On today's show we look at Rio Ave, the third club owned by Evangelos Marinakis after he bought 80 percent of the Portuguese top flight team with a vow to invest in a small but proud club which saw the start of current Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo's managerial career. We welcome Albert from the Long Ball Futebol Podcast to discuss his visits to watch the team, its history and the early impressions made by the Marinakis regime. We also discuss the form of three players with Forest connections in Omar Richards, Brandon Aguilera and Jonathan Panzo, who all joined this summer from Forest either on loan or permanently. 🍻 We're grateful for the support of our main sponsors, the Trent Navigation Inn.
