Hope he will be at the last game of the season on Sunday.

If we are doing that then we should really be renaming the International Space Station.

EM was watching the Olympiacos basketball team triumph in the Euroleague Final4 semifinal earlier today, in Athens, along with Mendilibar. The final is on Sunday, at 9pm our time, and it's the equivalent of the CL final in European basketball, so a huge game for the club. But only 1hr after the final Forest game of the season ends. Wonder where he'll be. Even via private jet, I doubt he gets back to Athens in time.

That call to sack Dyche and bring in VP was something very few owners would have done, and it saved our season. Yes he was instrumental in the original shit show, but we are very lucky with EM, right?

I guess it's knowing when to stick and when to twist.

We HATE the Villa
We are, but it's funny the perception from people down here in London
Whenever I'm out and about in my Forest shirt and get talking to someone about Forest they always say something along the lines of "oh but you must hate that crazy owner of yours?"
Needless to say I always set them straight

Or keep twisting until it sticks.

They would all take him at their clubs
Osiris
We HATE the Villa
Absolutely they would
It's just interesting that the perception from outside is that Forest fans don't like him, when I would for the vast majority of us the opposite is true
The media have a large part to play in that, I suspect

The media have a massive part to play. They all like to write about the man who 'bullies his way into things' in Greece and the like, but, fail, at the same time, to note, that the community engagement that he has done, and at the same time, encouraged the players and staff to take part in, has been quite unlike anything I've seen at the club in a long time.
He said that a football/sporting club needs to be at the centre of a community, and, Forest is now doing that sort of thing. Yeah, theres fantastic staff within those areas of the club that work really hard, but, you get the feeling that the energy for that comes from the top down.

I think it says more about us than others to be honest. We like EM solely because the club has progressed under him. Outsiders aren't invested in that at Forest and will focus on other factors.

I can safely say that, as a public personality, I don't like EM. As an owner though, he has been brilliant for Forest and has done well for Oly too.
As a City Council member of Piraeus, very meh.

European final vs. meaningless match: a no brainer. He was at the basketball game, where he celebrated a European cup by engaging into a fist fight with the nephew of our prime minister, a very shady guy who basically ran the government until he had to step down due to an illegal wire-tapping scandal. The two men exchanged not very polite words, the security detail of both men got involved, and the result was that EM's t-shirt got torn. There are pictures, but they are not very flattering (he has gained weight again).EM was watching the Olympiacos basketball team triumph in the Euroleague Final4 semifinal earlier today, in Athens, along with Mendilibar.
