However, I would still prefer a British influence somewhere in the structure, not only British but British and actually played the game in England. Don't mean that to sound racisit in any way before anyone starts.
We had Dowling and Metgod at one point but they soon boggered off which I find slightly worrying to be honest. I suspect that the Greek influence was too much for them and they couldn't make themselves heard.
It's not racism. It's not skin colour. It's culture. If the English culture in an English league isn't represented then this season's results are predictable. The Greek owners can't just 'cookie cutter' the solutions from Greece to here. Different culture.
Sure. Run the club professionally for starters. Do better business. Put an actual infrastructure in place to run the club professionally instead of a dysfunctional corner shop.
Warnock hinted at this when he turned down the Forest job. He didn't have anyone 'English' to go to who understood him.
But Fawaz knew better and we're still in this league. Just like all the fans who wanted all the previous managers sacked knew better and we're still in this league.
Ships sink from the top. The current leadership (which has been quite superb in many, many ways off the field...) are just as culpable as Aitor for the current situation.
It's almost a mirror image of last season at this point. Though Martin has actually won games at this point of the season compared to the slide under Aitor with ten signings (thought I understand why Aitor didn't the results is the same reason MoN isn't in the top 6 with Aitor's side.)
Until the leadership accepts it's part in the current malaise, the cycle of destruction will continue on the field. They appointmented Mark, Aitor and Martin.
For god's sake. Let someone stick his contract out.
Comparisons to Steve Bruce and Sheffield Wednesday are mute. They have more in common with Aitor's Boro' when he took them over. They were under performing and had been in the play offs relatively recently.
Forest have been skirting with relegation for at least 3 seasons before this one. You can't keep sacking managers half way through a job when they are 7th in the league.
Much to learn about this league, Marinakis has.
