Nottingham Forest is facing choppy waters just a few weeks into the season, as owner Evangelos Marinakis is reportedly becoming increasingly displeased with the team’s lackluster performance. Rumors are swirling that Marinakis is already considering potential replacements, with former Premier League manager Graham Potter among the shock options being explored.
Since taking over at Forest, Ange Postecoglou has struggled to secure any wins, leaving Marinakis regretting his decision to replace Nuno Espírito Santo. The team’s downward spiral in the league standings has only served to worsen Marinakis’ frustration.
Meanwhile, Potter, who was recently sacked by West Ham United, is being considered as a potential solution to Forest’s woes. Despite his mixed track record, sources suggest that Marinakis sees Potter as a potential emergency fix due to his availability.
Marinakis has a history of making quick decisions when it comes to managerial changes, and the repercussions of replacing Nuno are beginning to haunt him. The current situation at Forest is not solely due to a string of bad results, but rather a combination of high expectations, a restless owner, and poor performance.
It may be too early to predict Postecoglou’s departure, but the signs are there – shaky results, an impatient owner, and viable replacement options. Should Potter be given the chance, he would have the opportunity to redeem himself after his underwhelming stint at West Ham.
