Yet there are few free agents who meet Forest\u2019s requirements \u2013 experience in Europe\u2019s top-five leagues, and in top level European competition.

You know sometimes as a manager you go into a football club or you get a job because it\u2019s a mess whereas it\u2019s quite different with Ange going in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey had a really successful season for Forest last season and they\u2019ve got some really talented players.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot won a game yet and they were pretty poor. Everything\u2019s so built around Chris Wood.
