We need to talk about Nottingham Forest.

[Gilbert..]

Yeah, it's not too bad the stuff he says. Most of it is just him talking about all the work he did 'putting out fires' which is probably true to an extent but he was also one of the highest paid managers in the league, so you know...

Not sure what was unrealistic from the fans. Winning a few home matches? Scoring some goals from open play? Progressing in the cups at home against Luton and Southampton? Who knows

Ironic listening to him as he's got a lot of postecoglou in him in terms of he loves to big himself up. The Everton fans expectation thing at the time was the biggest load of bullsh!t from him. I never read or heard a single Everton fan think we'd do any better than mid table at best. Pure deflection.
The Forest job will suit him i think. But nuno got them sitting near the top playing a certain way. I doubt he'll accept that if dyche has them just floating outside the relegation places.

Hiring Dyche can only mean they have to sell everyone to satisfy finacial rules.
January sales from in Nottingham might be full of bargains

You think that’s why?
But why hire fatty ange?

 

[NathDogg]

The stench of defeat on this thread is palpable.

Those who denigrated and mocked Dyche are in utter disarray here.

Your simplistic views of this manager haven't survived contact with the real world of the football industry. Your judgment is in the bin.

Own that.

Behave yourself.

Your best mate Davey moyes made a total mockery of Dyches football coaching and managerial ability within minutes of taking over from the rs Tory fraud, or have you forgotten that nugget.

The football industry didn’t want to know him for 9 months because of how bad he left us ffs. I’m
staggered that a club and chairman with forests supposed aspirations have given him a chance, but him getting the gig tells us forests aspirations have changed and the chairman is a complete crank and has proper panicked after postanoclu did his thing.

It’s genuinely not the ringing endorsement of Dyche you think it is mate, but whatever helps you sleep at night.

Personally, I won’t kiss arse a Tory rs mongrel useless clueless coward manager, who totally shat the bed when at the biggest job he will ever get.

To bring much needed joy to our lives !!

Always need a basket case to fulfill your day..

 

[brownmola]

Did not believe it when I heard it. Shocking hire. Nuno hired back by December.

 

[Zatara]

Successful in sitting deep and attacking on the counter.

Best team Dyche could have hoped for.

 

[Tigger]

Oh yeah, forgot about him.

Best way to deal with trauma

 

[MikeH72]

because I said I thought United might roll over at Anfield?

You really need to unclench your pearls

What’s happened to Big Red btw mate? Are they cycling off, or has John Aldridge resigned as head of the PGMOL?

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

"He'll never get another PL job" - the clever people.

Oh dear.

He's the new (far less talented) Sam Allardyce, of course he was going to get offers. Its just that he'll more then likely never last at these clubs. He's a stop-gap manager for badly run and desperate clubs.

You should probably answer that one. This is you in the summer before a ball was kicked.


‘They are set up to dominate for the next decade in all honesty. They’re the best run club in world football. People are doing themselves no favours convincing themselves the likes of Arsenal are going to be overtaking them any time soon.’

I can remember you also absolutely shrieking at me when I suggested that I hope they bought Isak for the money they did because they’d have to play him every single week no matter how well he was playing, it would stop them landing the next Salah, and Ekitike would be shoved to the wing.

So yeah I reckon it’s a question for you as to what’s happened as you were so certain in the summer. Like quite a few, you obviously got carried away.

Ha Ha Ha Ha.

Heads falling off. ^^^^ Exhibit One.

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

He'll keep them up. If that's all Forst are concerned about, then they can consider it done. Dyche will fix the defence and steady the ship. Lots of 0-0's and 1-0's coming. They've effectively given up on that Europa League campaign though.

They’ll win the league as their squad is better than Arsenal’s and City’s. If they don’t then Egg Head will be sacked.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Now we'll see if he can perform with better players. He has a striker there, and pace out wide so no excuses.

Bookies have them as 5th favourite to go down. 5/2, 2/1 etc. Surprised odds are so low, but then again - considering 3 go down - who would you give shorter odds?

View attachment 329328

It's all well and good saying they won't go down, but who does?

The thing is, I don't think Forest have appointed him just to stay up. They've legged Mancini, and there's a lot of managers out there so they think he's the best bet.

I figure maybe as close to Nuno in terms of defend first, and give any new fella a whole pre-season.

Since they've appointed Dyche, the bookies have decided Leeds are more likely to be relegated than Forest;
