Defiant Forest Boss Insists 'Allow Me Chance' Amid Scrutiny
Ange Postecoglou remains without a single one of his seven matches after taking over from the previous manager last month
Under-fire boss the Forest head coach presented a passionate explanation about his career as he vowed to secure silverware with the club if given time
The veteran coach faces scrutiny having been unable to triumph in none of his initial seven fixtures since replacing Nuno Espirito Santo in September
The club has been reviewing their options during the international break, with ex-Burnley boss Sean Dyche a potential option reviewed as an alternative although the current manager only being appointed for just 38 days
The team welcomes Chelsea on Saturday while Postecoglou delivered a five-minute monologue in his match preview media briefing, with the team 17th in England's top flight
"Many observers concentrate on the problems yet I notice at what is growing," he said, "I am really excited since I work with a team of developing footballers ready to evolve"
He also confirmed he hadn't communicated with the club's owner the Greek businessman during the international break
"I don't intend to use my time regarding external perceptions" he added
"I genuinely don't match, not just at Forest, across the board" he elaborated
Tottenham Experience
"I took over the North London club and was told by the chairman during that period 'this team needs to claim honors'"
"He stated 'we endeavored to appoint proven winners, the Portuguese coach and the former Chelsea boss and it hasn't worked, we must have a different approach'"
"I was slightly offended by that as I view myself as successful"
Explaining His Results
"We finished fifth during my debut season" he remembered
"On each occasion Harry Kane found the net I often thought he had remained for another season as it would have proven beneficial to retain him following our fifth-place finish"
"But somehow that year has disappeared from the record books" he argued
Looking Forward
"Thus, we reach the present situation in which there exists another perspective to share, that maybe I'm not a disappointing tactician who was lucky to get this job"
"but possibly I'm a leader that when allowed opportunity, the story always ends the same"
"At all my previous clubs, the outcome is identical - through my leadership and a trophy"
Postecoglou won the Europa League this year - the club's initial honor in nearly two decades along with their initial continental honor for 41
Previous Scottish champion also promised, provided with patience, he would persist with his track record of winning trophies everywhere he has managed
