"Sacking three head coaches in a season does not reflect well on Nottingham Forest or their owner, Evangelos Marinakis. It is a mess of their own making, which started with the exit of their most successful manager in recent history and has the latest P45 going to the man brought in to sort out the problems created by an ill-judged appointment that lasted eight winless games."
"Twelve months ago Forest were battling for a Champions League spot under the stable stewardship of Nuno Espirito Santo. A lot has changed and they will become the first Premier League side to have four permanent managers in a season, which was not a record Forest were aiming for in August, when they were hoping to build on a seventh-place finish, an FA Cup semi-final and qualifying for Europe for the first time in 30 years."
"Forest are in a battle for survival, one place and three points above the relegation zone. The goalless draw against Wolves on Wednesday sealed Dyche's fate, as boos and expletives swirled at full-time with Marinakis watching from the stands. For the second time this season Marinakis took action by parting with a coach within hours of a game finishing. Sean Dyche's appointment was a pragmatic necessity after Ange Postecoglou's flawed reign but his relationship with players and fans became strained."
Nottingham Forest have sacked three head coaches this season, reflecting poorly on owner Evangelos Marinakis and prompting instability. The sequence began after the exit of their most successful recent manager and included an ill-judged appointment that lasted eight winless games. Twelve months earlier the club were contesting a Champions League spot after finishing seventh, reaching an FA Cup semi-final and qualifying for Europe. Nuno Espirito Santo lasted 24 days, Ange Postecoglou 40, and Sean Dyche 114. Forest sit one place and three points above the relegation zone, with talks under way to appoint Vitor Pereira before season end.
