As the usual suspects insist on using my name in vain, I feel obliged to make a reply.
Firstly, I m amazed at how personal the difference of opinion over Dyche has become. I ve said in an earlier post, some people on here are like bald men arguing over a comb. I’m not Marinkinakos and neither are you. Our views are largely irrelevant. The Greek giveth and the Greek taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Greek.
Secondly, Larry Balloons I’m sickened by your immature, childish jubilation over Dyches sacking, as I’m sure many on this site are too. It’s a disaster and a humiliation for the club. One might even start to think, by revelling in Forest’s misfortune, you are not a true supporter at all………??
Cyclist, I’m glad you have taken the trouble to quote my view because I’m right. It hasn’t aged at all. In the short term our owner has probably thrown away the best chance of us staying up this season and in the long term, I hold to my opinion that no manager should be sacked until he’s had at least 2 transfer windows and a pre season ( longer ideally) to mold his squad.
Apart from the 3 last minute emergency loans to cover injuries in key positions he’s had neither. Also in the long term, we will never attract any even half decent managers to our basket case of a club. However, I hope you enjoy the forthcoming downward spiral. I won’t.
Secondly, Dyches record in the Premiership was played 18, won 6, lost 8, drawn 4, points 22.
Nick Mashiter of the BBC has worked out that if Dyche had taken over with this record at the start of the season we’d be in 12 th place comfortably mid table ( again as I predicted)
For the record 1 defeat in the last 6, Europa 4 wins, 1 draw, 1 defeat.
Apart from the unwonted record of a 4th manager in a season, it must be fairly unusual to sack a manager a week after being nominated for Manager of the Month.
Statistically, his win ratio was second only to Cloughies.
Dreyfus, for the future, you have your wish mate. What next? The loser Perriera from wolves or the loser Frank from Spurs? Because, as I said earlier, no half decent manager would touch us with a barge pole.
I rest my case…. enjoy ??????????.

Went on a bit but agree with that been saying be careful what you wish for Dyche has good knowledge of the Premier league, he's a troubleshooter and reads the game well he has weaknesses but who hasn't he would have kept us up maybe Now who knows.
MrM could have moved him on later. We will see what the player's are made of now no excuses it's down to them if we go down.

Yep ……when a loser meets some bottlers. i could write a soliloquy on the assertion I made about the players - who bottled it once again last night - I won’t though because it’s all opinions and as you rightly say, on this site - especially at the minute - the victorious opinion is a pyrrhic victory at best …….

I'm only happy because we've sacked a manager that should have never been anywhere near the club in the first place. A new decent appointment gets 13 games, Europe and a pre season to shape the squad.
Read on Stokie 90% of posters are happy too. Your just miffed because I was right and you was wrong, i did try to warn you except it and move on.

We’ ll see at the end of the season who’s wrong and who’s right Balloons. At the moment ( and I hope I’m wrong) I think our owner has just condemned us to certain relegation.
I don’t know where you get your 90% from. I don’t care anyway. As I’ve said before, I’m not standing for election and I’d rather be unfashionable and right than “funky” and wrong.

Stevie, Nuno had good success at Wolves and speaking from memory only had a few months at Spurs so we will never find out whether he was a loser there or not.
I like to think Spurs loss was our gain. Mr M should have nurtured and supported Nuno by sacking Edu and helping our then manager flourish.
Rather like the Forest hierarchy back in the day supported and nurtured a certain “loser “ from Leeds called Brian Clough …….
