There is clearly plenty to discuss, so our football reporter Nick Mashiter will be on hand to answer your questions later this week.

BBC Radio Nottingham's Colin Fray believes there is no cause for concern after contract talks between boss Vitor Pereira and Nottingham Forest were put on hold.

Pereira, who won eight of his 20 games in charge last season, has one-year left on his current contract.

"I am obviously not privy to the contract talks themselves," said Fray. "But from the information I have got, both parties are happy for the current situation to go on.

"As I understand it, these talks ending are not a suggestion that either Forest are unhappy with Vitor Pereira and looking to change again, or Vitor Pereira is unhappy. I don't think either is the case.

"There has been that little bit of interest in Pereira from Al Hilal, but he's not interested in that and has turned that down because he wants to stay at Forest. He's happy at Forest and he can see a future at Forest.

"It's hard to say exactly why they have come to this decision but it does seem both parties are happy with him going into next season on his current contract, which still has a year left to run."

Nottingham Forest have endured - and enjoyed - some thrilling seasons since returning to the Premier League.

From survival to nearly qualifying for the Champions League to another battle against relegation, it has been an adventure.

Few would be forgiven for wanting a quiet season, one of anonymity almost, following the rollercoasters of the last few years.

Given last season's four managers and brush with relegation a comfortable mid-table season would perhaps be a useful and a chance for a the club to take a breath - although that will not be enough for owner Evangelos Marinakis.

Talks over Vitor Pereira's contract have been put on hold but both sides are relaxed and the expectation is they will resume towards the end of the year.

There should not be any speculation surrounding his position come the visit of Leeds on the opening game of the season on 22 August.

But, of course, if wins do not follow in games against Liverpool, Tottenham, Aston Villa and Coventry - before the extended international break in September and October - then it would naturally leave questions over his position - because of the nature of the departures over the past 12 months.

Last season started with a comfortable victory over Brentford but Forest then did not win in the league against until 9 November.

A good start is vital for Pereira himself and Forest overall.

David Jackson and Colin Fray discuss the World Cup, Vitor Pereira's future and the 2026-27 fixtures in the latest episode of BBC Radio Nottingham's Shut Up and Show More Football podcast.
