“It was a complete surprise. I accept it, but the only thing that was not proper was how they did it.
“That was not fair. Sending an email… two minutes before midnight, when we had organised everything for pre-season.
“But, OK — I am not the kind of person who carries the past.”
Vitor Pereira was released by Nottingham Forest over email at 11:58pm on June 30.
He talks to @NickMiller79 about his surprise, Morgan Gibbs-White, Elliot Anderson and why he is eager to prove he is not just "a fireman" when it comes to Premier League management.

For all the problems we have scoring goals and the money spent on Delap, I’m stunned we were never in for Kostoulas! Surely the owner knew there was a good player there and could have sent him our way. When have we ever benefited from this Multi club model? #nffc
Anyone with half a brain and any semblance of football knowledge could tell you that midfield was too weak and lacked quality. I love Yatesy, but going back to him now after 4/5 seasons sums it up! Madness and delusional to think otherwise that not replacing EA would work #nffc
It’s alright Glasner coming out now saying and hinting that he made ‘compromises’ which he shouldn’t have done on players, but he literally said he turned down more players from Marinakis in summer, only got himself to blame for this shit show! #nffc

Glasner taken us back 4 seasons.Squad broken & dysfunctional. Next games vs city and chelsea, odds on we lose both and international break in 7 points, 1 point in 7, no goals at home. Untenable. #NFFC

If Glasner was smart he'd take a closer look at the system Vitor played, which had us scoring for fun and a joy to watch. Also got the absolute best out of MGW who is completely under utilised in this current system. Time to change things up and earn that 13m salary OG #NFFC

Updated Glasner watch:
👀 1 win in his last 16 PL matches (lost 9).
🧐 1 win from 10 at Forest in all comps (10% win rate, which is the 2nd worst in club history).
😬 5 wins in his last 35 domestic matches (lost 20), dating back to last December.
🥴 Failure to score in 14 of those 35 (40%).
🤡 Only 6 clean sheets in those 35 (17%).
Forest have fallen behind in 6 of Glasner's matches. The team has scored ZERO goals when in a losing position.
Elite xG though... 😅 #nffc

At the Ipswich game I was told by many #NFFC fans that Schlager was fantastic. For me he was a back up to the midfielder we never signed. Our league position is a product of poor recruiting, high ego, and a load of fans who are more interested in their podcasts. We're shite.

The elite manager now has 9 wins in 41 league games & 1 win in his last 16
Lost his last FA cup game to Macclesfield
Forget your XG, this guy is a fraud
Refuses to change formation. Paid £50million for a striker who has only scored more than 3 goals in a season twice #nffc

Also....blaming Milenkovic would see you foolish. Done a defensive job and scored an own goal and deflection because he's stretched doing a job for 2 men.
It’s a disgrace to replace the best player we had by a country mile and a generational talent with a free agent who looks like, plays like and reminds me of Simon Gillet!! Diabolical 🤬 powderpuff lightweight midfield and terrible up front. We are relegation fodder #nffc
Enough is enough of this nonsense! We are a powderpuff side. Simply not good enough, Glasner wants sacking alone for wanting Delap and Schlager! We are weaker than last season and I’m afraid there are no shit sides to save us this time around! #nffc
It’s going to be a long long winter! Put all our eggs in one basket with Glasner and folk have been sucked in. How on earth and what justifies the predictions at beginning of season that we would challenge for top 10! When the side is weaker than last season which came 16th #nffc
Our recruitment has been garbage yet again! Delap 🤣, feel sorry for Schlager as he’s come in fill Anderson squad place when he’s not even in the same calibre, then signed two others that are supposed to be decent in this system. We are 3/4 quality players short! #nffc

An increase to £13.20p/h equates to a minimum wage of £27,456, based on a 40 hour week.
Once you factor in employers NI and basic pension contributions, the MINIMUM cost to hire a 21 year old for a company would be £31,461.
This is before you factor in any overarching business costs like office space, laptops, phone, software, training, support staff, vehicles etc.
This is going to be devastating to SME's who cant put together a simple 12 month budget without the goalposts being moved & their margins squeezed.
It'll also be catastrophic to youngsters opportunities because businesses will simply not be able to afford to hire them.
What's also incredible is that anything above £50,270 is seen as 'high earnings' in the UK and is taxed at 40%!
We are governed by financially and economically illiterate morons.
This will not end well.

Stocking shelves in Sainsbury's and an entry-level graduate job in accounting are already very close to paying the same
this will only make the job market more fucked (particularly for young people)
