Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis was reportedly left unimpressed by his side’s draw with Wolves at the weekend.
Forest performed well against one of their relegation rivals, taking a first half lead with a goal from the impressive Brennan Johnson. Wolves did not overly trouble the Reds backline but secured a late equaliser at the City Ground when Daniel Podence fired home seven minutes from time.
It was a game that should have seen Forest end their run of six outings without a win. Ultimately, it proved to be two points dropped and leaves Forest sitting perilously close to the bottom three.
Prior to the match, a report from The Telegraph had suggested that failure to beat Wolves would place manager Steve Cooper in “real trouble” .

Marinakis was in attendance on Saturday and Forest fans responded to suggestions that Cooper was under pressure by showing their love for the Welshman . However, Marinakis’ reported reaction at the final whistle has fuelled doubts over Cooper’s future.
The Daily Mail’s Tom Collomosse claims Forest’s owner was left “angry” and “frustrated” by the result, speaking to the players himself after the game. Cooper's future is said to be in the balance, with the report refusing to rule out Marinakis choosing to take a “huge risk” by sacking his manager with 10 games remaining.
This update arrived shortly before relegation rivals Leicester City opted to part company with Brendan Rodgers after finding themselves 19th in the table following defeat at Crystal Palace. Forest and West Ham are now the only two clubs in the nine-team battle for survival to have stuck by their managers since the beginning of the season.
Forest will hope that they can begin to reverse their fortunes with a successful trip to Leeds on Tuesday before taking on Aston Villa at Villa Park next Saturday, April 8.
