Nottingham Forest manager Ange Postecoglou questioned the talk of him being sacked after defeat at Newcastle extended his winless run to six games.
After watching his side fall to yet another defeat at St James’ Park, Postecoglou stood alone as he applauded the travelling Forest supporters and didn’t appear to be approached by any of his players.
Asked whether he could turn the job around, he said: ‘Yes, it’s a lost cause! Seriously – what’s wrong with something being hard? Why do we just want something easily packaged? It seems to be these days it’s “That’s it, wrong, break it up.”
‘Everything that needs something fixed is invariably going to go through a tough time. Beyond it being a lost cause, I see it as an exciting opportunity. You have to be up for the fight and struggle.
‘You think I would be sitting here at the age of 60 if I lacked self-belief or lacked fight? Even in the schoolyard I picked fights with people who beat me up.
‘I get that it’s part of the fanfare around the Premier League that there needs to be a manager who is always under the spotlight but I think like most other managers, we enjoy having this kind of challenge.’
Daily Mail Sport revealed last week that Postecoglou will hold talks with the club this week which will dictate whether he stays or leaves.
