With an end potentially in sight to the club's transfer embargo, a defining summer is nigh for Nottingham Forest as they look for yet another new manager and then seek to provide him with a squad capable of challenging for promotion to the Premier League.
Gus Poyet's name is now officially out of the frame to be the permanent successor to Dougie Freedman with the former Brighton and Sunderland boss having been confirmed as the new head coach of Real Betis.m
Many reports now suggest that Steve Evans could replace his fellow Scot once his expected departure from Leeds United is confirmed.
Naming a new manager will be the starting point for rumours about incoming players although the Reds are already being linked with the likes of Will Grigg from Wigan Athletic.
