IF I GET TIME I ALWAYS END UP A WINNER

Under-pressure Postecoglou comes out fighting with an impassioned defence of his record and Forest prospects

- SARAH CLAPSON

ANGE POSTECOGLOU launched a passionate defence of his position as Nottingham Forest boss yesterday, insisting he isn't a "failed manager".

The future of the Forest head coach has been the subject of much speculation during the international break on the back of a seven-match winless start to his tenure.

But Postecoglou hit back at his doubters ahead of today's clash at home to Chelsea and pledged his Forest story will end with success provided he is given time.
