What happened
MMA journalist Ariel Helwani took to social media to call Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis the best owner in the Premier League. The post, punctuated with a Greek flag emoji, comes as Forest have surged following a difficult winless run earlier in the year.
Why it matters
The endorsement from a high-profile combat sports voice spotlights Marinakis's stewardship at a time when Forest's form has shifted dramatically. Owner reputation in the Premier League is a recurring fan and media debate, and Marinakis's investment-heavy approach at Forest has drawn both praise and scrutiny.
What to watch
Watch whether Forest can sustain their unbeaten run through the remainder of the Premier League campaign. Continued results would further validate Marinakis's ownership profile heading into the summer transfer window.
