Nuno

Are we sure this isn't fake news chaps?

It's just that red hot #ITK Sniff, who has a direct line to Marinakis and his people, told is that Nuno was on his way out after the Leicester game.

Hmm...

Intriguing.

SA.
 
Nice and all.

But can anyone remember a manager for Forest that ran down their contract and left against our wishes?

It doesn't happen really. And if someone wants Nuno, and he wants them, he will go no matter what the contract says.

Will increase our compensation I suppose, but also increase the compensation we owe Nuno if and when Marinakis gets in his head to sack him.

So, yeah great. But a bit of a nothing burger as well to be honest.

The timing of new manager contracts can be important.
Cooper's new contract after the big Leicester loss was a stroke of genius on EM's part.
It might be that this settles things down for the Summer, it just cuts out a little bit of uncertainty anyone might be feeling.

Its not a huge thing, but it can make a difference i guess.

I can't remember a manager at Forest who ran down their contract, or even left at the end of the contract. In fact, it is extremely rare in the Premier League and English football generally. I think the last person to do that was David Moyes at West Ham United, and he did not leave against West Ham's wishes- quite the opposite, they did not renew his contract. In fact, for the stats hungry among us, it would be interesting to know when any club had a manager run down their contract and refuse to sign a new one.

Exactly.

I don't think anyone particularly worried that Nuno was going to suddenly leave, and even if Roma did come in for him, he would go whether it was the old contract or the new.

I would expect about 90% of manager- club relationships end in a sacking anyway.

From our point of view I don't think this actually changes anything. Maybe it's the difference between £5m compensation and £10m but I doubt it goes much higher than that.

Good for Nuno though, of course, and he does deserve it.

As a fan though, I can't get as excited as the twitter timeline seems to be. It doesn't really change anything.

Give me a new contract for MGW, that would be a game changer. Not sure we'll see that though

Do you think the new contract for Nuno might be something that MGW wants if he's going to stay?
Nuno is a successful manager and MGW wants to be in a successful team, after all.
I could see it having some effect, just the peace of mind that things aren't going to be chaotic all season?

Mind you, I'm under no illusions if we find ourselves fighting relegation somehow Nuno will be gone.

It will surely be a boost when it comes to players signing extensions to their contracts; you would think it will be a big positive for Aina and CHO, and maybe it will give MGW the incentive to sit down and discuss an extension.

Its a fair point.

Unlike a player the club no longer wishes to retain (Dennis, Sosa, Omabamidele, Danilo etc etc) a club can sack/pay-off a manager.

So, yeah, a bit of extra compo, if barcelona etc came calling, but not a hill of difference between him signing or not extending to 2028.
