Rob Earnshaw praises Evangelos Marinakis' hands-on role at Nottingham Forest

Forest, and Marinakis, have made plenty of headlines since rejoining the Premier League ranks. Life is rarely dull at the City Ground and the Reds are considered to have the perfect leader at their helm - as the legendary 'Rebel City' mentality of Robin Hood is embraced in Nottingham.

Fans have fully bought into high hopes, along with those that grace the dressing room. "When Mr Marinakis comes on the pitch and he’s greeting players in the tunnel, for me there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Also, in Greece, when you are the owner, you are entitled to go in the dressing room, to go on the pitch, it’s part of the game as you come and be part of it - you speak with the players and you are the man in the middle," Earnshaw said.

"As the owner, you get a better feeling of what’s going on inside the football club. I have no problem with it and think Mr Marinakis has done a fantastic job.
