Don't have access to the article. He was doing a good job and the fans seemed happy with him. Forest fans liked him a lot. A crazy owner doesn't change that if that was the case. Although I think me and him are cut fromt he same cloth. We both love a good sacking. |

It was on a cold October morning at Nottingham Forest’s training ground when the first real signs of turbulence surfaced over Aitor Karanka’s future as manager. A pre-scheduled visit from Evangelos Marinakis, the club’s Greek owner, included a meeting with Karanka and his players, in which a stark message was relayed. That message was effectively “promotion or nothing,” according to defender Jack Robinson after the 1-1 draw at Leeds. It was probably not an ultimatum, but after a mammoth recruitment drive over the summer, with 17 players signed and £23 million spent, Marinakis was unhappy with Forest’s start and spelled it out that a dramatic improvement was required. Since that meeting, Karanka has won only four Championship games – taking the total to nine victories from 26 – so perhaps his departure is not the surprise many people outside of Nottingham will probably conclude. There are other statistics, too, which explain why Forest are now searching for their ninth permanent manager in six years. They are only seven points better off than this stage last season, despite such a drastic revamp of the squad which included the record £13.2m signing of Portuguese midfielder Joao Carvalho. In the summer there was a broad agreement that Karanka needed to be in the play-off places by January 1, yet today they are 7th in the Championship and four points off the top six. Karanka, unquestionably, will feel he has been harshly treated. Fans will be unhappy and neutrals will think it's another case of trigger-happy owners. He signed a two-and-a-half year contract in January last year and there has been definite progress under the Spaniard. Living in an apartment close to the banks of the River Trent, he fully bought into the history and traditions of the former European Cup winners. During his final weeks in charge, he was dignified and remained respectful to the club. Yet behind the scenes there were problems that extended beyond results. |

How was he doing a good job if he didn't have Forest firmly in the play off places when that was the clubs expected goal? Given that Forest had spent an absolute fortune during the summer between transfer fees and on wages. They were extremely inconsistent under Karanka, you only have to look at his time in charge of Boro when he got them promoted that his sides aren't known for playing a swashbuckling brand of football.

Thanks. Reply as above. How far will this hoofball and pack the defence tactic bring MON and his outlaws?

Actually, large parts of the exclusion zone are not necessary and the restrictions on significant areas are being removed or lessened. The exclusion zone is much like O'Neill's tactics so: from the 1980's, previously seemed to be a no-man's land, but may have been unfairly judged and might actually be productive. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-47227767

One place outside the playoffs is hardly a disaster now is it? Read the Forest forum and see hat they made of him. On a side note their record signing carvalho never gets picked by the anti football merchant.

In the league, Forest under O'Neill have scored more goals in the 7 games he's been in charge than in Karanka's last 7 games in charge.

Unlikely, as Ukraine only produces about 1.3% of the world's apples.

Good. 1 goal better. I take it all back. Ace coach MON and his free scoring starlets. In other news. I have had more Weetabix in the last week than I had in the previous 2 months.

Lets face it your argument was lost when you had 2/3 points wrong in your intial stick beating. You then waffle on trying to get away from the actual facts? The simple fact is O'Neill's anti football has come up with more goals and points, than what Karanka could muster in his last 7 games in charge.

Sky showed a stat tonight that shows how they are regressing performance wise already under MON from under Karanka. Down in all categories. Possession, passes, passing accuracy, etc.. All markedly down. They will be even worse after tonights performance. 38% at home. They are now averaging 40% possession per game after tonight. Down from 53% under Karanka. You can get a win playing sh*te but you wont consistently win playing sh*te. Of course the climate change deniers will state that you can lose playing well. Of course if you play consistently well you will do a lot better over the medium and long term. |
