Overview

• Postecoglou is winless in seven games since his September appointment (two draws, five defeats), including a 2-0 loss at Newcastle that left Forest a point above the relegation zone.
• Forest are reported to be unlikely to sack him during the international break, with Postecoglou saying he expects talks with Marinakis about the team’s direction.
• Recruitment planning is under way according to multiple reports, with Fulham’s Marco Silva touted as a preferred long‑term target and names such as Graham Potter and Rafael Benítez linked for a potential short‑term solution.
• Fan unrest has been visible, including chants for his dismissal during the Midtjylland defeat, while prominent voices like Wayne Rooney, Chris Sutton and Stuart Pearce have urged patience and criticized the treatment of the manager.
• Mick Brown has suggested some players are disillusioned by constant changes, and coverage points to the upcoming home game against Chelsea and a Europa League tie with Porto as key markers for Postecoglou’s prospects.
