7 d. ago Postecoglou enters talks intent on keeping job at Nottingham Forest

Defeat at Newcastle is his seventh match without a win‘You have to be up for the fight and the struggle’Ange Postecoglou is determined to convince Nottingham Forest’s board to retain faith in his ­managerial ­philosophy when he holds talks with the club’s owner, Evangelos ­Marinakis, this week.The Australian was in defiant, almost jocular form after Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at Newcastle. It extended the manager’s winless run to seven games since he succeeded Nuno Espírito Santo last month. Yet Postecoglou, who unusually started with a back five, detected signs of progress as he prepared for vital talks with directors to discuss the future. “Yes, it’s a lost cause,” he said, sarcastically. “I see it as an exciting opportunity. You have to be up for the fight and the struggle. I’d be silly to be sitting here at the age of 60 if I lacked self-belief or fight. Even in the schoolyard I picked fights with people that beat me up.” Continue reading...

2 w. ago Antony swoops late for Betis to deny Nottingham Forest on European return

Already for Ange Postecoglou it feels like an interminable wait. Just as it seemed he would record his first victory as Nottingham Forest manager in a competition he won last season, Antony levelled for Real Betis to kill the impending party. Igor Jesus scored twice as Forest recovered from Cédric Bakambu’s opener and hit the woodwork in pursuit of a first-half hat-trick but the former Manchester United winger, derided in some quarters after struggling in the Premier League, struck a 85th-minute equaliser. Compared to last Wednesday’s capitulation in altogether different surroundings at Swansea, this was nothing – the Championship club scored in the 93rd and 97th minute to earn a comeback Carabao Cup victory – but it was a galling finish all the same.Forest under Postecoglou have so far been a double-edged proposition but the overriding feeling for the travelling supporters at the final whistle – about 5,000 travelled to Seville, 3,385 were stationed up in the gods in the away end –...

2 w. ago ‘Expected goals is a clueless development’: Martin O’Neill on the changing world of management

Northern Irishman on how he was sacked by Forest, the role of data in football and not getting the England jobOver the past few weeks Martin O’Neill’s memories of a Friday afternoon in June 2019 have risen up with fresh clarity. This month Nuno Espírito Santo was sacked as the manager of Nottingham Forest by the club’s owner, Evangelos Marinakis, in a scenario that echoed O’Neill’s fate six years previously.O’Neill had meant so much to Forest fans after his key role as a player in the club’s greatest period in their history, winning the league and then successive European Cups under Brian Clough in 1979 and 1980. But the 73‑year‑old is too intelligent to overplay the comparison to Nuno. O’Neill’s final managerial post, at Forest, lasted 19 games, while Nuno achieved huge progress in his 21 months in charge. Forest were serious contenders for Champions League qualification until the final weeks of last season. Continue reading...
