This kind of answers the question that I’ve been asking for some time.
And at the same time, it doesn’t, yet I can’t really find any fault in the logic behind the answer, so I’m just going to have to give it to him on this occasion.
I’ve spoken quite a lot recently about the contract situation surrounding Sabri Lamouchi, given that he’s into the final months of his one-year deal, and how the club need to get him to put pen to paper as soon as possible.
However, according to the man himself, he doesn’t seem to be too enamoured with trying to get himself locked down so soon. Speaking during his press conference ahead of the game against QPR, Lamouchi gave a rather diplomatic and sensible answer on the matter, saying that he’s only focusing on one thing at a time:
“Myself, I’m not so important. What we want to realise all together, is so important. Because we will keep that [promotion] for the rest of our lives, so my contract is only for me. But to realise this all together now, it’s totally different. “
OK, now that we’ve heard it from the horse’s mouth, so to speak.
And if that is the path that he and the club wants to take, then so be it, and it probably means that I can stop demanding the club take action on it, because by the sounds of it, Lamouchi isn’t going to be forcing the issue anytime soon. However, this should really be a case of ‘proceed at your own peril’ for both sides.
If both sides seem willing to let the deal run out and essentially ‘wait and see’ what happens when it comes to results, fine that’s their business.
Will Lamouchi be Forest manager next season?
Yes
No
But if Lamouchi gets snapped up by another team, as could have been the case back in December, don’t come crying to me when we have to start the search for a new manager just because we didn’t get him tied down for long enough.
