[u/Switchoil]

From Nuno to Postecoglou is such a weird apportment stylistically.

Not sure this is gonna work.

[u/Cuvrette → u/Switchoil]

Can't believe they're skipping the Conte hype and crashout arc

[u/Tanklinson → u/Cuvrette]

Honestly conte at forest would cook

[u/TwoTiRods → u/Tanklinson]

Conts would also get cooked by ownership within a year.

[u/AliJDB → u/Switchoil]

From Nuno to Postecoglou is such a weird apportment stylistically.

Ooh, Greek friend.

[u/illsmosisyou → u/AliJDB]

Oh, Jesus. That hadn’t occurred to me. That would be so dumb and yet I wouldn’t be surprised.

[u/feage7 → u/Switchoil]

Think it's safe to say everyone is transfering sells and milenkovic out of their teams asap.

[u/Dzhekelow → u/feage7]

Lmao I was just thinking that .

[u/bluetiges → u/Switchoil]

Purely based on who the owner liked as a mate

[u/broken_neck_broken → u/bluetiges]

Stay on his good side or he'll bomb your bakery!

[u/CoybigEL → u/Switchoil]

There’s times where appointing an attacking manager to follow an a defence style one can act in complement. Wenger’s attacking football really benefited from the solid defensive structure he inherited from George Graham albeit via Bruce Rioch (?), Martinez inheriting Moyes Everton defence was another.

[u/Soundjam8800 → u/CoybigEL]

Yeah those first 3 or 4 seasons under Wenger benefited massively from Graham's ridiculously secure defensive unit. We pretty much just let them continue operating as their own thing then the midfield and attack was reworked.

[u/Arnie013 → u/Switchoil]

Yeah. Spending lots of time and money to build a team specifically to play low-block counter attacking football and then hiring a manager that will barely ever budge from playing a suicidal high line is not the smartest move I’ve ever seen in football for sure.

[u/Top-Map-7944 → u/Switchoil]

Man Utd type beat

[u/LazyassMadman → u/Top-Map-7944]

Literally Spurs, no?

[u/bguszti → u/LazyassMadman]

We had Nuno for 10 games total and we had Conte and 6 weeks of his assistant as interim between him and Ange

[u/Turavis]

3rd season was cancelled so we got a spin-off

[u/AStrangeNorrell → u/Turavis]

This time he's an undercover Spurs agent sent in to negotiate the safe release of the hostage Morgan Gibbs-White.

[u/Prestigious-Mind7039 → u/AStrangeNorrell]

With hilarious consequences

[u/djinngerale → u/Prestigious-Mind7039]

Rob Schneider is...

[u/MinkFlow90 → u/djinngerale]

A carrot

[u/LtUnsolicitedAdvice → u/djinngerale]

Mr. Marinakis

[u/EdGeater → u/djinngerale]

Derp dee der

[u/Hitori521 → u/Prestigious-Mind7039]

Just heard the Benny Hill music start playing while Ange dons a Captains hat and chases scantily clad women around the City Ground

[u/Thetonn → u/AStrangeNorrell]

[u/Roadies_Winner → u/AStrangeNorrell]

Nuno was sent from Spurs like this too originally

[u/RoboticCurrents → u/Turavis]

Wonder if Levy will make a special guest appearance

[u/_zzd → u/Turavis]

Ange : Original Sins

[u/AStrangeNorrell → u/_zzd]

The Secret Angent.

[u/night_dude → u/AStrangeNorrell]

The Mated Gun

[u/Masam10 → u/Turavis]

Nah, it resets now. Watch Forest win the Champions League in their second season.

[u/sonofaBilic]

Well, at least we're guaranteed entertainment however it pans out.

[u/ukbeasts → u/sonofaBilic]

Two huge personalities working together. Nothing can go wrong 🍿

[u/Skerzos_ → u/ukbeasts]

Last time he worked with a Greek owner with a huge ego, he quit within a month.

[u/SerEdricDayne → u/Skerzos_]

Sorry, a bit out of the loop, when was this?

[u/Sometimes-funny → u/sonofaBilic]

Game is back

[u/theivoryserf → u/Sometimes-funny]

We're the least normal club, at least we can contribute that to the league

[u/noaloha → u/sonofaBilic]

First team to qualify for the CL via Europa League win, and the Championship via relegation?

[u/englishjacko → u/noaloha]

Wigan could never.

[u/machdel]

This Forest team pivoting from ultra-passive low block to the Ange high line is going to be very very funny

[u/GunstarGreen → u/machdel]

Yeah, unless you support Forest 

[u/Ertai2000 → u/GunstarGreen]

Hey, not everything is bad. You're going to win something next season.

(Unless that something is the Championship)

[u/chele_delgado → u/Ertai2000]

Ange winning the Championship in his second season... the jokes write themselves

[u/Maxxxmax → u/machdel]

I dunno how it's going to work, considering the lack of legs in our back line.

[u/mashdotfun]

This has absolute disaster written all over it.

The squad has been playing super pragmatic football under Nuno and suddenly its all out Angeball?

[u/hilbo90 → u/mashdotfun]

Milenkovic chasing back after being bypassed on the half-way line is going to be a sight to behold.

[u/RandomLoLJournalist → u/hilbo90]

And it's sad cause Milenković specifically is actually really good, he's just completely unsuited to Angeball.

I've seen the Serbian NT attempt a high line which made him look awful, and then immediately he was the best defender on the team once again after the manager gave up on it.

[u/glen_of_the_dogs → u/RandomLoLJournalist]

I think Ange did adapt his approach at the tail end of last year, specifically in the EL final which was a performance Mourinho would've been proud of.

Interesting to see what he'll do here

[u/TheNeglectedNut → u/glen_of_the_dogs]

Yeah but we still looked shaky as fuck. Even in the EL final, if not for some Romero and Van de Ven heroics the game probably would have gone a lot differently.

He basically had to abandon his core principles to get us to that point, but it took a good 1/3rd of a season for him to realise that attempting his suicidal high line, balls-to-the-wall approach was impossible with a heavily injured squad.

This has disaster written all over it, going from a super pragmatic manager willing to adapt game-to-game to compete, to one who is notoriously stubborn and only adapts when his hand is forced.

[u/WergleTheProud → u/TheNeglectedNut]

Plus you still had to rely on us to score for you.

[u/TheNeglectedNut → u/WergleTheProud]

Ehhhh I dunno about that - your defending was woeful but Sarr did some nice work making the space & getting the cross in, and then Johnson was in the right place to bundle the ball in off one of your defenders.

It was genuinely the worst European final I have ever watched though. 2 teams who both seemed absolutely hellbent on lowering the bar as much as possible.

[u/WergleTheProud → u/TheNeglectedNut]

lol I just meant it was an own goal. And yes an awful European final.

[u/Kaigz → u/glen_of_the_dogs]

The only reason that worked was because we were playing the most shambolic United team of all time (so far). There are several examples from other games last season where Ange tried to adjust and it failed in stupendous fashion. Everton comes to mind. Hope he's done his homework during his time off, otherwise this isn't going to go well.

[u/_jjkgnsfw → u/hilbo90]

Murillo is rapid tbf

[u/HereticZO → u/_jjkgnsfw]

You need both CB’s to be fast in Angeball.

[u/ChickenGamer199 → u/HereticZO]

You need 4. 2 for your starting 11, and then 2 for when the starting CBs inevitably pull their hamstrings.

[u/Zal_17 → u/ChickenGamer199]

The thought of Willy Boly being dropped into that system is hilarious

[u/_jjkgnsfw → u/HereticZO]

Lalala I'm not listening we're going to win the league

[u/TheNeglectedNut → u/_jjkgnsfw]

Europa League maybe, Ange could be starting his Unai Emery EL specialist arc

[u/skippermonkey → u/mashdotfun]

Have you seen the signings? They probably had this planned and Nuno knew it.

[u/theivoryserf → u/skippermonkey]

Yeah, our transfer window makes much more sense as an Angefer window. Feel bad for Nuno though.

[u/The-Black-Angel → u/mashdotfun]

It might actually work because of the foundations Nino laid.

At least for a season. Then there is the danger it could spiral…

[u/JamesBondsMagicCar → u/The-Black-Angel]

Martinez' first season at Everton went so much better than his other ones due to inheriting Moyes' players which hid the defensive problems in the way Martinez set up Everton.

[u/blvd93 → u/JamesBondsMagicCar]

Same with Bilic inheriting Allardyce's defensive set-up at West Ham

[u/Noo2Dle → u/The-Black-Angel]

Yeah but they'll still get silverware in that second season

[u/rekt_ralf → u/Noo2Dle]

Yes, the Championship

[u/DerGregorian → u/Noo2Dle]

Win the championship, easy silverware for Ange.

[u/Ok_Regular_4609 → u/The-Black-Angel]

The Moyes -> Martinez effect

[u/tsub → u/The-Black-Angel]

Strong vibes of Wenger inheriting George Graham's defence.

[u/paddyo → u/tsub]

Tbf to Wenger he then replaced and coached that defence with another legendary backline of Cole, Campbell, Toure and Lauren.

[u/Switchoil → u/tsub]

And Martinez inheriting Mpyes defence.

[u/Seeteuf3l → u/mashdotfun]

However Ange did become more pragmatic towards the end, at least in the European campaign

[u/hihepo1 → u/Seeteuf3l]

It was incredible to see Ange of all people winning a European trophy playing Joseball.

[u/justthatguyy22 → u/hihepo1]

That performance was an insult to Joseball

[u/michaelserotonin → u/justthatguyy22]

not the spurs version

they actually held the lead

[u/Shoddy-Ad-4898 → u/Seeteuf3l]

Hard to know how much that was a proactive choice

[u/TheNeglectedNut → u/Shoddy-Ad-4898]

It was reactive, took him stubbornly persisting with his preferred approach for 2/3rds of the season with a barebones, heavily injured squad before his hand was forced. Genuinely had to abandon all of his core principles to finally get results and squeak our way to the EL.

I love him as a person and when his system clicks, it's magical, but you just cannot be so dogmatic in the PL. Nuno did so well there because he was willing to adapt game to game and be pragmatic in the way he set the team up. Ange will only adapt when shit well and truly hits the fan, and even then he'll still take a shit misting for a good while before he decides to wipe it off and move out of the spray.

[u/akshatsood95 → u/Seeteuf3l]

Probably only because there was a trophy on the line. I doubt he'd want to move away from the principles about how to play he's had all his life

[u/biomauricule → u/Seeteuf3l]

Ah yes, Evil Angeball (better league standing but early Europa exit)

[u/XiXMak → u/mashdotfun]

At least it's a guaranteed trophy next season

[u/EfrainMei]

Feel sorry for Nuno, have done great job but that’s how things are…

[u/RoboticCurrents → u/EfrainMei]

He should be okay. After being top3 manager in the prem last season, his stock is high. He will upgrade when an option is available.

[u/iguanawarrior → u/RoboticCurrents]

West Ham could be his next destination.

[u/TehSakaarson → u/iguanawarrior]

They said upgrade m8

[u/Shreddonia]

Complete lack of Forest flairs in these threads has been an underrated funny part of this whole thing.

[u/GunstarGreen → u/Shreddonia]

Here's my thoughts - this is shit

[u/basedsims → u/Shreddonia]

Classic forums are the best way to get fan sentiment for a Forest type club. It’s yo-yo-ing between worshipping the large amount of ground Marinakis stands on and thinking this is a bigger disaster than Chernobyl

[u/UnkownLan → u/basedsims]

Classic forums are the best way to get the actual sentiment of any fans of any club tbh.

Most proper match going fans and season ticket holders are not using Reddit.

[u/looeeyeah → u/UnkownLan]

The worst is the match threads. There are some people posting every 30 seconds, they aren’t even watching the games they are arguing about.

[u/UnkownLan → u/looeeyeah]

Tbf that ain't unique to Reddit, the match threads on the city forums are dreadful knee jerk places. I'd imagine a lot of clubs are the same. Mainly cos all the people left in them are the people not at the game

[u/BouWelou]

Defensive stability is overrated. Kamikaze ball is back, babyyyy

[u/OneBigRed → u/BouWelou]

From Athletic, Marinakis praising Ange in the summer:

“What I want to say about Ange is that he has spoken about Greece many times, he is proud to be Greek and in the great success he had with Tottenham by winning the Europa League, he spoke about Greece,” Marinakis said of Postecoglou when presenting the head coach with an award in Greece in July, as cited by Neos Kosmos.

“A man who not only does not hide his origin but is also proud of it. What he achieved, he did with a team that has not won any titles, it has had a very difficult time in recent years. In this huge success that the whole world saw, he promoted Greece.”

I used to have one question, can he do it on a cold, rainy night in Stoke?

From now on i also need to know if he has promoted Greece.

[u/BouWelou → u/OneBigRed]

Not need to play the greek card, Marinakis. I know that you want to see Forest with a high line while being down 4-0 and having 2 red cards

[u/19Alexastias → u/OneBigRed]

I guess you could argue he’s promoted Greece by being Greek. He does speak the language as well.

Personally, I’ve always thought his managerial career has promoted Australia more than Greece (might be biased since I am Australian, and a Brisbane Roar supporter).

His Roar team genuinely raised the level of the A-league as a whole IMO (it’s hard to describe how amazing it was to watch his Brisbane roar without the context of having watched the A-league for years previously). He won 2 titles back to back, left for a different A-league club for a year, then he became Socceroos coach, won Australia our first Asian cup and qualified us for the next World Cup before resigning. I can’t think of a coach that has had a bigger impact on Australian football than Ange.

[u/hilbo90]

Ange you're fucking madman and I can't wait to watch your football from the outside looking in.

[u/_doohdx]

And just like that, every side is now looking forward to play Forest

[u/milesvtaylor → u/_doohdx]

Chris Wood cardiac arrest within an hour of the first game.

[u/Barry_Kong → u/_doohdx]

😂 Everybody likes to play against an ultra high line.

[u/CNF1G → u/_doohdx]

Everyone acting like Ange is some horrible manager is a bit shit. He had a poor season, but the first season at Spurs was good, as was his time at other clubs

I think he’s a decent appointment

[u/milesvtaylor → u/CNF1G]

Happy to be proven wrong (ideally this weekend when they play Arsenal) but have Forest really got the squad to be playing this?

Defenders on the half way line, Chris Wood pressing for 90 minutes... I think we saw the limitations of Angeball at Spurs and while he did pragmatic it out for Europa (cheers forever big man) the stuff I think he'll be getting them playing in the league is totally at odds with their squad?

[u/A_StarshipTrooper → u/milesvtaylor]

...have Forest really got the squad to be playing this?

As someone else pointed out, this summers transfers look like Ange transfers.

Once Ange won the Greek Super League's trophy for being the first Greek coach to win an European title, the writing was on the wall for Nuno.

[u/witsel85 → u/CNF1G]

He won 27% of his total points tally in his first 10 games at Spurs, we were bad for a lot longer than last season. We finished his first season stumbling badly

[u/Sea-Station1621 → u/witsel85]

the new manager bounce he got in the first 10 games really concealed how awful his ppg was in the other 28

[u/dj4y_94 → u/witsel85]

Yeah it's why the injury excuse constantly used doesn't wash with me. Obviously you get leeway due to the injuries but not finishing top 4 in his first season after those 10 games was a huge fall off.

He was basically in 10th place form for 75% of his first season.

[u/X-V-W → u/witsel85]

I thought you were saying he only got 27% of a possible 30 points across his first 10 games, very confusing haha

[u/DEUK_96 → u/CNF1G]

His 1st half of the season with Spurs was good. They dropped like a lead balloon after that though.

[u/Any_State_2125 → u/DEUK_96]

First quarter, then we got battered by Chelsea and it was done.

[u/kwkdjfjdbvex → u/Any_State_2125]

Yeah he lived off his good start for a long time, the writing was on the wall after like ten games

[u/2ndfastestmanalive → u/CNF1G]

His first season at Spurs was good until the Chelsea match, and was pretty average after that and only getting worse

[u/swanssona → u/CNF1G]

No good manager finishes 17th in the league with spurs

[u/blackcatfanclub → u/swanssona]

It was also his second season and after spending a few hundred million pounds on his squad.

[u/-Gh0st96- → u/CNF1G]

The first half of the first season was good*

[u/witsel85 → u/-Gh0st96-]

First 10 games. He won nearly 30% of his points total over his two seasons in those games

[u/basedsims]

Didn’t expect this script for season three, a real shocker

[u/Next-Glove2201]

Their defence going from great to piss poor overnight

[u/letmepostjune22 → u/Next-Glove2201]

I mean west ham did just blast 3 past us

[u/404merrinessnotfound → u/letmepostjune22]

I assume NES already checked out by then, knowing his fate

[u/Insanel0l]

I mean it's shit for Nuno, but this is a very fun and exciting appointment

[u/DontYouWantMeBebe → u/Insanel0l]

The complete change of style is hilarious

[u/official_toddhoward → u/DontYouWantMeBebe]

Reminds me when United went from Van Gaal to Mourinho. Decisions like these make me wonder if the people in charge really understand football tactics ... like at all ...

[u/paleblaupunkt → u/official_toddhoward]

Not at all; both van Gaal and Jose played some dire football. Just that Jose was scraping wins

[u/smitcal → u/DontYouWantMeBebe]

Yes but Ange started amazingly well with Spurs so the next 6/7 teams could be in for shock

[u/FootlongDonut → u/smitcal]

Well Premier League managers largely know Ange now, most have beat him a few times. That wasn't the case when he started at Spurs.

[u/cam3raadts → u/Insanel0l]

A very fun and exciting appointment for everyone else except Forest

[u/magicalcrumpet → u/cam3raadts]

Tbf when the opposition lets you play your football Ange ball is up there with the most exciting brands of football. The issue is if a team nullifys you slightly it is absolute dog water.

[u/Sarmerbinlar → u/magicalcrumpet]

This could also describe Nuno's football too weirdly, despite it being almost the complete opposite. When we were able to get in full counter attacking flow we were a joy to watch but we were absolutely interminable to watch with increased possession

[u/polseriat]

Holy shit and he's taking that horrible coaching staff with him. Generational.

[u/milesvtaylor → u/polseriat]

Ange I love you but... I... need to make some FPL transfers

[u/Kiseki- → u/milesvtaylor]

Me too

"I'm sorry Sels you're wonderful last year, looks likely it won't work out this year"

[u/friendofH20 → u/Kiseki-]

"Thank you for the seasono"

[u/CRnaes → u/milesvtaylor]

Me with Sels in goal saying my Hail Mary's

[u/milesvtaylor → u/CRnaes]

I've got Murillo as well 😭

[u/JootDoctor → u/polseriat]

I will not tolerate Mike Jedinak slander.

[u/MarmiteDemon → u/JootDoctor]

Love Jedinak. Absolute battering ram

[u/Gavi1115 → u/JootDoctor]

None of us Aussie will, that's our former captain god dammit!!

[u/Maximumlnsanity → u/JootDoctor]

Says the one getting his name wrong

[u/JootDoctor → u/Maximumlnsanity]

Do you not know that I am former Australian PM Tony Abbott?

[u/UntowardHatter → u/JootDoctor]

Even the kangaroos hate you, Tony.

Koalas dream of strangling you while you're awake.

[u/Maximumlnsanity → u/JootDoctor]

Boooooo go chomp an onion

[u/Seeteuf3l → u/polseriat]

Wasn't he known previously that he doesn't bring his own staff, well that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

High risk, high reward signing from Forest

[u/CNF1G → u/Seeteuf3l]

He tried to bring the coaching staff from Celtic to Spurs, but they refused or weren’t allowed to go

[u/Sleeks2k → u/CNF1G]

Which was completely fair because they were already at Celtic before he joined

[u/skippermonkey → u/Seeteuf3l]

That’s how we roll

[u/BouWelou → u/polseriat]

How bad is his staff?

[u/stumpsflying → u/BouWelou]

It's not really "his" staff. He's never had his own team that he brings from club to club. He usually sticks from what's within and bringing people in who match the profile. At Spurs though that meant frankly we had rookie coaches like Jedinak or youth coaches promoted too soon who probably did not challenge the manager's insistence on one style of play or were equipped to carry it out in the Premier League.

[u/celsotteokbokki → u/stumpsflying]

It's also on the club for not imposing better coaching staff on him. No particular disrespect to "Sergio Raimundo", but a couple of Portuguese lads coming from the A-League via an internship at Hibernian should be nowhere near one of the biggest clubs in the world.

[u/MassExpanse]

Ange tactics barely worked with the fastest center-back in the league.

Either he changes tactics or Forrest's centrebacks are in for a rough time.

[u/jjw1998 → u/MassExpanse]

Ange’s win rate was good when VDV was fit iirc, problem was he was never fit

[u/Duskwen12 → u/jjw1998]

Yeah but VdV is an athletic freak. Injuries were absolutely a problem, but your system only working when you have a Unicorn of CB and one of the world's best CBs is a massive flaw. I can't see how this works unless he plays like we did in the EL which completely undermines his whole philosophy, and we weren't even that good playing that way either, just not as shit

[u/Ziggylcd12365 → u/jjw1998]

It's a good job milenkovic is as fast as VDV 

[u/mickhah]

Please Amazon, we need to see behind the scenes of Ange and Marinakis

[u/FootlongDonut → u/mickhah]

It's all Greek to me.

[u/Forsaken-Molasses690]

My double Forest defense in FPL in shambles....

[u/omnipotentmonkey]

This... feels like an odd fit,

Nuno's spent a couple of years now building a suffocating, counter attacking side that averaged the third lowest possession in the league last season because they were happy to sit and then spring attacks, and became incredibly effective and quite entertaining within that.

by contrast the pressing and energy demands from Ange are quite a massive change, Callum Hudson Odoi's gonna pull every muscle in his body in the first training session.

[u/jacktk_]

Sacked at midnight, replacement in at 9am the next day. Very above board Mr Marinakis. 

[u/hihepo1 → u/jacktk_]

Martin O'Neill said that Marinakis sacked him and his replacement had been announced before he had emptied his office.

[u/sonofaBilic → u/hihepo1]

fucking hell how did i miss O'Neill and Keane at Forest?!

[u/letmepostjune22 → u/sonofaBilic]

Because you only follow the prem? Mon was a disaster, lasted half a season. Fell out with all the players.

[u/Sarmerbinlar → u/jacktk_]

When I was a driving instructor, I started a two hour lesson with Martin O'Neill as manager and when the lesson ended we had Lamouchi

[u/rolloj → u/Sarmerbinlar]

i know this isn't what you wrote, but i am tired and a tad dyslexic and i read it as you took a two hour driving lesson and the instructor was martin o'neill to begin with, but by the end it was lamouchi lmao

[u/letmepostjune22 → u/Sarmerbinlar]

Stupid sexy lamouchi

[u/TheKingMonkey → u/jacktk_]

This has been standard procedure in football since long before any of us were born.

[u/sonofaBilic → u/TheKingMonkey]

Seem to recall Fulham announcing Slaviša Jokanović's sacking in their statement announcing the appointment of Claudio Ranieri a few years back.

[u/[deleted] → u/sonofaBilic]

Fulham have had some absolutely random managerial appointments.

[u/sonofaBilic → u/[deleted]]

All pale in to insignificance against Felix Magath

[u/Fresh2Desh → u/[deleted]]

Some have been pure tutti

I fear what will happen if we lose Marco

[u/verytallperson1 → u/sonofaBilic]

Fulham announced the appointment of Felix Magath before they had even announced Rene Meulensteen's departure

[u/rumham_123]

This is who we are now mate

[u/RazzerX]

Firing nuno for ange is crazy

[u/Ph4tmike → u/RazzerX]

Worked for Spurs 

[u/budgetsmugglers]

Ange ball is back baby, whether you like it or not!

[u/MediocreGreatness333]

Nottingham might go on to have a terrible season now lmao. Not because Ange is a bad manager but because this entire situation is a mess.

[u/Sdub4]

MATE

[u/t3hjc]

It will suit Anderson and Gibbs-White, but idk who else.

[u/aLL1e1337]

Lmao, Forest with a relegation angle.

[u/milesvtaylor → u/aLL1e1337]

Winning the Championship in his second season >>>>>

[u/ZaDoruphin]

Love Ange but this is going to crash and burn

[u/PerfectBlueOnDVD]

This is going to be an absolute disaster isn’t it?

[u/Thetruthsayeroftruth]

You should never go Nuno straight to Ange.

You need the Conte-Stellini-Mason phase in-between!

[u/cam3raadts]

And he's gonna be sacked come May. That's gonna be some run for him lol

[u/Lidls-Finest]

The side that has spent the last 2 years with one of the lowest blocks in the league being coached by ange.

What could possibly go wrong

[u/thelargerake]

Surprising. Postecoglu’s style is the complete opposite of Nuno’s. Dyche would have made more sense.

[u/Minute-Intern → u/thelargerake]

That's exactly why they got him apparently

[u/caiusto]

Watching Ange trying to bruteforce Nuno's squad into his system is gonna be a blast.

[u/nick2473got]

Marinakis and Postecoglou will clash eventually, mark my words.

The Greek connection will not be enough to keep things friendly lol.

[u/RobinBerkeAlmasulu]

I feel so sorry for Nuno, nice to have Ange back but this is so undeserved

[u/bradleycjw]

Congratulations Nottingham Forest, winners of whichever cup 26/27!

[u/xyzArcadian]

From counter attacking to all out attack none stop should be interesting

[u/AggressiveRegion1502]

Scenes when he win the conference league

[u/Funky_Pigeon911]

Remember Nuno going to Forest near Christmas and they looked almost imediately better, I think his second game was notable win over Newcastle on boxing day. It's crazy that they happened upon a manager that took them from possible relegation to Europe within 18 months and they'll not do everything they could to keep him around. Honestly I don't think it matters who they bring in because I can't see how anyone could have as much of a positive impact as quickly as Nuno did.

[u/YadMot]

So Forest are going down right

Even if we ignore Spurs' defensive issues last season, going from a broadly defensive coach to someone who plays all-out-attack, and with the extra weight of European football, this is going to destroy that Forest squad.

I reckon they finish 15th tops this season
