Harsh words from Glasner at Forest as management backs him

Nottingham Forest lost 2-0 to Brentford, a result that dropped them to 19th in the Premier League. After the match, an angry Oliver Glasner said he would make changes at the club and that if he failed to do so, someone else would be brought in as the sixth head coach.

Club management reportedly appreciated Glasner's stance. Club sources said they were impressed by his determination to pull the team out of its current slump and said business would carry on as usual. Glasner said there would be "no more hugs" for the players he had criticised.

Glasner was appointed at Forest in the summer after leaving Crystal Palace. The club had seen four different head coaches last season. In the summer transfer window, only three senior players arrived, at his own request. The coach said he felt he had made too many concessions.

Glasner said he was not worried about losing his job and that nobody needed to feel sorry for him. He stressed that he wants the change to happen across the whole club. The matter is expected to be addressed at the press conference he will hold on Thursday.
