He feels he is on the verge of being dismissed at the City Ground — despite
Postecoglou’s recent setback in the Europa League last night.
Owner Evangelos Marinakis appeared furious as fans booed the poor performance and called for the manager's removal.
Postecoglou is now the first Forest manager in a century to fail to win any of his opening six matches.
SunSport reports that the Australian fears he could face dismissal for a second time in four months if Forest loses to Newcastle this weekend.
Postecoglou was let go by Spurs in June, just days after leading the team to Europa League success.
He was brought in by Marinakis in September following a fallout with former manager Nuno.
However, after losses to Arsenal, Swansea, and Sunderland in September,
Postecoglou's other two matches resulted in draws against Burnley and Real Betis.
Nonetheless, he insists he is not contemplating leaving and is optimistic about achieving a positive result against Newcastle.
Postecoglou stated on Friday: “I understand. It’s a reasonable assumption in modern football that there’s always a manager under pressure; that’s part of what we do.
“I don’t think that way. I was aware I would be sacked at Tottenham three or four months before it happened.
“That didn’t prevent me from winning something. It doesn’t occupy my thoughts. If I start worrying about what will happen next week, I’m not fulfilling the responsibilities of my role.
“It’s not beneficial for anyone. The aspects I can control are the training environment and our playing style. I firmly believe we are not too far from success.”
