£1.5m Nottingham Forest transfer turned into a disaster: View
The Algerian spent two seasons at the City Ground and arrived as a marquee signing
Nottingham Forest finally ended their 23-year exile from the Premier League having sat bottom of the Championship table in the 2021/22 season until Steve Cooper’s arrival.
Over the years, players from far and wide have walked through the doors of the City Ground, hopeful they are the ones to help return this historic club to the division it so rightly belongs.
Some evidently did a better job than the large majority of signings made by the East Midlands club, with the Reds having finished in the play-off places in just four of their previous 14 seasons in the second tier, which accumulated to 21 different managers coming, trying, but ultimately failing.
Their ownership for a large portion of their time in the Championship came under the stewardship of Kuwaiti businessman, Fawaz Al Hasawi, who sanctioned the transfers of arguably some of the most unsuccessful players to ever wear the Garabaldi Red.
