""If you look at it through the prism that I'm a failed manager who's lucky to get this job... then these first five weeks looks like this guy's under pressure," said Postecoglou, suggesting that the reporter who asked the first question at the media call was "smirking" at him."
""There is an alternative story you can look at. I came to the Premier League two years ago and took over 'Spursy' Tottenham.""
""I was told by the chairman at the time [Daniel Levy], 'this club has to win a trophy. We've tried to bring winners in - Jose [Mourinho] and Antonio [Conte] - and it hasn't worked. We have to try something different'.""
""We finished fifth in my first year and, every time Harry Kane scores a goal, I wish he'd stayed one more year, because it would have been handy to have had him. But somehow that year has disappeared from the record books.""
Ange Postecoglou accused Tottenham of overlooking his record and insisted he can deliver silverware at Nottingham Forest despite a difficult start. Postecoglou won the Europa League with Spurs before leaving at the end of last season. Forest have failed to win any of his first seven matches, are on a run of three consecutive defeats, and reports suggest the club is considering replacing him. Postecoglou contrasted the 'failed manager' narrative with his Spurs achievements, recalled finishing fifth in his first Spurs season, and referenced expectations to win trophies at top clubs.
