You say a different, more successful long term.
I don't see how we could possibly have that.
What you are gambling on is a manager that gets up first try without losing a few games in a row.
Every time we lose some games the search for a new manager starts.
We now have a manager that got us our best league position in years, who has a whole new team to gel together. Let him at least try. There was even hints at some attacking football yesterday, after a bad start.
Honestly if the next manager can't achieve the playoffs, or at least 7th, this year then we have changed manager for a worse outcome. Who's going to accept that?
If we finish 10th this year will you be calling for the next manager's head next Summer? Of course you will.
If a 7th place finish, given where we were the season before, is not enough for you, nothing will be except undefeated promotion first time. Lamouchi has shown he can perform in the Championship, he showed it last year, and he has a whole new team. Give him time.
I'm not going to be coy here, I blame this exact attitude for the situation Forest are in, for us being a team that no good, respected UK manager would touch with a barge pole.
Managers talk to each other you know. MON knows alot of people in the game, for example. You think anyone who's managed us in the last 10 years would say this is a good club to manage? Would they fuck. The toxic negativity, impatience, and expectation that we should be a Champions League club from the fans makes Forest poison for managers.
There was clearly more to the MON thing than just results.
But while I respect the points you are making to a degree, I don't agree in this case.
For a start, had SL not lost all five of his competitive games this season we wouldn't be having this conversation.
If we had made a fight of them it might be a different conversation. But we didnt; we made a fight of one of them, when we were already two goals down at home.
Had we had even a degree of footballing competence this season so far, we would all be happy to let this manager who finished 7th have another go at it.
But there are several reasons why people aren't, and fickleness or impatience aren't among them
1) the deep concerns about the jettisoning of any discernable strategy or style of play, as outlined in my last post
2) the alarming long term drop in form stretching back to the Charlton defeat in February; we won three more games all season, amounting to 3 wins in 20 games. That is relegation form over a long period of time. Were it repeated across just one regular season, the team in question would be extremely fortunate to avoid a late escape scenario. Sorry, Sabri isn't worth it
3) transfer strategy, which he is not responsible for but is significantly directed by what he says he needs.
That has seen us sign how many defensive midfielders now? Four? How many defenders? Five?.
How many attacking players (given that breaking teams down and getting goals was our issue last year)?
Fewer, and matched by departures.
Aside from this being a bad idea, you would expect a team that has signed around 9 new defensive players to be capable of basic defending. Even if they don't know each other yet. The goals we are conceding aren't very hard.
4) the scar of Stoke is clearly a huge mill around the club's neck. Sabri has clearly dealt with this exceptionally poorly. He says they have talked about it once. His strategy seems to be to get rid of everyone involved, rather than show some leadership in actually excising the wound. A good manager could turn that around and use it as a motivator. Sabri has let it fester into gangrene
There is absolutely no point in persisting with the wrong man, and I would ask you to explain what you have seen that makes you believe this manager can coach a team to be a better attacking force? Especially when haven't scored anything other than a set piece or a long range worldie in ages
