History

Historical Context

In 2021, the English Football League implemented a salary cap to enhance financial stability among clubs, amid rising financial pressures. Nottingham Forest, currently 17th in the Premier League, appointed Vitor Pereira as their fourth manager of the season, following Sean Dyche's brief 114-day tenure. This managerial instability reflects the urgent need to avoid relegation, a fate that cost clubs £1.5 billion in losses during the 2020-21 season.
