Will Nuno Espirito Santo's press conference be box office viewing again?

Nuno's two previous pre-match press conferences have been explosive. It is rare for him to be so open.

In four years at Wolves you could count on one hand the amount of times he really opened up or revealed any serious frustrations.

Twice in two weeks has has openly questioned the club's transfer policy and then, last week, cast doubt over his own position by saying his relationship with the owner had deteriorated.

Suggestions of a fallout with Edu, Forest's global head of football, are said to be the root of the issue.

On Friday Nuno faces the media before Sunday's visit of West Ham. He is still in his job but the doubts over his position remain.

He only signed a new three-year contract in June after taking Forest back into Europe for the first time in 30 years after last season's excellent seventh-place finish - with the club finding out their Europa League opponents just before the press conference.

Nuno has laid the foundations Forest had been looking for for decades but it may now be someone else who will build on them if relationships are not repaired.
