The curse of losing to West Ham strikes again.

How many managers have been sacked now after losing to West Ham? Rodgers, Nuno, there must be so many more!

A bloke that won the Europa while you maintain we should be careful what we wish for because we got rid of a bloke that won the conference 
Fair point but l just can't see it working out for Forest
They will struggle with number of European games as well  as new system of play 
Our Conference win had drop-downs from the Europa. Tottenham wouldn't have got anywhere near it under the same rules. It's no coincidence they won something the very first year the rules changed.
They didn't win the conference they won the Europa so didn't need them to drop down, surely nobody thinks we didn't have weaker opposition than they did, we did.

If Sullivan wants to placate the fans for a bit then sack Potter and do everything to bring Nuno in.  The Forest win has just papered over the cracks, this weekend it will be back to business as usual.

It's a bit of a catch 22 and sometimes in two minds about it. When it works where everyone's on the same page, it can work and I also think it can work without someone overseeing it if they are good at managing. It's when it all goes to absolute shit because either the manager or structure in place isn't good enough. 

I'd prefer a decent manager to mostly be in control, say an Eddie Howe as a modern example of it with less meddling rather than a set-up where it's constant interference and the manager has little input or control.

Financially maybe but on the pitch it becomes a risky game as it's the manager that has to work with them all the time and believe in the players they're having to work with.
 
 
I disagree respectfully. The Director of Football role was and is about the club's general ethos and sustainability. In olden days, you bring a manager in and he will have his views and opinions and can go his own way with the players he wants and it all goes tits up.... The club sack him and then have to clear up the mess made. And often at huge financial cost to rebuild the squad for the next man. Having a DOF, allows a club to maintain an ethos, style or vision under which any new manager / coach has to fit into. It means that the clubs recruitment of managers / coaches and players has to be absolutely spot on, which is why under Sullivan it hasn't worked because recruitment ay West Ham is woeful. And It doesn't always work at other clubs. But its more like the real world where if you get a job you fit into your new companies vision and strategy. 

Just my thoughts.

Was reading that Nuno & Edu didn’t get on at all stemming from an Edu comment when they first met
Edu closely associated with our old mate Joorabchian as well
Edu was making the choices … Nuno wanted Adama Traore from Fulham not £37m Omari Hutchinson and didn’t want Douglas Luiz

Chutney Ferret's team Spurs also sacked their manager after winning (luckily) a European trophy.

The Europa with no Champions league drop downs was very poor
Shown by the finalists being Tottenham & Man Utd which resulted in a final that you wouldn’t have stopped to watch if you were walking your dog on Hackney Marshes.
Ditto the Conference with no Europa league rejects

He wanted a football club - Sullivan wanted a casino.

He wants success - Sullivan wants some silly-bollocks to come along and pay his asking price for the club.

Thanks to UEFA changing the rules, both the Conference and the Europa League are now much easier to win (not like when we were in them). They are clearly hoping the Aussie fraud gets lucky twice.

Definitely. I'll be interested to see how the players adapt to such a big change in philosophy as well from sitting back and breaking to 'Ange ball' assuming he's going to try and make them play that way immediately. They are pretty young and energetic so it might not be that much of a problem, but unless their centre backs are rapid they could find themselves getting done on the break pretty often. The pace of Van Der Ven got spurs out of a lot of bad situations under Ange which would have been punished more regularly if there wasn't a lightning quick centre back there. Similar to the reasons we kept getting murdered on the break under Lop.

Big Ange vs Potter

I doubt you'll you'll all revisit what you're saying now in a couple of months. Their fans will enjoy going over there from now, that's for sure.
