Unveiling the drama: Evangelos Marinakis and Nottingham Forest's turbulent football saga Nottingham Forest Football Club, under the ownership of Evangelos M. Marinakis, have become synonymous with controversy and confrontation in the Premier League. Recently highlighted by their contentious reaction to VAR decisions after a defeat to Everton, the club's aggressive stance continues to stir discussions. Marinakis’ influence is evident, marked by a history of both success and strife, from his time in Greek football to his current role at Forest. 1: What recent actions by Nottingham Forest have caused controversy in the Premier League? Nottingham Forest have been in the spotlight following a series of confrontational actions, including a post-match tweet critical of VAR, leading to investigations by the Premier League and the FA. The club has also faced fines and a points deduction for various breaches, highlighting their often contentious approach under Marinakis' ownership. 2: How has Marinakis' background influenced his management of Nottingham Forest? Marinakis' tenure at Nottingham Forest reflects his previous experience in Greek football with Olympiacos FC, where he dealt with success as well as controversy. His approach often involves a high turnover of managers and a robust response to competitive challenges, which has been mirrored in his management style at Forest. 3: What are some specific examples of Marinakis’ impact on the club's strategy and operations? Since taking over, Marinakis has overseen a large number of managerial changes and player signings, pushing for quick success. This includes the unconventional role of a refereeing consultant to potentially mitigate contentious match decisions, highlighting his willingness to innovate and challenge norms. 4: What might the future hold for Nottingham Forest under Marinakis' ownership? Looking ahead, Marinakis’ past suggests that he will continue to push for success while possibly inviting more controversies. His assertive management style and strategic decisions likely mean that Forest will maintain a high profile, for better or worse, in the competitive landscape of English football. #SportsBusiness #Football #SportsBiz #Finance #People #Data #Tech #Intelligence #Investment

We would like to make you aware of our support to Loughborough University, who is conducting crucial research on the commercial representation of football talent by football agents. We welcome the high-level expertise of Dr. Serhat Yilmaz and his team in leading this initiative.   EFAA recognizes the value of having clear data that demonstrates the diversity of agent services and highlights the need for proper regulation of various aspects of agency work. This foundation is essential for managing football players' careers beyond their activities on the pitch. We support the aim to conceptualize commercial representation and advance this activity in the football market. Through qualitative interviews with agents and experts, Loughborough has developed a conceptual framework. Now, your perspectives are needed to refine and finalize this framework into a practical toolkit for agents’ day-to-day business and proper representation in the football industry.   A survey has been designed based on a conceptual model, and it is now live! Your participation will help us capture empirical data crucial for refining this model. To complete the survey please follow the link below.   Please distribute the survey within your own network to ensure wide participation. Your insights are invaluable in advancing our collective goals.   Thank you for your support and participation.  https://lnkd.in/griX6sQU  

We already know how physical performance drops over the course of a match, however, does that correlate with a reduction in technical output? Are some players able to still output at the same level technically despite running less far or having fewer high speed actions? Equally, if they are producing at the same level technically, are those technical actions in the correct areas? Or because they have reduced their movement, are we finding players dictating play in areas that no longer work in the greater scheme of the tactics. These are the sort of questions you can answer with Playermaker. Those nuanced queries around why my team performs a certain way under certain conditions. I adore during demos asking coaches and analysts these sort of questions, as that's when you begin to see their knowledge kick in. Watching a coach go into their element and assess how they might improve performance, them hear them vocalise solutions is great fun. More of these conversations please! #football #soccer #analysis #sportanalysis

With the football Euro’s upon us I think the graphic below is vital for national team coaches… It shows the Extended Challenge Point from Hodges and Lohse (building on the work of Guadagnoli and Lee in the early 2000’s)… Practice to transfer Practice to learn Practice to maintain My own personal judgement & decision-making for the Euro’s - I’d argue most, if not all, activities should lie in ‘practice to transfer’… I would do very little, if any maintenance practice. And minimal learning practice (other than running patterns and team shape - and even then I’d have that opposed as often as possible).
