Our Sir Alex Ferguson Challenge went well beyond what I expected as we ended up staying at Nottingham Forest for 26 years to play out the career of the great Luís Pereira to its conclusion. In that time, we firmly established Forest as the best team in the world, lifting an absolute armoury of trophies.
These were exciting times at Forest as the board's long-planned vision of a new stadium came to reality. The 61,155-capacity Brian Clough Arena, which has an expansion capacity of 73,703, was officially completed on 26 June 2033 and puts us in a really strong position alongside perfect facilities and a bank balance over £500m for the first time.
The Nottingham Forest takeover of English football had seen our exciting young team rack up four consecutive Premier League titles - a feat the great man Sir Alex Ferguson never achieved at Man UFC - and reach a maiden Champions League Final in 2031.
Nottingham Forest bagged back-to-back Premier League titles as they lifted what was probably one of the worst seasons in terms of quality but certainly delivered final-day excitement. That said, I was worried about a lack of attacking threat, which I prioritised addressing in the summer of 2029.
An exciting May 2026 saw Nottingham Forest win both the FA Cup and the Europa League against fellow English sides. That takes us to a total of three trophies in four seasons, leaving us 35 short of the 38 that Sir Alex Ferguson won with Man UFC. We also now have three seasons to win the Premier League with Forest.
The rapid rise of Nottingham Forest saw us reach the Champions League semi-finals and confirm a 2nd season of European football as we dropped from 4th to 7th on the final day of the 2024/25 campaign. But last season had massively boosted our finances with £86m in the bank.
