Nottingham Forest: Oliver Glasner upbeat before Ipswich game
Nottingham Forest manager Oliver Glasner remains optimistic despite a difficult start to the Premier League season. The team currently sits in the relegation zone after three consecutive defeats.
Why it matters
High-stakes professional sports management often faces intense scrutiny, and the performance of a major club impacts local community morale and financial stability.

Football reporter Published 23 October 2026, 09:14 BST "It feels unfair but I don't want to be complaining and feeling as victims."
Oliver Glasner's words offer a positive outlook as he believes Nottingham Forest deserve more following their disappointing start to the season.
They visit Ipswich Town on Friday following three straight defeats during an underwhelming opening which has left them in the Premier League's relegation zone.
It was not a position they expected to be in after appointing Glasner in the summer, following his exit from Crystal Palace .
They have been agonisingly close to successful results, wasting golden chances before losing at Palace and nearly hung on for a battling point against champions Arsenal last Sunday.
