He now faced the dilemma of whether to continue putting faith in homegrown youth or bolster the squad with additions.
Football Manager 2024 is about two months away and a critical factor affecting the big decision of which team to manage is the players you'll have at your disposal.
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.
