    ‘The season is now an embarrassment for Forest’published at 09:45 GMT

    Nuno was sacked 23 days into the season.

    His replacement Postecoglou lasted 39 days.

    Dyche at least made it past the 100-day mark, but his reign ends after 114.

    Nottingham Forest are now remarkably searching for a fourth manager of a season which has lurched from crisis to crisis.

    Forest’s problems are of their own making after Nuno fell out with global sporting director Edu and owner Marinakis to make his position untenable.

    Postecoglou was an ill-advised appointment, a clash of styles going from Nuno’s counter-attack to the Australian’s high-pressing, high-action game.

    Dyche was supposed to be the safe pair of hands, reverting back to what the squad knew under Nuno, and his connection with the club – having come through the academy – initially made it a sweet homecoming.

    Seven wins from his first 12 stabilised the club and season to a point, with Forest mid-table in the league if results since Dyche was appointed in October were only taken into account.

    But just two wins in their past 10 league games – plus an FA Cup exit to Wrexham last month – saw a rapid loss of faith from both the board and the fans.

    The season is now an embarrassment for Forest. It was not supposed to be like this, with European football returning to the City Ground for the first time since 1995-96.

    But after two failed appointments and the decision to sack Nuno after a breakdown in relationships Forest are in tatters.

    They finished seventh last season and spent £180m but relegation is a very real possibility in a season where the club, especially Postecoglou, had targeted winning the Europa League.
