Simon Jordan gives surprise reaction to Evangelos Marinakis claim
Pundit Simon Jordan has backed Evangelos Marinakis to deliver on a promise given to Nottingham Forest supporters over the summer.
In a recent open letter to supporters, Marinakis declared that “we are on a path to re-establish Nottingham Forest as a dominant force in English football
Former Palace owner Jordan, who is also an often divisive radio pundit, has backed Marinakis to deliver on his promise because of what he has already seen from the Forest owner
When asked if Marinakis was being realistic, Jordan said on talkSPORT: “Why not? It depends what dominant force means. Does it mean a highly competitive side in the league or does it mean dominating the league? Because that’s going to be a very tall order to be able to surpass Manchester City
What he said after the play-off final was an emotional reaction to the euphoria of achieving something that Nottingham Forest fans had waited for the best part of a quarter of a century for. What he’s saying now is not in the heat of emotion, it’s actually what he thinks he wants to impart rather than what his emotions dictate that he should.
