This is my mindset at the moment, right or wrong, I feel a lot better about things and may help others who feel disillusioned with AK, I hope it helps, it has helped me, I just hope the essence will prove true ....
I felt probably as despondent as you, in fact I personally felt so disillusioned about him back in January, after beating Wolves then losing in the cup to Hull, I put together a torrid poisonous torrent of abuse about AK.
Feeling it unfair to any person or human being, I called it Karankerism.
I had hallucinations about Karankerism (collectively a full on amalgamation of: revolving door, cheque book, shitt on the academy, dour, negative, seemingly cowardly tactics and poor communication) also as it wasn't and hasn't started working I became like a rabid rottweiller purist on acid. I wheeled all the statistics out 11 wins in his last 55 games or whatever. I would fight and argue and throw insults at anyone and everyone ... I got banned from a forum I had been posting on for 4 years ... maybe justifiably so.
But I was hurting and depressed and I guess I liked the argument though and couldn't really respect anyone who bought into what we seemingly have now.
Let me share this with you ... everything will be ok, that doesn't automatically mean to start planning your trip to Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge just yet.
NFFC has the most powerful heritage in this league and more powerful than most of the teams in the PL and has the owner and resources (eg Olympiakos) to get to the PL and stay there
I don't want to be to unfair on Karanka, but he is a puppet, he either re-metamorphisees into the awesome manager he can be results wise or he will be gone, at the moment he is miles away from being a good manager and even further from having the strength of results to put more positive, offensive, exciting, Forest values into the squad.
I was hoping on match days for Karankerism to crash and burn every match day and it usually has happened ...
... but now I have changed my mind, I know it will all come together, with or without Karanka, probably without, but if he can accept a kick up his ass and eat some humble pie and grow a pair he could have a future ..
I think Marinakis will tell him what he has to do now, Marinakis is helping him and supporting him to the hilt
I am not a fan of the tycoon, making huge piles of profit, but I am incredibly confident that Marinakis invested in NFFC because of our heritage and that he knows we can be incredibly successful, he can sell more shirts around the world to Forest fans than Brentford shirts or Bournemouth shirts or even Olympiakos shirts
In Athens it is either Olympiakos or AEK, Marinakis is playing on the biggest stage in Greece, it is related to their politics, culture and everything
He bought Nottingham Forest for a reason, not Millwall or Southend, these are nothing and always will be nothing in the scheme of things
Nottingham Forest has the most unique heritage, the most zero to hero story, it has huge appeal and even bigger potential.
A good manager, decent, loyal to players, fans, ways of playing isn't what Forest needed now but will in the future.
For the time being it is cheque book and revolving door to get things done quicker which means more mistakes, more players, more seeming disappointment but .... I am convinced now it is the quickest and Marinakis doesn't want to be hanging around, he is brutal but for NFFC in a good way.
Marinakis knows what Forest fans want, everything and he is the best we could of hoped for in many ways.
