Acknowledging the pressure that comes with managing at a high level, Postecoglou urged Nottingham Forest supporters to provide him with the necessary time and support to lead the team. Brimming with determination and resolve, he highlighted his successful track record of guiding clubs to victory, firmly stating his belief in attaining success at Nottingham Forest.
