TA: The game against Chelsea may determine the position of the Australian coach. Forest is considering candidates such as Silva for the new coach.

October 16 News After coaching Nottingham Forest for just one month and without a win in seven games, Forest head coach Postkoglu’s position is in jeopardy. According to TA, the result of this weekend's game between Nottingham Forest and Chelsea may be decisive for his future, and club owner Marinakis is already weighing backup options.

According to sources familiar with Marinakis' working methods, the boss prefers to hire a coach who has Premier League experience and can make an immediate impact. Former Fulham coach Marco Silva is his favorite candidate, but the compensation is expensive; former Burnley coach Sean Dyche, who is currently unemployed, has become an alternative because he does not need compensation.

In terms of players, according to sources close to the team, although the players are sad about the departure of former coach Nuno, this does not mean that they are against Postkoglu. There is more of an uncertain mood within the team. However, the patience of Nottingham Forest fans appears to be wearing thin.

Ticket sales have slowed for the Chelsea and Europa League games against Porto, which is seen as a potentially negative "Postkoglu effect". During Nottingham Forest's 2-3 home defeat to Midtjylland, fans even sang "You (Postkoglu) will be fired tomorrow morning."

Tactical instability also exacerbated the crisis. Postkoglu has never used the same starting lineup in seven games, averaging 5.6 rotations per game. He himself admitted that the team is still in the "exploration period."

In addition, another coaching change will bring serious financial problems. The club had previously reached a termination agreement with Nuno, and Postkoglu's contract was signed until 2027, so the amount of the termination fee will be huge. More importantly, due to participating in the European war, Forest must abide by UEFA's financial rules, and it is estimated that they are already on the verge of violating the rules. Paying a high termination fee again will make the financial situation worse.
