I've had time to reflect on thr frustrations and gotta say for the owners first full season we are doing better than i anticipated. Come next season and with the acceptance of one or two of the better players in our squad sold.. we'll be stronger next season.
One thing i will say is it's time for Sab to show his metal cause if the season does capitulate then he will be a goner.
We were saying this on the way home on Friday. If we do nosedive then its going to be very easy for Marinakis to boot out Sabri, especially as Marco Silva is available.
And not only Marco Silva :dodgy:
He'll have to get top 6. If the target was 'Top 6' for Aitor...'The Coach' will be expected to do no less.
When I see pictures of Marinakis, he doesn't strike me as the guy I'd like to give reasons to for not making the Top 6.
Martin O Neil had an opinion and was a stones throw from the play offs. And club legend Miracle Man. It didn't save him. ie. The 'needing' more time thing.
And? The Coach has had: A pre-season, a battery load of players over Summer and January. He's had more time to coach them over the season. He's almost (unlike most recent Forest managers....) had a whole season from beginning to end. :P
If Forest don't reach the top 6, I don't see the progress on the field that is 'expected' or the brand of football 'conditional press' (which is much of a muchness with Aitor's 'Car Ball' and Martin's transitionary football...)
And a replacement of 'Coach' wouldn't surprise me.
I guess Marinakis going into the dressing room after the Millwall game was a warning.
Sure, the Coach could try apologising for not being top 6...
