It’s like watching David Brent own a football club…

Marinatedfatass strikes again.

 

A circus can change its clowns, it will still be a circus.

And the inevitable, glorious and hilarious collapse begins. 

 

Grab the popcorn motherfvckers. The hate watch is so on.

They don’t have the players for it.

Perfect day to be working in Nottingham. God bless Mr Marinakis.

Watching their fans take lumps out of another as they decline exactly like we did should be pure box office.

 

Some will think they're Real Madrid hitting some bad luck and the other half will think they would be Real Madrid without Marinakis.

Normally they wouldn’t stay for quarter of a century, ultimately Levy hired and fired and controlled the transfer budget. So yes in this case correct imo to wonder what that legacy was. 

I am sure the family who own 87% of Spurs will be surprised to hear that Levy was controlling the transfer budget.  Lets be clear, if we have misaligned with them he would not have lasted that long.

Mr Marinakis, I was loved by the fans. I know I haven’t had a sniff of job elsewhere but I still live in the area

Enter Agent Poisonous Dwarf

 

The problem is, nobody is sure who he’s working for. Most probably himself

They’ll end up with Ange, Mourinho or Rodgers

PSR probably makes sure of that. Nuno only signed a three year contract extension in June, no doubt after a big pay rise after rumours circulated of Roma wanting to take him. If they're paying off Nuno on essentially three years AND paying a compensation package to a club for their manager, it's basically European qualification or bust.

 

Fine if you're one of the big clubs who expect Europe every season, not so if you're a medium sized club who've qualified for Europe once in 30 years.

 

There's also the question with Glasner and Iraola of why they'd go there given they're very secure in their current positions with squads they've built and how they'll perceive working for Marinakis. If Nuno can take them from nailed-on relegation with a points deduction to Europe in a year and still get sacked, they could be taking on huge risk to go to a club who've realistically peaked.

[AjcW]

Looking forward to Nuno being a big success in his next job.

What in work manager is looking at some of the shit Marinakas has done (coming on the pitch after our game) along with sacking the manager who's delivered their best season in 30 years and thinking yeah I'll jump ship to join them

There's a reason his managers at Olympiakos generally appear to be through a certain agent and fit a similar background

They won't. 

 

Forest will go for someone unemployed for two reasons. One, no sane employed manager will want the job for the reasons you've stated. Two, the compensation package they'd have to pay for any employed manager worth his salt shafts their PSR figures.

 

EDIT: Make that three reasons. The third being to fit in with the fanbase.

If it's not Ange, it will be someone of Edu's and Kia's choosing. They are firmly in with the preferred agents type signing/scouting now.

[Trent Steel]

Ah Jabba you've made my day... thank you sir! "Big Ange" ready to take over.....

Florist fans trying to play it down saying maybe it was best Nuno went , is no big deal, etc, etc

 

 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Can't wait to see that Notts Forest backline playing this:

 

[UniFox21]

Ange is an interesting appointment 

[The Bear]

He might get one or two results early doors but the players will soon get sick of his "style" of running them into the ground.
