Can't be doing with this.

Not from me you didn’t and I agree unfortunately.

A week of unbelievable transfer business and a great win and now this. WTF!

There must be something else that's happened to upset him

Just what say did Nuno have in the recent singings? Speaking to some guys over here who follow Italian football, they say that Luiz is an absolute disaster for Juve. Disruptive in the dressing room and highly disliked by staff and players alike. Could it be that Nuno didn't want him at any cost but Edu went ahead anyway?
Could be the reason we got such a good deal?
We will see if Nuno plays him..

A bit different, that was when they sold half the team.

Rumour now that Ross Wilson has contacted Brendon Rodgers about replacing Nuno. No idea how reliable the source is.

Guess he’s just being honest to the questions asked of him

Does he need to be in contact with EM every day?

Nuno is here to manager the players he’s given get results and progress us, can that work for EM if they’re not best pals?

As long as results are good I can’t see EM changing especially right now but does seem he won’t need an excuse or won’t wait as long as he did with cooper if we aren’t maintaining the positions we did last season

Would rather have Kenny Rodgers.

That has to be a wind-up

I really hope they can patch things up, they are both good for each other.

This is the BBC transcript for the sake of an accurate discussion. He isnt exactly hiding his opinion.

Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo on relationship with Evangelos Marinakis: "I always had a very good relationship with the owner, last season we were very close and spoke on a daily basis.
"This season it is not so well [between us] but I always believe that dialogue is important because my concern is the squad and the season we have ahead of us. Our relationship has changed and we are not as close."

When asked if it was good his relationship with Evangelos Marinakis had changed, Nuno said: "No, it is not good. I think everybody at the club should be together but this not the reality.

Nuno Espirito Santo on why his relationship with the owner has changed: "I don't know exactly but I'm being honest with you, it is not the same. The reason behind it I do not know. What I said last week or two weeks ago was my concern and why I was worried about where we were going [as a club]."

More from Nuno on Marinakis: "What I said, I said it with respect. The reality is that the relationship is not what is use to be. It was a respectful relationship based on trust and sharing opinions but now it is not so good."

Nuno on whether this situation is inevitable in football: "My job is clear and I think at Forest we are all clear that my job is to manage the team and prepare the team well.
"At the club there are different opinions, I'm someone that says my opinions and then I do my job."

On whether the relationship can continue: "I hope so but I don't know, that I cannot answer. On my side I am doing whatever I can to help Forest, my commitment is something [that I see] and I feel it."

Is Nuno mad?

He must be if he is complaining about our transfers. We have had an outstanding window.

Does he not have the same ambition has EM?

It has been mentioned that signing Luiz wasn't wanted by everyone at the club. Having said that though there were reports in the media over the last few weeks that Nuno really wanted him.
