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.
