What an amazing few weeks!
Olympiacos became European champions and I covered this triumph via The Sun, BBC, TNT Sports, Sky Sports and
@Gate7Intl

This time I spoke with
@SkySportsNews
and explained what this achievement really means and what's next
#NFFC
1. Leave EU members won NO wars
2. Britain didn't win any of those 2 wars alone
3. OUR ancestors fought in both wars to obliterate fascism and unite Europe
4. The creators of Brexit are not HALF the men our ancestors are/were.
5. This post does NOT represent Britain
UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss mistook Greek Foreign Secretary Nikos Dendias with singer Nikos Vertis.
That happened in a post about the deaths of ethnic Greeks in Ukraine.
Not at all shocked from this shambolic Tory government which has been totally out of touch since 2016
Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper is obviously under pressure.
But I understand his position is not as much under threat as recent reports suggest.
Forest are still likely to stick with him
#NFFC
Arsenal technical director Edu met with Lille star Jonathan David’s agent and sees him as one of three transfer alternatives to Fiorentina's Dusan Vlahovic.

Word has it that Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is keen on major transfers ahead of the next Premier League season but will continue placing a lot of faith on current talent.
CEO Dane Murphy and manager Steve Cooper's opinion will play a major role

If

She is the whole package right now, incredible in-ring skills and among the most entertaining personalities.
She is the only one worthy of dethroning Becky Lynch

At the end of the day, professional wrestling is about moments.
And ironically enough, those moments usually don't involve wrestling.
But they always lift our spirits, especially during dark times like today.

Here is why I think the story as well as
@RealPaigeWWE
's struggles and triumphs define the spirit of WWE's Women's Revolution
As I recently reported, Steve Cooper was, and still is, under pressure.
But he was never under as much pressure as other reports suggested.
Evangelos Marinakis was never close to firing Cooper.
Marinakis is a big fan and knows how much the fans love him

Former Chelsea technical director Michael Emenalo - the man who brought Kevin De Bruyne, Mohamed Salah, N’Golo Kante and Eden Hazard - is confident he will become Newcastle's new director of football

When Evangelos Marinakis took over Nottingham Forest in 2017 I knew he had big plans after his Olympiacos success.
Forest are now in the Top 10 of most valuable clubs in the Prem.
Marinakis told me he aspires to take the club to new heights and he’s really working on it
#NFFC
Nottingham Forest will play a friendly match against owner Evangelos Marinakis' other team Olympiacos on December 10 at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium in Greece - as per Olympiacos manager Michel

Ronda Rousey is so brilliant... So much strength, power, athleticism and flexibility. If she improves her promos and works hard on her mic skills she can become the biggest female legend in WWE history

🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨
Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis will approach summer transfer window based on what manager Steve Cooper and CEO Dane Murphy need.
Marinakis will also invest over £2m on training ground and £3.5m into the academy's facilities
#NFFC
Taiwo Awoniyi, what a player!
Awoniyi is the perfect proof that Nottingham Forest needed significant time to gel and deliver after all those transfers - been saying this all season.
Very likely we will see a completely different Forest next season

Nottingham Forest were so right to offer manager Steve Cooper a new deal.
Cooper took Forest to the League Cup semi-finals for the first time in 29 years.
And at this stage anything can happen in a competition Nottingham stood out between 1978 and 1992
#NFFC
Odysseas Vlachodimos joining Nottingham Forest.
Odysseas posed as an absolute rock between the sticks for Panathinaikos, Benfica and Greece.
I am very confident he can make Forest fans forget about Dean Henderson
#NFFC
EXCL: Odisseas Vlachodimos to Nottingham Forest, here we go! Deal agreed with Benfica right now, it’s all sealed between clubs 🚨🌳
#NFFC
Player now travelling to the UK for medical tests later today.
New goalkeeper for Forest.
#DeadlineDay
Nottingham Forest technical director Francois Modesto did a brilliant job at Olympiacos signing talented hidden gems like Pape Abou Cisse, Ousseynou Ba and Mahdi Camara, all of whom elevated the team and have been linked with Premier League moves.
Forest are in good hands
#NFFC
What I know so far:
There is no decision yet on Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper's future, his position is still not under as much threat as previously reported.
"Discussions are ongoing" and things are currently "calm" at the club despite the poor start
#NFFC
Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper is obviously under pressure.
But I understand his position is not as much under threat as recent reports suggest.
Forest are still likely to stick with him
#NFFC
Daniel Podence update:
Reports in Greece claim it is only a matter of time until Podence signs with Wolves.
A deal worthy €25million has been agreed with Olympiacos and the player could travel to the UK today.
Olympiacos remain silent but a deal could be sealed by tonight
#WWFC
Said it before, will say it again:
Odysseas Vlachodimos is a stunning goalkeeper and deserves this opportunity at Newcastle this time round.
It didn’t work out at Nottingham Forest, but Vlachodimos’ success at Benfica and Greece is undeniable
#NFFC
🚨⚪️⚫️ Newcastle have booked medical for Odysseas Vlachodimos later today in order to complete move from Nottingham Forest.
↪️ Elliot Anderson will move to
#NFFC
in £35m transfer, second one after Yankuba Minteh to Brighton.
Vlachodimos has accepted, as Daily Mail called.
There is currently no update regarding Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper.
Everything remains the same and any further statements are not expected.
At this time, Cooper is set to lead Forest during the busy festive Premier League fixtures
#NFFC
Hearing rumors suggesting Nottingham Forest approached Maurizio Sarri shortly after his dismissal from Lazio to replace Nuno Espírito Santo as manager.
I can confirm this is not true
#NFFC
Shakhtar Donetsk director of football Darijo Srna told
@SunSport
Olympiacos and Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis offered to host them in Greece for two months and cover all the costs himself amid the war
#NFFC
Absolutely incredible by Nottingham Forest today.
Nuno Espirito Santo has been on the job for less than a month and already secured Forest's first back-to-back wins of the season!
Still early days, but there is plenty of potential here!
#NFFC
Josh Bowler is set to join Nottingham Forest for £2million from Blackpool.
Bowler will then be loaned out to Olympiacos until the end of the season, just like Hwang Oui-jo was
#NFFC
Jose Sa's move to Wolves has been completed.
Sa will replace Rui Patricio in goal after a deal worth €8-9million (£6.9-7.7m).
Olympiacos have already found a replacement, who has verbally agreed.
Hearing rumours it's Tomas Vaclik, but Marco Bizot still in the picture

about the following:
- Dream match with Ronda Rousey
- Important advice from

Wolves are lining up Olympiacos goalkeeper Jose Sa as a replacement for Rui Patricio, who has agreed personal terms with Roma.
Sa is a goalkeeper that has inspired tremendous confidence between the sticks for Olympiacos, especially during most of the big games in Europe
#WWFC
Former Huddersfield manager Carlos Corberan has taken over at Olympiacos less than a month after his resignation from John Smith's Stadium.
Corberan is set for baptism by fire as he will lead his new team against Slovan Bratislava on Thursday's Europa League qualifier

I recently had a great interview with
@RheaRipley_WWE

During our discussion we talked about her immense support for the
#BlackLivesMatter
movement and she had a strong message to share.
Check it out:
Nottingham Forest have verbally agreed to sign Fluminense captain Nino for about £6.1m.
Seems a very talented centre-back but Forest already have seven CBs.
This comes as Olympiacos are desperate for a top central defender.
Can't completely rule out another loan
#NFFC
🚨
#NottinghamForest
acordó de palabra la contratación de Nino, marcador central 🇧🇷 campeón de America.
👉🏾 El conjunto 🏴 pagará € 7M.
#Fluminense
recibirá el 60% mientras que
#Crici
úma percibirá el 40% restante.
Olympiacos will be without the injured Francisco Ortega on Thursday against Aston Villa.
Ortega set to be replaced by ex-England youth international and Nottingham Forest loanee Omar Richards.
This will be a major game for Richards
#NFFC
#AVFC
I came across a rumour claiming Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has spoken to the Greek press and strongly hinted at an imminent dismissal for manager Steve Cooper.
My sources have told me Marinakis NEVER had such an interview and NEVER discussed Cooper's future
#NFFC
Reports in Greece suggest Nottingham Forest loanee Omar Richards participated in all of Olympiacos' training sessions last week without any setbacks.
There's confidence Richards will soon play for the first team, but another game with the B team first seems likelier
#NFFC
Norwich are preparing an improved bid for Greek wonderkid Christos Tzolis.
I hear the Canaries are now offering PAOK close to €11million (£9m).
According to SPORT24, Tzolis could be awarded a four-year contract worth €1.5m (£1.3m) per year by the Premier League club!
#NCCFC
Nottingham Forest loanee Josh Bowler making the most of his rare start at Olympiacos.
Quite an impressive first-half performance against Nantes in the Europa League.
If he keeps it up, then he is making a strong claim to start in the derby against Panathinaikos
#UEL
#NFFC
To the entire Olympiacos family:
You're no longer a Greek club, you are officially a EUROPEAN club.
Stop wasting your time with Greek football's crap, you're way better than all of that.
And if you have half the belief the fans have in you, then you'll soon be European champions
🚨Gustavo Scarpa DONE with Olympiacos AND Nottingham Forest🚨
Scarpa has joined Atletico Mineiro following a €5m (£4.3m) deal with Forest.
The playmaker, who failed to stand out, signed a four-year contract worth north of £7m
#NFFC
Olympiacos will drop Nottingham Forest loanee Gustavo Scarpa in January after a failed stint.
According to Protathlitis, Scarpa isn't returning to Forest.
Instead he'll "immediately" return to Brazil.
Reports from Brazil claim Atletico Mineiro offer £4m - Flamengo also keen
#NFFC
This moment belongs to all the Olympiacos fans around the world and especially those who aren't here with us anymore.
Go out and celebrate until the morning, you have earned every last bit of it!
If Olympiacos know what's good for them, they will immediately get rid of those who ran their shambolic summer transfer business and overall pre-season. Those people should never work in football again
🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨
- Nottingham Forest seal the signing of Brandon Aguilera.
- Aguilera is heading back on loan to Costa Rican club Alajuelense
- The attacking midfielder is expected to play for Costa Rica in the 2022 World Cup
#NFFC
Omar Richards has started for Olympiacos' B team against Diagoras in Greece's Second Division in a bid to regain form.

Norwich have made a bid for Greek wonderkid Christos Tzolis.

But they want a higher bid
#NCFC
Wolves' initial bid of €4m for Nelson Oliveira was rejected by AEK Athens who want €6.5m.
Wolves are expected to make an improved bid and sources suggest that an offer worth €5m could seal the deal.
Oliveira is very keen to move to the Premier League
#WWFC
Reports suggest that Olympiacos have agreed to sell Daniel Podence to Wolves for a fee of £25million.
As said before, Podence is still expected to fly for a medical today (Friday)
#WWFC
Absolutely amazing victory for Nottingham Forest.
Forest signed a lot of key players late in the summer transfer window so we knew it would take time for that new team to gel.
Still loads of work to do to turn things around, however
#NFFC
There he is!
Moussa Niakhate has joined Nottingham Forest.
Niakhate passed his medical yesterday after an £8.6million deal with Mainz, which included £4.2m in add-ons.

Understand contract will be valid until June 2026.
AS Monaco will keep 10% sell on clause.
Omar Richards has gone through a lot while on loan at Olympiacos from Nottingham Forest during a gruelling recovery process.
Yet during his rare appearances Richards showed that at full fitness he can even offer more than starting LB Francisco Ortega.
Undeniable talent

Αμα ο Ρίτσαρντς έχει ξεπεράσει τα θέματα τραυματισμού του, πρέπει να ξεκινάει και αν μπορέσουμε να τον πάρουμε άλλο 1 χρόνο δανεικό δεν έλεγα όχι.
