What it was like in the directors’ box for Evangelos Marinakis during Nottingham Forest’s defeat to Brighton.

Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is extremely ambitious, and he watched the Reds lose to Brighton at the City Ground over the weekend.

Since the club’s promotion, the owner has not attended every game. He has, however, attended more home games than he did in the Championship.

Marinakis spent a lot of money again this summer. Ibrahim Sangare joined the club for a fee of £30 million, and he was joined by 12 other newcomers.

Naturally, the Greek businessman will want the team to stop squandering leads. The 3-2 defeat at the weekend was Forest’s second consecutive defeat by that scoreline after leading.

When fans visit the City Ground, they can’t see what Marinakis is up to from his seat in The Peter Taylor Stand.

According to The Athletic, he was not pleased with what he saw on Saturday.

“Marinakis has lofty ambitions for Forest,” they claimed. In the short term, he wants the club to compete at the other end of the table, aiming for a top-half finish. On Saturday, his frustration was visible in his body language in the directors’ box, as he gestured in frustration.”

Some supporters of Cooper have criticized the team’s playing style. On Saturday, the Reds took the lead but didn’t have a real chance until Brighton was reduced to ten men and the Seagulls won 3-2.

Marinakis portrays a frustrated figure.

The Forest’s owner is a fiery individual who wears his heart on his sleeve. He only wants the best for Forest, and he must have a lot on his mind right now.

Marinakis has a reputation for being a trigger-happy player, which he was at Olympiacos. Nobody can really see that Steve Cooper hasn’t remained loyal to him.

However, results must improve, and Steve Cooper will be aware of this. The nature of the goals conceded is very concerning, and something must be done immediately.

Forest has three games coming up against Everton, Fulham, and Wolves. Those three appear to be huge for Cooper, and hopefully the results will alleviate Marinakis’s frustrations.
