The affable Australian, brought in by owner Evangelos Marinakis to replace Nuno Espirito Santo on September 9, is already hanging on to his job by the coat-tails.
What makes it even worse is that in the Premier League only (since the Australian took over), Forest are 20th of 20 teams in terms of goals scored (one), losses (three), points (one), clean sheets (zero), errors leading to shots (five) and shot conversion rate (2%).
It's clearly regrettable that the Australian hasn't been able to get things right straight off the bat, but to be considering sacking a manager less than four weeks into a rebuilding job is surely an indication of how short-sighted the club are being.
