We need to talk about Nottingham Forest.

[hallamblue]

….i admit to thinking he’d do ok at Forest, especially given his and his coaches strong connections with the club. Straight down the tunnel at final whistle, as though he already knew. Just looked the right fit but I do think lots of these appointments are about the right person in the right place at the right time.

West Ham on a roll, could be interesting down at the bottom just glad we’re not involved.

He was never the right fit, they've got a lot of attacking players and that isn't his strong suit. They should be top 10 minimum with that squad. Be interesting to see how Pereira does if he goes there, complete opposite of Dyche.

Quite simply

Dyche to spurs

 

[maccavennie]

Thomas Frank would surely be an option for Forest

Already talking to pereira apparently

There seems to be this narrative certain people tells themselves that Dyche is an utter blagger who only a moron would hire. What evidence backs that up, what job has he done where he's left a pile of ruin behind?

He's the arch-pragmatist who depresses people to tears but with enough time in a season left he'll grab enough points to see a team over the line. He did it for us, did it for Burnley several times, all indicators were he was going to do it for Forest.

He'll probably go somewhere quiet, out of sight and out mind next. MLS is my bet.

A lunatic owner and a lunatic manager, what could possibly go wrong

 

[Jayhawk]

Russell Martin has been linked with the job at Leicester City, but Will Still is available.

 

[Furey1878]

Binning Dyche for Pereira, at this stage especially, is mad.

114 days...In my college years l accidentally forgot leftovers in the fridge for longer than that.

It feels like they got off too lightly. We went that long not winning a game under him

 

[hkb6970]

They bettered Wolves last night, 35 shots on goal apparently the most by a team without scoring since 2016.Its not as if the players aren't playing for him.

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

Bit gutted they actually pulled the trigger on him right now. Someone new who the players can get behind might give Forest the new manager bounce they need to limp over the line and stay up.

They play the next, let’s hope they are bouncing

That's not an easy run in, Fulham and Burnley at home best chances of points. They're going to have to have a big turn around to get at least 12 more points with West Ham getting into a bit of form.

Thanks for those 6 points in December though Dyche
