Summary

Anderson Likely Leaves

Vitor Pereira said Nottingham Forest’s failure to qualify for Europe after finishing 16th makes Elliot Anderson’s departure likely.
He praised Anderson and Morgan Gibbs-White as players and said he wants to keep them because retaining talent is vital for goals and a stronger side.
He warned that changing the squad each season undermines consistency, hampers progress, and that the club cannot control the market but aims to keep core players.
