FOREST TURN TO WINNING POSTE

He left Spurs with silverware now Ange is into the drama with Marinakis in Nottingham

- BY JOHN CROSS

ANGE POSTECOGLOU was one of the great stories of last season.

The Big Ange soap opera with his public rants, frustration and then glorious farewell as he led Tottenham to their first trophy in 17 years by winning the Europa League.

That is the hook for Nottingham Forest and why fiery owner Evangelos Marinakis had Postecoglou lined up long before the axe inevitably came down on Nuno Espirito Santo.

And it was inevitable. From the moment Nuno spoke out about Forest's transfer business and his relationship break down with Marinakis, he was doomed.

But why Postecoglou? The style of football, a big personality and, most of all, a track record of winning trophies.

Big Ange promised at Tottenham he always wins a trophy in his second season - and, against the odds, he delivered.

And Postecoglou did it in style. It was rip-roaring, swashbuckling, attacking football and Forest fans can expect to be entertained at the City Ground.
