May 25 Nottingham Forest face massive summer after surviving chaotic season
Nottingham Forest have already turned their attention to next season after the curtain came down the 2025/26 Premier League campaign with a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth.
Matt Davies is joined by Greg Mitchell, Michael Temple and former Reds midfielder Lewis McGugan to reflect on the last 10 months and look ahead to the summer as Forest look to keep key men Morgan Gibbs-White and Neco Williams after Murillo signed a new contract. They will also hope to keep Elliot Anderson but that could prove impossible given the interest in the England international. #nffc #nottinghamforest

Fans also made their opinion of Tuchel with their chants.
