I think the Champions League is probably the only thing keeping Frank in his job. Down to 16th, five points above the relegation zone, as it stands, West Ham and Forest looking better in recent weeks too.

They got away with it last season because all three relegated teams were so absolutely miles off the pace. This season, there's only Wolves and Burnley looking that bad. There's a place open and they might just find themselves in it.

He should be out of a job tonight, they had one of the worst quality sets of Champions League opponents (PSG aside) I think I’ve ever seen

Just goes to show, sacking a manager who's had success just because things didn't go exactly how you wanted them to isn't always the best way to go.
In hindsight Postecoglou should have been left in post, yes they finished 17th but he quite clearly made it obvious about this time last year he was going to throw the League campaign on the fire to prioritise Europe and actually bring them some silverware

Would have looked like an idiot had he not have pulled it off but he did... and therefore sacking him was harsh

Shame both Forest and Spurs can't go down, basket cases of clubs ruined by the owners

Forest owner is a fucking clown.
He has no strategy for taking the club forward. Got lucky and appointed a fella who did a good job but fell out with him because he's got an ego the size of the moon.
Ange, wrong man at the wrong time,, now he's got rid of Dyche, this is the time of year where clubs sack managers and usually appoint, err, Sean Dyche!

Dyche nominated for manager of the month for January, now potentially being replaced by Vitor Pereira who was deemed not good enough by *checks notes* Wolves. I know he kept them up last year but I'd be shitting it as a Forest fan. Only in the frame because he's worked under the owner at Olympiakos

If appointed I think Pereira does well, shit the bed at Wolves but had the guts of his team sold under him.

Forrest should be top half with their squad I think.

That's a very fair point. It's either that or they fall out within a couple of months as they're both.....strong characters shall we say

Not a fan of Sean Dyche by any means but his record since he joined them is the best he has ever had in management . He has picked up 36 points from 25 games at that rate they would be midtable at the end of the season.
The owner is an idiot but then again we all know that.

Great article in the Midlands Gazette on Dyche.

Pretty brutal tbh, but a very accurate summary of how he`s carefully created his own myth and how the crazy Greek gangster at Forest fell for it.

People seem very quick to forget, that as well as getting Burnley into Europe and very quickly out again, he also relegated them twice and was in the process of taking them down again, when he got the boot.

Forest have a squad that cost almost 450 mil. For the first time ever, he had a squad at his disposal, where he didn`t have to play survival mode footy every single game, but he just doesn`t know how to play front foot footy, so he reverts to the one and only way he knows how to play, low block and hoof it up to a grock up front.

Playing low block footy for ninety mins every game, no matter who you`re playing, whether it`s home or away and then blaming everyone and everything else when it goes wrong, was always going to end one way.

His footy makes your eyes bleed, that`s the best way of describing it.

If Parker goes, expect to see him rock up back at Burnley.

He`s the last of the dinosaur managers, who`s made himself a multi millionaire from never deviating from his one and only way of playing footy.
