who also owns Olympiacos and Rio Ave,” he revealed in an interview with Delo.
“I didn’t think much at 52. I had the privilege of working for a consortium of three clubs in the Premier League, which is the greatest league in the world. For me, this is a great challenge.
Pavlin is scheduled to begin work one week from now. Forest intends to add a couple more players before the season officially begins.
The Ross Wilson appointment raises questions.
The part that Pavlin is going to play sounds a lot like the one that Ross Wilson plays on Trentside right now.
It will be interesting to watch how this one plays out and whether Wilson continues on when Pavlin assumes his post.
It appears that Pavlin will be splitting his workload across the three clubs controlled by Marinakis, which may lessen his significance to Forest.
Nevertheless, it will be intriguing to watch how this plays out and to learn what intentions Pavlin has for Forest.
