TA wrote an article about Postkoglu's coaching career at Nottingham Forest. He set a record for the second shortest official head coaching tenure in Premier League history with 39 days. Australia's failure stemmed from a series of fatal flaws that existed from the beginning, ultimately leading to a mess entirely of the club's own making.

It is understood that after several team meetings in the early days of Postkoglu taking office, some players felt that the new coach showed "some disdain" for the achievements they made under Nuno last season (including qualifying for the European war, double defeat of Manchester United, etc.).

Although this may not have been his intention, it undoubtedly planted the seeds of estrangement between the generals, which was exactly the same as Clough's start at Leeds United. The rift quickly became public in the second game. In the League Cup, Forest led 2-0 but were reversed by the Championship team Swansea. According to people who were near the visiting team's locker room at the time, Postkoglu gave the players a "hairdryer" rant after the game.

This approach may not be wise when the team has only been coaching for two games and the players are still reviewing the new coach. In addition, he completely changed the team's training model. His training sessions were said to be "far more demanding in terms of physical confrontation than during Nuno's time", and the initial ball training content was less, which made some players who were accustomed to a fixed model feel uncomfortable.

However, Postkoglu's failure was not an isolated incident, and there were already divisions within the club. According to reports, former coach Nuno could not hide his "disillusionment" at the end of the season. He first publicly criticized the club's transfer policy, and then revealed that his relationship with owner Marinakis was deteriorating.

Nuno's decision to create "two sets of starting lineups" in order to cope with the dual battles at home and in Europe also broke the delicate balance within the team last season and led to an unbalanced mentality among some players. The loss of dressing room charisma has been equally fatal: Ilanga, described as the "band leader", moved to Newcastle leaving a huge void, while another influential player, Ola Aina, will be out injured for a long time.

The mentality of Gibbs White, the core of the team, is also questionable. It is said that he had expected to play in the Champions League this season, and his ideal next home was Manchester City. The failure of this expectation is suspected to be one of the reasons why he was unable to perform last season.

The article finally pointed the finger at the management, saying that the appointment of Postkoglu itself was an "unnecessary risk." The article questioned why the club's senior management ignored his record 22 league defeats at Tottenham last season and the possible injury risks caused by his high-intensity training methods.

In the end, when the team slipped to the edge of the relegation zone, owner Marinakis was forced to take action, but this chaos entirely caused by the club itself is turning a promising season into a tragedy.
