Overview
- Oliver Glasner said he feels “100% supported” by owner Evangelos Marinakis when speaking at a long press conference on Thursday.
- Nottingham Forest sit 18th in the Premier League with six points and one win after eight league games, leaving short-term form a pressing issue.
- Opta and Understat place Forest well above their league position on expected-goals and expected-points metrics, a key argument used by the club to press for patience.
- Chief football officer George Syrianos has outlined a data-led recruitment plan and reportedly told supporters’ representatives he would back Glasner even in the event of relegation.
- Immediate pressure is heightened by a run of tough fixtures — Brentford, Manchester City, Bournemouth and Chelsea — plus fitness doubts over Nicolas Domínguez and Dan Ndoye, while Marinakis’s recent pattern of rapid managerial changes keeps Glasner’s job precarious.
