Loki679 Posted October 20, 2025 Share Posted October 20, 2025 4 hours ago, Abacus said: At least he has admitted his mistake early, which seemed obvious in the first place to everyone on the outside, and got rid of him. I'm not sure what sensible manager opts to work with Marinakis though. Dyche would seem like a sound enough option to get them out of the relegation zone and, you'd imagine, would probably take it knowing it's a short term appointment in all likelihood. But to what extent are their better players likely to want to hang on for a season of scrapping to stay up? Who wouldn't? Long as your agent is halfway competent you get a few million quid for a few months work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you attract grifter managers in for a payoff, I suppose. I wouldn't put Dyche in that bracket, but if he thinks he can build anything long term he's daft. If he doesn't mind being a replaceable firefighter for a season, fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like Michael followed Omar, Dukie followed Bubbles and Marlo followed Avon, Dyche will follow Allardyce. Give it Big Sean til the end of the season.

Dyche is in the bracket of "PL survival specialist" which comes with being sacked the next season as standard. In about 2.5 years West Ham will get ideas above their station Nuno and he'll be sacked. He'll end up back at Forest at some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingxlnc Posted October 20, 2025 Share Posted October 20, 2025 (edited) Still wish Benitez had stayed put, Forest would be perfect for his style as he's still defensive like Nuno but has more about him tactically. Forest have a talented squad he could do something with which he's not had for 10 years - the Real Madrid season - perhaps at a push you could say the Newcastle fighting relegation he joined had decent individuals. His reputation has tanked partly through insane decision-making of the jobs he's taken on. But would have liked to have seen him have one last go - Forest are also in Europe this season, his speciality. He would be good for the Anderson return, wouldn't mind Anderson / Elanga straight swap tbh. Edited October 20, 2025 by kingxlnc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie_once_removed Posted October 20, 2025 Share Posted October 20, 2025 Imagine if you were a Forest fan who fell into a coma in say April and then you woke up to this. Grim. Dyche may well keep them up but he's also pretty much guaranteed to bring dire football and a perennial existence in the bottom third of the league. It's hardly the stuff to quell the brewing fan unrest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A man who hired Ange based solely on his Greek heritage.

Bastards listed Rafa Benitez replacing Ancelotti intheir top ten. OK, get that Evertonians hate Rafa. But the drop off from Anceliotti to Rafa is nowhere near as bad as that of Rafa to Bruce.

Terrible decision on so many levels. It was so unbelievably short sighted, because a bunch of spoilt brats had no respect for Bobby they replaced him with the angriest man they could find who was literally a game away from being sacked at a Blackburn team languishing at the bottom of the table, they even paid to take him off Blackburn saving them a hefty payout. Completely insane and I remember being enraged at the time.

The College Dropout Posted October 21, 2025 Share Posted October 21, 2025 I obviously never wanted Souness but he was a lot worse than I could have imagined. For some reason i thought he would win a trophy here before things went south. Within 6 months Bellamy and Robert were gone right? Signed Boumsong in January. Absolute bobbins. Souness the worst manager i've experienced due to what he inherited. SMC next. I don't count Carver. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
