RE: Evangelos Marinakis And Co - Salvatore Matrecano - 04-01-2026
Same logic would apply to any head coach, surely?

“Nottingham Forest is proud to announce the appointment of Edu Gaspar as Global Head of Football, a newly established leadership role overseeing football operations.
As Global Head of Football, Edu will oversee all football-related functions, including recruitment, performance, squad strategy, and player development.“
Thing is that he has only been here 5 minutes.
To oversee all that listed above needs much more time.
I would also add that if EM thought that Edu was not doing a good job then he would have no hesitation in dismissing him.
Give him a couple of years before judging him because now is far too early. Granted he hasn't made a great start in his new job but how many of us have been guilty of that? Even the great Brian Clough got off to a terrible start as did Alex Ferguson.
Can we please give him a fair amount of time before having him paraded and hung in the market square.

A head coach is there to coach though.
He is not there to oversee all those things listed above regarding Edu's job.
But I see where you are coming from SM.
Imagine if Clough or Ferguson weren't given time which proves your point.
RE: Evangelos Marinakis And Co - Trailer Park Tom - 04-01-2026
He's done a lot of damage in 5 minutes.
RE: Evangelos Marinakis And Co - Sniffer Dog (Admin) - 04-01-2026
He really hasn't.
He has tried to repair damage done by Nuno but he probably underestimated the task.
Give the guy a break he doesn't deserve it.

Damage done by Nuno?
I accept there's an argument he shouldn't have thrown toys out the pram but that's a new take
RE: Evangelos Marinakis And Co - Sniffer Dog (Admin) - 04-01-2026
Yes damage.
RE: Evangelos Marinakis And Co - ozzyten10 - 04-01-2026
Can’t help but think Nuno really screwed us- stemming from the confrontation on the pitch. Signed a new 3 year deal- then had a preseason which left players unfit - started to demand his own signings and fell out with Edu - without due cause so just played the game of calling out the bosses. Much like maresca did. Uncle jorge has a lot to answer for too!!!
RE: Evangelos Marinakis And Co - Jimmygordon - 04-01-2026
Please list the "He's done a lot of damage in 5 minutes."
We have a recruitment director and team, too, by the way. All see with Pedro Ferreira and George Syrianos is giving it the big one near the tunnel when we win. Think that would be unfair on them to say all they do all day is kiss footballers' backsides.
And what about:
Michael Dugher (Mr Brown Nose)
Jonny Owen
Simon Forster
Are they to blame? And unlike Edu, they are directors of the club.
RE: Evangelos Marinakis And Co - JollyLollyAussie - 04-01-2026
If EM get rid of Dyvche I think he should become Head of football operations, head coach and sign himself as the new CF that we are crying out for! Gets himself a 1st half perfect hatrick (both feet and head) in his first match slides towards the corner flag and is engulfed by all the players and support staff, the rest they say is club history and folklore !!!

As stated above “Edu will oversee all football-related functions, including recruitment, performance, squad strategy, and player development.“
None of those other names have this role. I agree with Sniffer it takes time to do this stuff but for example a clear vision of squad strategy should be in place by now and its far from obvious.

I might be wrong but I’m sure there were plenty of fans who were singing the clubs praises for signing the likes of Bakwa, Kalimuendo, McAtee, Ndoye Luiz etc but now criticising that same activity ?♂️
RE: Evangelos Marinakis And Co - ozzyten10 - 04-01-2026
There is not one signing paper I thought was bad- football isn’t played on paper! Still think some of these players will go on to good things- seen enough of that in the past when they start they look shite and end up being stalwarts- Ben Watson, Lewis grabbed, David Johnson, Sangare, wood… players take time to settle!
