Mr Angry
Sanguine Ashvir Singh Johal becomes the first Sikh manager in English football league history, taking over at Morecambe after the Panjab Warriors consortium successfully took over at the club. Johal has previously worked as an assistant manager at Wigan, and for Cesc Fabregas at Como.


After the new owners sacked the previous manager within hours of taking over.

The previous manager who took Morecombe to their highest ever league position and worked several months with no pay to keep the club going.

Nice.


Not ideal by any means - but probably preferable to fans than extinction.

Looks like Nuno could be on his way out at Forest.

That could turn rather ugly, rather quickly as Marinakis will not like the reaction he will presumably get from the fans if it does come to pass.

Why? Was a 3-1 win not considered good enough or is it just because it’s Marinakis?

BBC

In a news conference on Friday, the 51-year-old Nuno said his relationship with Marinakis "has changed" and they are "not as close".

"I always had a very good relationship with the owner - last season we were very close and spoke on a daily basis," Nuno said.

"This season it is not so well [between us] but I always believe that dialogue is important because my concern is the squad and the season we have ahead of us. Our relationship has changed and we are not as close."

When asked if it was good that his relationship with Evangelos Marinakis had changed, Nuno said: "No, it is not good. I think everybody at the club should be together but this is not the reality."

Have they stopped using Nuno's mate for all their transfers?
