Pereira's future and laying the groundwork for success

[BBC] [Getty Images] We asked you to send in your Nottingham Forest questions for our reporter Nick Mashiter. In the first part of a special Q&A, he focuses on manager's Vitor Pereira's future at the City Ground and why the club need a quiet season in the dugout. Neil asked: Should Forest fans already be feeling a little uneasy about the uncertainty around the lack of contract stability with the current manager? Nick: I understand if supporters may feel a little nervous over Pereira's contract situation - especially after the revolving door of managers last season - but there is no need. Both Pereira and the club are relaxed about the situation and he still has a year left on his current deal. It is recognised that pausing talks - which had been quite far advanced - is a risk for Pereira if Forest do not start well but all parties remained committed. As it stands, all being well, it should be sorted towards the end of the year.

Somebody like Marco Silva, who worked previously for Evangelos Marinakis? Nick: I wouldn't read into it too much as there are reasons and all parties remain relaxed about it. Of course it leaves the situation open to speculation, but we should see some progress towards the end of the year. After last season, and what felt like constant turnover of managers, supporters can be forgiven for wondering if Forest will make more changes but there is a real desire to see this one stick. It's boring, and the owner and Vitor Pereira would demand more, but Forest could do with a season of anonymity to settle and lay some solid foundations again. Since being promoted it has been pretty tumultuous - five managers, battling relegation, challenging for Champions League qualification and back to a relegation scrap, all while juggling European commitments. Please don't misunderstand me - fans will never regret the Europa League trips and run to the semis with Forest back in Europe was special - but to have a quiet season may lay the groundwork for more consistent success. Keep across this page for parts two, three and four of Nick's Q&A, which will look at subjects including summer transfer plans, whether James McAtee will step up next season and why the stadium redevelopment is taking so long.
