Marinakis must now ditch one Nottingham Forest figure after alarming claim from PSR report – opinion

It seemed when Nottingham Forest appointed Dane Murphy as the club’s

chief executive in 2021 that Ioannis Vrentzos would take a backseat at the City Ground.

However, it seems that he still has more pies in more places within the club than

some would want him to after the club disclosed the findings of their PSR investigation.

The study makes repeated mention of Vrentzos, and it reveals that, ultimately,

a single, grave mistake on his part might have lost Forest far more than four points.

Evangelos Marinakis must stop using Vrentzos at Forest

It seems that some Forest supporters have had their eyes opened to the true

nature of Vrentzos’s role at the team. It appears from the report that Marinakis

has given him the go-ahead on certain transfer-related matters.

For supporters of Forest, that is a very unsettling idea. Vrentzos was heavily

involved when the team was middling in the Championship’s midtable and signing a lot of busts.

Obviously, Vrentzos and Marinakis will bring up some of the success stories

from Forest’s second-tier hiring. But just because there’s one sunny day doesn’t imply summer is here!

The important detail from the PSR investigation is that, according to

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Peter Blackburn, Vrentzos was the one

assigned to sell Brennen Johnson.

That shouldn’t have been hard considering that he scored eight Premier

League goals the previous season, but Marinakis’ dependable lieutenant nearly made an expensive error.
