The Manager Sacked/Hired Thread 2023/24

[sycophantia]

Part of me hopes Nuno is reinvigorated just out of love for the man but I can’t want Forest to do well.

Wonder what he’ll do with MGW!

I hope he does well, I'm not that anti Forest, last 2 seasons apart.

From the Guardian.

Forest also held talks with the former Eintracht Frankfurt manager Oliver Glasner, who expressed a willingness to take the job, but Glasner was behind Nuno in the thinking of Forest’s owner, Evangelos Marinakis. Julen Lopetegui was on Forest’s radar but discussions with the former Wolves manager did not progress.

I can't imagine it went much past what wages he wanted and the amount of players he wanted to sign.

Maranakis has a clear track record of signing no bugger at all so I reckon that was it. It probably tripped over when Maranakis said “you will be having all these players I want you to have” when JL asked for control of transfer policy. Not numbers just player choice I suspect.

More a case of "Can you promise me you won't sign 15 players I don't want"

My edit nods sagely and agrees

A good effort with the song there I felt. Clearly never watched Nuno Wolves at our best though.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I guess we'll soon find out if Nuno actually does want a small squad or not. If so then they'll be making 15 players or so available for transfer.

Definitely some players there he won't like, Origi, Yates, Aurier, both keepers.

I quite like Forest, not really bought into he aggro in the last couple years and always had a bit of a soft spot for them. Nuno would be a very good appointment, and reckon it's a really good opportunity to rebuild his reputation

 

[Del Woppio]

that line about Gibbs-White though

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

They have a Mendes link too don't they?

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Can we just give them O’Neil and have Nuno back instead

Better yet, can Forest not just employ Lage?

They nearly did! He turned them down just after we sacked him

 

[Templeton Peck]

Nuno looked shot after covid. Be interested to see if he's still got it.

 

[jd1981]

Not sure how Forest fans think they’ve earned the right to turn their noses up at Nuno, arrogant as fuck.

Strange isn't it how the football fan psyche works? I've followed football for over 60 years and never liked Forest.

It's probably because I'm right and you're wrong

You're getting ahead of yourself again

I guess my attitude towards Forest stems from the Clough days, they had a really good team and a little team like them managed to win the league and European Cup. Sucker for a giant killing me.
