When you've had as many managers as Nottingham Forest have had this century, it's often hard to renew your enthusiasm. Sabri Lamouchi's appointment in June 2019 was met with something of a shrug, a little-known name on the back of a disappointing season. He didn't last, of course, and Vitor Pereira arrives at a time when hope and belief are things we've only experienced intermittently this campaign. Since finishing seventh last season, there's been bad decision after bad decision by the club's hierarchy. We have to hope Pereira's arrival is finally a good one.
