The Telegraph is reporting that Nottingham Forest manager Aitor Karanka could be surprisingly on the verge of the sack following his side’s 3-3 draw with Norwich City on Boxing Day, and Aston Villa fans have been quick to react.
Surrendering a 3-0 lead against the Championship high-flyers at Carrow Road on Tuesday left the Reds three points adrift of the play-offs – a position that owner Evangelos Marinakis expected them to be in given their summer spending which included a club-record deal for Joao Carvalho.
The remarkable 5-5 draw against Dean Smith’s side at Villa Park last month was soon followed by a run of three matches without a goal prior to the trip to Norfolk, and it seems as though Karanka could be set to pay for the downturn in form.
Aston Villa supporters have taken to social media to give their thoughts on the story, and while one said “Steve Bruce confirmed”, another said “they’ll get Zola in”.
Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…
