Defiant Postecoglou Asserts 'Allow Me Chance' During Criticism
Ange Postecoglou has not won any of his seven games since replacing Nuno Espirito Santo last month
Under-fire manager the Forest head coach offered an emotional justification regarding his track record as he vowed to win honors with the club if given time
The veteran coach is being questioned having been unable to win any of his initial seven fixtures after taking over from the previous boss in September
Forest have been reviewing their options over the pause in fixtures, and former Clarets coach the defensive specialist among the names considered as an alternative although the current manager only being appointed for just 38 days
The team welcomes Chelsea this weekend while Postecoglou gave a five-minute monologue in his match preview news conference, with Forest sitting 17th in England's top flight
"Many observers concentrate at the weeds while I observe at the development occurring," he declared, "I'm truly optimistic since I work with a squad of emerging talents willing to change"
He also confirmed he hadn't communicated with the chairman the Forest proprietor over the recent pause
"I am not wasting my focus on what people think" he added
"I genuinely don't match, not just at Forest, across the board" he explained
Previous Club History
"I took over Tottenham and received instructions by the chairman at the time 'this organization has to win a trophy'"
"He commented 'we attempted to bring winners in, the Special One and the former Chelsea boss but it didn't succeed, we must have a different approach'"
"I felt somewhat insulted by that statement as I view myself as triumphant"
Defending His Record
"We finished fifth during my debut season" he recalled
"Every time the England captain put the ball in I would hope he would have continued for additional time since it could have been useful to retain him post our top-five position"
"But somehow that year has vanished from historical accounts" he contended
Moving Ahead
"Thus, we reach the existing circumstances where there's an alternative narrative to present, that maybe I'm not a failed manager who was lucky to get this job"
"but possibly I am a coach who if provided patience, the narrative consistently concludes the same"
"Throughout my coaching career, the result is consistent - through my leadership and a trophy"
The manager secured European silverware last spring - Tottenham's first trophy for 17 years plus their first UEFA silverware for 41
The ex-Celtic boss also promised, if given time, he would maintain his history of claiming honors everywhere he has managed
