"Put it this way - I knew I was getting sacked at Tottenham about three or four months before I did, but that didn't stop me from winning something. It doesn't enter my head. My responsibility lies in making sure this football club progresses and gets to a position where it can challenge for things. If I start putting timelines to that or worry about what is going to happen next week then I am not performing the role I have been given."
"It's a valid assumption in modern football that there is always a manager that is under pressure - that's just part and parcel of what we do - but I don't think that way. I just don't think it is helpful to anyone. At the end of the day, I have to concentrate on the environment, the training, the way we play, and as I said last night, I am still very, very strong in my belief that we are not too far away."
Nottingham Forest failed to win any of their opening six matches under Ange Postecoglou, including a home Europa League defeat to FC Midtjylland. The team have conceded 12 goals since his arrival, the most in the league, and occupy a relegation-zone position in the Premier League. Supporters chanted "You're getting sacked in the morning" during the Midtjylland loss. Postecoglou said he does not dwell on pressure or potential dismissal, noting he anticipated his Spurs exit months earlier yet still achieved success. He stated his focus is on progressing the club, improving the environment, training and style of play, and that he believes the team is not far away.
