🔗 Share this article Unbowed Wilfried Nancy insists he is not worried about being fired yet the Parkhead faithful show anger following loss. Wilfried Nancy stated he was not afraid of dismissal, claiming, “The team is really close to changing our fortunes,” despite sliding worryingly close to the chopping block with a comprehensive defeat by their arch-rivals. Another Meltdown Leads to Derby Defeat The home side were ahead their oldest rivals at the break but a second-half capitulation allowed Danny Röhl’s team to draw level on points with the defending league title holders. The former MLS manager, who was brought in from the MLS, has now been in charge for six defeats in his first eight games. “We are together at the club,” said Nancy. Pressed on whether he was concerned, he said: “That’s not my focus. I think about discovering solutions to get the team to improve on the fine details. Protest Erupts The fans voiced their fury – aimed at the board and manager – by protesting at full time. The hierarchy are thought to be considering to return to the interim manager, who had a fruitful interim spell previously, if Nancy departs. “It’s the results [that leads to pressure]. That is the reality for the moment. But in stating this is the reality, I am not saying that I am pessimistic. Absolutely not. The message is we are on the cusp, extremely close to change the narrative.” Focus on the Details He continues to cling to the fact his team can perform strongly for a half at a time. For instance, if not for missed chances they could have been better than 1-0 up. “I saw enough except the fact that we didn't take a second goal,” he said. “I know that we lost, but I must remain objective. “The performance we had at times was really, really, really high. That happened. I could not say that if it was not the case. But that’s why, in terms of results, I mentioned this is the same story. Which is why I believe a change is coming to getting it right. Right now: the fine margins.” “There were a lot of encouraging signs that we did, as was the case today. The issue now comes down to performing for 90 minutes. My outlook would change the same. This is why I am a big believer the team can to get back on track.” Röhl’s Cautious Stance The victorious boss refused to contemplate a serious challenge in spite of what seemed like a landmark win. “One match at a time, so we can gradually build a challenge,” he said. “The confidence in the team is outstanding.”
