“You would think either of Villa or Forest if they get to the final would win it given the opposition, and then it will be dependent on whether Olympiacos are in the mix or not. “We’ll just have to see what conversations took place with Uefa before 1 March, and whether they were given any comfort that as long as they did certain things by 1 March, they would be fine to process the change once the owners’ and directors’ test had passed, which didn’t occur until 17 April.” How Nottingham Forest missed Uefa’s multi-club deadlineBorson insisted Forest will be unable to argue the filings for the blind trust were in place before the 1 March deadline.

“The filings are pretty clear that they took effect in mid-April, so I don’t think that they will have an argument that it all took place on 1 March. Forest are confident, but the first thing they’ve got to do anyway is win the Europa League.”
