Popular Post Ricey Posted 12 February Popular Post Posted 12 February I feel like I make this point once every 6 months, but Sean Dyche would be a disaster here. This squad could not be further away from one that would function under his style of play, both tactically and mentally. We'd be left with dire, negative football that still wouldn't generate results. If he had a summer to bring in 6 or 7 players, maybe, but once he's done that we are left with a squad that can only play Dyche's style...and that is a cul-de-sac you don't want to find yourself in once we all inevitably get sick of his football and his demeanor, as the Forest fans have. Do we need someone to give this team some discipline and structure, yes, but these players would not respond to Dyche. 6 2
Pliskin Posted 12 February Posted 12 February It’s Kingy until the end of the season. None of their “targets” will want the job, and the only ones who may consider it they won’t want. So, it’s going to be King until the end of the season. 3
Foxin_Mad Posted 12 February Posted 12 February 2 minutes ago, Iran said: Honestly should've just stuck by Marti at this point... No because he was a useless twat. We were 100% going down under him, now we are 99% going down so something had to be done. Every game under that clown this year we have got progressively worse, more unfit. He had to go. He is the reason we are as bad as we are, this club shouldn't be in this position. The biggest incompetence was employing a fraud like him. 1
Aleksz Posted 12 February Posted 12 February Dyche would keep us up, but maintain what I said in the summer that he would be an absolutely dire fit here long term and you'd end up having to pay to sack him within a year. If you could get him on a short term deal then great, ideal, but there's little chance of him coming full stop let alone short term. 2
Iran Posted 12 February Posted 12 February Just now, Donwebbio said: At this point we should have stuck with Cooper. Well clearly we didn't have a replacement lined up... Would you rather have risked it with Marti and allowed him to figure it out or an Andy King with no managerial history? Statistically, I know what I've would've chosen.

Said this all along got pelters for saying it, plus no one wants to work with basket cases Rudkin and Top.

I think we are saying the same thing. There has been absolutely no value in moving from Cooper > RvN > Marti > King. We would be in a stronger position at this point if we had kept Cooper. Not to mention the millions it has cost. Edited 12 February by Donwebbio 2
Taz_The_Fox Posted 12 February Posted 12 February Makes you wonder now if Rowett approached the club personally and offered his services. They've turned around and said "nah your alright we are going for [insert big name manager here]" and that so called big manager has told us to do one and now we are scrambling.
dmayne7 Posted 12 February Posted 12 February Dyche isn't much more realistic than Frank. Considering where Forest were when he took over, he's done a really good job so his stock will still be plenty high enough for another PL job
Iran Posted 12 February Posted 12 February Can't understand the Dyche shouts, we don't even have the players for DycheBall. Not to mention it'd being career suicide for him should we go down.
Officer Doofy Posted 12 February Posted 12 February 3 minutes ago, Aleksz said: Dyche would keep us up, I don't think he would actually. He's never going to get what he would want out of our lightweight, unfit bunch of bottlers. He hasn't got time to improve fitness levels to appropriate levels and there is no way our softies can play his style with any degree of success. Personally I don't think it matters who we bring in now.
Sly Posted 12 February Posted 12 February 5 minutes ago, Donwebbio said: At this point we should have stuck with Cooper. I despised his football and I called for him to be axed from the pre season he joined. However….. We’ve gone from bad to worse since they got rid of him. That alone is something special and at this point I think it shows more about our players than it does the head coach. Dyche would take one look at this squad and come no where near us if he’s got any sense. I’m at the point where I think a half fit Souttar would improve us and he’d need him fit to give us half a chance of fighting out of this shit show we are in. 1

Souttar wouldn’t change a thing we need two new full backs and a proper striker for starters 4
scinnell Posted 12 February Posted 12 February Wanted Dyche in the summer - he would be the perfect fit. No way a proven manager joins this circus though, especially mid season with league one a high possibility. 3

BigGibbo Posted 12 February Posted 12 February Yea, Dyche would laugh at us (along with Frank, Enzo, etc), aside from the fact all our weak players would down tools the second he raised his gravelly voice at them. You need enough of a certain type of working class player ethic in the squad for Dyche to work and we have a bunch of silver spooned losers so this is a double non-starter.

Marti was not going to figure it out, he was shite, we were getting shitter, we had just been played off the park by Oxford United, by an amateur manager, he had to go. 1
BigGibbo Posted 12 February Posted 12 February We're on a hell of a downward flywheel spiral here. We're already struggling to recruit, yet the more we lose, the more inevitable League One is, and the more inevitable League One is, the less likely we are to attract a competent upwardly mobile candidate. Once we enter the relegation spots, with our form record, we're going to be stuck with a reluctant, increasingly depressed and unfairly targeted Andy King until the summer... at least... King Power Out.
Mike Oxlong Posted 12 February Posted 12 February Blimey ! How things have changed. It doesn't seem that long ago that most of us would have turned up our nose at Dyche. Shows how far we have fallen 1
Blue-fox Posted 12 February Posted 12 February The club could actually be struggling to find a manager that would want to come to us, how embarrassing is that. 😂

Manwell Pablo Posted 12 February Posted 12 February On 03/02/2026 at 23:14, Tuna said: They are obviously going to give King a game or two to see if he can influence things. Charlton was a write off. Why though.....taking emotion out of it what credentials does Andy King have to take a clearly highly difficult job like this on and not massively struggle. He's just a tool to try and get some fan sympathy going. Frankly he deserves better than being given this to take on, he can't really turn down it down as it's a chance to get his foot on the managerial ladder and prove something but the reality is it's just a badly poisoned chalice for someone with his level of experience that could do him more harm than good. 2
