    It’s good they’ve not gone for some generic young foreign manager with trendy clothes nobody will remember after an inevitable disappointing eight months. The game needs characters. Pulis would do a job.

    Pulis is too busy with cringe adverts with Fatty Bung Man and sleazoid Pardew these days. We've thankfully got away from most of that cycle of struggling teams in the relegation zone automatically going for those knackers.

    Good news for teams fighting against relegation. Ange isn’t suited to managing in the premier league, same as Amorim at Man Utd. They’ve only got one style and stick to it regardless. You need more than that to do well in the top league these days.

    Has Marionknacker given any explanation as to why he's sacked a manager that worked a minor miracle?

    Can't wait to see how Murillo defends a whole half of the football pitch by himself.
    Was funny watching Van Der Ven try it, last season.
    Also gonna be funny to watch how Chris Wood handles carrying out the Ange press with his practically zero acceleration.

    Just baffled how a team built on defensive organisation and counter attacking is going to cope with the Gung Ho Suicide press and high line of Ange <laugh>
    I am actually struggling to think of a manager who is more Anti-thetical in terms of style than Nuno.

    He can win the FA cup and league cup double for all I care… as long as he finishes in the bottom 3.

    Yeah strange decision from the fat Greek. He hasn’t the players at Forest that suit his style.

    Surely if he wanted to change manager he could have done it a month ago and at least given Ange the chance to buy some players that suit his style, for as gash as I think Ange is, he has been set up to fail from the get go......
    "Here Ange, here is a complete squad of players who play nothing like your style, quite the opposite infact. Also you are expected to match the success of the previous manager who kept them up in their first season after promotion, then the following season nearly got them into the champions league.....now off ya scoot"
    It just aint gonna work is it.
