Ange Postecoglou’s Nottingham Forest Sack Was Brutal – Gary Neville

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has said that sacking a manager face-to-face is one of the worst things anyone can do. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Nottingham Forest owner sacking Ange Postecoglou minutes after the Chelsea game was wild, and the decision must’ve affected the Australian coach negatively.

Keane added that while there is no good time to break the news to a manager getting sacked, doing it in a classy manner wouldn’t hurt.

His words, “I’ve sacked four managers face-to-face in my time at Salford. Honestly, as a football club owner, it’s one of the worst things you can do.

You always think about the right time – obviously for the club, ultimately you’re doing it because the club isn’t happy and as owners you’re not happy – but you’re always thinking about how you deliver that news and where you deliver that news from the point of view of the manager.

And also giving him integrity. When you get sacked as a manager, you feel paranoid, you feel like the whole world is looking at you, you feel awful, you feel like you’ve let everyone down.

So you try and do it in as classy a way as possible, you try and do it a bit of time away from the game, you try and make sure he has the ability to speak to his staff and his players and has the time to build a statement.

To do it 15, 20 minutes after a game, Jill (Scott) put it beautifully, to leave the stadium, and then do it 20 minutes after the match…”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
