🚨 Oliver Glasner on Forest Job: 'Nobody Wants to Get Divorced' - But Will It Last?

17 July 2026, 16:51
📝 THE FULL PICTURE: So Nottingham Forest just hired Oliver Glasner, and he’s already talking about divorce rates. Wild, right? The man knows the gig: Forest’s last few managers barely lasted-Ange Postecoglou got 39 days, Sean Dyche 114, Vitor Pereira got fired two minutes before a clause expired. Glasner’s response? “Nobody wants to get divorced.” He signed a three-year deal, wants stability, but he’s not naive. He says every club wants a long-term manager, but that’s not the real world. Glasner’s track record at Palace was legit-took them from 15th to 10th, winning six of last seven, beating Liverpool and Man United. Now at Forest, he’s not promising a back three or back five yet. He wants players in their best positions. And he’s looking at a reshaped squad: no more £180m spending sprees, just smarter buys. Expect faster attacking play and fewer backwards passes. 💭 MY TAKE: Glasner’s got the right vibe-realistic but hungry. He’s not scared of the turnover stat because he’s focused on winning, not worrying about the exit door. That’s the kind of energy Forest need. But can he actually build something when the owner has fired managers quicker than you can say “divorce”? Let’s see. The guy turned Palace into a pressing machine, and Forest has the pieces-Gibbs-White, Wood, Hutchinson. If Glasner gets his system right, this could be a sneaky top-half push. Or another short marriage.
