Nuno Espirito Santo's relationship with Nottingham Forest global head of football Edu 'potentially irreparable' as details of fallout with Evangelos Marinakis emerge

Following a dramatic day the the City Ground where boss Nuno revealed his relationship with club owner Angelos Marinakis had collapsed, further revelations have been revealed byThe Athletic involving Forest's global head of football Edu. The relationship is described as 'potentially irreparable' and 'personal, deeply personal.' As it stands it is Nuno who looks most likely to leave with the club looking at potential replacements.

There are politics at play, regarding player procurement, and the subsequent power struggle is being played out in front of a stunned watching public. The next few days and Sunday's clash with Crystal Palace will be vital to what happens next for the Portuguese boss. 

Nuno said: "I always had a very good relationship with the owner - last season we were very close and spoke on a daily basis. This season it is not so well (between us) but I always believe that dialogue is important because my concern is the squad and the season we have ahead of us. Our relationship has changed and we are not as close. I think everyone at the club should be together but this is not the reality."

All parties will be relieved to return to the normality of playing football again on Sunday when they face Palace. But the public nature - and obvious anger of Nuno during the press conference - suggests this one will not end well.
