“Postecoglou could be the least effective Premier League manager ever”
Well looking at the stats that may be true, but the damage was done before AP turned-up at Forest. The problem at Forest is
the players shattered morale, last season those same players proved they could beat anyone. For me the problem at Forest is a overbearing interfering owner who rewarded those players who gave everything last season and who missed CL football by a single point in their first PL season by sacking their inspirational manager Nuno Espírito Santo in the most humiliating way possible. People talk about managers, tactics, player’s effort and abilities but once a teams morale is broken, any manager will tell you, it’s extremely difficult repairing it especially when the person who broke it is still there every week crushing it even further.
Getafe v Real Madrid is Sunday’s late game in La Liga, a local derby. Sid Lowe spoke to Abu Kamara, once of Hull.

Let’s hope Jack Wilshere lasts a bit longer at Luton, though he had a tough start on Saturday.
Our reaction to that Postecoglou news.
Preamble
Good morning, football. Saturday was a red letter day in Premier League history, Ange Postecoglou biting the dust in record time. Things move pretty fast at Nottingham Forest so we await news of Evangelos Maranakis’ next move.
We’ll also build up to Tottenham v Aston Villa, the 2pm kick-off, and Liverpool v Manchester United at 4.30pm.
Join us. And do let us know your thoughts and plans. Perhaps fears in the case of Forest fans.
