People who start with "Listen..." bug the S*&@ out of me.
Wood is intelligent but to me people who do this kind of thing come across as though they're aware people don't usually listen to them

I thought all Aussies started every sentence with „G‘day mate!“ or something?
 
Did you read my post?

I think he was a better manager overall, everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong under Ange

Dyche's reign was an almost best case scenario for him

Both are garbage regardless, we just saw the worst of one and the best of another. In 5 years time, I guarentee Ange will be doing good jobs, Dyche will be managing West Brom or Stoke in the bottom half of the Championship.

With Ange, I found it extraordinary that we had no attacking patterns of play - given that he’s supposed to be an ‘attacking’ manager. Even more extraordinary was he presented his whole tenure as the ex-Spurs manager, rather than the Forest manager.

With Dyche, the unbelievable thing was those two games versus his old team Everton. Just wow. It was beyond comprehension how bad we were, and how we played into their hands.

When Ange came in he tried to do too much too soon, I think he quickly realised that so went back to what we were doing before, and we just turned into a mash of nothingness that just kept conceding set pieces. If he had actually followed his own saying of "It's who we are mate" he might have had a bit more joy. Dyche then brought a clear idea, it's just the idea was crap so the more you saw of it the more you realised this is shocking.

VP has basically done the same but the idea is good & fits the players we have (I remember when he was appointed being pretty happy that we would play a style that would resemble a default way of playing in the modern game), he is the first manager we have had in this era able to get Forest pressing & attacking well - not what I was expecting. And that's ignoring that VP is seemingly the only guy that's managed us that seems to actually want to get on with the players. Dyche only wanted to get on with the fans & Ange only wanted to get on with the press.

So glad he’s gone. Today showed how terrible a manager he was sorry Alf. The guy had Steve Stone drunkenly in the Bell saying how only 6 of our players were “prem quality” well we’re staying up thanks to our b team and he’s unemployed.
He certainly deserves a lot of credit for the last few matches, the way he has got the entire squad performing, scoring goals, he's even got Sels saving pens and Morato not making so many costly mistakes...

I still think Dyche would have kept us up. But we would not have done it in so much style and would probably be needing a result on the last day to be safe. But we will never know and this is better for now.

Let's just hope he gets the backing in the summer and he doesn't "replicate" what he did in the 2nd season at Wolves. But I doubt (although one of the big players will clearly have to be sold) that we won't end up having to sell like Wolves did...

I knew the Steve stone thing months ago and didn’t like it. He said more too. I bring it up now feeling more comfortable but I was angry as shit when J heard Dyches opinion on the team who finished 7th last season. Hope he enjoys talk sport.

Given the way the run in has turned out I'm not sure I share your optimism in him keeping us up, especially if the players weren't playing for him. Hadn't heard the Steve Stone story, but if that's true it says a lot.

Results tapered off and the turnaround has been pretty drastic. If I'm not mistaken, Dyche's last 9 PL games saw him accrue 9 points (1PPG) and the same sample size has seen 15 points under Pereira (1.6PPG).

Assuming a similar return (obviously all hypothetical) we'd be 6 points worse off and level with West Ham. Still in the fight but I wouldn't be feeling optimistic. I also think we'd have been out of Europa at this stage.

We'll obviously never know but I'm glad the change happened. I was starting to not enjoy heading down for the games and that's a rarity for me.

According to a Wolves mate VPs shopping list was from Tesco's, the owner went and bought from Netto and told him to make do.

What else did he say?
My hatred for Dyche couldn’t get any higher, until I’ve just seen his new Instagram account.
The bloke is a grade A bell.
