Rafael- We got off to a brilliant start, was in the top six then it all fell apart after that Watford game.
Sam- Was horrid football but he moved us up the table.
That last year under dyche was easily the worst I’ve ever seen from Everton, especially the last six months where we lost our first five games, scored one goal from open play in eleven games and found ourselves in deep relegation trouble against the worst three promoted teams the league has ever seen.
Not to mention the Bournemouth game.
That part of the cycle will come eventually for forest and I can’t wait to watch it unfold.
He runs his players into the ground, relies on nothing but hard work and graft and when the energy levels drop he doubles down and drags everyone down to his level.
We've had some rubbish managers haven't we. Not helped by the hodge podge buying of subpar players and clueless upper management but hey ho.
FSW, Fat Sam and Scotch egghead have however the crime of being particularly unlikeable characters. Would add Fat Ron onto that list.
Even the better managers struggled with the constraints on them but at least the likes of Ancelotti, Silva and Martinez were likeable and it's not a surprise that they didn't play anti-football.
Anyway he's Forest's problem now. If he does there what he did here, he might get a pass from their fans this season by "steadying the ship". A ship that last season got into Europe so it should be more than possible. Next season though when the dull negative character of the man and his football becomes ever more apparent, it'll be interesting to see what damage he has done long term to Forest and their aspirations.
