Oliver Glasner insists he never thinks about being sacked after becoming Nottingham Forests fourth permanent manager in less than a year. The Austrian was unveiled at the City Ground on Wednesday after signing a three-year contract following his departure from Crystal Palace at the end of last season.Despite Forests recent managerial turmoil, Glasner says he is focused only on bringing success and stability back to the club.I never sign and think about getting sacked, the 51-year-old said.I just think: OK, what do we have to do to bring success to the club?'Glasner replaces Vitor Pereira after a turbulent period that also saw Ange Postecoglou and Sean Dyche occupy the dugout over the last 12 months.Nuno Espirito Santos departure last summer started the managerial carousel, with Forest changing coaches four times since September.However, Glasner believes long-term stability remains the ambition for everyone involved.Nobody wants to get divorced. I dont know how its in England but in Austria its 50% [the divorce rate], he joked.So when you ask them at the wedding, they would say yeah, not us but it happens.Every single club wants to have the same manager for a decade, have the same players as long as possible but thats just not the real world due to different reasons, due to different expectations, different plans in your life.Table of ContentsForest will not become Palace 2Transfer business expected to accelerateForest will not become Palace 2Glasner arrives with an impressive reputation after guiding Crystal Palace to FA Cup and Europa Conference League success before stepping down in May.His Palace side became known for their aggressive pressing and quick transitions, often operating with a back three.However, he warned supporters not to expect a carbon copy at the City Ground.We are not here to be Palace 2, Glasner said.The habits and the patterns are important, how to attack and defend, the spirit you create, to create a shared way of playing and understanding of what we want to do.I told the players I dont know if we will play a back four or back three, we will get the players where they feel comfortable and its important they all play in their best positions.Get to know the players and find the right system but the patterns and the habits will be the same as at previous clubs.Transfer business expected to accelerateForest are not planning another summer of wholesale spending following last years �180 million recruitment drive, with quality now taking priority over quantity.A midfielder remains a priority following Elliot Andersons record move to Manchester City, while the club are also targeting a goalkeeper and another striker.Glasner admitted he would ideally have his new signings through the door already, but expects movement once players return from the World Cup.I have one strength and weakness its impatience, he said.Sometimes its a strength, sometimes its a weakness.
