Sky Sports: And over to Nikki who’s at the City Ground with new Forest boss Ange Postecoglou

Nikki: I’m actually here with Forest President Evangelous Maranakis. Unfortunately Ange isn’t here for his first interview following the 6-1 defeat to Woolwich.

Maranakis: Good afternoon Nikki, you can call me Mr Maranakis or the President

Nikki: ok so the first question that everybody is asking is what’s happened to Ange, Mr President Maranskis?

Maranakis: no nothing Nikki, he unfortunately suffered a slight injury when leaving the pitch at full time and he’s currently on his way to my private underground facility

Nikki: ok but it seems you two had a heated conversation at full time and

Maranakis: no Nikki we have a very good relationship and I was giving him my full support whilst also removing a cist from his leg with a boning knife
 
Calling the Europa League a lesser trophy is not belittling it. It is a lesser trophy. The elite European competition is the Champions League, the EL is for teams that couldn’t reach that level. So by definition it is a lesser trophy.

Winning it was still a great achievement for a club of our stature but let’s not pretend we had to beat anyone good. With the exception of Frankfurt every team we played in the knockouts would be a relegation contender in the PL.

Ok.
All I know is we won a massive trophy

It’s weird you felt the need to respond to a level headed fellow fan literally saying unarguable facts with this. You realise he’s not a gooner in the pub, right?

It is lesser as it isn’t the top tier European competition, and we did have an easy run of it. So you can love Ange for it all you want, I’ll go ahead and sidestep it. Cheers.
 
I don’t dislike Forest. Marikanis doesn’t seem to be great, tho - and does he genuinely believe that Ange is going to do better with Forest’ squad than ours? He clearly doesn’t actually understand how football works. He got lucky with Nuno and now he’s here. He’s like Levy post-Poch but without hiring actual proven higher-level coaches.

Oh, well - I wouldn’t want to be a Forest fan - after all those years in other divisions and then Marinakis and now this…

Christ!
 
They'll be playing 2 games a week, with the exception of a few off weeks due to international breaks, all the way until the new year. In fact on some occasions they'll have less than 48 hours between games.

It'll be quite a test of his squad management skills.
