Ange Postecoglou Responds Calmly to Nottingham Forest Fans’ Chants

Nottingham Forest manager Ange Postecoglou has addressed fans’ chants calling for his dismissal after a disappointing run of results. He insists he is focused on turning things around for the club.

WHAT HAPPENED?

During Nottingham Forest’s latest match, home supporters voiced their frustration by chanting “you’re getting sacked in the morning” towards their manager.

Postecoglou responded after the game, saying, “The fans are disappointed, they’re entitled to have an opinion. Nothing surprises me anymore, guess it’s the climate we’re in. Nothing I can control, my responsibility lies with getting wins.” His statement shows acceptance of fans’ frustration and keeps the focus on his responsibility: getting results on the pitch.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST’S STRUGGLES

Nottingham Forest have endured a rough start under Postecoglou. Since his appointment in September 2025, Forest have lost to Arsenal, suffered defeat against Swansea, and drawn matches against Burnley and Real Betis, despite leading in all three games.

The team currently sits near the bottom of the Premier League table, with just two points from four league matches. Forest face pressure to move up in the standings, trailing closely behind other struggling teams. This season, they aim to avoid relegation and improve their league standing, as the club recently parted ways with former coach Nuno Espirito Santo due to growing tensions.

WHAT COMES NEXT FOR FOREST?

The next match for Nottingham Forest is against Newcastle, who sit just above Forest in the table this season with one more point.

It is a Premier League fixture with significant importance, as only one point separate Forest, Newcastle, and the teams around them in the bottom half. A win would help Forest climb out of the relegation zone and boost morale. Both teams look to improve their recent form, making the fixture important for the futures of players and manager alike. Postecoglou has confidently stated that he aims to win trophies with Nottingham Forest, underscoring the critical nature of the upcoming matches for his tenure.
