Nottingham Forest dominate on and off the pitch, as they are 14th in terms of investment in Europe

Manos Staramopoulos • 5 de febrero de 2025

Forest  in the presence of its owner, Vangelis Marinakis, showed no mercy against Brighton at the "City Ground" and is now tied with Arsenal in 2nd place in the standings.

Nottingham Forest 5-0 defeat at Bournemouth, it

Nottingham Forest, which has a new CEO since January 5, Lina Souloukou (formerly of Roma), is doing more than excellently. Not only on the field, where after the 5-0 defeat at Bournemouth, it "burst out" mercilessly at Brighton. Which it crushed 7-0 (Dunk 12' og, Gibbs-White 28', Wood 32' , 64', 69' pen, Williams 89', Silva 90+1) to reach the biggest victory in its history in the Premier League and continue to dream... of stars. So far, Nottingham's biggest victory (in English football in general and before the Premier League was in 1991, when Tottenham had prevailed 7-0).


Nuno Espirito Santo's team, in the presence of its owner, Vangelis Marinakis, showed no mercy against Brighton at the "City Ground" and is now tied with Arsenal in 2nd place in the standings.


The last time the English club had a greater harvest of points in the first division of the English championship was in the 90s! Then in 1995-96 they had collected 58 points. Since then, in the years they played in the big halls, they have not had more than 38, in the first year they returned, 2022-23, when they finished with 38!.


New Zealand forward Chris Wood is also the first Reds player to score a hat-trick at home since 1987. After Nigel Clough in December 1997.




Financial power…


Meanwhile, the former European champion is also demonstrating financial power, as it is in 14th place worldwide, on the list of clubs that spent the most money in 2024 on transfers!.


“Money makes the world go round” say the famous lyrics and football could not be any different. Exorbitant amounts often ensure the successes and dynamics of a team, although they are not always a “panacea” for every football club".


However, they offer the necessary help in terms of reinforcement and renewal with transfers that can make a difference. A strategy that Vangelis Marinakis' Nottingham Forest also followed consistently in 2024.


The financial report presented by FIFA regarding the top 20 teams in the world that spent the most money on transfers in 2024 is informative and at the same time indicative of the policy followed by the Reds, who were in 14th place in the world rankings.


This is a jump of eight places compared to the position they secured in the similar report for 2023, which was also combined with a jump in the Premier League standings, where last year's battle for salvation gave way to the race for the top four!.


So the name of Nottingham Forest is above financially strong European giants such as Real Madrid, Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal. With the first three even remaining outside the top 20!.


In first place is Paris Saint-Germain, in second is Manchester United, while the podium is completed by Lyon despite the enormous debt that burdens it and also threatens it with relegation.


In the relevant list we also find the names of Bayern (4th), Atletico (6th), Chelsea (7th), Barcelona (9th), Juventus (10th) and Arsenal (16th), among others in a ranking where European teams dominate to an absolute extent.
