He has stuck his neck out and said a few things
1. Sabri is staying
2. It will be a fairly big overhaul of the playing staff rather than a few tweaks and they want more mental toughness which is likely to be more experienced players not a load of untried youngsters.
There are young men who are mentally tough, and experienced pro's that aren't. Getting up and coming players is critical to our future, we need players that will go up in value. But it means that the recruitment team have to do their homework to get the right characters not just playing talent; looking into the man, not just stats or highlights or occasionally watching him.

Its pretty clear that this is an official press briefing and this is a decision from the top that Sabri stays. They are hardly going to put an announcement on the club website “Nottingham Forest have decided NOT to sack their manager”.
Without wishing to sound like a broken record I am still sceptical.
Is Sabri about to lose his two favourite players Watson and Grabban?
I think in all fairness, we are resigned to losing Watson anyway, irrespective of what we offer him. He wants to be nearer to London and his family, which is fair enough and QPR have already dangled a two year contract under his nose.
I just hope that, should he accept it, they play him in a less favourable position and he returns to the shite he was the season before last! :D
Besides, we can always get Colback to replace him, so all is not lost

Wasn't Watson on record as saying he was waiting to see if Sabri signed a new contract before committing to his? He said something like "yeah, we're getting it sorted now Sabri's going to be here next year". It might have been a radio interview, cant remember.

Yeah! I remember him saying that Pap. I still wouldnt be surprised though if he did move back down south.

the new stand, i'd forgotten all about that, it's the beauty of it, always multi tiered levels of lamentation to reflect on, obsess about for a while and then completely forget, months, years later as your asking yourself why was that last minute equaliser so incredibly depressing, fleetingly thinking, ''well i was actually enjoying that game'', then the goal makes sense, it just means no play offs, no PL, dismantled squad, sacked manager, no new stand, new owner, don't wear the polo shirt for a while syndrome

Could do with getting Chris Fairclough back as well after that Swansea showing.

It could be an interesting week ahead. I just hope that something happens and we see some positive changes made somewhere down the line.

Will Sabri really want to stay if Worrall, Cash, Watson and Grabban all leave as rumoured.
I am not so sure he will.

To be fair not many would want the job if those four were to leave.
