Where Are We at NFFC? Like Brexit No One Knows!

What do we know?

Off the field fans politely quiet given we now have a proper football club and a proven business and football owner.

On the field the fan rumblings have already started over loyalty of what might have been with OBE's Apprentices v The demand for "no hoofball" but attractive football.

Both styles tried but not produced "Winning Football" over 46 matches!

Enter unknown Sabri Lamouchie, identified as a potential Olympiacos manager after leaving Rennes at the same time MON was appointed so well known to Kyriakos Dourekas our DOF.

SL in sorting out the squad has expressed surprised that the Forest squad was better than he was expecting!

Cause for Concern?

Yes, it shows he is on a steep learning curve. Hopefully he is a bright guy and will adapt quickly.

Despite EM's vision I'm unconvinced that between them they can identify the required quality for the instant success demanded?

The timing of the management changes indicates SL has been waiting in the wings identifying targets? However, Dourekas' recruitment of players for Greek football and shipping some to Forest has been poor. So, the chances are that the overseas recruitment will again fall short.

More concerning are the gaps in the Dourekas CV. 25 years at Olympiacos in " various roles" starting as an IT Manager and "only recently" being Director of Team Operations. Yet he takes credit for " a major role" in all the team's success over his employment there. They have not won the league for 2 seasons after 7 wins since EM acquired the club in 2010.

" The Invisible DOF " at Forest is the trusted EM company man. Hopefully this trust is not misplaced.

The next few signings and departures will reveal whether we have a chance?

Good Luck Sabri Lamouchie and watch your back if your boss has cocked up the ins and outs!

So remember this season's fate is in the hands of Kyriakos Dourekas rather than the coach who has already distanced himself moving to the away dugout!

COYR's.
