Bugger off ya Aussie bastard

It would be like every other time with Marinakis. They sort out the replacement and then announce the sacking - probably don’t make a final decision on the sacking until they are confident they can get an acceptable replacement.

I'm a wizard with PowerPoint. Happy to have a go at running Forest but I suspect you wouldn't like it too much.

Billiez used to quite like doing a PowerPoint didn't they?

Natay-lie.

Although I guess the exception to this would be if they went for someone already employed - would look even more off if they sacked Postecoglou and announced Silva on the same morning.

Should we open a sweepstake on which of the next French PM or Postecoglu has the longer shelf life?

I am firmly in the "be decisive early" camp on this occasion - mostly because the biggest thing we have to address (apart from visibly plummeting confidence) is the defence, and I am struggling to think of any manager in world football less suited to fixing a leaky defence than Todd's mate. [OK, maybe Russell Martin, but that would be a tight competition (and one that I fervently hope remains entirely hypothetical)].

However, I think it's more likely that Marinakis will give him until the November international break, not least because removing AP amounts to a massive admission that they got this one majorly wrong (and by "they" I basically mean "he"). Personally I think that simply gives more time for morale to sink / confusion to grow among the players, and in-fighting to spread among the fans. Not a good combo.

What a different a few weeks make, eh?

Let's go for Edin Terzic. The Bundesliga is cool, he has reached a CL final, and has elements of the better aspects of Ange but with added pragmatism of Nuno.

Go early, go Dyche!

It's good for engagement, we can't sign any shiny new players for MONTHS - so we can fill the gap with shiny new managers

I hate the idea of ditching a manager so quickly but having given this more thought and also listened to yesterday's Forest Focus, I'm reluctantly in the do it now camp. I can't see him turning it round and, even if he did for a game or two, the doubts and anger would resurface immediately. It's when not if, for me. Sadly, the when is now.

That's what seems to be what is coming out of the club - Ange is gone as soon as a replacement is lined up.
They want Marco Silva from Fulham, but he has an £8m release clause. However, it expires at the end of the season, so weighing up whether to activate it now, stick with Ange until the end of the season (or longer if he comes good), get someone else in to end of the season, or get someone else in long-term.

Pay it. Get him in now.

Is it like a player transfer fee so could amortise over length of contract?

Pay £8m, keep him for a month and amortise it up to £100m?

Dyche is there for nowt.
