Don't assume it will be the same for us as it was for you. (although in fairness, he kept you up despite a 10 point deduction. That was the job he was given)
However, he is Forest to the core. It means almost as much to him as it does to us. I have faith in the ex #NFFC 5 as our coaching team.

First clean sheet for 21 games!
First Porto defeat of the season!

The Dyche effect 😍 #NFFC

Marinakis has been the saviour of #NFFC
When he bought the club, he promised he would get us promoted and get the club back into Europe. He has spent a fortune on the club on and off the pitch. He has also contributed lots to the community.

It was that first interview when they asked him if he was happy to be back in the Premier League with Forest & he grimaced, shrugged & and said, "I guess so"

No they don't, they only came on board under Cooper! They didn't suffer Phillipe Montanier, or Paul Williams or Alex McLeish, or Steve MacLaren or Gary Megson etc, etc, etc!!
They missed 16k crowds under Fawaz, as we list at home to Preston, again. They've probably never even heard of Yeovil.

It'll be interesting to see what he thinks after getting to know him, and actually working with him. It's no coincidence that every manager since O'Neill gave him his debut, has been won over by Ryan.
Also, he's our only club grown over 21s player, so he's needed for Europe.

A very young Sean Dyche as part of the Forest Academy, with the Forest 1st team (Stuart Pearce, Des Walker, Nigel Clough etc).

Gillbo @gillbo.bsky.social · 6d

Just found this awesome photo #NFFC WOW, some true Forest legends there! 😍

Gillbo @gillbo.bsky.social · 6d

I believe EM gets "itk info" put out there to judge fan opinion.
Maybe he saw all the "likes" on appointing Ange, but didn't realise they were mainly from Palace, Spurs, Derby, and Liverpool fans!

Gillbo @gillbo.bsky.social · 6d

✅️ Is a Red, he hates Derby! 😆

Gillbo @gillbo.bsky.social · 6d

Dyche was a Forest Academy product. He's also a fan who's had season tickets. His assistants are two club legends.
If anyone can de-Ange the club it's Dyche!

Gillbo @gillbo.bsky.social · 6d

That's my thinking too. It's like us taking over in Football Manager, but in real life lol!

Gillbo @gillbo.bsky.social · 6d

Add to this he's a fan of the club, so there's extra passion involved. He brings 2 #NFFC club legends with him, too.

If he can get us defending like last season, uses players to their strengths, and brings back the smiles to the faces of players and fans alike, he could be a great addition

Dave Holmes @daveho1mes.bsky.social · 7d

Dyche took Burnley to seventh place and Europe with minimal investment, took over Everton during their darkest hours and without points deductions would have finished tenth, again with no financial backing.

I’m actually quite excited about what he could do with the #NFFC squad.

Gillbo @gillbo.bsky.social · 6d

No, but Ange destroyed the most effective defence of last season, an amazing dressing room atmosphere, and lost the fans in just 25 days (remember, there was a 2 week international break!)
Dyche is a #NFFC academy product (& Forest fan), Stone & Woan are Reds legends. They'll get us back on track.

Gillbo @gillbo.bsky.social · 7d

He was lucky the international break came when it did. It bought him 2 weeks grace!

Gillbo @gillbo.bsky.social · 7d

Nice to "meet" you. It's a million times better than the other place. Especially since yesterday's announcement!

Gillbo @gillbo.bsky.social · 7d

Gillbo @gillbo.bsky.social · 7d

It's not great ... swap Derby and Sheff Wednesday!

Gillbo @gillbo.bsky.social · 7d

Not just the results on the pitch, it's the clear loss of that dressing room atmosphere. From laughing, banter, and holidaying together to looking like they've never played together and are all sworn enemies.
Add the toxicity amongst the fanbase, and it's a club destroyed.

Gillbo @gillbo.bsky.social · 7d

The difference is that even then, Clough was improving the team. Players were starting to perform better.
Postecoglou destroyed a decent team, a happy fan base and a great dressing room atmosphere. #NFFC

Gillbo @gillbo.bsky.social · 7d

A better defender than our current left back

Gillbo @gillbo.bsky.social · 7d

I was listening on the radio, there was no reaction whatsoever from the home crowd.
