We’re only 3 games in for goodness sake, Whoever takes over from Sabri ( his days are clearly numbered sadly) will have inherited one of the best squads in the league.
Talk about biting off the hand that feeds you. The man is bankrolling us with very little income, show some common sense.
Well said Redgirl. Some sense at last.
I dont question the commitment of the owner but I do question priorities.
We have won 3 of the last 19. If this happened at olympiacos the manager would have been sacked... well before now. Why is it different for us? I am grateful for the work done by the ownership off the pitch and the funding of the signings... but it doesnt it right that we are in our current state and sabri gets to continue...
I could understand if it were just the 4 games this season.... but look at our form since january.
Either em needs to pull the trigger or someone working at the club should be being told to.
Sacking managers has been a massive failure for Nottingham Forest. It has weakened us leaving the club with drained resources, unbalanced squads, and increasingly lower league position. EM appointed Sabri last summer just before the season started. We finished 7th our highest position for 7 years. After lockdown the season didn't finish as we had hoped but they were unusual circumstances e.g. no crowds, lost of games in a short space of time. Consensus was we had a weaker squad than our rivals and over relied upon a few individuals who got injured or fatigued e.g. Lolley, Grabban. We have massively strengthened the squad but surely we need to give it some time to gel. Can you not see we are in desperate need if stability after the Fawaz years. In my opinion EM has been a massive improvement. I too don't get the criticism.
Excellent post! Fully agree with what you have said
Yes we need stability... but we are currently showing relegation for and have been since before lockdown.
This crap about no crowds and lots of games was the same for everyone. Yes our squad wasn't as good as leeds and fulham but are you telling me we were worse than barnsley and stoke to name a couple.
I would love to have a manager that was here long term... I still hope sabri can turn it around as he is still the one in charge. However, you cant change the stats. Relegation form. You could say we have 12 new players let them gel... he is still using the same tactics that have failed us since january... formation is irrelevant. I like sabri but, in current form, I want him gone. He shows no signs of changing or making us better or even approaching games differently... however, if he turns it round then great I'll happily admit to being wrong. Again, stats over time and not just 2 or 3 games show he is failing.
And on the subject of em... I do not aim criticism at him. I believe he has done wonders for us. My question was simply why, when current form would get most coaches in the world sacked and especially those in Greece, why is it allowed to continue here.
