IAKO! – Nottingham Forest are making fools of themselves!
The disastrous end to campaign marks the club’s relegation to the third tier of English football for the first time since the 1994-95 season.
With John Eustace at the helm, the Blues enjoyed a bright start to the season with just three defeats from their first 11 games seeing them as high as fifth in the table.
The positive start appeared to mark the dawn of a new era after American investor Tom Wagner completed a protracted deal in July to assume a significant stake in the club.
The feel good factor continued with NFL legend Tom Brady joining the new regime and becoming a minority investor of the club.
However, cracks began to show after Eustace was controversially dismissed in the October international break to be replaced by former Derby boss Wayne Rooney.
Footage taken from the stands showed numerous incidents between stewards and supporters
Relegation means the club will drop into the third tier for the first time in nearly three decades
After just two wins from 15 Championship games, in January Rooney became the second manager to be dismissed with Steve Spooner, Tony Mowbray and Mark Venus all having short spells in the hot seat in the ensuing weeks.
Gary Rowett rejoined the club as interim boss in March, and while he managed to oversee a slight uptick in fortunes, particularly as the season drew to a close, the damage had already been done and Birmingham were unable to beat the drop.
