Africa-Press – Lesotho. There was no escape for Ange Postecoglou.
After watching Nick Woltemade put Newcastle United 2-0 up from the spot, the Nottingham Forest manager was informed he was going to be “sacked in the morning” by home fans at St James’ Park.
Postecoglou has now failed to win any of his first seven games in all competitions since taking charge last month.
Forest have conceded an average of more than two goals per match in that time.
Though it is still early days of the campaign, the club – who qualified for Europe last season – are just a point above the relegation zone.
Perhaps, then, it is not a surprise that Postecoglou “expects” to have a discussion with owner Evangelos Marinakis and the Forest hierarchy about “what we have embarked on here, where we are at and what we are going to do”.
“If people want to make an assessment after three and a half weeks, after we have had seven games, there’s nothing I can do about that,” he said.
“At the same time, there’s nothing wrong with things being tough. I did have an option – I could have been sitting on the couch watching the game and not be in the middle of it.
“I’d much rather be here. I love a fight.”
