OK Not seen the OG interview or his statement, I just want him gone! I have a clear head and I know when someone is taking the pith! OG came to the WFCG to take them down and get a huge pay off!
Has he had a secret meeting with Nuno?
OG has stabbed the fan base and the club in the back, so that is a stackable offence!

I rarely post on the board, but like everyone else, feel strongly (to put it mildly) about where we find ourselves. With so many changes, eventually you stop getting instinctive football. You get hesitation, and at Premier League speed half a second looks like laziness, poor concentration or lack of commitment. Some are just not at the standard required.

Pereira hadn't proved he was the long-term answer, but he'd certainly earned the chance to start this season. Marinakis' impatience denied him that, and he has to own his part in the almighty mess that has followed.

Our players aren't passengers either. They're privileged to have an opportunity most can only dream of and need to adapt, fight and play with their hearts on their sleeves.

Equally, management isn't about forcing yet another formation on a squad simply because it worked somewhere else. "Zero compromises, buy in or leave” is concerning. Demand standards, absolutely, but understand the players you inherited, their strengths and weaknesses, and adapt your football to get the best from them. Responsibility for where Forest are now doesn't sit in one place. It runs from the boardroom to the dugout, to the pitch.

Go back further to our Messiahs, Clough and Taylor. They later acknowledged they broke up that great European Cup winning side too quickly. Different era, opposite end of the table and very different circumstances, of course, but there's still a lesson in it. Change isn't automatically progress. Sometimes the answer isn't another manager, rushed recruitment, another system or another clear out, it's getting more from what you already have.

For me, another snap decision involving such significant change in manager and philosophy wasn't the answer at all. Our owner got it completely wrong. We should have stayed with what we had at the end of last season and given it the chance it needed to develop.
