Nottingham Forest manager, Oliver Glasner, has hinted at the possibility of another managerial change at the club following their 2-0 defeat to Brentford on Saturday.

Forest’s latest loss leaves them 19th in the Premier League table, just one point above the bottom, and increases the pressure on the club ahead of next weekend’s difficult meeting with league leaders Manchester City.

“It’s now time not to make compromises, it’s now time to show a clear way and everybody has to follow.
