A humble tub of yoghurt tucked away in a Nottingham fridge has outlived Ange Postecoglou’s 39-day stint as Nottingham Forest manager—by a whopping three days.
The Aussie tactician, hailed as a Premier League saviour when he arrived on 11th September, was given his P45 faster than a VAR offside call, sacked on 20th October after a dismal run of one win in seven games. Meanwhile, that innocent pot of strawberry yoghurt—bought on 10th September and best before 23rd October—still sits smugly in the chill drawer.
Postecoglou’s Forest fairytale turned into a nightmare quicker than you can say “sour milk.” Signed amid fanfare to replace Nuno Espírito Santo, the 60-year-old brought his high-octane Spurs blueprint, only to fail to win any of his eight games in charge.
He’d only just moved into a swanky new Nottingham apartment last week, unpacking boxes on Wednesday—yet by Monday, he was packing them up again, his tenure shorter than a long Bank Holiday weekend break.
Reports swirl that Sean Dyche, the no-nonsense Everton exile and former Forest youth prospect, is in advanced talks to step in—potentially bringing backroom duo Ian Woan and Steve Stone for a reunion tour. Bookies, revelling in the ridicule, are wagering on whether Dyche will outlast a block of Dairygold, which the former Burnley boss has reportedly dismissed as, “butter woke nonsense.”
