These are the top 3 Nottingham Forest challenges on Football Manager 2017

Long-term Premier League ambition

If you’d rather take time and build something at Forest, this challenge might be for you.

Forest were an established side in the top-flight between 1977 and 1993, and on numerous occasions finished near the top of the league.

Your job, over a six-year period, is to re-establish Forest’s position in the Premier League.

Promotion in the first season is not a requirement – you might find it more beneficial to spend time in the Championship developing youngsters and a style of play – but you’ve only got six years to consolidate the club in the top-flight, much in the same way Stoke have in recent times.

However, Stoke have been in the Premier League for nine years now – you’ve only got six to do a similar thing with Forest.
