Surprisingly for a newly promoted side, Forest finished in third place, behind Blackburn Rovers and Manchester United: no newly promoted club has achieved as high a finish in the Premier League since, although this achievement was matched by Newcastle United's previous season and six seasons later, Ipswich Town would finish fifth which, to this day, is the highest placing finish a promoted club has achieved since.Sádecký E.

November 1975 Immunization against Q-fever of naturally infected dairy cows https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1994 Acta Virologica 19 6 486–488 0001-723X 1994 Season summary After achieving promotion back to the FA Premier League at the first attempt, Nottingham Forest continued to succeed after Brian Clough as new manager Frank Clark guided them to a third-place finish and UEFA Cup qualification, giving Forest their first European campaign of the post-Heysel era. Never out of the top-six throughout the season, Forest a title challenge in the first quarter of the season, finding themselves in 2nd. However, they couldn't keep up the title push, winning just five out of 20 league games but an unbeaten run of nine wins in their final 12 league games during Spring saw them finish third, 12 points adrift of champions Blackburn Rovers. Striker Stan Collymore was on target 22 times in the league and speculation that he would be on his way to another club proved correct at the end of the season when he sold to Liverpool for a national record fee of £8.4 million. The failure of Clark to buy a proven replacement cast significant doubt over whether Forest could mount a serious challenge for honours in the post-Collymore era.
