Former European Cup winners Nottingham Forest have had turbulent times. Two years after returning to the Premier League, the club is the surprise team of the season – and has an owner who is as ambitious as he is spirited.
Where better for heroic stories to take place than in Nottingham, where Robin Hood is revered like nowhere else? The city with the famous Nottingham Castle is considered the home of the legendary outlaw. According to legend, Robin Hood once fought against tyranny in nearby Sherwood Forest, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. And now the city has another attraction in addition to the castle and archers: the Nottingham Forest Football Club, which has long disappeared from the scene, is suddenly in fifth place in the Premier League table after eleven match days, level on points with third-placed Chelsea FC and fourth-placed Arsenal FC. On Saturday, Forest play the top game at Arsenal. The constellation looks so unreal, as if the medieval Robin Hood were suddenly standing in front of you.
