Nottingham Forest: 23/24 Season Review

This was the 158th season in their history and the second consecutive season in the Premier League. The club also competed in the FA Cup and the EFL Cup.

On 15 January 2024, the Premier League charged Nottingham Forest with breaching the league's profit and sustainability rules. By 18 March, Forest were found guilty and handed a four-point deduction. The club appealed the decision on 26 March, but on 7 May, it was announced that their appeal had failed, and the four-point deduction was upheld.

Despite this setback, Forest managed to secure their Premier League status on the final day of the season with a 2–1 victory away at Burnley. They finished the season with 32 points, breaking the previous record for the lowest points tally of any team to survive in the Premier League, which was set by West Bromwich Albion in the 2004–05 season with 34 points.

In August, Forest found themselves 2-0 up against Manchester United at Old Trafford. However, United United managed a remarkable comeback after being two goals behind to secure an exciting victory.

In September, they were probably frustrated that they didn't pick up a point against Manchester City. City had to dig in to protect an early 2-0 lead and succeeded in keeping Forest at arm's length despite Rodri being sent off early in the match. Reaction as City forced to hold on against Forest 

In December, there was a huge development as they sacked iconic manager Steve Cooper. The announcement that Cooper had been dismissed came after Forest lost five of their past six games. Cooper departed The City Ground having played an integral part in Forest’s return to the Premier League.

A few months later, Forest were penalised with a deduction of four points for violating the Premier League's profit and sustainability regulations.  An independent commission discovered that the club's losses for the period until 2022-23 exceeded the £61m threshold by £34.5m. As a result, Forest went into the relegation zone where they temporarily dropped below Luton Town.

At the start of May, safety from relegation was almost secured after a hard-fought win over Sheffield United. Callum Hudson-Odoi scored two goals and Ryan Yates added another to secure what proved to be a vital three points.

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Manchester United 5 - 2 Leicester City  Ruud van Nistelrooy began his tenure as Manchester United’s interim manager on a high, with his team cruising past Leicester to secure a spot in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
