Still agree with all that.

The point was/remains - he's progressed that club enormously, and Forest fans are entitled cry arses.

He's not infallible, but, to use the last quote you shared;

Clearly his ambitions for the team he’s sunk £450m plus expenses into were more than “just stay up” which plenty of people called months ago in the face of backlash from people who had been Gasdyched into thinking their level was aiming for 17th.

Will be watching their form with a keen eye from now until the end of the season, got to say it will be very funny if they finish comfortable and win the Europa League.
 
No one has ever been more hard done by Dychey in his life.

Forget him being unable to actually win games, he wins them in theory.

Yep, a manager who needs so many excuses made for him and asterisks added into ever conversation might just not be a very good manager in the cold light of day. Credit to the scabs for seeing through his self flagellation and PR campaign in the media.
 
Oh forget that someone just went two foot in on @GrandOldTeam OMG WOW someone please call the cops it gonna go OFF.

Pfft, missed the tackle by about 10 yards.

Find me one quote there that's wrong, and I'll multi quote you to death.

He joined a club on the brink of League One, quite literally one game away, winning 3-0 to stay up on goal difference.

They play in the Europa League next week.

Clearly, which is why Dyche was never getting beyond this season no matter what. As said, day one since they hired him - he was their Allardyce, interim, with a Silva waiting in the summer.

But whatever the owners ambitions are, the reality was the season was wrote off when he Moshiried their recruitment in the summer, forcing Nuno to leave, Ange leave, and now they're the first team in Premier League history to have 4 managers in a season.

He leaves with millions for a few months work and neutrals, and even those close to the club - thinking he's been very hard done by;

That kind of chaos might work at lower levels - and you can definitely argue it did work for Marinakis at lower levels - but I really don't think the same argument applies in the top flight. If this constant and hilarious managerial churn was working, they'd be chasing the Champions League spots - but they weren't under Ange or Dyche and they won't be, in all likelihood, under Vitor or whichever out-of-work chancer needs to top up his bank account. Their current direction of travel is down. They've peaked. Whether they stay up is now the question. I think West Ham have more about them.

I meant “this season”. He wasn’t appointed with the idea that they’d scrape 17th in embarrassing tinpot fashion. As evidenced by his sacking while in that position. He’d had plenty of time to get them well clear and in my opinion they should’ve been comfortably mid table by now with the fixtures they’ve had. Tenbellies agrees with me, and look at his track record in football he rarely gets it wrong. 👀
