Nottingham Forest is considering sacking Nuno Espírito Santo.

Tensions between the ownership and the Portuguese coach, also stemming from certain signings during this transfer window.


This had better be nonsense but he’s called a lot of things correctly this window. I did think that interview from Nuno was strange.

It was strange because it's not like him but it wasn't wrong. Or not at the time it was recorded anyway - obviously the squad is much stronger now.
Why give him a 3 year deal and sack him, doesnt sit right

Could of went cheaper

Left wolves after a fall out? Mutual consent?

Nuno Espírito-Santo may, in fact, have his days numbered at Nottingham Forest - the situation is being evaluated internally.

The English have Paulo Fonseca on a list that includes some coaches, in case of NES's departure (EXCL).

After a season that completely exceeded expectations, NES may leave Forest - to be continued.

I know EM likes Postecoglou who is available and Glasner, who doesn’t seem happy with Palace’s transfer window but it still feels like a stretch to sack Nuno after our best season for years

Its too late now managers don't like moving in season.

Surely we're not going to trash our best position in 30 odd years by doing something stupid, right?

Also, I've seen two Spurs games since Ange went and suddenly they looked an organised and coherent side. Ange would be a horrifyingly bad appointment.

It's a brave piece and one that will probably make him very rich with the amount of clicks it will get.

But he is playing a dangerous game writing that in my opinion.

How would he know such a thing?

Who fed him?

I am suspicious.
Panic on the streets of Croydon, Derby, Sheffield, Leicestershire.

Fonseca, Lyon manager. That’ll calm down the conspiracy theorists wont it?

Big ange maybe if this is true?

The interview he did was weird. But since then, we’ve done incredible business.

Plus the performance on Sunday (especially the 1st half), was sensational.

Early days of course, but everything’s looking better than I ever could have imagined.

Surely we won’t risk all of that now?

I don’t want to even think about this.

Ruined my mood.

The mere thought of Ange taking over is making me angry.

You have to wonder if this was a story from just after that interview which has only surfaced now.

Or maybe EM didn’t like the interview and there’s been a fall out since?

I would say this is rubbish but that interview still gets me. For someone as careful as Nuno it didn’t sound right. We signed 4 players since in the space of a few days and he must have known they were on their way, so why was he so downbeat?
The quote said “stemming from certain signings” implies he isn’t happy with who we did or didn’t get.
Hopefully this is just rehashing old news for clicks.

Wonder if he has a break/clause in his deal that he can be sacked /leave for half the pay out? Or something daft
