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.
Sir Alex Ferguson's haul of 38 trophies at Man UFC may have seemed insurmountable when we took control of struggling Nottingham Forest 16 years ago. However, it was suddenly just two successes away after a period of absolute dominance at the Brian Clough Arena.
After 16 seasons at Nottingham Forest, we'd racked up an impressive haul of 33 trophies, leaving us just five short of the tally amassed by Sir Alex Ferguson at Man UFC.
Back-to-back Premier League titles and six in the last seven seasons and seen us well and truly establish Nottingham Forest as the dominant force in English football. But this season's big challenge was to complete the cup, league and European treble that Sir Alex Ferguson managed in his 13th season at Man UFC in our 13th season at Forest.
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.
