Glasner: I want to change everything

Nottingham Forest head coach Oliver Glasner explained the purpose of his harsh comments to Sky Sports and at his press conference following the defeat away to Brentford. Glasner said he saw these comments as an opportunity for positive change.

Glasner said it had to be accepted that the current situation was not good enough. He stressed that it was now time for change at a team that has lost four of its last five matches. Forest have won only once since the Austrian head coach's arrival this season, and sit 19th in the Premier League table.

The head coach said he felt he had made too many concessions on some matters. Glasner said he would tell his players what he wanted from them and what they needed to do. He added that if the players believed in this system, the team could recover, otherwise he would become the sixth head coach since the start of last season.

Glasner said he found the training sessions this week positive. The coach, who argued that voicing problems openly is the first step towards change, said he did not want to keep telling the same story. Forest will face Manchester City on Saturday, with the match kicking off at 17:30.
