Nuno Espirito Santo Breaks Silence with Seven-Word Message to Forest Fans Amid Woeful Ange Postecoglou Run

Nuno Espirito Santo Breaks Silence with Seven-Word Message to Forest Fans Amid Woeful Ange Postecoglou Run.

Nottingham Forest’s turbulent start to life under new manager Ange Postecoglou has sparked fresh debate after former boss Nuno Espírito Santo broke his silence with a striking seven-word message aimed at supporters.

Forest parted ways with Nuno earlier this month despite his historic 7th-place finish last season, which secured Europa League football for the first time in nearly three decades. Relations with owner Evangelos Marinakis reportedly soured over transfer disputes and communication breakdowns, paving the way for Postecoglou’s arrival.

But results under the ex-Tottenham boss have been far from convincing. Forest slumped to a 3-0 defeat at Arsenal in Postecoglou’s first league match, then suffered a humiliating 3-2 League Cup exit to Swansea City after blowing a two-goal lead in stoppage time. A 1-1 draw at Burnley offered little respite, with Forest once again losing control late on.

Fans have grown restless, worried the momentum from last season is slipping away. Defensive frailties, injuries to key men like Murillo, and struggles adapting to Postecoglou’s attacking system have only heightened concerns.

Against this backdrop, Nuno has resurfaced with a sensational seven-word parting shot:

“You’ll miss me when the losses pile.

The cryptic line, though not directly referencing Postecoglou, has been interpreted by many supporters as a pointed reminder of the stability and success Forest enjoyed under his leadership.

Forest remain mid-table for now, but with Europa League fixtures looming and fan frustration growing, Postecoglou will need to steady the ship quickly. For Nuno, meanwhile, the dramatic farewell message may linger as a haunting echo if Forest’s struggles deepen.
