With the ball, he prioritised quick and direct counterattacks and a threat at set-pieces (such as corners and free kicks).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially, it was a \u201cminimise chaos\u201d model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swapping to Postecoglou\u2019s controlled chaos overnight is like taking a fleet of delivery vans to a Formula One grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which begs a basic question: if Forest wanted instant results, was Postecoglou the right choice for a squad that was recruited and set up to play a contrasting style?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you change any operating system, you must accept a period of bugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Postecoglou\u2019s method asks for lightning-quick centre-backs, midfielders who can resist pressure and keep the ball, and full-backs who can step into midfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t recruited for that and you don\u2019t allow time for players to learn it, you\u2019re setting the coach up to fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s telling that \u00a3120 million (A$247 million) of Forest\u2019s summer signings were not included in Postecoglou\u2019s final team selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Systems change is behaviour change. It needs repetition, role clarity, and a bit of psychological safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>None of that happens in a few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&quot;No one wanted a dramatic change, the odds were always against Postecoglou&quot; \ud83d\ude2c<br><br>Dan Kilpatrick believes that Ange Postecoglou&#39;s departure from Nottingham Forest was inevitable, with it being too difficult of a task to apply changes after the legacy left by Nuno \ud83c\udf33 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QOtvkJplMu\">pic.twitter.com\/QOtvkJplMu<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SkySportsNews\/status\/1979825813315887453?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 19, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Postecoglou\u2019s style unsustainable?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Elite sport is a performance business and Postecoglou\u2019s performances were deemed untenable at both Spurs and Forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But do proactive coaches like Postecoglou succeed at the very highest level?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, when clubs support the vision.

And this assumes they can assemble the right team in their first six to nine months, and the board stays the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If global businesses give leaders time to show a plan is working, then sacking a football manager after a handful of games isn\u2019t \u201celite standards\u201d \u2013 it\u2019s absurd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Either club owners need to rethink their timelines, or they should stop pretending they want real transformation at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If owners want true transformation, they must resist reaching for the \u201cdo something\u201d button at the first bump and tolerate some initial mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to from here?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No one more than Postecoglou will understand that from a league results standpoint, he failed at both Spurs and Forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps his full-throttle approach in the world\u2019s toughest league was naive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s hard to know whether other clubs will be put off by these recent sackings and Postecoglou still has a place in top-level management.
