We asked for your views on how Nottingham Forest's managerial rotation impacts the team. A little lower down this page you'll find comments from Andros Townsend, who has questioned if Vitor Pereira will be Forest's last managerial switch this season.
Here are some of your comments:
Dave: It's no coincidence that Forest's success over the past few years has seen relative stability in terms of managers, just Stevie and Nuno. It seems like we're returning to the chaos that got us stranded in the Championship in the first place.
Kris: In the modern game the head coach model has diminished the influence managers once had over players. However, they're still human and we're all programmed to seek stability and structure. This many changes will affect them, some more than others, but you would hope the fear of relegation is a strong enough motivator to perform. But, it's always the hope that kills you!
Tony: I really hope the new manager can do well. But it isn't just the player power he is up against. The person behind this season's turmoil needs to take some responsibility for the destruction of team moral, tactics and the fan base dissolution. This is a situation we should never have been in.
Peter: I think Marinakis is clueless when it comes to appointing a manager. His current track record supports this view, four managers so far!! How does he think this impacts on the players? It is desperately unsettling for them. Every appointee will bring their own 'style' and the players have to take this on board. Ridiculous springs to mind. Ultimately he will do untold damage to the club but will, no doubt, blame everyone except himself.
Rude: Postecoglou did the damage and we're still trying to recover. Forest have a decent squad but consistent interference and meddling from Edu does not help anyone.
Shaun: Nuno got himself sacked. Of course all managers prefer to get players in early, but publicly moaning about it was not the way to do it. Ange should not have been signed as he was still holding resentment about how Spurs treated him and had no interest in being the Forest manager. Dyche got a manager bounce but showed his inability to adapt tactics to get the best out of the best set of players he had the chance to manage. Vitor needs to be given the rest of the season - then judge him from there as to him taking us forward. Of course the quality of manager available and if they would be willing to join us also holds sway to whether we hire another manger in the summer. I wish Vitor the best of luck while he is at Forest.
