Resolute Postecoglou Asserts 'Allow Me Chance' Amid Scrutiny
Ange Postecoglou is yet to secure none of his seven matches following his succession of the previous manager last month
Embattled boss Ange Postecoglou presented a heartfelt explanation about his career and committed to win honors with the club allowed sufficient opportunity
The experienced manager faces scrutiny after failing to secure victory in none of his opening seven games after taking over from the former manager in September
The club has been considering available choices over the pause in fixtures, with ex-Burnley boss Sean Dyche among the names evaluated as a potential replacement even though Postecoglou having been in charge for less than six weeks
Forest faces the London club this weekend and Postecoglou presented an extended speech in his match preview media briefing, as Forest occupying 17th position in the Premier League
"Certain people focus on the negatives yet I notice at the progress being made," he declared, "I'm genuinely enthusiastic as I have a squad of emerging talents willing to change"
He also confirmed he hadn't communicated with the chairman Evangelos Marinakis during the international break
"I refuse to spend my energy on what people think" he added
"I just don't fit, not just at Forest, just in general" he explained
Tottenham Experience
"I became manager of the North London club and received instructions from the owner during that period 'this club needs to claim a trophy'"
"He stated 'we've tried to appoint proven winners, the Portuguese coach and Antonio [Conte] but it didn't succeed, we require something different'"
"I was slightly offended by those words since I consider myself as successful"
Justifying His Performance
"We finished fifth in my initial campaign" he recalled
"Every time the England captain found the net I'd wish he would have continued for additional time as it would have proven handy to keep his services post our top-five position"
"However strangely that campaign has disappeared from public memory" he argued
Moving Ahead
"Thus, we reach the current space where there remains a different story to tell, that possibly I'm not a failed manager who was fortunate to secure this position"
"but possibly I'm a leader that when allowed opportunity, the narrative consistently concludes the same"
"Throughout my coaching career, the result is consistent - alongside me holding silverware"
The manager secured European silverware in May - the club's initial honor after a long drought and their first European silverware in over four decades
The ex-Celtic boss likewise vowed, if given time, he would maintain his track record of winning trophies everywhere he has managed
