Will Ange Postecoglou still ‘believe in fairies’ at Nottingham Forest? We’re about to find out

Postcoglou and Clough are of course very different men, but personal and philosophically relative souls. Both are good for an offer. Both are warriors, probably too much. Both of them know their roles in the natural romance of the game and playing romantic football to fans by playing romantic football. Magnetic characters that can convince a group of people to be released and give them all.

Postcoglou, a sharp student in the history of football – now approved as Forest’s new manager – there is no doubt that he is determined to reach the stars in the same club in the same way because he is not inspired by Clough on his coaching journey.

Before being very positive, it is worth pointing to the front pits for postercoglou on the return of the Premier League.

Especially there is a big one.

Evangelos Marinakis, the owner of Forest, seems to be a very flammable man. Let’s say there are some ethical concerns when it comes to history. Postcoglou’s predecessor Nuno fell to the public with Espirito Santo and had a registered in both Forest and Olympiacos (one of the other clubs).

There is some Trump-Musk about this union, there is a sacred alliance between two powerful, larger character than life. This can explode in a magnificent way. The first estimates is that it will end with tears – but don’t reduce the likelihood of being happy tears.

Let’s give them some credit here. Marinakis is not blind; He saw everything Tottenham Hotspur’s two -year mission by Postcoglou, from the magnificent start to the last season’s 22 league defeat and the 17th ranks of the league, the most reactionary parts of the British press were completely separated from any sense of context (ie injuries!).

He saw a “suicide” high defense line against Chelsea. He also saw that they had finished fifth in 2023-24. Yes, the latest league campaigns have gushed, but the Poscoglou Spurs has left a platform that Thomas Frank has currently built with its first European cups for decades.

Marinakis will receive personal explanations from Poscoglou about all mitigating conditions. We know exactly what kind of manager he has appointed, and we assume that he’s doing it because he loves everything he brings to the table and wants it for his club.

And Poscoglou should know the man better than most. Perhaps the famous last words, but if someone can domesticate the wild monster with marinakis, he could be. It seems to have close personal relationships. Both of them are proud Greeks in Greece, both of them; If there were actually a few weeks in the construction of this movement, and it would be a zero surprise to make some of Forest’s latest transfer agreements at a stage in this period.

This partly Poscoglou’nun why Brentford, Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli, Los Angeles FC, Fenerbahce and Bayer Leverkusen explained why.

Forest is a club with a new region for postercoglou; Usually it takes over the teams in the fall. Last season, they were seventh in 30 years and they will play in the Europa League despite the right to the conference league due to a curved decision around Crystal Palace and Multi-Club ownership.

But there are things that match the summary.

Marinakis said that Postcoglou asked for help to take the forest from another Premier League to another Premier League and to take it in style. Like poscoglou, Clough, it offers something different: the courage to be stupid.

Difficulty will be the wide and a sudden change against Espirito Santo’s conservative, ball-allergic counter-attack style. Modus Operandi. But this is not exactly a familiar challenge; Espirito Santo was one of the successors of unsuccessful Spurs managers who were brought to break the templates of the templates.

Although Forest’s squad was largely directed towards Nunoball, SPURS had not been signed in some way, like Morgan Gibbs-White, with many abilities that can play in front; Callum Hudson-Oh, Omari Hutchinson and Dan Ndoye, three exciting, explosive wings; The new signature is Douglas Luiz, a multi -faceted perfect midfielder; And Full ridges, Aina and Neco Williams are perfectly fitting to a system that asks them to reversed them.

There are certain parts that certainly do not fit perfectly. For example, Kiwi Striker Chris Wood may not be on the postcoglou to press it to press uninterruptedly. Defenders Murillo and Nikola Milenkovic may not like to walk on the rope. Although the transfer window is still closed, there is a scope to make the necessary changes beyond January and beyond. Unlike Daniel Levy, former President of Tottenham, Marinakis is not Dilely-Dally in the transfer market. If there is a player he wants, he goes and gets.

Forest’s squad is also large, in second and in some cases there are third selection options in almost every position, which is better to compete in many competitions from Spurs last season.

The jokes made at the expense of Postcoglou were broken before the announcement was confirmed. In his second season, he always wins something – so he will fall them and win the title of the British championship next season. When Aina was wounded on Wednesday morning (Aest) after just 10 minutes of action for Nigeria, Postcoglou was accused immediately and the legend of apparently unlucky education methods was immediately raised.

The doubts are already in force, the narrative arc set. However, what they ignore Postcoglou will be a better administrator Tottenham experience. He says he gets something new from each training session, that every job is much less. Those who say that “cannot adapt” now ignore that he is not successfully adapted to football in four different countries, but also adapted to Spurs; The forms of playing in the Europa League were the antithesis of the singular road, which was alleged to have almost dogmatic married.

If this “sexy pragmatism” can synthesize from Europe with its own beliefs, the lessons he learned from last season and the players he has learned – and his ambition can be matched by Marinakis and if they can convince his supporters to go on the next journey, there may be a few before the forest.
