Alious“Marinakis Loses Patience!” Ange Postecoglou on the Brink as Nottingham Forest Owner Considers SHOCK U-TURN After Nightmare Start
Ange Postecoglou’s Nottingham Forest reign could be coming to a swift and brutal end, with Evangelos Marinakis reportedly ready to pull the plug after a disastrous start to life at The City Ground.
The Australian boss — appointed less than four weeks ago to replace Nuno Espirito Santo — has endured a nightmare opening spell, **failing to win any of his first six matches across all competitions**. Thursday night’s 3–2 Europa League home defeat to FC Midtjylland proved a tipping point, as furious Forest fans chanted *“you’re getting sacked in the morning”* and booed the team off the pitch.
According to **The Telegraph**, Marinakis is “deeply concerned” about the club’s form and is now **considering a shock U-turn** on Postecoglou’s appointment. The Forest owner is expected to consult chief football officer Ross Wilson and newly appointed global head of football Edu Gaspar before making a final decision — but time is running out.
Sunday’s Premier League clash with **Newcastle United** is said to be decisive. Another poor display could trigger Postecoglou’s dismissal before the international break.
Postecoglou’s short tenure has brought just **two draws and four defeats**, beginning with a humbling 3–0 loss at Arsenal, followed by elimination from the Carabao Cup at the hands of Swansea. While battling stalemates against Burnley and Real Betis hinted at progress, back-to-back home defeats to Sunderland and Midtjylland have reignited crisis talk.
Speaking after the club’s first European home loss in 29 years, a visibly frustrated Postecoglou admitted his side lacked the fight required:
> “Really disappointing. We conceded poor goals again — moments where we didn’t show the same desire and determination as the opposition.”
Adding to the intrigue, **former Spurs chairman Daniel Levy** recently revealed to *The Overlap* that Postecoglou’s Tottenham exit was “data-driven” despite him delivering a European trophy.
For Forest, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Marinakis now faces a defining choice — **stick with Postecoglou’s project or make a ruthless early call** to rescue a season already spiralling out of control.
