It’s going to cost c. £5m to lose Sage and say at least £4m/year to find a new one. As I understand things money is very short so this may well not happen.

And the Forest fans are no doubt laughing at us.

But how much will relegation cost us if we don’t make the change?

Every interview (or so it seems) Pierre Sage talks about "efficiency" and "solutions" yet he never seems to find either...

Can’t even bring himself to say he “KNOWS it’ll be okay”. Compare that to Glasner’s speech before they turned over City.
The man is a self-doubting loser who is in to deep. He could be in the know that he is losing his job and should still say he knows he can turn it around with us. He’s a premier league Manager Ffs.

What Pierre Sage has found is a nice big juicy pay off, and one without too much come back. He'll return to France a few million better off for a few months "work".
Guaranteed to lose more if we don't. Americans' investment down to junk levels.
Sage will not turn this around.

If we can find £50m for an average striker we can find under £10m to get a manager in who knows what he's doing

Thomas Frank: Former Spurs and Brentford boss leading contender to take over at Crystal Palace if Pierre Sage is sacked
Thomas Frank could return to the Premier League after being sacked by Tottenham earlier this year; Pierre Sage, who has taken the Eagles to the bottom of the league after replacing Oliver Glasner this summer, is likely to lose his job at Selhurst Park

Definitely can get behind Thomas frank. Don't mind spurs! Every top manager has failed at them! He has a point to prove.

It seems Sage was almost doomed from Day 1.
The pre-season tour with just a handful of first teamers, the late transfer window which didn't include any of the 3 players he supposedly wanted, the issues around Mateta and Sarr, the issues with Canvot, McNeil and Guessand, the rumoured briefing against him from someone against him in the club.
None of this may have mattered if the results had been ok, but they haven't and I doubt the club are willing to take the risk with him any longer.

I have been tipped the nod this evening that Sage is out and Thomas Frank is to take over.

Tomas Frank will have us playing dull uninspired football and get us relegated on under 30 points. Fault is with the board. Parish’s luck has run out, we get what we deserve by a board that thought it could scrimp again and get away with it. Even if by some miracle we stay up, we’ll have gone backwards.
Reality is we deserve to go down. Parish and the board have shown a complete lack of ambition. Time for a change in someone running the club.

Rubbish.
Last year, we whinged about squad depth. They well and truly addressed that. We dropped $40M on JSL, $35M on Brennan Johnson...it's not Parish' fault he's getting bad advice from Hobbs.

If the club do decide to make a change then someone who is not on the radar - and definitely worth having a conversation with in my opinion - is Rafa Benitez.
Did well at Newcastle, aligned a disenfranchized fanbase with the team and the coaching staff, can organize a defence, practical, not in a role currently. I recently read somewhere he would be interested in returning to the Premier League.
