According to Moreto, Garland's joining Nottingham Forest failed because the forest owner temporarily repents.

Moreto wrote: "A comprehensive agreement was reached between Atletico Madrid and Nottingham Forest for Garland's transfer. The two clubs remained in touch all day yesterday and were committed to finalizing the agreement, with only the final signing. The same was true for the players, everything was ready and the contract was ready. "

" However, without obvious reasons, no shortage of time, and all parties had agreed, the Nottingham Forest's boss finally decided not to fulfill his promise."
